Reinforcements for the Empire(s)

So SR2012 has finally come among us all and it brought along a very interesting twist on game play for the tournament scene this year, the reinforcements rule. I think anyone who plays competitively knows the details about this set of rules but I’ll quickly go over it for anyone not quite versed it this ...

Steamroller 2012, 1/22/12 Game 3

Lets get back to the action! Like I said, I ended up playing Eddie in round 3. A real cool guy who I watched play TJ. We both have one loss. The two people we lost to are playing at the top table for first and second. He was playing Cryx (BOO-HISS!) and had a ...

Steamroller 2012, 1/22/12 Game 2

With game 1 down and me sitting at 0-1 but having a ton of army points I was pretty happy. I found out that I would be playing up in Game 2. That's an odd position that I like. It really helps your SoS and you get in better games. I faced off against Pete ...

Strutting your stuff Part.II – The aftermath.

After my last post I got a fair bit of feedback via comments, not the kind I wanted exactly but in all honesty it’s good to have some constructive criticism. Puts your feet back on the ground so to speak.

Steamroller 2012, 1/22/12 Game 1

So I showed up to The Battle Standard on Sunday and, to my surprise, there were 17 players! Seriously, welcome to Connecticut, where have you all been for the past 8 years? There was a very diverse selection in armies though the selection I would play against was much less diverse. Bo got match ups ...

Random musings after trying SR2012

I had the pleasure of getting up to The Battle Standard this past weekend and playing in my first Steamroller 2012. I will probably do Battle Reports later in the week but here are my thoughts on the system itself!Scenarios - One of the big discussions over on the official forums is whether or not ...

Strutting your stuff – Conversions in Warmachine

Now as I touched on in my previous post Warmachine is not a game you associate with conversions. A range that provides only static metal models with no interchangeable bitz or options is pretty weak when you compare it to say, Warhammer, where nearly every model can easily be made to look different.

Now don’t get me ...

Steamroller 35 point Game 2!

Game 1 was a real good match up for me and a solidly played win. Game 2 I knew was going to be tough. I've written a couple reports about playing Frank. He is a really good player. He has been playing Cryx since right before MKII and stays with Cryx. He doesn't deviate. He ...
