Looks like I have another game scheduled against Rob for Thursday, and one against Joey for next Thursday. Started writing battle report up, finally. Spent the weekend repairing/building. Fixed my Wrastler, Spitter, a Witch Doctor, Totem Hunter. Jaga-Jaga and Calaban are basically one piece away from being completely assembled. Worked on that third unit of Posse (my first plastic Posse unit). Have both bottom legs attached, and will attach them to the base next. Definitely moving along nicely

Game definitely happening tonight. I'm probably going to take Maelok again, as Maelok/Rask is the list pairing I'm trying to get fully finished before working on updating my next army (probably Cryx). Rob will probably take Anamog again. Should be fun.
Jaga-Jaga and Calaban are both fully assembled, and the Gatormen Posse are now attached to the bases and will be on the table tonight.
Bought a Boil Master and Spirit Cauldron. Forgot I don't own a Boneswarm yet. Will probably buy that asap.

Also, updated my Minion status list on the first page of this blog with my current status. Plenty of things moved from unassembled to assembled, new things added... still nothing painted yet :-\. That's going to be a goal very soon.
Next up for assembly will probably be Rorsh & Brine and a Swamp Horror.

Played against Rob last night. Took Maelok (Blindwater Congregation) against Anamag (Primal Terrors).
I didn't take notes, once again, as I still haven't written up my previous game (shame on me). I did end up being victorious, as Rob conceded. It was going pretty well for me, Gators match up pretty well against the Ogrun units, and on my feat turn, I did a lot of attrition work. He chipped away at my three units of Posse, but couldn't break through anywhere, and realized he wasn't going to get back in the game.
Things I learned- the Hellmouth is actually pretty freaking annoying. The first game he and I played, I was able to kill it almost right away, because he didn't hide it anywhere. This time, he parked it right behind a forest... and I couldn't easily get to it. It wasn't how killy it was (I don't think it actually killed anything), but those damn tentacles blocked charge lanes enough to get on my nerves.
I found Warspears a lot scarier than the Warmongers. The Warmongers really just feel inferior to Gatormen Posse. I wonder if it's just the matchup?
I'd have loved to see his list with the Blightbringer colossal for the extra strength. That probably would've made the game much much more difficult for me.
Anyway, next game is against Joey on the 14th. He'll be taking Ossrum. I don't know who I'll take yet.

Wow! Just noticed your blog down here. Great stuff so far!
Battlefoam is indeed great stuff, I don't bring any models with me that don't have a spot in my case. I am too clumsy and HATE when my models break... Especially if there is any paint on them.
Keep up the posts! I will be following along for sure!

Thanks!
Yeah, my old method of carrying minis.... was not safe. I've had some bad accidents that way (I remember dropping a metal Deathjack down a flight of stairs...). I love how much easier it is with the foam.
Now I just need to buy a bag to carry it around in!

Game TONIGHT again Joey! He'll have Ossrum! I'll have someone who looks good in gator-skin boots! Probably either Maelok or Rask... but I am considering a surprise Calaban too. WE SHALL SEE.

Ended up going with Rask. Popped feat bottom of Turn 1, Joey backed everything up, so I scored three points on bottom of 2. He got to work beating on my poor gators, and looked like he was going to attrition me to a victory, but I managed to get a Raged + Furied Totem Hunter to his objective, and scored two more points for the win!
Haven't worked on new minis quite yet, but should make some progress this weekend.

I hate to tell you this, but Rage hasn't worked on warriors since Mark II. To be more specific, it is friendly faction warbeast.

... Well... I need to learn to read, and stop assuming things are the same. Of course, this is also a good reason for me to post in here, because then people can point stuff out to me! I'll have to notify Joey of my mistake, alas

On the hobby side, I bought Wrong-Eye and Snapjaw, and have started assembly on them and Rorsh/Brine. Could get a real WWFF list up and running soon-ish

I also played a game last Wednesday against Ben, who played a lot with me in Mk2. He ran Issyria out of Defenders of Ios. I ran Calaban out of Blindwater Congregation. Pretty bloody game- I ended up with only 2 Posse left on the table at the end (out of 15). Didn't Rage any of them, thankfully . Ended up winning by scenario- looking back, he thinks he'd have been really well off had he chosen to go first (instead of second), as he could've engaged me on my side of the board, and kept me from playing for the scenario win.

So, assembly on my lesser warlocks is ongoing, but slow, as we prepare to buy a house and move.
In packing, I uncovered a box that I don't remember having, filled with a bunch of Warmachine/Hordes stuff! I apparently have quite a bit more Cygnar and Cryx stuff than I thought (and a decent amount of Retribution stuff). For Minions, I found a Boneswarm in the box, which is great, but otherwise, it's all stuff that will be great to have later.

Next game tonight- running my Rask WWFF list (with two Lesser warlocks! Finally!) against Rob, who will take Khador in some form. I expect to see a Harkevich + 2 colossal list, but maybe I'll be surprised. I'll have Rask, a bunch of solos, the Dracodile, two Lessers... and we'll hope for the best.
