In this post I talk about the last of the four scenarios that may be used in the upcoming Steamroller 2013 tournament. Process of Elimination Disclaimer: You probably get it at this stage, but this is not a substitute for reading the scenario and SR2013 document! Brief: Two rectangular zones, each with an enemy Monolith [...]

Over the last couple of posts I’ve talked about Incursion and Close Quarters. This time out I talk about Destruction, which is a scenario I have mixed feelings about… Destruction Disclaimer: As before, this is not a substitute for reading the scenario and SR2013 document! Brief: A rectangular zone cornered by Monoliths. Control the zone [...]

Following hot on the heals of Incursion here is the low down on Close Quarters. Close Quarters Disclaimer: As before, this is not a substitute for reading the scenario and SR2013 document! Brief: Two flags, one friendly, one enemy, you can score on both, but one is much better!

There are twelve different scenarios in Steamroller 2013 and getting to grips with them can be pretty daunting for a new tournament player. We have a tournament for newer players coming up in Dublin in the next few weeks and I thought I’d run through the scenarios you’re going to see there. Ciaran, the Event [...]

One of the guys on the Warmachine/Hordes Ireland Facebook group asked for a post introducing newer players to the Steamroller format and playing competitively. I’m not the most qualified to write this, but I have played in one or two tournaments… Here I concentrate on what you can control and do before a tournament. You [...]

While I didn’t get a chance to play in the Irish Masters, I did get to take some photos of the last round of the competition. It was great to catch up with friends new and old. Well done to Martin Hornáček for taking first (Skorne), Ciaran Bolger in second (Skorne) and Ethan Day-Jones for [...]

When you look at Forward Kommand Sorscha’s cards in your hand the first thing you’ll notice is how much text there is on the back of her stat card. A Warjack Bond, Desperate Pace and an Elite Cadre are the main features. Like Kommandant Irusk she offers a lot of support for infantry, with the [...]

One of our newer players was looking for advice on starting Khador. It’s hard to give advice in a vacuum as every faction in Warmachine/Hordes has pretty decent breadth. In this post I’m going to focus on the strengths of Kommandant Irusk, one of Khador’s iconic warcasters. Looking at his spells it’s clear that he [...]

A couple of weekend’s ago saw Ireland’s first SR2013 Beta tournament take place at Dominicon in Maynooth (where I live). The 50pt event attracted ten players and had a decent spread of factions, though there were three Cygnar players present. I fielded two Khador armies, one led by Sorscha2 and one led by Vlad2. The [...]

Last Sunday I played in my first Hardcore event. It was a 50pt tournament over three rounds. I decided to break out my new toys and fielded a list where almost every model hasn’t seen tournament play before. Here’s my list – Forward Kommander Sorscha – WJ: +6 Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker: 2 Beast 09: [...]
