Escalation League: Week 5

Week 5: 1st Meeting at 1500pts

  After concentrating on only Malifaux for the last few weeks, I had to switch gears and get back into a 40K mindset for the Escalation League that TTW has been participating in over the last few months. Being a Holiday Weekend, our turnout was very small. I was the only representative of TableTopWar there that day as Mags & Monster Rain and other things to attend to. I figured it would be a good time to reel in the League Leader (Monster Rain) as he would garner 0pts for this weekend. Overall, only 5 people made it on time with one more showing up a little late. Unfortunately for me, the Imperial Vox Cast's own, Dawson, was among the participants so it wouldn't be all smooth sailing for me up the leaderboard :)

Collodi vs. Marcus Rematch @ 25ss

Mags & I were able to connect after work last week so Marcus could visit the Puppet show once again. We are trying to get in as many games as possible over a short time span so that we can get the rules down and actually play a fast game. As it stands now, we're at about 2-3Hrs for 25ss games. So onto the action...

Scrap Report 3: Collodi v. Marcus @ 25ss

Snake-Eyes and I have really started revving up our Malifaux game play and as a result, we will have not one, but two Malifaux scrap reports this week. This first one is a 25ss game played between myself and Snake-Eyes on his new terrain board from Warzone, which I must say is fantastic for Malifaux.


I should state that while I have found Malifaux a blast to play, I am finding it harder to write reports about due to the interactive game play that is constantly changing the ebb and flow of the game. I am planning on taking a notebook and scribbling a few notes because even with all the photos I take, I can't remember some of the key moments in the game....which also has to do with the fact that I can not even remember all the rules yet.


Okay, on to the scrap report...

State of Magilla's Hobby (Time and Money)

This is not a rant or a tirade; it is a discussion on the state of my hobby and the choices that I am making due to a multitude of factors. The factors range from a new job, family, money, time, and simple good old fun. Like the picture indicates, I have come to one of those forks in life's road and I have had to make a few decisions concerning how I will spend my hobby time and money.


Be Forewarned that there is change ahead...

Green Knights: Overview of Two Games and Some Thoughts

A couple of weekends ago (2?), I had the chance to break out the Green Knights   and get in a few games as the Ringer at the FLGS and their Battleforce Bash. Due to the fact that the store was giving away a lot of prizes and was not charging an entry fee, it was decided that players would need to earn their top four spots and as a result, the "ringer" army played by me was a fully competitive army; one I have and do take to tournaments.
This caused some after game drama, but that is another story for another time. 
As for the games, I had two great games and one was a nail biter until round 5.

Time, Gaming, and Blogging

It seems that Blogger has eaten today's post.
Normally, this would not be a big deal as I would simply hop on the computer and fix the problem.
However, that is no longer an option as my recent graduation with my Master's degree has also netted me a new job that is much more demanding my time. Luckily, we have mobile blogger and smart phones.

Product Review: Fenris Games - Rough Timber Bases

Like most things in my gaming life, I am running behind when it comes to this product review. This unfortunately has become a theme as I transition into my new job and the multitude of responsibilities that it entails. 
Anyways, enough of that and back on topic: which is a product review of Fenris Games resin bases; to be more specific, a review of their Rough Timber Bases.
