AToFG: Circle Orboros Final Family Portraits

And after almost a full year of the Tale of Four Gamers Painting Challenge, I finally completed the final and 10th set this month. Here are a couple of family portraits of effectively 11 months of painting Hordes Circle Orboros:



AToFG: November Painting Circle Orboros Woldwrath Gargantuan

And here is the final set, set#5, for the Tale of Four Gamers Painting Challenge which was started in October but I couldn't finish it in time due to a heavy workload and business travel. I finished the model in November and used one of my two joker cards for October.

Here is the Woldwrath Gargantuan in winter theme:





'You' talkin' to me'?:

This model was a lot of work to paint and took a lot of patience. I am happy with the end result but it was one of the hardest models I worked on, especially in terms of modelling (pinning and stuff) and painting (there was no end in sight for a while...).

Warhammer Fantasy Gaming: Triumph and Treachery Expansion

Last Friday, we tried a multi-player Warhammer Fantasy game using the news Triumph and Treachery Expansion. We were 5 players, each with 1500 pts. We didn't use the Mercenary rules for this game.

My Dark Elf Army was roughly: 

-Dreadlord on Cold One (with Sword of Anti-Heroes, very useful against the Bretonnians)
-Sorceress Level 1 on foot (lore of Death, got the Purple Sun)
-7 Cold-One Knights with full command
-15 Black Guards
-20 Dreadspears with full command
-10 Darkshards
-1 War Hydra with fiery spit upgrade

My opponents had Bretonnians with 2 lances of Knights errants and Knights of the realm, pegasus knights archers and a trebuchet ; Ogre Knigdom with the iron blaster, lead belchers, and other ogre units ; Tomb Kings with many chariots, screaming skull catapult and other skeleton units ; Orcs and goblins with a giant, black orks, chariots, night goblins and other orcs units.

The game was lots of fun and I will definitely be getting this expansion. The treachery and interfering with other players which comes from the added cards was very fun. Added bonus, I won with 1100 gold at the end.

Here are some pictures of the game:
