Muddy Waters

By Dacarnix July 12, 2006

Dacarnix reviews the differences between Warmachine and Hordes and the viability of a mixed environment.

"The release of Hordes is something without precedent, really.  It’s a miniatures game that’s compatible with Warmachine, but it’s also a viable miniatures game in its own right.  Some call it “four more Warmachine factions.”  Others think it would be best if the two were kept completely separate."Read more...

What I did at the Weekend

By Kelriever July 15, 2006

Kelriever describes his frustration at tournaments from this years Origins convention in Columbus OH.

"There's a lot that's worthwhile to say about Origins, but the starter for me is to talk about how dead tournaments are, at least for me. You know it’s bad when you don't like most of the games you won, and the most fun you had was spending no money and playing pick up games." Read more...

Tournament Terror!

By Dacarnix Sept 10 , 2006

Dacarnix touches on a pet peeve of all honest players, the player who is willing to bend and break the rules to get an upperhand.

By Kaptain O Sept 10, 2006

It's a little late but here is my laid back report of the 4 days I spent hanging out at Gencon 06.

"After driving the sixteen hours to Gencon in previous years I decided to fly out with Ranz and LMBB this year so we show up at Albany International Airport 3:30AM Thursday morning ready for out 5:30 flight.  This also happens to be the morning they arrested 18 terrorists in the UK so the airport is freaking out"

VLAD - Fanfic

By Slappy Oct 7, 2006

Funny and true to game mechanics, Slappy has produced some of the best Warmachine fan-fics I have had the misfortune to read.

"Vlad then ordered all the mortars left to hit the Cryxian positions.  They fired…but kept missing??  Then the Old Witch emerged from a forest and made a Sign at Vlad.  He understood.  Then he looked in the sky and saw an eagle.  It was a portent!!  All the sudden the mortars started hitting their targets… "

ArchDomina Makeda

By Mr.Sota Oct 23, 2006

Mr.Sota presents the first of his analysis of Skorne Warlocks by looking at ArchDomina Makeda.

"Makeda’s spells and feat are designed with troops in mind.  She is considered a Troop warlock, so troop selection is paramount.  Also consider that the final list will need some form of heavy hitting power for high armored Troops and Warbeasts."

Lord Tyrant Hexeris

By Mr.Sota Nov 1, 2006

Here is Mr.Sota's second installment taking a look at the recently released Lord Tyrant Hexeris.

"Many combinations can be made with Hexeris’ spell list and the animus/abilities from Warbeasts.  Since Hexeris will frequently have fury to burn, he will have an opportunity to capitalize on Animi from Warbeasts."

One of our long time Khador players Mengu put together this quick guide on how to go about starting your khador army from scratch.

"Often times I hear people wanting to start Warmachine and don’t know what to purchase, or sometimes people will want a second or third faction and need some advice where to start.
