Considering Trolls

Trolls are my favorite models in the game. I love the look of them: big, misshapen dudes in heavy armor wielding giant axes and stone hammers. When I first got into Warmachine, I saw the Trolls and was instantly attracted, especially to the Dire Troll Mauler. I picked up a few models but did nothing with them and eventually got rid of them. Recently I purchased a few of my favorite Troll models and painted a few of them up. At first, I had no intention of playing Trolls, just collecting the models I liked. But I have been giving it some thought and I am considering playing Hoarluk Doomshaper and his Runes of War tier.  The runeshapers are the COOLEST models ever and with this list, I get to have 4 units of them.

If I actually purchase the miniatures, this will be my FUN list, something I play to take a break from Skorne.

Path of Devastation League - Season 2: Broken Roads

I am participating in Season 2 of the league. This time, the character is an extoller soulward. Shouldn't be a problem fitting her into lists, I use at least one all the time.

Game 1: eHexeris vs. Jagga Jagga, 50pts
I lost the game on scenario, but I earned 6 xp, enough to purchase the Shroud of Sand upgrade giving the extoller +2 DEF.

Game 2: Mordikaar vs. Butcher3, 50pts
I used my standard Mordikaar list vs. Butcher3, so yeah, I lost.
Earned 5 xp.

Game 3: pMakeda vs. Moshar, 50pts
This was one of my more interesting games. I wanted to have some fun so I brought along the mammoth for shits and gigs. I ground his army down pretty good, in the end he conceded after a failed assassination attempt.
Earned 6 xp and purchased an upgrade which gives the extoller eyeless sight and far strike. Can't wait to use that!

Game 4: Naaresh vs. Moshar, 50pts
First time playing Naaresh. He's a bit jankey with his ability to take damage to boost his STR and ARM and then heal himself. He was fun to play, I took a beast heavy list, some Nihilators and alot of beasthandlers. I whittled Moshar's army down pretty good, he conceded.
Earned 4 xp for the league.

Game 5: Zaal vs. Harbinger, 50pts.
I played my standard Tier 4 Zaal list because I thought I was going to play against Cryx. I got to the store and played Menoth instead. I had lots of infantry, my movement was hindered on turn 2 due to Harbinger's feat. I really thought I was going to lose this one, he was up in points by 3. Last turn of the game, I feated, cast last stand on the Kovaas, had the Kovaas charge the Harbinger, killed her.
Earned 6 xp.
