Start of the force

The contents of the new starter set are very nice.  You get models, a fold out map, dice and generic PP branded tokens.  The plastic gives nice crisp detail but its still the resin based hard plastic that requires super glue to put together, and is a bit dense to drill into for pining.

Over all though I like the models and should be a fun start to my new army.

The Mother land calls all its sons and daughters

Yep its Mk III time and I figured I would start off with a new army.  I've always wanted to play Khador, my first army  in Mk 1 was the old version of this starter set.  I just didn't have anyone to play against so it got sold long ago.

Texas Toy Soldier is starting a Journeyman League on the 11th of July so I thought I would jump on that.  Between this starter box, and being able to pick up a copy of the Khador vs Menoth starter box at around 50% off I've got a good amount of Khador to start with and two casters right out of the gate.

I'll try to post some of the adventures in MK III as I go, since I noticed its been over a year since we've posted here.

Keep your eyes open for more updates.

Gone to the squishy side.

Well not so squishy but more so than jacks.   I've wanted to start a Hordes force for awhile and the upcoming Journeyman League at Texas Toy Solider seemed like a great excuse.  I'm running the alternate starter set of Tyrant Xerxis so been buying stuff individually.  I've got the two basilisks assembled and waiting to prime on the 6th when we can start.  This weekends triumph was a fully magnetized heavy titan kit.  I've set it up to go between a titan cannoneer and a titan gladiator.  Including magnetized tusks and back banner for transport.

Should be fun i'll try to keep this site updated with my progress.

Oh and because I have nothing better to do I've also jumped on another journeyman with my convergence set.

Cast away

Got the new caster finished up. Ill have better photos tomorrow night when I get a studio shot done

Journeyman update

So start of week one

Manticore/Hydra built and magnetized. Everything else but the griffin has been primed.

The griffin will get assembled tonight, though I was really hoping to not have to assemble another ret light jack.

I mean really just how many ball joints can you have?

The Journy Begins

So while at the store today getting my ass handed to me by a foot Menoth army, I was also thrown into the briar patch and convinced to join the unoffical Journyman league starting soon.

The "down side" was I had to buy a new heavy jack and caster.  The Journyman rules lay out the following for a Retribution box set

Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper - WJ: +7
- Chimera - PC: 6
- Griffon - PC: 4
- Manticore - PC: 8

I already had the Chimera but luckily it wasn't painted yet.

 So now I have a Manticore/Hydra fully magged to go between either, a fully built Phoenix.  Caster Kaelyssa, Sylys Wyshnalyrr, twin Arcanists, a soulless escort, and a pair of ghost snipers.  I also have a full set of Invictors coming in the mail.

I'll try to keep a running log of my progress and points here.  Partly to brag and partly to keep track..Ok really to brag.
