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 [...]

A while ago I posted about some Neglected Toys (Warcasters and Warlocks) that were gathering dust. With the beginners tournament coming up I decided it was time to bring some of those toys out to play, so I rolled on the D10 chart and here’s what I got. The first list is reserved for veteran [...]

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 [...]

I decided to run a format that was a little different in today’s tournament. We had an Escalation-style tournament where players made two groups of lists, 35pts being the largest in each. Within each group there is also a 25pt and 15 pt list. Each list is a subset of a larger one. Players had [...]

Last post about the tournament… promise! Here are some photos from the day… Owen

In this video the players talk through their lists and the rationale behind what they chose to include in these cutthroat forces! Owen
