Battle Report: Epic Thagrosh vs. Epic Baldur

Hey guys, once again my local PG included me in a battle report he did for our store's blog. You can find it at http://www.thediceabide.com/2012/10/hordes-battle-report-ebaldur-vs-ethagrosh-35-pts/. It was a really tight match, and though I'm going to try to avoid spoiling the ending, let me just say that Ghetorix is really tough under Epic Baldur!

New Addition?

I've been working on a project for the last week or so, and I'm excited to finally unveil it. Please meet the newest member of my Legion, the Ravagore!


You may have noticed from the pose or the pictures, but this guy is actually converted from my Carnivean: I removed the head and added a magnet so I could swap between the two heavies. Here's a closeup of the head portion, as well as a view when its detached:

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out: because the head is mostly hollow, its pretty tough to see the magnets when this guy is on the table. I'll probably add a little green stuff to help conceal it more. The only downside is the Carnivean head isn't hollow, and the magnets can be seen pretty clearly. I'm of two minds as to what to do about it. The first thought I had was to create an indent in the Carnivean head, but I'm not sure what tool I'd use for that. My second though was to get a pinning set and put a pin into the neck, but leave it open on the other side to attach whichever head I want. The upside is I know how I would do it, but I'm not sure there is enough of the Ravagore head to drill into. For now I'm going to wait and ask some of the guys at my LGS; hopefully they'll have some suggestions.

In the meantime, I'm really excited to get the Ravagore on the table. I've got a few list ideas that I want to try out, so look for a battle report next week including my "new" heavy!
