Aspirations of Lichdom: Blindly Stumbling Around in Search of a Warcaster
Purchasing models for a new game while you are still learning how to play it can be a frustrating endeavor. I know that fault lies with me and that I should have

One of the things I truly find interesting about Warmachine and Hordes is the way they have blended genres and types in truly interesting and entertaining fashions. While I was originally drawn to Cryx for the Bane Thralls, the more I read about the faction the more I like the blend of pirates and undead that they have combined to make one combined force. Now, I will be the first one to say undead and pirates? What? However, when you…. Read more »
I am still playing Warhammer 40K and I am still playing my Daemons without allies. I am really enjoying the Flying Monstrous Circus build I have been playing since right after the book released. In addition to the Keeper of Secrets and 2 Daemon Princes pictured above, I have also added a third Daemon Prince, Great Unclean One, Lord of Change, and Fateweaver to the mix. Currently, I am painting up the third Daemon Prince and the Great Unclean One as our escalation league moves into 1750 points. Now, I know the popular choice is the Bloodthirster, and I agree he is full of badassery; however… Read more »
Warmachine and Hordes; this will be my second foray into Warmachine and Hordes. My first foray was a very short three month endeavor about one year ago that resulted in me selling off my Legion of Everblight army.
You read that right, I have not only completed my April Goal for my army, but I have completed the entire 1850 point army. Now, this does not mean I am done, I am still painting up Daemons, but I have painted 1850+ points of Daemons since January. First we will start with a look of my April Commitment and then the whole army. Read more »
Wiser men than I, from a diverse set of backgrounds and occupations have said in one way or another than in order to succeed, in order to be successful, you must evolve and/or adapt in order to stay abreast of change. H.G. Wells said it like this, “adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.” Whether you or I like it, the Chaos Daemons have changed. Gone are the days of Fatecrusher, Flamer/Screamer Spam, or Fearless and Eternal Warrior Cavalry Lists. The new codex has ushered in dynamically different book that plays nothing like its predecessor, in terms of style or even model count. Personally, this has led to dramatic changes with my Old Chaos Daemon Army; the first of which is I am now calling it my Chaos Army…. Read more »
It is that time again, time to make my monthly hobby commitment for the Independent Character Hobby Challenge . However, before I do so, I must first say that I have made my commitments for the first three months of the challenge. This is something I am quite proud of considering the fact that I made two commitments during the entirety of their last challenge and didn't complete a single one of them. Read more »
Month three is not even over and I have already finished my Monthly commitment for the Independent Character hobby challenge! In case you are counting, that is three for three! This is a big deal to me because last time I tried this challenge, I posted for two months, failed to make either commitment and then got sidetracked playing my Grey (Green) Knights.
Well, it has been awhile since I have posted. There have been a variety of reasons for this; without boring you with the details, let us just say that it involved my old computer imploding and my reoccurring kidney issue. However, I am back on the hobby train and the fitness train barely slowed down. Read more »
I will start this article by saying that I am a fan of the new Chaos Daemon Codex. While it is still early, it really gives me the type of army that I like, an army with a lot of solid choices. The one sad part about the new codex is the fact that I am going to have to paint a whole lot more models as my troops choices are woefully undermanned at this point in time. While I do not mind painting, it is a wee bit disappointing as I am back to about 1250 points of playable Daemons due to the changes the codex brought. Let me say I like these changes, it will just require me to paint more….this is because… …many of the models I had already purchased an painted do not work as a cohesive “tournament” force anymore. This is because I had planned on going all Tzeentch with a few Nurgle Squads for objective holding. While that army is still a valid and playable army (thank you GW), it is not an army that is designed well enough to withstand tournament play. This is because instead of GIFTS, many of the previous powers are now Psychic Abilities and have a greater chance of being shut down. This loss of reliability coupled with a decrease in durability and hitting power means that I am scrambling to get an army together in a rather shortened time frame
