Field Guide: Trying Not To Get Killed

As part of my challenge to practice with just three warcasters, I have started to use Lord Arcanist Ossyan, the Retribution of Scyrah warcaster introduced in the Wrath expansion.

Field Guide: The Bird Elf of Ios

Over the last few months I have been getting Rahn killed continuously, so it seemed only natural to try something else. With the Hyperion already done, I decided to add Dawnlord Vyros as my fifth Iosan warcaster.

Three Warcasters

Warmachine is a game where matchups between different casters/lists are really important.

Field Guide: Carpet Bombing

The title says it all really. I like my Stormfall Archers and they always seem to perform very well for me. These guys were the first unit I painted for my angry elves and what is good with four, is better with eight; so I’m painting up another four.

Field Guide: Kaelyssa, the Night’s Whisper

Welcome to my first Field Guide, a semi-regular series of tactics articles for Warmachine. Or it will be, if I write more than one.

As she’s my favourite angry elf at the moment Kaelyssa, the Night’s Whisper, is first up. 

My Little Pony

Objective one from my last post was “play more games”, and last night I managed to get to SPIF and give my new Kaelyssa list a run, including the first outing for Skyreth Issyen, my newly painted (but not quite finished) Fane Knight.

Attrition or Assassination?

OK, I don’t want to scary anyone, but I’ve won my last two games with Ravyn. OK, there has been some freakish luck involved, however in both games I’ve also changed my play style a little. Experienced players should probably switch off now because is all bleeding obvious stuff.

Focus on Focus

Whilst trying to write up my 35 point Retribution of Scyrah army lists, it struck me exactly how important Focus allocation is in Warmachine, even before an dice are thrown. Any experienced players can probably move on at this point…

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.

Junior

For my last few games, the Journeyman Warcaster (otherwise known as Junior) has been making a regular appearance in my Cygnar army.
