Each of these games was a pleasure to play. Every one had a moment where one or both of us were pushed to try something a little risky. Sometimes it paid off, and other times it didn’t.

Battle Reports — how to (or not to) play Warmachine & Hordes
Isle of Games Steamroller 2022-09
The first list is Madrak 3 with Fennblades. The idea is to look at whether Fennblades or Northkin are better with Madrak 3. I’ve had lots of success with Northkin Raiders and Kriel Warriors. In my old Band of Heroes lists, I ran Champions and Fennblades, or Fennblades and Long Riders, but not usually Fennblades and Kriel Warriors.

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.

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.

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.

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...

For the last tournament I played, I dropped three cabers (one per unit) and reduced the Krielstone to a minimum, in order to add Boomhowler the Destroyer. The battlegroup changed as well. A full grown bomber is added, in place of the Pyre Troll, and the Earthborn takes the place of the Brawler for a no knock-down approach on Madrak from turn to turn. As far as the bomber goes, blasts being a non-issue for the warriors, I wouldn’t worry about throwing a bomb at a warjack standing in front of a warrior.

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.

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,...
