Set in stone

Captain Stompypants, Smasher of Hunger. He was going to be a one-off until I read the rules for Cassius the Oathkeeper.

It’s been another long lapse since the last post in this space. So when I received a request on Twitter to come up with a how-to for the sandstone I’m using for my ...

Origin Stories: BobaFerret

Can you guess which one I am?

I should be painting.

That’s not really anything new, and once upon a time, painting was how I spent most of my time. These days, there are a number of distractions — life, work, occasional bloggings — that divert my attention away from what I enjoy doing ...

Fair winds and following seas

I’m not sure what to say about the loss of a friend, an individual who was an enthusiastic volunteer I wanted to emulate when I joined the Press Gang. Or what to say about a man whose joy and passion about Warmachine and Hordes made me happy I accepted the job as Quartermaster.

We shared ...

Peeps vs. pewter

Thanks to April Fool’s Day, Privateer Press introduced a new Hordes faction. In keeping with the spirit of the Uniherd and Rainbo, I proposed that Peeps be included as minions for this finest of new factions. And with a first warlock that looks like this, why not?

Rainbo's feat, Sparklepocalypse, will leave your ...

Painting T-head

I love the Thunderhead.

I have loved that warjack since the first time I saw the artwork and I have loved it every time I put it on the board. (Well, except that one time T-head got pinned for 3 rounds by the (s)Crapjack, but we don’t talk about that.)

This is the second T-head I’ve painted ...

What’s that do?? Trollbloods and Cygnar

As mentioned at Lost Hemisphere, MenothJohn came up with the idea of letting his 6-year-old son pick out an army for him to play. The members of our emailing group grabbed the idea and ran with it like a Dire Troll Mauler running home for dinner.

The idea of having non-gamers pick out an army ...

Lending a hand

A friend posted a link on Facebook late Tuesday night that reminded me why I love the Warmachine/Privateer Press community.

I’ve met several people through the Intarblagnet I consider good friends as a result of Warmachine and Privateer Press — I’ve met some of you in person and still need to meet the rest of you. ...

Against the odds

In his eyes I see the glory of our house reborn. He will carve a path by blade’s edge to our proper destiny. — Consul Caelcyr Nyarr

Do not displease the Dawnlord.

Dawnlord Vyros Nyarr was displeased with his scouts. A small Cryxian force lay in his path, thus slowing his advance. The ...

Shattered Grounds

So I received an email from the LGS owner about April’s releases from Privateer Press. Buried near the end of the newsletter, there was information about the new Warmachine and Hordes league…

The next advancement in WARMACHINE and HORDES leagues is mobilizing for action! The Shattered Grounds league throws players right into the trenches of the ...

Warmachine Mk II cards: What’s in the box?

The big day has arrived: Warmachine faction decks are out! The LGS did a midnight release, so I picked up a Merc deck. Couldn’t help myself today and picked up Cygnar and Protectorate.

If you’re wondering what’s inside, wonder no longer! I’m skipping the casters because if you’re reading this, you should know who these ...
