Here’s a video VASSAL battle report, featuring MacBain and eFeora. I’m using the MacBain list I discussed a few days ago. Here’s the video – Enjoy! Owen

I’ve been playing the Privateers (on and off) since early last year and I think I’m pretty good with Shay and okay with Fiona. I’ve never given Broadsides a go – I’m not a huge fan of the ranged game, but a few weeks ago I picked up Drake MacBain. Since reading the Mercenaries Forces [...]

Last month’s Lost Hemisphere “Paint the Target” challenge was to paint a character (or character unit). In a fit of madness I decided to paint Alexia and twelve Risen. It wasnt too bad as there were only four distinct sculpts, Alexia and three different Risen (undead grunts from Khador, Protectorate and Cygnar units). This month’s [...]

I’ll post better photos at a later stage, but MacBain is now complete. I’m looking forward to playing him as I think he’ll be great at leading my Privateers. Owen

I’ve been playing Shae’s tier list for about six months now so I decided to jot down some observations. After coming from the relative simplicity of playing Khador the Privateers really challenged me. I’ve found three things needed to be mastered to get the most out of the Privateers – Synergy, Deployment and Activation order. [...]

I’ve had a good couple of months practice with the Privateers and I think I have a pretty good handle on how they operate. My order of activation is working, well, most of the time and I rarely trip over myself too much. I managed to get two final practice games in on Tuesday ahead [...]

Lenny and I got a Steamroller practice game in on Tuesday and I’m slowing getting the hang of the Privateers. That said, I spread the army too far and fell into Lenny’s (well laid) trap, i.e. lots of ranged attacks zeroed in on the scenario (Incursion) objectives! He had good concealment and cover for most [...]

Oh boy is the Commodore Cannon a powerful beast! It blasted Gerlak Slaughterborn into Skarre, knocking her down and dealing a little damage. Then a marshaled Mariner followed up with a boosted damage cannon shot on her and that dropped her down to 4 boxes of damage. Peter had been rightly reluctant to come near [...]

In my last post about the Privateers I claimed Phinneus Shae is a hard man to kill! Well, Typhon proved this evening that is not the case. It took three boosted sprays, one of which that missed, but the Legion character beast got the job done… Joe’s 35pt force was led by Absylonia and he [...]

I’ve used lots of different ‘piratey’ bases (see here and here) for my Warmachine Privateer army, but a sandy beach was one I hadn’t attempted until I was working on the last unit of Thamarite Cultists. I could’t find any good tutorials on this, but I decided I’d give it a go. Step 1: Since [...]
