Decision time!!!

So, the time has come when we must commit to our decisions!  For the  next 12 months we will have to collect the race we have picked today - failing or not we won't be able to give up and sell the lot on Ebay (as Dave mentioned in the opening post!).

After much deliberation and mind changing, I am going for something completely the opposite of my Dark Elves - Ogre Kingdoms.........or are they the opposite?!

After really looking into them, they fit the play-style I have in many of the same ways that Dark Elves do!  They can produce potentially A LOT of ranged firepower; with the inclusion of the Firebelly they can dish out some reasonable magic damage too.  However, what they loose in magical damage to Dark Elves they make up for in spades when it comes to melee!

Fluff wise they, like the Dark Elves, are piratical and hungry for war.  Although their motivation is very different to the Dark Elves, both races also have a wide variety of monsters for use as war beasts!

So the plan, roughly, is to create something of an Ogre gunline!  I think the idea that Ogres like big messy noisy things is about right, so, Leadbelchers will feature heavily.  I also like the idea of giants carrying cannons and just blowing everything in front of them into smithereens before smacking the survivors around the head, with said cannons, very appealing!

The primordial beasties are also very cool!  Combining the two with each other in the form of the Sky-Titan Ironblaster cannon is also brilliant.

Lastly, I think Gnoblars are mint!  I definitely want some just for the prospect of making some mini dioramas amongst the units and to be fair they can hold a table quarter for you and a unit of 40-80 pts could secure you the 100 VP for the quarter at the end of the game whilst looking cool and funny whether they ever see combat or not.... sold to the Ogre on the left missing an eye!!!
