[Lost Hemisphere Challenge 2013] Still kicking

Image
Hmmm, when did I last do an update on this challenge *looks at date on previous post* - April! Sheesh. So much for my 'monthly update plan' that I had at the start of this! I'm going to play the 'real-life' card here. Although I've got a reasonable amount done since my last update, August was pretty much a washout with flathunting for my new job. Then I had to start said job, move (twice), attend a conference, defend my PhD thesis, and deal with some personal issues in September and the start of October. I'm only just resettling into some vague resemblance of a routine, and my new flat is finally looking like someone lives there rather than a squatter's residence! So I haven't forgotten about Venethrax and his dragon slaying posse. Before the upheaval I got the Mechanithrall unit quite far along, and the Lich Lord himself isn't looking too bad either.

[Lost Hemisphere Challenge 2013] Initial lists

It's time for part 3 of the post series chronicling my (possibly misguided) attempt at Lost Hemisphere's Most Epic Unloved Model Challenge 2013. My introduction post can be found here , and some musing on Venethrax and the options available to me can be found here . For this post I'm going to take a look at the lists that I've come up with. These are my initial ideas, and will probably change after some play experience, but in the end my options are limited somewhat by the restrictions of the theme force.

[Lost Hemisphere Challenge 2013] Thoughts on Venethrax and his theme force

Image
It’s time for the next instalment of my Lost Hemisphere Challenge, and since this is going to be year-long series of posts I’ve decided to create new heading. It’s been a couple of weeks since I signed up to the challenge, and it may seem as though I’ve been slacking off. I’ve actually been rather busy doing some background research. I read Lamoron’s blog posts chronicling his experiement with Venethrax over at “The Overseer”, I read GentleBen’s post at “Bell of Lost Souls”, I watched several YouTube video battlereports featuring Venethrax, mostly from bitzandpiecesNL , and I re-listened to the Chain Attack podcast of Venethrax vs. Reznik . Today I want to share some of my thoughts and conclusions based on that research.
