During the Fourth of July weekend, Dessa and I played a game and recorded it with the Go Pro. The video is up on Youtube. This is a summary of the battle, even though you can also watch it ion Youtube.

Battle Reports — how to (or not to) play Warmachine & Hordes
Agathon’s first Steamroller
I thought I had the assassination run down, but now I’ve picked up some new tricks. Additionally, I’m reading my cards, and thinking that maybe Agathon isn’t a one trick pony after all.
Continue reading...Learning the Agathon Assassination
The first two games were rough. Agathon couldn’t seem to gain any souls, due to the high number of warjacks and lack of souls. In the first game, the horrors seemed to die easily to the Toros. In the second game, I tried the colossal to see if it could survive a little better than the heavy horrors.
Continue reading...Locke vs Stryker
My point here is this: Warmachine has lots of older models that are still playable in today’s meta. I never felt disadvantaged because of bad models at any given time during the game. I think the people who say that the old models aren’t playable need to give these units a chance.

I’ve been messing with Storm of the North with Borka 1 and Borka 2, and a few other warlocks. Dessa finally picked up Bennet for Crucible...

I’m convinced that assassination is usually a trap. On the games where I ignore assassination as a win condition, I don’t clock myself. I also tend to score more points, as I’m more concerned with that spread.
Continue reading...Trolls into Dwarves, Brawlmachine
About a month ago, I had my first game in public. That’s right, outside the house, in an actual local game shop. After two long plague-years,...
Continue reading...Ragnor vs Syvestro at 75 points
Crucible Guard can’t do much to the trolls when they have to drop a die of damage, even if they gain an extra two to their effective POW with the Vindicators. Syvestro, for his part, slinks behind his Vindicator, trying to evade the Mauler.

Allister Caine meets his match. Will he assassinate the caster hiding in the impenetrable haze, or will the mad alchemist be Caine’s undoing?
