A. Introduce yourself and how you came to play Chronopia (in various incarnations)
Hi, I started collecting Chronopia just about 2 months ago. I extremely love fantasy world and miniatures wargaming. After years to find out which is my best bet, I choose Chronopia as my main miniatures game. I like the background and figures of Chronopia. Although Firstborn is always my favourite faction but this time I want to try a more brutal army, so I play Blackblood. Since I am still a newbie to this game and I am not a good strategist, so please forgive me if you find my battle force is not well constructed.

B. Present your army list
Army: The Firstblood (Total 17 figures, 798pts)
Individual:
1 Ogre Myrmadon Bull Cavalry
1 Orc Alchemists
1 Troll

CC Warband:
2 Ogre Heavy Infantry, Leader
4 Orc Swordsmen, Greatswordsman, Leader

Missile Weapon Warband:
4 Orc Assault Warrior, Leader

C. Describe your army and why you chose that particular faction.
I like the big one, so I drop Goblins from my Blackblood force. I want more activation and more different type of figures in my battle force, so I field each warband with the minimal number of members if I can. Because this is my first time joining a painting contest, I choose a lot of high point costs model such as Ogre and Troll. This will make my force fewer models to paint.

D. Write the fluff surrounding your army
A very strong Ogre riding on Mymadon leading his soldier to raid the nearby Firstborn’s village.
He raises his long spear and shouts, "Kill them all!"

E. Describe - if possible, roughly where you got your minis and approx. cost
I got this mini from online store around US$65. Except this Blackblood warband, I have bought some Firstborn, Dwarves and Elves. Sons of Kronos, Devout and Stygian will be my next purchase.
