First Warmachine Tournament: Thoughts

On Saturday, I am hoping to play in my first Warmachine tournament. I don't hold very high expectations about my scoring, but I am looking forward to getting some games against different opponents. Waffling, I came up with four armies I could use.

Then I read that I had to provide 7 points of reinforcements. After playing with my Rhulic army points a little, I could not field enough of them (the numbers didn't line up correctly) So I dropped the Rhulic army from the lot, leaving me with two armies to play. The First is a Legion of Everblight with Vayl and the other is a pirate army with Fiona the Black as the captain. Then, just for fun I created a themed Fiona list. I'm just not sure I have enough pirates to field that one! Unless...

Unless I use some of my Foundry African tribesmen as substitute pirates. They will simply look awesome and who doesn't like the idea of having pirate WITH cannibals. I can just see the combination on the table. Not very PC, but the look on the table... It would look awesome! War paints and all... A death cult with cannibals a match made in big cauldron heaven!

Okay, now I begin work on re-basing some of those boys too add to my pirate horde. Who'd'a'thunk that writing a blog post would give people ideas on how to build their armies?

Do I have enough bases for this?

Legion of Everblight

This army is a generic Legion Army. Though I would like to play something themed, I just don't have the right models to make them work. Maybe I will in the future.
  Vayl, Disciple of Everblight
  Carnivean
  Nephilim Soldier
  Shredder (x3)
  Blighted Nyss Archers (6)
  Blighted Ogrun Warspears (5)
  Spawning Vessel (6)
  Blighted Nyss Shepherd
  The Forsaken
Reinforcements (7 pts)
  Harrier
  Blighted Nyss Shepherd
  Raek

Highborne Commission

Ever since I played with Fiona, I have enjoyed her as a caster. Plus, the idea of running an army of pirates can't be beat. I mean... Pirates! YARRR! Add a caster who is a necromancer and worshiper of death and you have awesome written all through the sky.

Devil To Pay

Same comments as above, but this army is themed to Fiona. An entire army of fanatical death-worshipers ready do die for their priestess... Just awesome!
