WarmaHordes: Cryx Tournament Results

We had a tournament yesterday. It was a small, in-club thing with seven participants (and two guys sharing the eighth spot to get us to an even number). It was more of an opportunity for some concentrated gaming than an attempt at competition.

I played my Cryx. I won all my three games, giving me the overall victory.

Terrain Thoughts: WarmaHordes Obstacles

And here's part three.

Obstacles.

Trying to think of a good intro...

Failing. Let's just get on with it, shall we?

Terrain Thoughts: WarmaHordes Forests

I actually wrote the second instalment of Terrain Thoughts? Yay me!

So, continuing on the subject of WarmaHordes, the next terrain feature up for discussion is forests.

Terrain Thoughts: WarmaHordes Water

Terrain.

It is one of the most important aspects of a wargame, capable of changing the course of a battle quite significantly by its placement, nature, or absence.

Which is why I feel justified in looking at a few types of terrain here. I'll start off with WarmaHordes (since that is what I'm playing right now) but might branch out.

Today is about water.

WarmaHordes: Onwards and Forwards - Choosing a Second Army

Yeah, I know it's been a while. No, I'm not going to apologize. Onwards and forwards.

I started WarmaHordes maybe four months ago. Since then, I've been frenziedly assembling, painting and playing my Trollbloods. I've now got to the point where I cannot field all (or even half) my models in a single game at the club.

Faced with this fact, I've decided to get a second army, rather than keep expanding the Trolls ad infinitum (except they will probably still get the occasional reinforcement; no army is ever finished, after all).

I've gone with Cryx. This post will be about why.

WarmaHordes: I Hate Cygnar!

This is a rantette (patent pending).

Don't consider it serious.

But I do hate Cygnar

WarmaHordes: The bandwagon trundles on - Focus versus Fury

And it's that time again.

Unless you've tried it yourself, you've no idea how much of a motivation it is to actually get some traffic.

Which is why I write this now; I was expecting to wait at least till the weekend.

The third instalment of my look into the world of WarmaHordes will deal with the only truly fundamental difference between Warmachine and Hordes, the Fury/Focus mechanic.

WarmaHordes: The bandwagon trundles on - further gameplay

So, my first real post since I joined the House of Paincakes.

No pressure.

I've just had more hits in the last few hours than in the month before it.

Assuming anyone who's still around found something I've written before at least somewhat entertaining and/or informative, I'll just keep going.

And on that theme, here's more observations on the actual game WarmaHordes.

WarmaHordes: The bandwagon trundles on - gameplay

I said I might do it.

I'll try to look at a few of the significant traits of WarmaHordes as a game, and tell you why I do or don't like them. So, part actual fact, part opinion piece. Business as usual.

WarmaHordes: The bandwagon trundles on - super glue edition

So, a while ago, I jumped the bandwagon and picked up Trollbloods, swept up in a frenzy of steampunk-powered miniatures gaming (but righteously convinced that a blue monster can whoop a steam powered pseudo-dreadnought any day of the week).

This was two months ago.

Now, I've got somewhere around seventy points of models, plus three Warlocks, assembled and painted. Another handful of guys are yet to be finished.

This post is about WarmaHordes (duh) and one of my impressions so far.

WarmaHordes: There's room on this Bandwagon still!

So, Incarias goes WarmaHordes. Who'd a thunk it?

A few weeks ago one of the guys down at the club asked around, to see if anyone actually played Warmachine. A couple of the 'old-timers' (sorry, guys) did, and there's been a couple of games played.

Me, being in sort of a GW lull right now (the inspiration and motivation just don't come as easily as normal) decided to see what the game was all about. Fool me.
