A short Circle update

My Circle army is coming along well. I’ve finished painting Baldur, a Woldwyrd, a Woldwarden, an unit of Shifting Stones, and a Sentry Stone with a full compliment of Mannikins. I also have a painted up a unit of Bog Trogs. I am now working on a unit of Gatormen and another Sentry Stone with a full compliment of Mannikins. I plan on buying another Woldwyrd and Krueger in the near future. No pictures as of yet (I forgot my camera when we gamed tonight) but I hope to add some soon (I personally think the army is turning out great).

So far I’ve won both of the two 500 point games that I’ve played. My first game was against Nate. He was playing a Darius list that was running 3 heavy jacks. I assassinated his caster on the third turn by using Mannikins to make forest and then useing Baldur’s Forest Walker ability to smack down Darius. Tonight I played John and his new Legion Thagrosh list. I assassinated Thagrosh on turn two. This occurred more because John messed up than any great skill on my part. He left Thagrosh with no focus on him and I shot him with a Woldwyrd and the finished him with a spell cast from the Woldwarden (it helped that I rolled really well).

My new Hordes force

Recently I decided to build a second army for Privateer Press’ tabletop game, Hordes. Not only did I want a new army but I really need a break from painting my Protectorate. I have always really enjoyed the look of the Circle Orboros so I chose to build my new force from that faction (not to mention almost all of the minions that I own will work for Circle, thus allowing me to build a army more quickly). Now that it has been decided which army to build, few simple rules for building this new force needed to be set:

1. To play with a model, it must be painted and based.
2. I can only own one unpainted unit and one individual model (solo, warbeast, or warlock) at a time

In theory, these guidelines should motivate me to quickly build a fully painted force. At first my army will strongly focus on the construct warbeast (sticks and stones will break some bones) but I might branch out latter. The good thing is I don’t have to rush on module buying since I already own plenty of models to play.I'll post some pictures once I have some painted units.
