A while back I traded some old 3rd ed Rhinos for a Battle Box of Legion of Everblight, the Card Deck and a couple other models. They've been sitting in the closet for a couple months and then last night I made plans to learn to play the game and try it out.
Let me start by saying, I really enjoyed it. While it was quite funny looking down at the table and seeing only 6 models in front of me, it was funnier seeing my friend there with 3. But it was a starter game and we were learning at the basic points level.
I was surprised by how much went into such a small game, the damage charts for Warbeasts was very interesting and having to do all your actions with each character at a time took a little getting used to. I won the first game against Circle, but I did have 3 other friends helping me out, laughing if I was on my way to make a horrible mistake.
The second game I played against a Warmachine army to see what the difference in play was. I couldn't tell much other then they shell out their Focus points in the beginning which seems like a little bit of a pain, but that's their problem. I ended up losing because I can't read cards, and was one shotted to the head, woops.
The third and last game, I was actually getting pretty comfortable with the game, and other then the odd rules question here and there I played on my own against my friend's Circle army again and was able to eat his Warbeasts one at a time and take down his Warlock.
Through out all of this I found my self really enjoying and wanting to play the game more. I even ended up buying some nice hard card sleeves for my cards and Seraph. I also ordered a couple more cards for the minis I already have that are missing there.
Tonight I'll start building my Battle Box, so it's not in pieces when I play again, and you can look forward to my progress on that.
