Da Blakk Fyre Boyz Rise!!!

Oi! Here come Blakk Fyre Boyz ! Da toughest and strongest of all da Ironjawz! WAAAAGH!!!

Over the summer I began to play quite a bit of Age of Sigmar around the metroplex. I began to feel incredibly underwhelmed with my Dark Elves as they have not received the proper "Battletome Treatment". While they perform decently and I definitely managed to pull some wins, it just didn't feel like I was having the same kind of fun most of my opponents were. The Age of Sigmar 'flavor' just wasn't there on my side.

So, I decided to start my own Battletome army. I should also preface that my FLGS shut it's doors for good this summer leaving me storeless. Luckily for me, a new Warhammer store popped up about the same distance from my house as my former FLGS!  Much to my amazement, the Warhammer store has a steadily growing Age of Sigmar community! It seemed like destiny.

So what army do I choose? I struggled with this for a week or so. I had already painted a starter box of Stormcasts and had 2 more starter boxes ready to go. I am also a Greenskin at heart, so the Ironjawz were very appealing. The Fyreslayers were also a very intriguing choice as their uniqueness in comparison to the rest of the factions really stood out to me.  Unfortunately, my new store had a rather solid Order, Chaos, and Death presence, which left the responsibility up to me to embrace my Warhammer roots and start a new Waaaagh!


Thus, Da Blakk Fyre Boyz rise!
