Anyway, one of the many projects I have wanted to start has been a Duardin army for Age of Sigmar. I was in Missoula yesterday and picked up an Aether-Khemist from the Kharadon Overlords faction.
I got him painted up over the course of the afternoon. I got to test him out against my wife this afternoon, he did a fair job. His Noxious Aether missle attack is nasty at 3D6 attacks! However, it wasn’t enough. My wife’s High Aelves tabled my army.
So far for my Duardin I have a cannon, and now, an Aether-Khemist. I’m in love with the cannon. I bring a Lord Ordinator to add +1 to it’s hit rolls.
As for how this army progresses, it’ll be slow! Money has been tighter this year but that’s okay!
I look forward to expanding on this faction. Not sure what I’ll add next, thematically I want to mix Kharadon Overlords, Dispossessed, and Ironweld Arsenal.
I know I’ve talked about this several times, but one of the strengths of Age of Sigmar is how creative you can be in building your armies. It feels more organic than 40k army building, IF you’re doing multiple factions. It probably helps that I primarily play open play games. I enjoy having a story behind my armies, and having a reason to fight a particular battle; rather than building a list off of points. Granted, I still enjoy matched play games from time to time.
In closing, it feels good to be blogging again! Hopefully I’ll have more posts coming soon..
Later,
