[Up at 4am again]<\/p>\n
Today we played our first game of Hordes. Renn’s Trollbloods vs Brigh’s Orboros “Solid Stone” force. I didn’t record it mostly on account of some unpainted figures (I wouldn’t want your delicate eyes being sullied by white primer). Brigh’s army is a tough nut to crack and I think the learning curve is steep. We all learned a lot about how the game is played.<\/p>\n
Hordes is more like a game of gladiatorial combat than a wargame of battlefield tactics. It’s very rich and complex. I plan on doing some how-to videos.<\/p>\n
For my part I managed to paint a unit of Ferox Riders (guys on sabre-tooth tigers), a Cyclops Shaman and a Basilisk Krea. I am holding off on pictures until the entire force is done, 858 points in total. I painted the Krea a lime-green which really makes it look like a toad. Is that a bad thing? Well, I like it.<\/p>\n
The typical game of Hordes is played at 750 pts. That’s like a 2000 point game of Warhammer.<\/p>\n
