The Tribe of Grahk the Pale

I like the heavy warpaint you're doing on the guts and Zugrut, something about that look I just like.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this log. Since then I've painted...um...a gorger.
However just today I dragged out from storage 40 gnoblars, which I put together and undercoated. I've done a fair bit of gaming since then though, and I've come to appreciate the ogres much more as an army. I've been using a few proxies for the last few weeks but I'm planning to buy the following...

-Giant
-Scraplauncher

And flesh the army out to 3000pts with some more ironguts and butchers.

So anyway. Expect gnoblars soon, expect pics of my Mordheim Warband (Cathayans: using Mercenary rules) and expect some time in the near/distant future pics of a scrappie and slavegiant.

So, in that long time, you only painted A GORGER ? 

Good to see that you haven't forgotten the good old ogres (I already read your excellent tactical topics on the Feeding Grounds, which really showed you haven't forgotten about the ogres).

I finished painting a whole forty gnoblars before realising something very odd. They'd been looking awful familiar with their blue shirts, white skin and green hats. Then it hit me.


...

Dammit. So I've started again, repainting the shirts red and removing the green entirely. Oh dear. Tommorrow I'm playing a 13,000pt a side megagame, and I plan to spend a bit of time recording the thing. Expect an epic battle report.

It was Wildcard. You can see pics of his lemming gnoblars on his Legendary gnoblog.

I started out taking detailed notes of every single move, but got sick of doing it about two hours in. Probably a good thing, as the game went about 11 hours. 

Some great pics and an overview on our club forum.

Sounds awesome Who won? Was there a narrative to it, or was it just a pitched battle?

Thread...ARISE!

Alrighty, I've got many a thing for y'all but there's a problem: my internet is supplied by the university and runs through a proxy server. Said server hates photobucket. Anyone know other imaging services that work through photobucket. Also, it's been a long wait, but I'll definately be continuing this...

'A tap tap tapping, a gentle rapping, doth rap upon my chamber door,' thought Alexander, rather more wrily in his own mind than on paper. He replaced "Daemonologie ande the Underthinges" back onto the shelf, stood up and wandered over to the door. He peeped through the peephole and nearly fell backwards, so shocked was he by the tragic figure awaiting his presence. It was the Tilean, the same man he'd had his acolytes searching for for weeks. He pulled the door open with great aplomb and took a better look at Alonzo. He was soaked, and the Witch Hunter noted for the first time how heavily it was raining outside. The dark streets were deserted but for this dreary figure, dripping all over Alexander's doorstep. "Ah...Alonzo...is it? How very convenient, I was just thinking about you. Do come in, dry yourself off. What brings you to my humble abode?" he asked, waving at his lavish entranceway with a dismissive hand. He led the man in and sat him down, noting how heavily the man was shaking. He couldn't be that cold, could he? "What's wrong friend?" He drew them both a large brandy and sat back, awaiting the man's response.

It took a while for the merchant to start up, words coming out in fits and bursts. "Dark. Eyes. Teeth." Pause. "Chasing. Fire. Plague." Pause. "Help. Followed. Help. Followed. The man was frantic now, his eyes darting around the room, lingering on the doors, windows and particularly the extravagant fireplace. He pushed himself to his feet and began to scramble about, pulling on the window bars, sliding bolts in all the doors. The fire was lit, and the man threw several large logs onto it, before retuning to his seat, still twitching and shaking. He sprang up again, and then began to pull books off the shelf, putting them into two piles, one significantly larger than the other. He pushed the smaller pile towards the witch hunter, and then, with as little ceremony as possible, died. He simply fell backwards out of his chair and lay still. Alexander went to check whether the man was dead, but the stream of green foam coming steadily from the corner of Alonzo's mouth gave the man all the answers he needed.

He had returned to his seat and began to ponder the night's events when he heard a tiny sound from high above. A furtive scuttling from the rooftops, starting from directly above the Late Alonzo's seat and quickly moving off into the distance. He picked up the pile of books and read the covers. He paused, putting the books in a neat pile, stepped across the room, and threw them into the fire. Several blocks away, in an unobtrusive neighborhood house, the laughter started.
