New Pathfinder and DCM minis

Finally got some of the new Pathfinder and DCM minis and they are great.   Link to all the pics from my birthday/gameday and some pics of just the minis.  Also did a time lapse movie of our gaming sessions.  I've always liked watching stuff at "hyper" speed, still looking for some good software to add audio commentary and a good soundtrack.....

The new DCM tentacle minis and the choker.... and how often do you get to see a nun team up with a Rancor. ;-)

A batch of the new goblins with a few of the other new minis from the set... thought that the HS large green guy looked like a good papa Goblin mini for all the baby goblins.... also my 6 year old daughter absolutely loved the goblins too.

finally got my Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Miniatures

Look pretty good, scale is right compared to other minis - they fit in just fine next to the other recent ddm PC  minis like "Male Human Invoker"(thats the guys in yellow robes below)  See them pictured with many other companies minis for scale.  Plastic seems fine, not as brittle as the clix, but not quite as durable as the ddms...... I wouldn't try running over them, like someone did with a ddm common, but they should be fine for normal play use.

New release, playing with new runes, massive comeback ends in rage quit

3 font map - he had 2 fonts and was pushing in towards me, almost surrendered, but just kept plugging away and deploying runes.... then he transfigured his shrine and rushed in and pushed me back more... then he flew his IE into my font.... so now I had no fonts.... but I kept killing(slowly he had lots of majestic)   finally got his avatar trapped, and on came the rage quit!  He had my shrine down to 31 hp and had killed my ToH.

Quite a match..... it sure takes a long time after a rage quit to time out and surrender.

Wow - and at the end - notice he's one of the top players! he's 2329-1173

ZOMGBIES decide to go manic - 2 rush wins in a row FF FW vs. FF IS

So I guess IS is back, played them a few times lately.....   last 2 games, one last night, one just now, and a recent one I lost to was an IS/xx split:

Game last night was pretty tough - he rushed out with his 8 speed champ and had middle font quick... luckily my lethargic 5 speed champ could just reach it... then i had to just overwhelm him with ZOMGBIES.....

Tonight's game.... his 1st 2 deploys were IS angels, so I just get scrying every turn to get decay.... would have been over sooner, but his 1st Angel intensified before I got it.... Once I did though, it was gg - his Angels heal 8 a turn, and I got it before the 2nd one intesified.... so I killed all his champs in the 2 rounds after decay was cast...

Oh, and the one picture from when I had ST listed as my faction... from my epic win AGAINST ZOMGBIES.  ;-)   that didn't last long... more FW points already.

It really looks like knowing your bg/champs is as important as anything else... I do much better with my FW bgs then I do with all these weird splits I come up with.  ;-)

ya 8 speed v lumbering/lethargic....  oh and I had 0 champs round 1, DG don't count!

Pile on the auras... the clumped auras helped with the killing, but it meant he did a lot of dmg with AOEs

That green stuff actually adds 1 AP to movement...

Actually drove fwd and took his font without losing the middle

And they lived happily ever after.....

Look at me, I'm an ST player!

Come here my little Angel

He clumped his champs to take maximum dmg from auras....

Moragen lost her bg  - thats never good

Time to decay biznitches!

I even warned him that everything was about to die....   but then in stead of surrendering right away, I think he went to get a sandwich or something, as he did nothing for 2 turns... and this is after all his champs died and he said gg

Then he came back from his snack and we chatted a bit, then he finally surrendered with the hoard coming down on him...

Another win vs. an exotic ranked player....

Crazy reverse mirror match ST(yetis) v. FW(ZOMGBIES)

So you all know what a big FW player I am, and how ZOMGBIES are my favorite thing to run.... so imagine my surprise when I get matched up against it, especially since I haven't seen a FF FW in awhile.

I played yetis as a nice break, a quick lame match, and this good long one vs zombies

They are great 1 v 1 with normal champs - they had nothing to do against the SL/UD match I played 1st --- lame 7 min match, he mimic'd my yeti beserker with a DS and it was lol-gg with no spells and nothing that could kill it as it was ice eater and berserker at that point....  they also suck against ravenwraiths....

so onto the better match:

 FYI  - it is hard to control a map full of furbulls & yetis... I left a lot of ap on the map(almost cost me the game).

And i also learned that Carrion Colossus swarm zombies if you have 5 or more zombies out, not Carrionlings  - maybe its time to add one of them to the ZOMGBIES BG....

Although I did accomplish what I wanted with this yeti bg - I'm ready to go back to a  real bg with zombies and counters.....

The lame 1st game... it did start out nice with a 1st draw of totoro - extra funny since we watched the movie totoro earlier today... maybe that was why I had yetis on the brain... also cp'ing the yetis used up the rest of my gold tokens. :-(

Started out good with contesting his font early

right before he equipped an SOD... SODs can be a pain

THis yeti berserker is actually NOT totoro, its the other one

Not actually trying to win just fill up the map with traps and furbulls, or something.... This also makes me want to go back to the 1 champ bg with undead magnus....  I kept running out of time with the champs on the board and forgot to deploy, thats how i piled up so much nora... realized i prolly couldn't kill the raven near my shrine in one round(almost no magic dmg) and just kept blocking it... on the next to last turn it broke thru since i ran out of time and didn't get it blocked --- took my shrine from nearly full to 28 in one turn..... so I had to kill his shrine fast, but it was getting clogged with ZOMGBIES on his end.....

JUst before the transfigure, where will he run too?

Wow - majestic works on avas!  did not know that either....

Oh boy 12 points for the hated protectorate faction... gotta be careful I don't pass my fw points...  j/k at least it wasn't kf... they are the real blight of the poxland
