I had been keen to get a test game in with my 1500 point list I am taking over to England to refresh myself of the army rules and flow and thankfully I was able to do just that down at one of my FLGS's. I matched them up against a very shooty Free People list and proceeded to be taken off pretty quickly, but the game was fun and it did give me the refresher I was needing. I did change a small portion of my list to swap out a unit of Blood Sisters for some Sister of Slaughter to give myself some more options with their 6" pile-in ability.
After I made the final small tweak to my lists I decided to pretty them up to look their best for the event. Pageantry is a part of your overall score so I wanted to make sure I was doing as much as possible to present everything nicely. I am very happy with how it turned out and it didn't take all that long to complete. I want to give Tony who made Warscroll builder a big thanks for including the 'copy' function as part of the incredible tool.
As mentioned above I finish my Aethermyst proper and her Aetherlab this past week as well. I really enjoyed painting up these kitbashed pieces and I have already figured out how to incorporate them as regular models in my force once Realms at War is at an end. The Aethermyst will make a perfect Slaughter Queen and my Aetherlab will count as a Hag Queen on Cauldron and I will be putting a spare Hag Queen model on it here soon. If the mood strikes, I will also use the Aetherlab as a Hydra ally from time to time as well.
Everything is really coming together quickly and I am confident I will be ready for the event without having to rush at the last moment. While there is still twenty-four days until the event I have much less time as I am flying over to England the week prior so everything needs to be ready in the next few weeks, but I am committed to seeing it done! Happy Hobbying!
