In other news, I actually got my first game of Dragon Rampant in last week. I threw together a 30-point list using my old Age of Sigmar Chaos figures and some Reaper demons I'd painted up:
Rhakosk the Arcane (Light Foot, Spellcaster, Single Model Unit) - 7
Khairic Acolytes (Light Foot, Wizardling) - 5
Chaos Warriors (Elite Foot) - 6
Chaos Warriors (Elite Foot) - 6
Bakarathi Demons (Bellicose Foot, Cause Fear, Reduced Model Unit) - 6
And brought them to Just Games' new location, which had just opened that day - two doors down from the old location and twice the space for gaming. Neil brought his Moonclan Grots (Age of Sigmar's renaming of Night Goblins).
We had a great game, our two armies converging on a plain dotted with ruined buildings. Since we were both playing the game for the first time, we skipped on playing a scenario and just did a straight-up death match. Though his Squig Knights and Fanatics polished off my Khairic Acolytes and I lost a few Chaos Warriors and Bakarathi along the way, ultimately the goblins were reduced to a single unit of archers fleeing for safety.
The towering Bakarathi, armed with an assortment of cruel weapons, bound into a unit of Night Goblins ready to slaughter the little green goons. |
I'm definitely looking forward to playing a scenario next time. This list is going to need some tweaking - I'm going to put the "Undead - No Feelings" special rule on the Bakarathi to keep them from failing courage checks, for example.
