And I gotta say I was pretty impressed, thanks to sanguinary lord and his down to earth demo-ing (how dare you call me a retard tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif ).

I played the Gremlins and they were a cack to play (my big pig died mainly due to my bad shooting), and one of my gremlins took out a Mature Nephilim with exploding rounds which apparently is d**n hard to do.

The game mechanics remind me of Deadlands and LotOW, due to the drawing of cards, and activating reminds me of Warzone and Vor (ie each players models have alternate turns and you get activation points to spend). How each model also has their own cards and special abilities and spells (reminds me of Warmachine and Hordes). And the amount of models on the board reminds me of Mordheim (ie around 10-15 models). So all in all, it was like I was playing most of the games I've played in the past all rolled into one!

So it looks like a pretty neat game with some fantastic models too; if I did come to the tournament sanguinary lord would I be able to borrow your Gremlin models for it? I gotta suck up to the wife first smile.gif

Of course you can my good fellow! Guess that's as good a reason as any to finish the rest of my gremlin crew.

Nice job using Gremlins against Lilith.

The high defence makes shooting a big risk unless you've eaten their control hand...mind you, shooting some of your own guys can help out your hand, too smile.gif

Have you tried a pig heavy list yet?

You can get your pigs charging nice and early by Walking a Mozzie, calling Sooey! and then they'll stampede and sling your first Pigcharge past your Mozzie...just make sure all your pigs are through before you kill it.

Some of the combos you can pull are wonderfully deranged.
