GO BIG: Those Beastly Minions

gdaybloke — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:00:22 +0000

One of the coolest things to come out of Metamorphosis, as far as this little Lost Duck is concerned, is the minion warlocks. I don’t care what faction you’re fielding, the very idea of throwing a giant gator, bear, snake or boar on the board is amusing as something very amusing indeed. Each one of them is [...]

I ask all the Menite players out there: How many of us started this faction because of one specific model? How many of us were deciding between two, maybe three factions, and then cast our gaze upon a single amazing sculpt, a lass who appeared to be floating, tethered down by three acolytes?

Warmachine Campaign Rules using Warhammer Mighty Empires

I like ice and water themes, I loved the idea of eschewing the lighter warjacks in favour of more big smashy stuff, and some of the models were just amazing. The Berserker is still one of my favourite warjack models to [...]

Project Echidna

Some time ago, BobaFerret began undertaking little… projects… and giving them goofy names so as to obscure their true nature from their intended recipients.

Scratch Built 3D Printer Typhon

Jme — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:57:09 +0000

Browsing around the Privateer Press Forums I came across something totally amazing. The mastermind behind this massive amazing model is the member typhus22. He had used a 3d modeling program in conjunction with a 3d printer to create a conversion for his favourite Legion beast, Typhon. Just so you have something to compare it to, here's the original.

What’s That Do?? – Menites & Iosans

gdaybloke — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:00:37 +0000

Forgive me, I’m a fan of quirk and whimsy. This all started earlier in the week when MenothJohn mentioned letting his six yr old son choose the models he’d use in his next game. After a round of “Awwww”’s and “Isn’t that sweet”’s, we got to pondering. We all get some pretty odd looks from our non-gaming [...]

When Gdaybloke asked me to be a part of Go Big or Go Home Week, I wasn’t sure what I would write on. Big Boys like the Avatar had been built long ago, and in my newer factions, I had painted most of my character stuff. There was one tasty prize on the table that [...]

Hordes MK2 Fieldtest – Trollblood 35pt Battle Report 14 – Borka Kegslayer vs. Ashlynn

Jme — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:41:00 +0000

There's something I've been seeing alot these days at my LGS, a resurgence in the love for a certain Mercenary Warcaster - Ashlynn d'Elyse. Most of them follow the rules for the Highborn Covenant with her at the Helm with some Cygnarian infantry backing her up. I can't say I blame most people for using a list like this, if you're a Cygnar player and have the models anyway it makes good financial sense to me! With the simple addition of Ashlynn and a few Mercenary Warjacks suddenly your theme is totally changed, instead of fighting for the swan you're raising the banner of the resistance!

Chatting with a few people recently, and hearing the natterings on THAC0 regarding the difficulty of choosing a colour scheme for Retribution models, has reminded me of how irksome it can be choosing a colour scheme to dedicate yourself to when you first start an army. You want so badly to paint and play, but [...]

I'm Ill... This time every year pretty much I end up with tinnitus, and a throat infection grumble grumble. It does give me time to paint though, behold the fruits of my labours.Also on the work bench at the moment are Eiryss and the first of a pair o...

CYGNARAN TACTICA: NEMO

Quixotic — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:47:51 +0000

Again, I bring to you an article written by Mutton from the Cygnar Faction Community on the Privateer Press Forums. He’s helping to rewrite and redesign Boot Camp MKII. I asked him which write up to include next, and he suggested this one about Nemo. Disclaimer: I don’t call Nemo by the term pNemo. In my [...]

Blog, take II

Koldunlord — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:10:19 +0000

This is my second attempt at a blog. After some issues with me not performing regular backups and the consequences thereof, I have recreated the structure of my blog, but the content is lost in the void. I’ll be trying to recreate the content and post progress on my Khador and Vampire Counts armies.

The Next Heavyweight Champion of the World

Thundernuts — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:10:47 +0000

If privateer mentions the word pugilist one more time when describing this model, I'm going to flip out. Oh crap....I just mentioned it.....Anger....Rising!!!!

Darius vs Feora2 – 15 Points and Escalating

bluecardinal — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:28:00 +0000

This past Tuesday night, Barrett and I sat down for our first game in our Escalation campaign. Both of us are using new casters and during the course of the game, it was abundantly clear. But that's the whole point of it, to familiarize ourselves with ...

Combined Arms – A Retribution Battle Report

MenothJohn — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:00:16 +0000

From the diaries of Eiryss… “It seems like ages since I have smelled the lush forests and the clean air of my native Ios. My Goddess is dying. Slowly. Quietly. Alone. I have given my life so that she, and others, of my kind can live. I have suffered ignominy of all kinds. Hooker they call [...]

Lending a hand

bobaferret — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:03:40 +0000

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. [...]

5 Games In One Weekend

Scott — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:46:00 +0000

Nothing stacks up the fun like a spontaneous visit from a good friend and a full weekend of Warmachine. My buddy Mike came down and brought his Retribution and we managed to get in 5 games! Clearly I'm not going to do a battle report for each, but I'll...

Pain(t)…

Malarowski — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:31:48 +0000

I love painting, I do, but getting an army done seems like a task impossible to me. This started back in the days when I started to play wargames and continues to the present day. I enjoy to sit down and paint, but I am so slow to finish anything that it takes forever for [...]

Here’s the box, and here’s Richard

gdaybloke — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:00:44 +0000

Just a short one today, but I felt this was noteworthy. Richard, you see, is not inside the box. He thinks outside of it. When the Retribution of Scyrah were first released, the first warcaster we were given was Vyros. Oh, we loved him… and then we met Kaelyssa who hands out Phantom Hunter, Garryth the [...]

My New Writing Journal – “Insert Clever Title Here”

Clayton — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:18:06 +0000

So I am posting this on the IABN even though it has nothing to do with Warmahordes. I figured I might as well get some exposure and perhaps some of you will share this interest with me along with the mutual Warmachine/Hordes interest. That interest is writing. I posted earlier today about [...]

Ancient Ruins Terrain for Warmachine

Gareson — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:46:00 +0000

I have decided to post some video and pics of my Ancient Ruins terrain usable in Warmachine games. The design concept was to create a set of pieces that could be reconfigured in multiple ways to create original battlefields each time. The narrative i...

Stepping up to the plate

gdaybloke — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:00:04 +0000

You may have noticed a proliferation of posts from my contributors recently. Frankly, it’s awesome, and I really appreciate the lads pitching in for me right now – big things are in the works for the coming months that are requiring a lot of my attention, and things at work (Gah! Real Life!) have kicked [...]

Grim Angus vs Mohsar

TheGreatBlah — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:03:00 +0000

Grim had grown fond of the Earthborn he had named Cannonball. Though most of the Dires that Hoarluk had brought were somewhat unpredictable and hard to control, Cannonball seemed to be more intelligent and intuitive than normal. He hoped Ca...

Well, my first tournament in two years was an absolute blast. In total they were sixteen players that should up to play with people coming from Richmond, Woodbridge, and the SoMD Baythralls. We followed all the Resurgence rules and played 25, 35, and 5...

Steal Your Bones

iavian — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:00:15 +0000

“Steam Powered Robo-Zombies” was the exact phrase that made me look at Cryx and decide to pick up some models. There was never any doubt that I was going to buy a unit of Mechanithralls right at the start. Then I saw the Necrosurgeon, and decided a lot of fun could be had with a [...]

The New Invasion

Necronomitron — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 03:35:43 +0000

There’s been a few changes at Invasion: IK. I switched hosting and am trying to get comfortable in my new blogspace. I picked up the suggested equivalent models for a Retribution battlebox (more about that later). But more importantly it looks as though we have added someone to the ranks of Warmachine! Back when the local [...]

Starting Hordes

EclecticGamer — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:57:00 +0000

I’ve been playing Cryx for a year and a half or so and I still love them, but after TempleCon, I’m looking to be a little more relaxed in my gaming before the New England Team Tournament. I told myself I would become really familiar with MkII Cryx, choose 2 complimentary casters and playtest [...]

Warmachine Resurgence: Garryth’s Turn

ultimatelegion — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:00:59 +0000

Today marks the first official PP event at our FLGS run by our brand new PG_Moonova. It is the Warmachine MKII release event and the format demands 3 escalating lists. The points we used today were 25, 35 then 50 points, with the contents of the previous list staying in the next list. The choice for [...]

Daggerty — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:14:45 +0000

I am trying something different. Kind of following the example of Clayton and Tinman-XL. That means I have attempted to video myself. EEEEEKKKK! I have to admit that I liked it. It seemed easier to get my thoughts out. I think I would like to film some cool stuff like changing the Pikes on IFP’s [...]

Tournament Time = Tournament Tray

bluecardinal — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 04:12:00 +0000

Here's a couple of pictures of a miniatures tray I made for the Resurgence tourney tomorrow. I figured it would be a pain to transport all the infantry I have so this should make it a lot better. Enjoy.

cloudfang — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:22:36 +0000

Ok, so me and thundernuts have been up to no good lately. And the dastardly plan is to make some really mean battle reports. So with a little bit of trial and error we have come up with a format… Now before you go telling me how much this video is lame and sucks let [...]

Protectorate!? yup.

cloudfang — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:39:49 +0000

In all honesty i just got sick of looking at the printed out cards for my legion. I hate putting down my first and favorite army but the Warmachine MKII cards are out and its enough for me…. So allow me to introduce you to my first painted Menoth model… the Revenger. Thats the model. thats the [...]
