Here is an update to the two player ANNIHILATION campaign system based on more playtesting. I’ve tidied the rules up a bit and added a section on ‘Legendary Status’, a way to allow FA:C models to return from the dead during the campaign (for a price!) ANNIHILATION v1.3 (PDF) Feedback and experience would be most [...]

Here is an update to the two player ANNIHILATION campaign system based on a lot of play testing recently. This new version includes rules for models that bring other models ‘Back from the Dead’. ANNIHILATION v1.2 Feedback and experience would be most appreciated. 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. [...]

So tonight was my second game with timed turns and it went much better. Both Joe and I were more relaxed. I ran the same army as last time so a little familiarity really helped. We played a 35pt game with The Gauntlet scenario. We both moved up cautiously. Joe got the hop on me [...]

I’ve never been a fast player. I like to contemplate my turn and am careful with my order of activation. Timed turns in Warmachine were going to be a killer for me. In the last tournament I was less than speedy with the Privateers – the large numbers of solos, units and ‘jacks made for [...]

Next Year’s Irish Nationals for Warmachine/Hordes will be held at Leprecon on the 4th-5th March 2011 in Dublin. Leprecon is the annual con organised by the DU Gamers of Trinity College Dublin. The nationals/masters will be a two day event with both 35pt and 50pt games. It will use the most recent Steamroller format available. [...]

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 [...]
