Tohaa Journey - Stage 2

I recently took a two-week trip to visit family in Toronto, and while I was there, I stopped by at Meeplemart.  Steve, the owner, is always very friendly and helpful, and I was able to find what I wanted in no time.

I picked up a small armful of Infinity models (including a Metro HMG and the Yaoxie remotes), but I also managed to find a pack of bases for my upcoming Tohaa army.  Most blisters of bases only came with 5-6 bases, which made me a bit hesitant because I don't really want to place an order/visit Toronto every time I need new bases for my army.  The Hitech bases I found, though, came in a pack of ten.



Most of the other bases were also either very generic (jungle, sandstone, etc.) or 40k-themed (skulls skulls skulls!), so I was relieved to find a set of regular "ship floor" set.  Hitech normally makes a lot of 40k-esque stuff, but I was lucky enough to get a hold some more generic bases.  They're of reasonably high-quality, and there were only a few holes here and there where bubbles got into the moulds.  For eleven bucks Canadian, I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

These bases have helped me decide that my Tohaa are going to have a boarding-party feel about them.  I think it makes sense - they're here to fight the Combined Army, so there are going to be a lot of little insertions here and there on just about everyone's vessels.  The dark bases mean that I'm going to want to work with lighter armour, and that's ok with me because I'm starting to really like the idea of a very dark-skinned Tohaa army.

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!

Battle Report - Boudicca, Scourge of Rome VS Manfred Rochdale

Image
Source:  https://grazdgfx.tumblr.com/post/171535938767 Yesterday, one of my playtesters and I met up to play the Black Telephone scenario (core 23). He has been waiting for the Once Forgotten to hit the table, as he's a huge fan of undead factions in other games. I decided to take up the Fair Ones this time, figuring that they would be more than curious to see what messages came through the phones from the other side - whatever the other side is. This time, we tested out adjusted point totals and played a 150 point game. By the end of it, we agreed that 200 point games might be a bit more interesting (more models, more options), but this game was a fun scrap over a few ringing phones.

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror

Image
The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca is another Ravenous Beyond cult model, but unlike the Disciple of Malphas, she is more than able to sneak around on her own and cause damage behind enemy lines. This article will go through what the Devotee is capable of doing now, along with a quick look at a previous version, and how she might benefit your faction in a game of Pendant World .
