War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll.

Round We Go

So when it comes down to what is on my tabletop right now, I have been making a lot of progress. I decided that despite the 'bases don't matter' bit in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, I wanted to be an over achiever. I decided to move my elves to round bases. This is an army I have been slowly collecting. It all started oddly enough with a friend I was trying to get into the hobby. He started buying High Elves on eBay, and before long had more models than anyone would want to paint. Flash forward a little bit and he had given up. He said, "Do whatever you want with this stuff, I am not going to get around to doing anything with it." I posted most of it for sale on eBay and gave him the money from the auctions. I did end up keeping the Silver Helms, but that wasn't by design, more of less I was just tired of posting auctions. Then I met a guy a little further south in North Carolina who offered his services as a painter. The price was just too good to p

Blind Painter

So I sat down and started working on the small unit of chaos space marine possessed I need to finish for my Khorne Daemonkin army. What I immediately realized is that when I am wearing glasses it is so much easier. I had some very cheap reading glasses I picked up and things are so much clearer. I have been trying to only paint in the morning because the light in my house was better. But damn- I could see everything. I could see the brush, the details on the models. For years now I hadn't realized my vision has been declining. It was like night and day. Like my technique is a lot better than I thought. They are coming right along. The only thing and I noticed this while only after working 15-20 minutes these cheap glasses produce way to much eye strain. While I was concentrating on what I was doing things got blurry quickly. I can put them on and focus initially, but they are not going to be good enough to use on a long term basis. Might need to make my first trip ever
