Original Character Aesthetic: Saeryn

“Just because you humans want to forget about what has been done to us for all these decades doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten. The waters of the river may change constantly, but its memory is longer than yours.”

A ruler among her own kind, Saeryn finds herself the only person who cares about the dying mermaids from the Missouri River. Angry and resentful of the Elves who won’t move from their palaces and help the police, she determines to find someone who will help. So she comes to Kallie Nikas and demands that the human magus not only help her to solve these killings, but to stop the person committing these crimes.

Now they just have to be successful.

Prior to The Fairytale Open 2013

So, tomorrow's the day, first every Fairytale Open. It is a Swedish WarmaHordes tournament. Rules are as I understand it pretty much just SR2013. 1-2 lists, with painting as a requirement. For this tournament (as you might know by now) I decided to paint up two Legion of Everblight Lists that I had to some degree started with.

My first list is the following Rhyas Tier 2 List:

6 / 56 (50+6) Warlock(s) : 1/1 Warbeast(s) : 2 Battle Engines : 0 Solos : 1 Units : 4 Rhyas, Sigil of Everblight - WB: +6 - Succubus - Scythean - PC: 9 - Nephilim Soldier - PC: 5 Blighted Nyss Shepherd - PC: 1 Blighted Nyss Swordsmen - Leader & 9 Grunts: 8 - Blighted Nyss Swordsman Abbot & Champion - Blighted Nyss Swordsman Abbot & Champion 3 Blighted Nyss Swordsmen - Leader & 9 Grunts: 8 - Blighted Nyss Swordsman Abbot & Champion - Blighted Nyss Swordsman Abbot & Champion 3 (becomes free due to Tier Bonus) Blighted Ogrun Warspears - Leader & 4 Grunts: 8 - Warspear Chieftan - PC: 2 Blighted Ogrun Warspears - Leader & 4 Grunts: 8 - Warspear Chieftan - PC: 2 TIER 1 ---Requirements--- The army can include only the models listed above. ---Benefits--- Models/units gain Stealth during the first round of the game. Additionally, the Fa of Blighted Ogrun War Chief solos increases by +1 for every ogrun unit included. TIER 2 ---Requirements--- The army includes one or more Blighted Nyss Swordsmen units. ---Benefits--- Add one Blighted Nyss Swordsmen unit attachment to the army free of cost. This attachment does not count toward FA restrictions.

The second of my lists had to be the other twin, Saeryn (both because they are twins and also because since Rhyas is considered the games WORST warnoun, I had to have someone that people believe can be a real pain in the behind (or problem?). I went with the following list since I didn't really want to get any more Angelii:

55 / 55 (50+5) Warlock(s) : 1/1 Warbeast(s) : 6 Battle Engines : 0 Solos : 2 Units : 1 Saeryn, Omen of Everblight - WB: +5 - Angelius - PC: 9 - Carnivean - PC: 11 - Ravagore - PC: 10 - Scythean - PC: 9 - Shredder - PC: 2 - Naga Nightlurker - PC: 5 Blighted Nyss Shepherd - PC: 1 The Forsaken - PC: 2 Blighted Nyss Grotesques - Leader & 9 Grunts: 6

All in all, this should be a fun tournament. As I recall there's around 20 participants registered, so with some luck I should have a 6 fun games, some if not most against players and/or Warnouns I've never played against before (which I admit can be a bad thing...).

Here's a picture of the entire two lists combined, also sorry for the bad pictures - I really need to buy myself a decent camera or mobile worth taking pictures with.

This is from a while back! Saeryn, one half of the ninja twins of Everblight. Icey dragon-elves ftw :)

TWO NEW WARLOCKS

It's been a real challenge lately playing against Menoth. My friend Russell has a very solid tactic that involves using the Bastions, which can transfer damage around to each other (so it's extremely difficult to kill them off one at a time, it's all or nothing) and the Harbinger, who can use Martyrdom on them to keep them alive (basically when one of them dies, she can keep it just barely alive and she suffers d3 damage). Ever since he's gotten his second full bastion unit, I have gotten plowed over time and time again. Absylonia was not cutting it against this particular army, so I went out and I got my hands on Thagrosh.

Thagrosh is a really cool model, he's got a great sculpt and his character has a cool back story (basically he's an ogre with the stone heart of an evil dragon, spreading the dragon's blight throughout the land). He's got some pretty cool spells; he can have his warriors do more damage, he can give his guys concealment, he can create a huge blast, and his feat allows him to bring back a beast from the dead with full health. Overall, a very cool guy. I'd say he's a strong warlock to bring into small point battles, because if you're playing a 35 point game and you lose your 12-point Typhon, then you can just bring him back, and it's almost like you're playing with 47 points instead. The only problem is that Thagrosh has no real way of dealing with this Menoth army that I've been going up against, especially because the Harbinger's feat deals a bunch of damage to anyone who moves towards her for one round-- it can EASILY take out a whole unit of infantry and turns the tables putting him in charge of the game.

I recently tried out Saeryn. Saeryn is a cool ninja sorceress (with a twin sister who's even more of a ninja). Saeryn has turned out to be unbelievably powerful against this Menoth army. Her feat basically makes it so that none of my guys can be targeted by melee attacks for one round. This is incredible because 95% of Russell's attacks are melee. At the very least, it gives me the chance to retake the advantage if he has just popped his feat.

With her feat in combination with some great spells, Saeryn has proved to be a great match against the Harbinger and her bastions, especially because she can prevent the Harbinger from healing the bastions and keeping them alive.

I'll post pictures of both my Thagrosh and Saeryn models in the coming weeks. Currently Thagrosh is half-painted, and he's looking suh-weet!
