The Store Wars tournament circuit is continuing in Southern Ontario this winter
I wasn’t able to make it to the tournament this weekend but I asked Marc to video tape some games for me. Continue reading
So on the eve of Christmas, a fat jolly ol man brought me a gift. The gift of bronzeback! Now replace fat jolly ol man with skinny grumpy ol Marc and we got ourselves the beginning of a good story!
This being my third Bronzeback, I figured I’d do something cool with him. My fist idea was a kick punching pose Bronzeback with the tusks coming out of the knees. After a few weeks of mulling it over, I finally decided on a flying Bronzeback cuz why not?
Last Sunday (Feb 8) Marc held a small 35pt Steamroller in our local game store in London, The Game Chamber.
Much to my chagrin (I hate 35pt games) I attended and also took some footage of the some of the match ups at the event.
Round 1 Legion (pThagrosh) Vs Khador (pSorcha)
Round 3 Skorne (eMorgul) Vs Retribution (eVyros)
Last weekend Marc and I made our way down to Black Knight Games in Hamilton, ON for the second event in the 2015 Store Wars circuit.
We both had a great day of gaming Marc went 2-2 and I went 3-1. While we were there I also recorded one game from each round of the event to share with our viewers.
They cut the tournament off at 4 rounds, at which point there were still 3 player who were 4-0.
All in all it was a great day of games. Can’t wait for the next one.
Round 1 – Cygnar(Haley2) Vs. Circle(Kreuger2)
Round 2 – Trollbloods(Doomshaper2) Vs. Skorne(Xerxis1)
Round 3 – Legion(Lylyth2) Vs. Cygnar(Haley2)
Round 4 – Legion(Lylyth2) Vs. Khador(Butcher1)
So when Aaron saw me pull out the new mammoth I got a couple months ago he said “I must paint that” as he drooled. He finally surprised me with this this week after not seeing it for a while:
A few more pictures after the cut!

Alright, so I finally picked tibbers back up and decided to finish his flames. I might do some touch ups on the arm later when I get the model painted. I’ll get Aaron to take better pictures soon because apparently my iphone doesn’t like fire colors 😛
So since – I don’t know… the spring? – I’ve been working on the Skorne colossal, the Mammoth. If any of you out there are considering playing or already play Skorne and have thoughts of picking up the Mammoth, may I suggest these very simple steps for painting it: 1) immediately regret it. 2) cry. 3) more regret. It’s not that the model is bad or poorly sculpted, in this particular instance I offered to paint the model; one which I could not actually play as it’s a different faction. The owner of said Mammoth, the infamous Kassem, even offered to pay for the paint which I would use but I refused; a decision I would later realise was the only thing that would have kept me in the green.
I liken painting the Mammoth to offering to take a cursed monkey’s hand off a friend: they would obviously agree but when they try to explain the curse, you dismiss them waving your hand saying, “Yeah, yeah, yeah I know what a cursed monkey’s hand is.” But oh no. No you don’t. Not yet.
This week I matched up my budding Legion horde against Kassem’s Skorne.
(Marc: Apologies again for the holiday yesterday resulting in the podcast releasing today instead of on Monday! Plenty of content coming out soon to compensate, as our way of saying “Thanks for listening”, and because we love doin’ this stuff!)

Footage of the games from Marc’s tournament at the Game Chamber have been edited and are now available on YouTube.
We only got footage of Rounds 1 to 3 due to finite capacity memory cards. So no finals table. I hope you enjoy the rest of the games and remember to Subscribe to our YouTube channel for our upcoming Video Battle Reports and more Tournament Coverage.
Round 1 – Convergence Vs. Menoth
Round 2 – Mercenaries Vs. Trollbloods
Round 3 – Cryx Vs. Skorne
Check them out and gives us some feedback on what you’d like to see in our Video Battle Reports.
This week I was matched up against Kassem and his Skorne Army. I am still getting my feet wet with Mercs and Kassem is usually trying weird stuff so this should be a good battle.
Can the Mercenary Freedom fighters of Aslynn D’lyse be victorious against the sadistic hordes of Skorne? Stay tuned!
