Hi, I'm Dave. I like cats, sunsets, long walks on soft summer nights... no, wait, that's an intro for a different kind of site.

Hi, I'm Dave. I like Cryx, salty tears, and grinding my opponents' bones to make my bread. Sometimes this seems at odds with my role as Pressganger to the masses, but what makes a new player better if not a baptism of fire (or in this case corrosion)?

I've been playing Warmachine for about three years now, first with Menoth, then Cryx, and with a few forays into Trolls here and there. I'm fairly active in and around Essex, I try to get to most of the local tournaments and I run about one a month at our LGS. Having attended SmogCon the last two years I'm starting to look at attending more national - and maybe even international - tournaments. So hopefully soon I'll get to play and meet more people from even further afield.

I'll most likely be posting about Cryx - how to lose friends and cast Influence on people - although generally I find applying Banes to face works well. A Bane in the eye is a pretty effective deterrent to many things your opponent may be planning.

Hello to you all.

Hi all,

 

My name is Matt. I dabbled in MK1 many years ago , just myself and a friend. He gave up and I had a barren few years, with nothing but my dreams of world...or at least tabletop... domination to comfort me. I then bumped into a friendly Pressganger and came back into the game in Mk 2. 

 

As many of us do, I started one faction (Khador) before deciding it wasn't for me and so moved onto another. My true calling...the SKORNE EMPIRE! .....via the Legion starter box. I have played Skorne for the last few years and have recently decided to branch out into a Warmachine faction. I now have some Cygnar and Cryx to keep my plans of global domination in full swing. Though Skorne will remain my true calling.

 

The only downside is.....I am pretty average at the game but the important thing is that I enjoy playing the game. Also through the game  I have met some great people, such as the ugly bunch that are also writing on this blog. I do play the occasional tournament and try to play as much as I can at the local club.

 

In the blog I hope to cover general pieces about the hobby in general, Skorne and Cygnar. Hopefully I can cover some of the Skorne bits that Sherwin doesn't, such as Molik and the Fist. I have played them both, though I used the Fist later than most probably do in their Skorne careers.

 

That's enough of my ramblings for now and I hope you enjoy the content on the Blog.

 

 

 

If only I had knees I would be famous!

Hi All,

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read our rambling thoughts on all things Warmachine/Hordes.
My name is Tom, I have been playing Menoth for a little while now and was previously fighting the good fight for the Motherland (Khador).

My hobby history is a short one. I didn't start playing table top games until my mid 20's when a serious knee injury had me laid up for a good few weeks. This meant Sherwin had a captive audience to teach Bloodbowl...this eventually led onto Sherwin buying me a Khador starter set for Christmas one year (I can see a Sherwin theme here*). The rest has been a haze of dice and a hell of a learning curve!

I'm loving the game and tournament scene at the moment. I have met some really nice people at events up and down the country. I am looking to change jobs very soon, which will hopefully give me my evenings back so I can start a Rocky style montage and get back into winning ways!

Who knows what I will be blogging about on here? I don't. I intend to share some of my thoughts on events, some painting stuff so over time you we can all learn from my mistakes and maybe even spoil some of my super secret Menoth tech...I promise it will be mostly stolen and refined from better players, so it should actually not include an Amon Dervish spam list.

I look forward to posting up soon and opening some discussion on random topics. Feel free to comment/message me. I'll always do my best to reply as soon as possible.

Let the Fun begin,

Tom

*its always his bloody fault!

Paul the Cygnar Player

Hello all,

Just a quick introduction to start with. I am Paul Winter and have been playing Warmachine and Cygnar solidly for about 4 years roughly. I am renowned for losing my first 100 games with the boys in blue and having tried every Tier list they have. Currently I win quite a bit now. Cygnar are my main faction, I have the whole range, my minor factions are Khador and Legion which I am keeping to two lists each. I have played Ret Trollbloods and Gators in the past but sold them off.

Dirt mystics, werewolves and movement shenanigans!

Hey all! My name is Aaron, and I have played warmachine for about four years now and have been a pressganger for about three. I started with Cryx, then rotated to trolls and have settled on circle orobos. I have played only circle Orobos for about 3 years and have literally just purchased (this month) a Haley1/2, Brisbaine and Caine2 list for my self. Just to see if guns are any good or not eh? My Circle Orobos range is fully painted with the help of Fanplastic Little Men, a fantastic painting service! My cygnar will be painted by myself and I'll keep you all updated with how that goes!

In regards to the game of warmachine the reason I play more so then anything else is the amazing friends I have gained (and writing this blog with) throughout playing it. We have the best banter, trash talk and very late nights in the bar at all events we go to and without them I wouldn't bother traveling for over night events. That being said as I do go far and wide for events, I am there to play tight competitive games. This year I have been practicing a lot, I have won some local events and most recently went 4-1 on the first steamroller at the UK Games expo and qualified for the masters. Next year I plan to attend smogcon (I will be running events here) UK, Irish and Welsh nationals as well lots of local events and hope to get podium spots!

I'll be speaking about the events we attend, Circle Orobos as a faction, Hobby and the current tournament meta: how and when it changes!

Cheese for reading my little part, hope to see you all back soon.
