A Burning Controversy – Bastions v Cinerators v TFG

Before I move on to playing either Circle, Retribution, or Searforge (can’t make up my mind!), I think it is fitting I address one of the burning controversies within the Menoth community.  That controversy is “Who do you take for 8 pts?”  It’s a very valid question.  Cinerators are not yet released, but we have ...

The Road Home From TempleCon – People I Met

One of the big reasons I wanted to go to TempleCon was to scratch the curiosity itch I had going for the Warmachine community.  I listen to lots of podcasts:  Fell Calls (when it was around), Iron Agenda, D6 Generation, GutsNGears, Boosted Damage, etc…and I knew that some of those folks would be at TempleCon.  ...

Templecon Ho! – Locked and Loaded

The pressures of life have kept me from writing for my favorite blog in the whole wide world.  Did you hear that Matt Drudge?  Take that!

I am no major painter.  I love this hobby for the painting and the game.  The modeling is sorta secondary for me…unless I get inspired to do a conversion.  To that end, here is the biggest conversion I have attempted to date.  The inspiration was that a Dervish (the hardest working light in MkII) had ...

TempleCon Ho! – Playtest for State of the Art

When I wrote my latest post, about my panic around my list making for TempleCon, I had NO idea I would strike such a chord.  I have never written a post for Lost Hemisphere or for my old blog Getting Small that got such a response.  I must admit that I was pretty freaked out ...

Panic and the Coming of TempleCon

The real inspiration that led to the name of my original blog.
