Objectives and Flags

Two of the key components of Steamroller scenarios are objective markers and flags. Normally at club we use cardboard tokens cut to the appropriate size and a D20 to mark damage, which is ok until either the dice gets knocked or a stiff breeze moves the token.

War Room Review

Privateer Press’ Warmachine app has been available for a while now but I have only recently started playing with it, so time for a review methinks…

Ice Ice Baby

With the Hyperion finally painted, it seems like a good time to get to some of those smaller models in my collection that have been overlooked. One of these is the Nyss minion sorceress, Lanyssa Ryssyl.

Steamroller 2013

Earlier last year I posted some of thoughts regarding the 2013 version Warmachine/Hordes tournament format, Steamroller.

Poddy Casting

Earlier in the year I did a review of a few podcasts I was listening to. Well, it is about time that got updated because I have been listening to two other Warmachine/Hordes podcasts quite a lot since then.

Steamroller 2013

One of the changes moving between muppets and SPIF last year, was the the introduction (to me at least) of the Steamroller rules (linky here).

Summer Campaigning

I’m now back in Northern Europe, rather annoyingly just in time for the local club Warmachine/Hordes campaign that starts this week. I say “annoyingly” because despite taking painting and models on holiday, I simply didn’t have a chance to do anything hobby over the last two weeks.

Hunting Beasties

The elves have now had their first game and I have to say I learned quite a bit. To put this into context, I haven’t played Warmachine for nine months, I’ve never played my Retribution, and I’ve never played against Legion of Everblight.

Something to Listen Too?

Before we begin, a warning: this blog post will not be about making swoshing noises whilst playing wargames. Whilst some degree of friendly taunting is acceptable, and to be encouraged, bolter sound effects are not.
