Playing Blind; losing a lot, having fun anway!

So one thing I’ve noticed recently is that man, I do not know what about 80% of the models in Warmachine do any more. Let alone Hordes. Let alone updates-comin-atcha-every-6-days-or-so-Field-Test-Hordes…… 

I’ve been playing against a new group of opponents, encountering things I’ve never had to deal with before, and I’m shocked at how much of this game (that I ...

First Mk2 Merc Lists

I’m getting together with some friends tomorrow night to start playing Mark 2 Warmachine.  I’ll be bringing my Mercs, and I’ve put together a couple of lists to try out. One serious, one not so much, and one that I think is just crazy enough to do well.

NorCal Skorne; Zaal & Krea

The color scheme for my Skorne was inspired by the natural color palette of northern California. Specifically, the Redding area. I moved here not too long ago from the east coast, and one of the things that struck me was how very different the colors of nature are here.

Being an avid hiker & outdoorsman, I spend a lot ...

One faction to go…

I recently started playing Trollbloods after discovering that I love me some Hordes. They’re my third faction. The only one I’m missing now is Circle of Orboros. 

I’ve played warmachine and gone through all the factions except Retribution. Other than Mercenaries, none of them really did it for me. I love the merc casters, but for some ...

List Building, Type-Matching, & the Learning Curve

So lately I’ve been playing a lot of pick-up games. A couple of friends of mine have been kind enough to provide a new, much larger gaming space for our local Warmachine crowd to use. Thing is, we never really know who’s going to show up. So, a bunch of us tend to bring minis for ...

Makeda vs. Deneghra @ 350: A Comedy of Errors.

Or, How I Learned to Stop Thinking Either Of Us Could Roll Above a Freakin’ 7 On 3d6.

A friend of mine just picked up a Cryx army; something he’s never played before. So we decided to play a small 350-point game the other night, to give the Cryx a test-drive. Here are the lists we used;

Mk 2 Hordes Test to Coincide with Mk 2 WM Launch = Awesome

I just read about the new release date for the Mk 2 Hordes rules field-test. Now I’m sure most of you already know about this, so this is hardly going to be news.

But, I just want to say that Privateer is awesome for coordinating the release of those rules to coincide with the official Mk 2 ...

Fluff Love & the Surprise Win.

I know dice rolls are governed by probability, and there’s no reason that models we like better should perform better. But is it just my imagination, or is that exactly what happens? When we’re excited about a model, for whatever reason, doesn’t it roll higher? Don’t our opponents roll more snake-eyes against that one model ...
