Dwarfs vs Ogre Kingdom, 2500 pts

As I arrived, Ogres were fighting Undead

I was lucky enough to find myself an opponent in the always-pleasant Benjamin and his overweight representatives of the Ogre Kingdoms. His army was being led by a Tyrant sporting a Wizard's Hat, which luckily enough (for him) ended up giving him the Lore of Death and the Purple Sun. Just my luck. Furthermore, he had a Brusier with the Battle Standard, the rest of the points were spent on warm bodies. The Tyrant was leading a unit of 7 Ironguts, while the Bruiser joined up with 7 Bulls. They were flanked by a total of three units of 4 Ironguts each, as well as a unit of 3 Bulls, and some Gnoblars, a Slavegiant and a Gorger hiding somewhere.

When the Ogres got the first turn, I knew this was going to end in bloody battle sooner rather than later.

2500 pts Dwarfs

I spent much of the weekend down at the local gaming club. With the new book coming out soon, I wasn't really feeling up for playing my now old and outrageously outdated O&G army, so I figured I'd start on my new army project for 2011 - The Dwarfs.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'll be running a theme with these guys, namely that of an underground hold valiantly protecting their prized treasure - the Anvil. As such, there are a few self-imposed restrictions that I placed upon myself when making up my army list:

• Must include the Anvil of Doom
• Must include Ironbreakers and Miners
• May not include Grudge Throwers or Gyrocopters
• No unit may cost more than 450 point, or number more than 40 models (local tournament restriction)

The year of the Stunties (Tavern Talk)

I'm afraid I'll have to apologize for the lack of updates since last time. I took a little break and went away for the holidays, only to return in time to notice that our internet connection, the cornerstone of every nerd's home, had gone down. Poff, out, no more. In fact, it has yet to even return. Combine that with the fact that the main server crashed at work and was out for the entire first week back and suddenly blogging became very difficult. Take heart in the fact that I've got a bunch of posts lined up waiting to be posted, starting out with a short contribution to the Trading Post. This time, the topic is the new year:

The new year is here, time for all those promises you make to the ‘hobby gods’, friends and family about your hobby.  It is time to admit them to the blogosphere, to share with us all the resolutions you have made for Fantasy in the new year.  What are your plans for the up coming year?  What goals do you hope to achieve for 2011?
