Hordes, I Guess...

I've been obsessing about Warmachines and Hordes to a lesser extent because it's a miniature wargame where robots and monsters and crazy steampunk wizards all throw down. I really intended to get into Warmachines slowly and eventually branch out into Hordes when I was ready to start branching out. That was not the case.

First off, let me say that I live in central Arkansas, which means it's a task to even find a local game shop, much less one that isn't just stocked with only what sells(GW all day). I finally made my way down to Little Rock with  visions of poring over all sorts of little plastic robots and picking out one or two very special pieces to try to paint and make look pretty. When I got to the store, I found out that they don't even carry Malifaux, which I was hoping to look at, and they were liquidating all their Warmachine and Hordes stuff. They did just have a tournament last week so I might get to play occasionally... Anyway, I went with a very specific amount of money to spend and I fully intended to purchase at least one plastic robot man. No dice. All they had was a Trollblood and a Circle battle box. The guy offered a 20% discount, though and so it was cheaper than miniature market after shipping and I could have it then and there. I thought Circle would probably be my faction if/when I ever got into Hordes but now I'm into Hordes, I guess.

However, I was going to run Mercenaries in Warmachine because I love a lot of the characters. So, while looking at what I could do with the Circle, I started going over Minions who would work with Kaya. So, keep in mind that this list was put together mostly because I like the characters and I think it will be fun to paint/display and maybe play once every other month.

Here's a total noob list:

System: [b]Hordes[/b]
Faction: [b]Circle Orboros[/b]
Casters: [b]1/1[/b]
Points: [b]15/15[/b]
Kaya the Wildborne [b](*6pts)[/b]
* Argus [b](4pts)[/b]
* Argus [b](4pts)[/b]
* Feral Warpwolf [b](9pts)[/b]
Lanyssa Ryssyll, Nyss Sorceress [b](2pts)[/b]
Saxon Orrik [b](2pts)[/b]


Kaya, the two Argus'(which are two headed dogs named Rex, Fido, Spot and Kujo) and the Warpwolf are all from the battle box. Lanyssa and Saxon are going to be part of a bulk order to Miniature Market and that will be a whole separate report. Based on the sizes, though, I think my crappy old mage knight stuff could serve as decent proxies for pieces I want in the meantime.

On Thursday, I'll talk about how Turning Leaves is going and maybe I'll have that order all set and on it's way to me!
