Legion of Everblight - Progress Report #2

Well hello there!  Sorry for the radio silence of late, but shortly after I wrote the last LoE progress report, a job interview cropped up and I am currently waiting to see how much, if any, my life is about to change.  Plus, the Skyrim train finally pulled into my station.  It's certainly not 'Skyrim Widow' bad, but between that, gaming, painting and a general sense of anxiety torpedoing my ability to focus on any one thing, let alone all the thing, it's been a bit hard to blog.

I've still been getting games in with the 'new' system and I've actually managed to win a few games in addition to learning the shit out some stuff.  


I'm still rocking with PLylyth and the Carnivean from ye battle box, but those 4 shredders haven't hit the table in a few weeks.  A single shredder is a great thing as tenacity is rad as heck, but having three more at that small a level... or outside of an eThagrosh list... It feels a whole hell of a lot like pissing up a rope rather than positively contributing towards a win.  Reinforcing this experience is the whole host of roflstomps the battlebox + 2 points lists have received as well as the sage wisdom of the local gaming crowd.

Legion of Everblight - Progress Report #1

Last time around I dipped my toes into the shallow end of a much larger conversation - that being that I have started up HoMachine again.  Since then, I've managed to get a few more games in and I now have more than enough experience to draw any number of serious and ground breaking conclusions about how the MkII rules function as a game.  I will also be proclaiming myself a master of this game followed by a cordial invitation for you all to suck it.

Haha!  I guy can dream, amiright?  Clearly that's all lies. Though you should go back and read the post I linked to - lots of good conversation in the comments and some of it doesn't even involve Frontline Gamer. Hoho!

All sweaty wrestlers and hyperbole for comedic effect aside, I managed to work in a couple more games with Legion battlebox.  Fully painted, no less!  I may not even have my brain completely wrapped around the game's basic rules yet, but I can talk about the learning experience so far.
