Steamroller Prep Part 3: Warwitch Deneghra

iavian — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:00:39 +0000

Okay, so I couldn’t come up with an Electric Six reference that wasn’t a stretch… Probably time to stop doing that. My second list for the Steamroller prep was: Warwitch Deneghra (-5) Nightmare (10) Defiler (5) Deathripper (4) Cankerworm (5) Bane Thralls (5) Bane Lord Tartarus (4) Pistol Wraith (3) Warwitch Siren (2) Skarlock Thrall [...]

To follow up my brute thralls from last week, here is the min squad of mechanithralls which they accompany on field excursions of the second kind.

Southport Showdown! Jase’s Review

jasefox — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:21:04 +0000

So this Saturday just passed we had the Southport Showdown! Hai-ooooooo! Petezilla, our gracious host, had one stipulation, use a caster you’re not familiar with. So i thought i’d test a possible Nationals 2011 caster, i emailed and text a few people and managed to wrangle enough models to field my proposed armies. It was [...]

Caption Contest: Stryker and the Deathjack

Tinman_XL — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:29:00 +0000

So, it's been a while since I did a caption contest so I thought I'd kick off another one. But, this time I want to use an image from a Arena game we did a couple months ago. So, I'll kick this off with:"He just followed me home - can I keep him?" - S...

How I was beaten like a thrall

Thundernuts — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:49:34 +0000

A pair of converted brute thralls coupled with a quick summary of a game I played.

TierFIGHT: Amon VS Mortenebra

ultimatelegion — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:00:37 +0000

Mortenebra had had just about enough of these upstart humans. She and her precious Helljacks had been damaged with gunfire and between herself, Deryliss, and the Necrotechs she had just recently repaired the damage. Having just finished her work she was less than thrilled to see yet more humans brandishing guns. The enemy warcaster was a heavy muscled [...]

BATTLE REPORT: Fiona The Black vs. Pirate Queen Skarre 50pts

Tinman_XL — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:15:00 +0000

It's a game of Pirates (Mercenaries) vs. Pirates (Cryx), and it's a fluff battle I've wanted to play out since I started collecting my pirate army two years ago.

Free Time Black Hole, Episode 17

CaptainSpud — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:00:40 +0000

Almost every week when I sit down to write this thing, I start in almost the exact same way: one of “I don’t have much to show” or “I’m tired”, which is then followed by “so it’ll be a short article this week.” Three hours later when I’m about to submit, I always go back [...]

TierFIGHT: Caine vs Mortenebra

CaptainSpud — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:59:57 +0000

as told by Spud We rolled for our scenario and ended up with Convergence. AGAIN. I have nothing against the scenario, but it seems to come up in every single tournament and TierFight game (even when using random scenarios like in this event), so we mutually agreed to re-roll, ending up with Close Quarters instead. [...]

Still Tired of the Primed Throng

Thundernuts — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:44:05 +0000

For those reading the last post (its got nothing for me!), here is a group shot of the army list. Half done, half undone. I put some time in on the black ogruns because they are the most torturous to paint. The mostly completed ogrun still needs a...

Tired of the Primed Throng

Thundernuts — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:56:12 +0000

A goal has been declared! A challenge has been issued! If I don't get this list painted, I vow to hurt someone besides myself!

Making Progress: Steamroller Prep, Part 2.

iavian — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 11:00:58 +0000

This time out, I want to talk about The Rules I placed myself under for Playtest. 1) No Takebacks. 2) Every game should be an SR2010 (revised) scenario. 3) Time our turns. 4) Every time I a) Make a mistake b) Thought of a clever trick or combo or c) Got surprised by something an [...]

Making a Mess

Thundernuts — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 11:00:33 +0000

Nothing special to see here. Only a dirty painted defiler. This is not the bonejack your looking for. Move along.

TierFIGHT: Mortenebra VS Fiona

ultimatelegion — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 02:35:51 +0000

Mortenbra Looked out on the abandoned Village and was rather insulted. How dare these flesh and blood creatures attempt to defy her and claim that which was clearly hers. She would teach this rabble with their primitive jacks the true meaning of pain, besides she thought with savage grin I need to test the minute [...]

Circle vs. Cryx

Quixotic — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:14:33 +0000

My assassination attempt against Skarre did not go well.

Another great loss

Rob — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 09:26:00 +0000

Well lost another one tonight, but really enjoyed the game, even though I was feeling like death myself. I could probably pass as one of Black Banes Ghost Raiders… not that its an excuse at all. I played my Cryx versus Mercenaries. This was the first...

Assassinated Again!

Thundernuts — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:47:49 +0000

Ever dream of being whipped by pLylyth? I'll paraphrase the joys of the fantasy in this short battle report.

Witch Coven Tier 4 List

The Witch Coven are next on my run-through of some of the Tier 4 lists, and will be the last for a bit (since I'll need more experience with some of the other casters before I can say for sure how I'd run them... I may take a shot at regular Goreshade,...

Rob — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 08:40:00 +0000

Game day today, it was horrible wet windy day, so we ended up staying at Mark’s place rather than going down to the hall for game day. So first up I played Chris (Circle) in a 25pt game versus my Legion. Chris’s Circle list was similar to the ones ...

Shae vs Skarre (35pt Battle Overview)

OAP — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:23:38 +0000

Oh boy is the Commodore Cannon a powerful beast! It blasted Gerlak Slaughterborn into Skarre, knocking her down and dealing a little damage. Then a marshaled Mariner followed up with a boosted damage cannon shot on her and that dropped her down to 4 boxes of damage. Peter had been rightly reluctant to come near [...] Related posts:

This was an experiment from late July. I put together a quick and dirty battle report playing Ross at Heroic Adventures. Tell me what you think. I am playing a 35 point game using eSkarre against Nemo (Stryker on the table). My opponent is Ross. First round I more or less ran everything up. Deathjack [...]

Terminus’ New Base

Neomorte — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:11:28 +0000

After playing the Undead Pirate Lord at Too Poor for GenCon 2010, I quickly realized that I did not take into account the weight of the wings. This oversight had left him entirely too back heavy. Because of this, I decided that he needs a metal base. Since I have to redo the base, I [...]

Converting Terminus

Neomorte — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 04:14:22 +0000

As I mentioned in my post about Deathjack, I got a sweet deal on Terminus in the used models selection of MetaGames Unlimited in Springfield, MO. After sitting on the shelf for 8 months, I called in a favor from AK and got him stripped down and ready for reassembly and painting. Holy crap, Terminus [...]

Legion of Ever Delight vs. Cryx – A Tale of Two Troop Hordes

Thundernuts — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:58:21 +0000

What happens when two players who haven't played a game in a month, duel it out with a couple of troop heavy lists? A lot of rule flipping and dice chucking to be sure! Come read the blood bath and be intrigued.

I’m The Bomb – Steamroller Prep with Lich Lord Venethrax

iavian — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:00:59 +0000

A few weeks ago, our local PGers announced a Steamroller tournament for the end of August. I was pretty disappointed with my showing at the last one I attended, so myself and my housemate (Harry/ John Q) resolved to playtest hard for this one. And playtest we have. When we started out, we set down [...]

A quick hit for your perusal over your Sunday Morning bacon and eggs, it looks like our Roving Correspondent managed to corner Privateer’s Marketing dude, Lord William Schick BMMD Esq III (that’s Boffin of Many Marketing Decisions to you…), and squeezed him until he provided a little feedback on Saturday morning’s Warmachine: Wrath preview.

However the Skarlock is being swapped for Blood Hag for the sake of getting her painted with the full list. So now I have the challenge I think I need [...]

This was a terrible week for painting. I had a LOT of long working days, and have been dealing with some personal stuff to boot. As a result, not much progress this week. Hopefully I’ll have an upswing next week, and miraculously finish this project. I got the Khador Battlebox (side project) finished: And I [...]

All 64 participating warcasters and warlocks have squared off in a 4×4 arena of mayhem and glorious destruction.

Skarlock Goodness

criticalsam — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 23:15:49 +0000

Ok so I’ve chosen a cryx 2 point solo… The Skarlock because I think he is a sweet looking model and can be quite versatile for his points. Now i’ve only really played Cryx since MKII which in a way gives me a fresh new analysing head upon my shoulders and means I won’t be [...]

Seraphsong Shivers the Timbers: Pt 2

gdaybloke — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:00:47 +0000

Taking a look at the shelf, I realized that I definitely have my work cut out for me if I want to get all of this painted in 22 days. The first thing that I think is necessary when painting an army is to have everything assembled. This doesn’t necessarily mean that all the gaps [...]

Played Rob on Friday, since he has expressed serious interest in the game, and I wanted to teach it, and play a big enough game for him to get some feel for it's play. We chose a 25 point game.I played Cryx, and ran the following list:Deneghra-Defiler...

Best part of being in the Lost Hemisphere? Combing the beaches to to see what washes up from the rest of the known world. Today it’s my pleasure to introduce to you Seraphsong, who seems determined to either break a painting speed record, or die in a hideous conflagration as his paintbrushes spontaneously combust. Personally, [...]

Idol Speculation: Headbutt Division

gdaybloke — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:00:48 +0000

As we here at Lost Hemisphere work our way through the Lost Conference of games for Immoren Idol, I thought it’d be amusing to take a look at the Ghetto Conference’s games and to speculate a little on the pairings. It’s true in Warmachine and Hordes, as it is in pretty much everything, that there [...]

I played a game this weekend with Tornadomelons while he was around with us uneducated folk. To mix things up I played his Highborn as Seaforge while he played my Cryx. To further mix it up, we proxied a ton of stuff to test things out. Here are the 35 point lists: Seaforge: Gorten Grundback with [...]

So spring break tore into my painting schedule a little bit with all the travelling and such, but I managed to finish my Soulhunters this week, as well as busting out the Warwitch Siren in about 4-5 hours. I'm glad I got them painted so that I can hav...

Well folks, this is it. You’ve made it through a whole freakin’ month of large based character models and what do you have to show for it?

We’re on the homeward stretch now, folks. You’ve been with us for almost a whole month of large-based character goodness! Today we turn to Lost Contributor I_Avian and his Cryxian models. Riding forth from the Scharde Isles on an undead monstrosity, a hideous blend of nectorised horseflesh and steaming pistons, Darragh Wrathe is the scythe-wielding stuff of [...]

Man, I have had a difficult time with Cryx. They are subtle but vicious. I just haven’t found my groove yet. So, I have decided that I should probably take a new approach at it. Coming from Khador and the Pirate subgroup of Mercs, I am used to a very melee approach in the game. [...]
