WM MkII: Standards of behaviour

Before I launch into my rant for the day, observe the niftiness of the new format cards for Mk II Warmachine. While I’m saddened that so little of the art is visible on the card – only what’s in that circle o’er there – the overall feel of the card is neat. Very steampunk. That ...

Using your Daughters defensively

NB: This post was originally written prior to the release of MkII rules, and accordingly may not pertain to games not using Warmachine’s MkI variant.

Some time ago I had a thought about using the Daughters as a charge screen to defend the Harbinger, setting them in a loose semicircle around her, with a Devout in ...

WarmaHordes: Subjugation 750

Subjugation 750, by Scott

Hexeris walked into camp frustrated. That silly human had out maneuvered him just as he was going to collect his soul. Not a good end to his mission. He walked into his tent to find none other then Morghul waiting inside, back from his trip to the Skorne capitol in the ...

Menoth’s Least Wanted: Afterthoughts

Well, congratulations.

You made it through the series, as I took what are more often than not considered the worst models in the Protectorate stable, rambled on about them, and then put them to the test.

It’s only fitting that I share with you my afterthoughts, since you stuck with me for the whole thing.

Even if you ...

Menoth’s Least Wanted In Action

(Supercool Repenter art by Florian Stitz)

Alright, I did it. I took the list out to play.

Manning up, I strolled into my FLGS with my Army Transport and camera slung over my arms and scanned for opponents. Jason and Derrick were throwing Feora and Borka at each other. Spud and Hank had Caine and ...

WarmaHordes: Jungle Drums 750

Jungle Drums 750, by Derrick

Thagrosh’s Guts wrenched again, throughout his battle with Rhyas his concentration was sapped. So much so that he was hard pressed to remember why he chased her down. What was he thinking, he  couldn’t think his head throbedb his stomach burned and every joint in his body screamed like a thousand ants ...

Menoth’s Least Wanted: 500pts

You know how much I dislike fielding unpainted models, right? You know how my painting schedule’s booked solid with the WarmaHordes stuff, right? You know that I don’t have a single one of any of the MLW’s painted, right?

Thankfully, I at least have them assembled, so a game can still go ahead… though I ...

WarmaHordes: Borka’s Kegger 750

Borka’s Kegger 750 pts, by Jason

“I told you not to disturb me when I’m hungover!” Borka grunts and then kicks the gobber through the wall back into the common area of the Kriel’s main hall. “Next time I’ll need to bring something to help keep away this pounding in my head.” I’ve got it!” He ...

Menoth’s Least Wanted: The Allegiant

And now we enter a category that will no doubt (hopefully!) spark some debate; Menoth’s least wanted solo.

I’ve heard calls for Gravus, who I’ve seen running around with the Exemplars. I’ve heard calls for the Covenant, which I’ve seen used to good effect many times, though the whole base size issue still boggles my mind ...
