Something shiny today as in metallic-

We have been playing loads of battletech lately so warmachine hasn't gotten as much love.

But this was a game we planned for.

convegence VS khador at 50 points.

This battle was a bit of a new thing for me as i never fought this army at full strength before (i did one zero level game a very long time ago)

The deployments-

Spoiler:



I didn't know what the axiom could do so i got a little to close to it and it ended up dragging half my army into close combat. the behemoth died before it got to do anything which pretty well ended the game. i managed to take out one side of the axiom and do a little damage to a couple other jacks but that was pretty much it.

Our Skorne player decided to try out a new warcaster for this game.

To change things up a bit i swapped the gun carriage out for the manowar siege chariot.


I managed to get the hydra down to a single wound...but i had nothing left to finish him off.

After the game he realized his warcaster could have cast incorporeal on his colossal instead of his infantry...which would have completely changed the game since i pretty well have nothing with magic weapons.

According to his stat card he can cast it on any friendly faction model. what page is that rule for colossals on? i know they cannot be knocked down, pushed etc....

Tonight's game- Khador VS skorne, 50 points. 2 objective zones.

I threw a few units left to contest that objective and sent the bulk of my force right. it seemed to work at first, keeping us both from scoring until the final turn...however once he started using incorporeal abilities on his units there was pretty well nothing i could do, khador aren't exactly bristling with magical weapons. i was hoping the units on the left flank could hold long enough to stall his hydra and ghosts but on turn 5 he cleared the zone giving him 3 points, his last infantry unit contesting the right objective was still incorporeal, so there was nothing i could do to them to force them off the objective.


Still, it was a fun game and i was trying out the (proxied) manowar bombardiers for the first time. i need to get a squad, already have the officer.

That's why Khador solos that can provide Magical damage type are a very useful addition. Also, Steamroller scenarios all come with an objective which can provide a bonus of your choice (including Magical weapons), so you should never be in a situation like that in a regular game.

The Immortals incorporeal ability only lasts for a turn, not a round. It does not protect them during your turn. It's only for being able to ignore models, freestrikes and terrain offensively.

Oh, it was about Immortals not Void Spirits! Yeah, deffinitely what LunarSol is saying, then, turn not round.

Whenever something sounds too broken to be true, ask your opponent to check the cards or consult Warmachine University.

I just looked at the card for the extoller, you are correct. that would have changed things quite a bit.... most likely a tied game but either way i will get with him this week so we can work on his tactics given the misunderstanding.

Also, Steamroller scenarios


Such heresy is forbidden in our game group. we will never play tournament style/steamroller and we do not use themed lists unless it is a rare special request (which has not happened yet, although we have joked about it).

Even if you don't like Steamroller, the objective rules are there to help with gear check games like this one (even though it was a mistake, heave Incorporeal armies do exist). Having a very one-sided game is a player choice in this case.

In the new edition these tactic cards are going to be addressing this issue, and I think in a more elegant way, so a good change in my book (as I don't like such games too )

That isn't even relevant, i have read the beta rules and it is trash, i have no interest in playing a hybrid AOS/star wars legion dumbed down version of the game.

I play/bring with me on average 6 different games to play at the FLGS on game night. each one is different and provides a nice selection of variety of play styles. i like WM/H for it's unique skirmish play. i also enjoy the black powder steampunk feel of the game. MK IV actually takes away many of the things i like and adds things i hate.

My group of casual WM/H players that i regularly play with have already decided to stay with MKIII.

All sorts of war machine this weekend. our group is busy buying up all the models we want before MKIV hits, and they discontinue them since we are staying with MKIII rules.

I had a planned game with khador against trenchers. we were doing a gunline battle. i proxied my manowar shock troopers and bombardiers since they are not built yet. and he picked up his colossal and put enough of it together there to represent.

we did some no good to a farmers homestead as we battled it out in his field. even with the trenchers digging in and popping smoke i managed to work them over pretty good, but it wasn't enough to overcome his force in 5 turns and ended in a draw.
still a fun game

Game 2 was against Skorne and this time we avoided the farm. the first game was a gunline battle, this one was a straight brawl.

i took out his heavy infantry and he hurt the gun carriage quite severely nearly killing it, but my mechanics did work it back up to nearly full health over a few turns.

Moral victory wise he destroyed both my jacks, but by the end of the game he didn't have much left.

Game 3 i was not involved in and i only got a couple pictures as i was off with helping another player learning a different game.

This one was a skorne VS convergence battle.

Always fun to see when less played factions do battle.

Our local group has had someone trying to get people to meet up, and they're even trying to mix in Mk4 beta rules in to it. Or at least, the organizer's offering it up.

I haven't gone as they meet up when I play Battletech, and that game is at a closer location (fuel prices suck).

....and were back!


I was supposed to get a game in to, but this happened so late the Cygnar player went up against Menoth first.

50 point game, center table objective, MKIII rules.

The Cygnar player was testing out a list as he was getting back into the game and he was in the lead so turn 4 turned into an assasination run.

With those darn rocket troops pulling out a win at the end.

Who was the Menoth caster? I see Kraye for Cygnar, but I'm having a hard time finding the Menoth warcaster.

Needed to scratch the itch, have not gotten any WM/H in a while so i got the Crucible guard player to break out his new toys.

he tried out Aurum as his caster this game and he got his Vulcan on the table for the first time.

darn that thing is fast. especially good when Aurum casts engine of destruction on it. with the Vulcan spewing out iron bane he nearly killed both my jacks in one turn. thankfully my battle mechanics did what they could to keep me around for a turn. enough to cripple the colossal allowing my shock troopers to mop up his assault troopers on the right flank before they moved in to finish off the Vulcan. . the suppressor tank was doing work as well, he was down to a single wound at the very end. it was a good fight to the last turn. with Khador squeaking out a win.

Hopefully you mean Redline, as Engine is a spell Locke casts on her self and is mostly for when she's running a Convergence list.

Locke needs more Jacks. She loves them so much but definitely wants a Vulcan. Did she feat? That can be back breaking against something like Clamjacks.

I've been really happy overall with MK4, but I'm super anxious to get my tanks and Vulcan back on the table. They are just so fun.

Yeah, it was redline...mixed that one up, we talked about engine during the game, and it got stuck in my head. i do not think she used her feat during the game, Irusk did, mostly to slow them down so he could run away from the storm troopers.

We also talked about switching out one of his units for another jack since he ran both heavy infantry and his rifle team along with 2 extra mechanics. still a pretty good sized hammer at 50 points even without the second jack.

The whole gimmick with Engine is just that since Convergence jacks copy the caster's MAT and RAT, Engine takes them to MAT 9. It doesn't do a whole lot for her solo unless she ends up having to close the game out herself.

I'd for sure take a Vindicator in the list, probably even 2. You can even take a Toro on top of that and its not a bad call. She really does a ton for her jacks and little else. That feat can be totally back breaking. 3 turns of an armor buff on the Vulcan is... its pretty good.

Well it isn't 50 directly, but rather 50 per player in a 2V2 battle for MK III

Khador/crucible guard VS signar (trenchers)/menoth.

I was happy my gun carriage got to do it's thing before it died, blowing a squad of those annoying menoth rocket troops off the table while running over a big group of tenchers.

Khador ended up pushing both ends while the guard mostly came up the middle.

We ended up stopping after 4 turns as it was very late and one of the guys was getting tired.

We made a dent in the lines and lost our left flank but the push did loads of damage. dealing with the enemy colossal was probably going to be the major issue.

With all the new units i got recently i was eager to get more games in and aside from a silly battle of colossals i did get this 50 point game in-

Manowar bombardier themed khador shooting army VS legion of everblight that was warbeast heavy. he used his flying delivery system to tosss his carnivion into to melee right away and did quite a bit of damage. my bombardiers used battle lust and managed to help remove 2 of his big warbeasts and then he dropped his forsaken bomb on me and savaged my remaining forces...and my inability to make my tough rolls

Turned into a close game.

Did a 50 point 3 flag match this time,

New guy barrowed a menoth army from another player. this is only his 3rd game.

Turns out we were both doing a counter clockwise swing to try and get the wing flags, i managed to do it a bit faster(khador right?) so he had to switch to caster kill. he almost pulled it off taking irusk down to 4 wounds. a narrow victory for khador.

This was an interesting battle because we were both using gun line lists. he outranged me by a fair bit with his rockets having a 15" range compared to my 12" bombardiers. still a good match.

Finally got to try out my colossal 50 point list.

It was against convergence so it was going to be a tough fight from the get go.

I did a bit of damage early on from going second, but i failed a bunch of critical need to hit rolls. the dice wasn't with me tonight so i ended it early, gonna give it a try again later.

Absolutely, we just have been very busy playing other games. i always have my WM/H army with me at the store and we are supposed to do a huge doubles 50 point attack/defend game. we just have not seem to have had the time....like our B5 wars star wars game with the executor SSD that keeps getting put off. I just got the last of my 3d printed buildings for my huge infinity table so that is the big focus next weekend.

It is what happens when you play a dozen different game systems.
