Title: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on July 08, 2008, 11:35:00 PM: One day, several gamers made a pact to build and complete 1,000 point Warmachine and Hordes armies in six(ish) months. This is their story...

I'm sure everyone on this board has either took part in or read about something called "Tale of X Gamers", with x being defined as the number of participants. I wish I could offer the reader some innovation to this gaming cliche, but screw it. Seldom do you see anyone chronicle the development of a Warmachine or Hordes army, so there's the twist you cynics need. Without further ado, here's a list of who's committed to this trial and what army they'll be developing:

Ian Mulligan - Protectorate of Menoth (http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=64.0)

Matt Thomas - Cryx (http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=92.0)

Stephanie Mulligan - Privateers

Steve Daigneault - Searforge Contract

Deadline for 350 points painted: September 30th. COMPLETED

Deadline for 500 points painted: November 30th. COMPLETED

In the six(ish) months ahead of us, we'll be moving from our initial 350 point armies to 500 points, to 750, and all the way to 1,000. Though I can only speak for myself at this moment, expect posts about unit selection, painting, and game play as this journey winds its way.

Post by: Matt Thomas on July 11, 2008, 09:35:21 AM: Update:

To avoid having two privateer armies in the build I will be building either:

Cryx
A different mercenary army (Ashlyn or Magnus)

I think I have settled on Cryx with Lich Lord Terminus as my caster but I am still a bit ambivalent as I have a lot of mercenaries that also need work.

I have ruled out Kador for this run.

Title: Re: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Matt Thomas on July 14, 2008, 11:04:01 PM: Hmm... 6 weeks to 500 might be pushing it with all the other stuff I have going on. I am game to try though.
Guess I will have to get going faster than I thought.
... now where are those models.

Post by: Ian Mulligan on July 14, 2008, 11:23:12 PM: Ha! I'm getting married. I totally forgot about that taking time.

Let's aim to get the 350 lists painted and ready by the end of September. Then, we start the 500 point ones.
Title: Perfect
Post by: Matt Thomas on July 15, 2008, 02:03:24 PM: Plus that leaves time for anyone else who wants to join in the fun.

Even if you have an army. Commit to painting it!
Title: Post your stuff people
Post by: Matt Thomas on July 19, 2008, 02:31:19 PM: I know Steph has done some work on her models and it looks like D is picking up Kahdor... let's see some posts on your progress people.

Post by: Ian Mulligan on August 12, 2008, 06:41:40 PM: if anyone wants to jump in on this, feel free. I'd love to see some people chronicle their work.

Post by: ThePenanceStare on August 27, 2008, 09:13:39 AM: If I may, I have a battle box of Cygnar with Captain Victoria Haley priming as we speak, I'm really sure the point value yet, but it is a start.
Title: Re: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on August 28, 2008, 01:21:25 AM: Awesome! If you want any help making a list, don't hesitate in asking. I played Cygnar for a little while and there are few lurkers here who still do.

Post by: Thornosac on September 03, 2008, 10:12:35 PM: I've been toying with a predominantly cavalry Cygnar force.
Storm Lances +1, Kraye, a light jack and Laddermore works out to around 350.

I'm working on SL's right now, I saw Laddermore at the store and Kraye should be released shortly.
If I work fast, maybe I can get them all together.
Title: Running short on time!!
Post by: Matt Thomas on September 13, 2008, 01:06:42 PM: I am running short on time to get my 350 list assembled and painted. The Bane Knights took way longer than expected. Fortunately they are ready for priming.

Left to do:
1. Finish assembling Terminus (pinning some wing tips)
2. Base Terminus and the Seether
3. Prime and paint EVERYTHING!

That is a LOT of painting in a short amount of time. Hopefully I can still make it. It may mean no more games till I am done though :(

Post by: Ian Mulligan on September 13, 2008, 01:36:18 PM: I have some finishing touches on Zealots and then my choir to finish. I am sittin' pretty.
Title: Re: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on October 04, 2008, 12:04:07 PM: PROPOSED DEADLINE FOR 500 POINTS PAINTED: NOVEMBER 30th.

Is that okay for all involved? The Mulligan household thinks its a pansy date but will go along with the slowpokes.
Title: Re: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Matt Thomas on October 04, 2008, 07:45:20 PM: Sounds fine. As soon as I feel better I will try to catch up on painting.
Hopefully things will speed up with no more Bane Knights to assemble.
Title: Re: Armies of Immoren!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on December 01, 2008, 08:43:24 PM: I propose a March 1st deadline for 750, but could be persuaded into something later if MATT THOMAS FINISHED HIS WHOLE ARMY.
