The Road To Templecon & Thunderdome

I think ending the year with a tale of goofiness and some video of Spud making bad dice rolls is a decent way to go.

Monday night was, as usual, Warmachine night at the Hobby Kingdom. I strolled in at my usual time, about 7:30ish after the kids were in bed, and locked eyes with young ...

The Road To Templecon: Master and Pet

An update from the painting desk. Monday Night Warmachine at The Hobby Kingdom will provide more testing, so I’ll hopefully have something more interesting for you then, but for now, the Lord and Commander of my little Templecon force, Adeptis Rahn, and his pet Hydra.

Rahn was quite fun to paint in the end, ...

The Road To Templecon: Rahn vs pHoarluk

It’s almost Christmas. The tree’s up, the kids are excited, and gosh-darn it if thehouse doesn’t smell like Gdaysheila’s been baking something nummy… but you know, Monday night at the FLGS, local Bloodgorger (so titled cos he plays Cryx and Trolls) and superpainter (so titled cos he’s a talented lad with a brush) Brendan (TheGreatGaspy) ...

The Road to Templecon: Snakes on a plain

As I’m sure many of you are aware, Clayton (of Iron Kingdoms Aventures) and I lined up a 35 pt test game on Vassal. I was originally going to run a list pretty much along the lines of the one I ran last Monday night (see the last Road To Templecon update), but at the ...

The Road To Templecon: Stabby Meatshields

Testing (slowly) continues for Rahn as I try to nut out a list for Templecon. Monday night, I had the pleasure of squaring off against Tom Kusch (TK421 on PP’s forums, Snake Eyes on HK’s forums) and his Skorne. For once I played against an army that can’t completley negate Stealth…

I’ve been struggling to finalise an ...

The Road To Templecon: Tiny Dances

As loyal blogaholics will have read over at Iron Kingdoms Adventures, Clayton and I had a 15 pt skirmish via Vassal. You can read an overview of the battle over there, but the experience warrants mentioning in my ongoing attempts to come to grips with Adeptis Rahn and his pointy-eared pals.

I’ll be honest, ...

The Road To Templecon: Finding Rahn

Some of you may have read my thread at PP’s forums, but for those who have not, I have a goal.

Templecon has a string of tournaments that I’d like to participate in. I’m no spring chicken, so there’s no way I’m even going to attempt to play in all five back-to-back tournaments while ...

Da-doo-Rahn-Rahn-Rahn

(from Larkin Vain’s post over at Miniature Mayhem, reported on PP’s forums)

I think on some level we’ve all been hanging out waiting to see what the Retribution has to offer, wondering what information’s going to come out of GenCon re: models, the book, and of course, the “Next Big Thing” announcement, ...
