My friends and I have decided to do start new armies for the new year and do a build up campaign. I have decided to do Warriors of Chaos, Thekeep has decided to do Dwarves, and a third member who we will try to get to join these forums is starting Ogre Kingdoms.
Proposed Build up format:
January: 500pts 2+ Core choices Febuary: +500pts 2+ core, 0-1 Special, 1 hero March: +500pts 2+ core, 0-2 special, 1-3 heroes, 0-1 Rare April: +500pts 2+ core, 0-3 special, 1-3 heores, 1 lord, 0-2 Rares
Thoughts on the build up levels appreciated, we will use this thread to post pictures and updates for all of the armies. And pictures from the battles, hopefully leading to a map campaign or something!

You have to have a hero at least in your first bit, it’s an army requirement to have a general.

I have heard of people keeping core down to make the low points more fun. Only force 1 unit from the core. I would also add a general as early as possible.

The build up steps look good to me. I personally would have a hard time acquiring, building, priming and painting 500 points in a month but that is just me and based on my below average speed at the warhammer hobby.
Many years ago, in 7th edition circa 2009 @therealricksalamone and I were in a build up event at a local game store. For that one the first meeting was 750 points but it was first announced 2 or 3 months ahead of time. Then every month was +250 points until we got to 2,250 points.

I think we all have the models, or at least a good start. This is just motivation for painting really. I think we have decided 500pts each month, normal list building rules. Honestly 500pts isn't alot for the armies we have all picked!

Here’s the beginning Armies: Ogre Kingdoms- Dwarves- Warriors of Chaos- We did some round robin games, so each army played each army. It was fun to have some small tactical games, and figure out our new armies rules and play styles!!

Got everything painted except for my Hero! Obviously this affected my morale as i lost both games by not having a musician and having drawn combat. Need to get her painted up and start figuring what to do for my 1000pt list for next month!
Didn't notice the oddness of the title till now, should say "Slow Grow Campaign" not sure how my phone changed it to Goblinsw! But my phone also wants to turn k into klingon when texting so who knows! Have tried editing it but can't edit titles by the looks of it?

My to hit rolls- seriously how many more one’s could I roll! That's a dangerous question to ask! That drunk dwarf passed out on the ground is golden. Love this shot.

sedge Thanks for the kind words! I have a bunch of the drunk Dwarves I’m going to scatter about in units! ‘Cause who doesn’t drink when going to war!!
