A game plan, eh? It’s hard to predict how any game of Warmachine/Hordes will go, but it’s always worthwhile having a game plan. This plan should be pretty concrete in terms of how your force deploys and how you’d like the first turn will go down. There are some variables, specifically exceptional ranged threats in [...]

Wow – this was the highest attrition game so far in the campaign. It devolved into a fight between two badly wounded warlocks with no source of Fury! As we’re playing five 35pt games my starting force was 140pts (5 x 35pts x 80%, excluding Warbeast points). Here’s how my army is faring after four [...]

Here’s the story of my preparation and the games over the weekend… if you can’t be bothered reading it all you can [...]

New Year, New Campaign. This time around we’re playing a 5-game ANNIHILATION campaign. Here’s the battle report for the first game – We haven’t quite figured out the fluffy context for the campaign yet, but something to do with the Circle Orboros forces trying to cut the movement of supplies north, thus isolating the Legion [...]
