Finally I got a game of 8th in!

Sorry for the long lack of updates, but my wife and I had a beautiful baby girl about 2 months ago and my gaming and painting has taken a hit.

I was able to sneak out of the house and play a game with my Ogres vs a friends O&G army. My camera's battery died so I wasn't able to get any pics of the game, but I did learn a lot.

Not to rehash others thoughts on 8th, but this is what I came away with:

-Level 4's do a great job at not only casting, but dispelling as well.
-6 Ironguts with a tyrant and slaughtermaster in a 4x2 block buffed up (+2T,Regen,stubborn)can take some hits and then dish a tremendous amount of pain.
-I need to make markers to remind myself what each terrain piece does. I like the terrain rules and TLOS wasn't as bad as I thought.
-Everyone talks about magic, but when you roll 3 PD a turn, magic can be nonexistent in some turns.
-Moving and pre-measuring is vastly improved. It is fast, easy, and straightforward.
-Blocks of 25 orcs are too small.

It was a fun day, I hope to write more soon. I need to update this blog with pics of my Greatswords!
