Starting Skorne in the Age of Themes, Overview

Hello again.

Way, way back in 2016, I made 3 posts about starting Skorne from the battlegroup box and building up to a 75pt list over the course of a Journeyman League (JML).  That information has changed quite a bit in the last couple of years - we had a faction overhaul and a bunch of themes released.  On top of that, the rules for the JML have been updated.  So this seems like a good time to update my recommendations a little.

Another Upcoming Tournament and More Blogging

There's another local tournament coming up, which I'd really like to attend.  I'll know by Friday whether I can, but in the meantime, I'm thinking about lists.

I want to keep playing Mordikaar, since he's been very solid as well as a lot of fun.  I may try to squeeze in another proper heavy, although I'm not sure where I'll find the points.  I'm also not completely sure which heavy I'd run.  I might be able to find the space for Tiberion.  I love his model, and he's quite solid on the table, but Jeezy Creezy he's a lot of points.  We'll see, I suppose.

For Mordi's partner, I'm very interested in running either the Makeda 1 or the Jalaam 1 lists I was musing about in this post.  If I can't get a little practice in with either of them, I can fall back on my Zaadesh 2 list.  I've already said it's probably the strongest of the bunch, but it would be cool to try something new.

In more certain news, I think I'll be able to keep the blog up regularly going forward.  I'm aiming for 2 posts per week, one Wednesday or Thursday, and another one over the weekend or Monday.  I have a couple of posts planned, and if I'm able to play games over the week, I'll be doing reports as well.

Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions.  I know I have a couple regular readers; what do you want to read about?

State of the Lists - What I'm Thinking and Doing With Skorne

Hello Again!

I can't make any promises that I'll actually start blogging consistently, as I really don't play all that often.  I've played about 6 games this year, including the 3 I played at the tournament in my last post.  That said, I've been thinking about list building a lot lately, and this seems like as good a place as any to try to organize my thoughts.

I'm thinking about lists mainly in terms of themes.  I can play 3 of our themes, because I only own one unit of Immortals and very few minions.  That may change, but until it does, I'll just focus on the themes I can play: Imperial Warhost, Masters of War, and Winds of Death.

Belated June Tournament Report!

Hey everyone!

Almost 2 months ago now, I went to a local tournament.  As usual, I had a great time, and even won a couple games.  Here are the lists I took:
