So to make fixing up my house go in a timely manner, I devised a point system of how much each task was worth. Crawl in the attic feeding wire and connecting ceiling fans... 3 points. Clean up and connect all of the electronics in man Island now that I have the new glorious 47 inch TV, just one point. This whole thing was also done so I'd pace myself on buying things I lust after, certain things I wanted had a point value.
Anyway, I've been hard at work almost every night this week, with my father no less and I love the man, I really do and I appreciate everything he's done not just with the new house but in general but we have differing styles. He ponders for a long while, ponders some more and I just want to get sh$t done. So working in close quarters has probably been somewhat of a study in patience on both our parts.
Back to the story, I've been busting hump, racked up a bunch of points. I was all set to get another Warmachine starter when I just happened to linger on the Hordes section of the Privateer Press site. I liked the looks of two factions, read a very in depth review from TGN . I liked that for the most part the only difference between the two games was the warcasters weren't as powerful and the action in hordes is more aggressive. So I spent my "points" and bought the Trollblood warpack which I'll throw a picture in from the PP website below. I went to Superhero gameland, which right now is kicking CCG Armory's butt by a few $$ in price and ordered the warpack AND because I want to try and paint the traditional colors plus I'm curious about the new paint line. I bought the corresponding Formula P3 paint. The warpack was less than $32 and the paint another $12-$13. Once again let me state that I would love to support my local store but they want as much as it cost me for just the warpack as the warpack, paint and shipping cost me at Superhero Gameland. If you really want to sell, discount the starters a little so we don't feel like we're getting ripped off getting into a new game.
We'll see how Hordes goes. I now have to convince one friend to buy a starter pack of Hordes (Sarge?? Nat X, JayJian??) so we can play. Otherwise I'll have to break these out on JayJian's WM army. I think my already overflowing workbench just got a new group which is now being pushed straight to the top. Fall and Winter are coming and that's when I actually play with my miniatures.
Here's a picture of the Trollblood warpack. Incidentally this did win Miniatures game of the year at Gencon.
