Imperatus

Its been strangely quiet on here since Smogcon. This hasn’t been because of any burnout on my part, but quite the opposite, I have been super busy. Super busy at home, super busy at work, and sort of busy with hobby stuff.

Altered States

Smogcon is almost upon us and despite my best efforts, my plans to take Cygnar are faltering. My original plan had been to take Siege, Sturgis and Lord Commander Stryker, however this requires some extra models, including a five Storm Lances.

If You Go Down to the Woods Today…

Most of 2014 has been dedicated to my Cygnar. However it is Autumn now, and my other Warmachine army needs some love. That’s right folk, I’ve been playing with elf army lists again and methinks it is time for the Retribution of Scyrah to return!

Post Holiday Blues

It seems like a very long time since I have written an article for this blog. Of course, it isn’t, but after being on holiday in sunny Spain for two weeks and being a but off colour (long story, not going there), I feel I have neglected my blog writing duties.

My Sweet Valentine

I have been waiting a long time to get my grubby little paws on the third incarnation of this particular elf, Eiryss, Mage Commander Hunter. Her rules were initially spoilt back in August and she when on general release in December. My model, arrived at the very end of January.

A Tale of Two Warcasters

It is 2014 so time to revisit my warcaster choices for the new year. OK, in fairness this is an ongoing process and one that was started last year. However, as regular readers of this blog know, we won’t let a little detail like that prevent us from theorycrafting a few army lists.

Fire Starter

There are relatively few models or units in Warmachine that are worth taking in multiples. Griffin light myrmidons are an obvious example with Epic Vyros; and the Phoenix heavy myrmidon is another example, although probably only with Adeptis Rahn.

A (Very) Few Good Elves

I have already posted my non-Theme Rahn list and I will try that later in the winter once my Houseguard Thane arrives. In the meantime, I have a cunning plan with Rahn’s No Quarter theme list. When I used this before, I concentrated on getting two units of advance deploying Stormfall Archers on to the table, and while interesting, I think I may have missed a trick.

The Synergy Drug

I played Epic Vyros last night against one of our resident Trollblood players, and all I have to say is, yes, synergy is a thing. It really really is.

Why, Hello 2014

Its New Year Resolution time, and apart from the easy resolutions like “always play painted models” and “paint what you buy” (actually, that one we’ll skip); it is a good time to reflect on my hobby and what I want to do in the coming year.
