Sylvaneth Dryads

First 5 Dryads for my Sylvaneth army are complete, with the next 5 nearly done too.

Chaos turn 2

Skra returned before the Brass Throne with the flesh and skulls of the lesser goblins his warriors slaughtered. However Khorne was not amused, an idol had been destroyed by goblin survivors during the bloodshed.
His torture felt eternal, but he knew his masters will was law.
Skara now has returned with a new lieutenant by his side, known only as the Reaver, a Mighty rider, atop a Juggernaut ready for war. As Skara returns to the mortal realms, he can see the Gods most stubborn of foes.....Elves

Aelves Round 2

The Sky Cutter swept down between the rocks and landed amongst a sea of bone. The giant eagle that bore the graceful craft pecked amongst the dry carrion whilst the riders leapt clear and began loading the injured and the dead onto the deck.  Reavers galloped to the rocky outpost, the clack of hooves alerting Ethoric Windhelm of their arrival. "We have it my Lord" the captain bellowed frantically. Ethoric gathered a large bundle gently into his arms and mounted his horse, racing behind the Reavers, out of the camp and towards the forest.

Ethoric was greeted by a line of Spire Guard whispering nervously, their spear tips and arrows primed towards the darkness. The Seahelm dismounted and held the bundle in front of him, letting the swaddling fall free onto the forest floor revealing a gleaming golden egg. Something stirred, scattering leaves and shuddering the trunks of ancient trees. Ethoric tenderly lay the egg on the moss and bowed his head. He called something in a tongue long forgotten. On one knee he waited as the darkness drew closer.

Dragons!
I got lucky against Ev in the last game; I rolled some critical saves at essential times and my SkyCutter wreaked havoc. I held my stronghold and maintained all of my units despite suffering many casualties. My prize? A behemoth! And what better than a Dragon for my Aelves. I have the choice of two in my model collection. A Dragon Lord or a Carmine Dragon. The Dragon Lord would give me a double advantage of having another battlefield general too so we've agreed that I can use the Carmine Dragon at half health for my upcoming battle against John's Khorne horde. Here's hoping the current small size of my army doesn't count against me. I think the reward for this map is a unit of Elite infantry so I'm looking forward to using my Shadow Warriors in the future.

Goblins Round 2

Gronk the troll swallowed down his fifth goblin with a brief squeak and a loud crunch. Nob Gobbla smiled he had been smiling all week since a new batch of mushrooms arrived from the Pirate shore. He knew the lads would want in on them, but how to deal with the sneaky gits who would try to pilfer from his stash?

Nob Gobbla burst into a fit of giggles as a idea formed, what if he swapped the shrooms?

Whats the worst that could happen giving the thieving gits mad cap mushrooms!  

This month i will be adding 3 trolls to my list to hopefully add a more resilient side to the force.

I chose to attack the pirate shore this turn for 2 main reasons first is it will be a good way to pick up a group of fanatics and secondly I don't think its a location that many people will try and steal away from me!

*Insert plotting cackle*

I will be fighting Ev's death army in the watchtower my plan is to start Nob Gobbla and his body guard of trolls in the tower and just hope to hold off the waves of undead long enough to survive the game!

Painting 
This month i painted up and based the 3 trolls and hope too get 2 gaints finished that have been sitting on my painting table for too long!

Lost Isle Round 1 Summary

Lost Isle Round 1 Summary

The first round games are complete and a number of close games played!

This turn the commanders turned their beady eyes on the following locations. 

• Vitali  Vondrak (death) - The lair of Norouzi
• Ethoric Windhelm (order)  -  The lair of Norouzi 
• Nob gobbla (destruction) -  Arjan badlands 
• Skara skull lasher (chaos) -  Workshop of Namdar

This meant that Vitali and Ethoric would compete to activate 2 ancient monoliths of power to awaken the great beast that lay within.

Ethoric Just edged out victory with the gods favoring his rolls and despite taking many wounds and struggling to hold the objectives not a single unit was lost.

To the west however the hordes of the blood god were constructing a monument of skulls to please their dark patron when  a goblin rabble stumbled across them on the hunt for troll bait.

All was going well for the followers of khorne cutting a bloody swathe through the swarm of greenskins till their chariot drove full pelt into the pile of skulls scattering it to the winds.

This put the scores after the first round at:

Vitali  Vondrak (death) - 3

Ethoric Windhelm (order)  -  4

Nob gobbla (destruction) -  5 

Skara skull lasher (chaos) - 3

After reinforcements the following units were added to each army:

Vitali  Vondrak (death) - 5 grave guard

Ethoric Windhelm (order)  -  carmine dragon

Nob gobbla (destruction) -  3 trolls

Skara skull lasher (chaos) - skull Master herald of khorne

Death Round 1

Vitali Vondrak paced impatiently around the throne room of Frosthelm Keep, feeling his anger rising. For countless centuries his family had ruled the Vondrak realm under his fathers rule. It had been more than a hundred years since anyone had even dared to rise against his family and it had been Vitali himself who had done what was needed to be done to restore rule. But what thanks had he received? Seen by his father and brothers as the renegade of the family, always seeking to push the boundaries of the realm by conquering neighboring
lands he had long since been sent to the frozen wastes of distant Frosthelm to rule the frozen wasteland. The long years had only served to increase his frustration at the lack of ambition his father showed. For too long had he sat idle and he was growing more and more desperate to feel the thrill of war again.

News had reached him of the strange occurrences surrounding the ancient gate in the mountains of Frosthelm and had thought of little else. The gateway had been dormant since even before his birth but the ancient stories had told of the passageway to a distant land known as the 'Lost Isles'. Untold power and unimaginable wealth was said to be located in this mysterious land and he was determined to claim them for himself!  Stirred into action he called out to his faithful Necromancer Dregan.

"Prepare the troops. We once again go to war!
