Is there any other color?


Irusk's feat "desperate ground" is really not all that impressive but it worked out well this game allowing me to ignore the trees and critically wound his caster with my manOwar striker who had "fire for effect" on him. and then i charged into him with the manOwar infantry who were under the effect of "battle lust".

Yes, they look snazzy in black or white as well

But that red is iconic, but I have seen some very nice orange and yellow.

I haven’t seen Irusk on a table here for a long while.
Very cool.

Yeah i like Irusk as a tactical commander, i actually run him as as supreme commandant Irusk, but i hate the model with the flag so i use his original mini.
Making my entire force immune to knockdown and blast damage is rather nice with "solid ground". having him grant all my infantry "tough" is just a bonus.

I mostly got him to support the gun carriage and behemoth, then i got Sorcha later to play more with my clam jacks.

Through a bit of misfortunate events, it took us several weeks to get this game set up.

Our circle player got around to building and painting his storm raven colossal So of course i wanted a crack at it.

I ran a different list from what i normally do with Sorcha 1 and a very close combat-oriented force.





The beginning didn't really start out well for me, i lost all my manowar basic infantry and my sniper solo. i did manage to kill his wyrd, stone alter and most of his right skin walker unit(thanks to that manowar suppressor).

The bird did most of the damage for obvious reasons then it jumped over my jacks(after taking some damage) and went after Sorcha, taking her down to 4 wounds. Since i went first i popped my feat at the start of the next turn freezing his entire army save his warcaster. since the bird was frozen Sorcha got boosted damage against it, then i moved the spriggan in and finished it.

At that point he conceded the game since the rest of my army was about to go deal with his skin walkers.




While i was playing another game a couple other players did a game of trolls VS Legion.

The end came when one troll managed to get to thagrosh and toss him into the middle of 3 troll warbeasts who had not yet activated. the Legion player conceded, as the likely hood of thaggy surviving that were slim to none.

I don't believe you can make a gargantuan stationary, hence no extra dice for Sorscha.

Your local players should definitely look into contrasts! With just a couple you can get a 50pts army painted in one evening as some of my local "I never thought I'd get my army painted until contrasts" players can attest

We just went with what was on her card for the feat, colossals don't show up to often so we didn't think about it.


As for the painting part, that would require them to

A want to paint (the legion player paints almost nothing for any of the games he plays, but he is starting to make an effort now that he has moved away from GW plastic).

or

B have the time. the troll player just dug out an old army he had stuffed in a box since he is actually trying to assemble and paint his skorne, his job requires some very long hours(days) away from home, so his time is limited.

The Trollblood army actually starts looking really cool! It's just the unfinished bases that stop them from being an awesome looking army already!

warmachine is stronk again.

Had some great games going on tonight. intorducing new players to the game.

game 1 was a veteran battle at 50 points of infantry machine-no casters or jacks/warbeasts

legion of everblight VS crucible guard.

Spoiler:


Victory -legion

Game 2 was 2 brand new players with 2 new armies battling it out at 25 points.

retribution VS grimkin-not something you see all that often (Murder crows showed themselves after this pic was taken).

Spoiler:


victory-retribution

the grimkin player is thinking about doing a bird themed list with another clockatrice and more murder crows.

The final battle was a 50 point legion VS retribution battle.

I missed the first half of this fight. the retribution player had already lost most of his solo's and the legion player had lost a couple untis as well.

So tonight's first game i didn't get to see much of as i was off in my own game. one of our newer players is building out his skorne army so he only brought what he had so the list wasn't really optimal.

To many war beasts and not enough fury to go around.


Spoiler:


He has alot more for this army, he just has to assemble it. maybe this helps motivate him.

Spoiler:


The second game i played in.

Khador


Spoiler:


VS legion of everblight

Spoiler:


At first i didn't think it was going to badly but we had a bit of a rules mistake on the hell mouth which led me to mis-position several units allowing the legion player to make a caster assassination attempt on superme commandant Irusk(II) It would have been legions win had he not had 2 bad rolls and ran out of fury as he had gotten Irusk down to 5 wounds.

Spoiler:


As it turned out it became a reverse caster assassination, since it was about my only option with 6 models left and no jacks.
fortunately, he had his caster right up in front of mine thanks to his murder spree to try and kill him.

I'm moving closer to Tacoma. Once I get all settled in I'll send you a PM. I'm reading up on list building since I'm new to warmahordes.

It is very easy to do-pick the models you like and then find a warcaster/warlock who best fits your army.

you can look through everything on the privateer press card database for free to see which one works best.

I play khador specifically because i wanted clam jacks and the gun carriage. i ended up going with irusk II because he is a great support caster. i picked up sorcha I later when i added more melee elements to my army for an alternate build.

our grimkin player is expanding his army. got his skin and moans in as well as his harvest wagon. he was trying out the heretic for his castor this game.

We did a brutal game against my manowar centric army with irusk II. i got pretty mauled this game. the devastator was down to about 4 boxes with just his movement and right arm left.

Spoiler:



Spoiler:


i got lucky in the very end with my man o war striker tank and pulled off a narrow victory.

Spoiler:


Spoiler:


Spoiler:



I watched a bit of game 2 VS legion of everblight. the legion player was running a couple models he had never tried out.


Spoiler:



turns out he found a combination death blossom bomb completely by accident. apparently, the seraph can grab and drag a model with him and place it within 2" after it finishes its move.

So, he grabbed his forsaken (with 5 attack dice) and dropped it in the middle of the grimkin army for lethal effect

So our legion player found a deal on a bunch of menoth stuff and boom-new army to try out.


Spoiler:


The battle for game 1 was against the retribution force.

Turns out those combined fire AOE rocket tubes are painful enough to even hurt the elves


Spoiler:



Spoiler:


Game 2 the circle player pitted his wolves and the storm raptor colossal against the church.


Spoiler:

This game ended up being far closer than the first with both warcasters/worlocks badly hurt.

Menoth barely squeaked out a win with a last minute castor kill.

One fo the guys remembered to bring in his objective markers, so we did something a bit different tonight.

The everblight player got a new battle engine (the throne). I also just got all my updated unit cards so we were both trying out some new stuff.

Objective wise my forces were just too slow to capture points. but it was still a fun game overall.

On a small side note, because of the points cost changes i was actually under enough to put in a second gobber tinker, but i had to run a proxy since i do not actually currently own 2

With the newest updates for WM/H i managed to have some extra points left over so i picked up a few used models to add to my force.

I now have all 3 of the clam jacks, which is the reason i chose to play khador to begin with, and i added a full battle mechanic squad as well as an officer attachment for it.

The battle tonight was a 50 point game VS menoth.

A with a large chunk of my force being both steady and sturdy as well as having a couple models with "girded" added to irusk IIs solid ground it turned out i was much more resilient than i thought.

It did take my entire army 2 turns to kill off all his pikemen, but then their mini feat bumped the units armor up to 23 IIRC.

The mechanics and the tinker were the MVPs of this game. my jacks and manowar solos took piles of damage, without the repairs i definitely would have had a different game.

The game turned out to be pretty intense as well.

Skorne is back! and with more bling!

this is actually a 75 point game at the request of the skorne player because he finally got his hydra built.

This game was way closer than i thought it would be. there was quite a bit of back and forth the hydra was big and scary so it got plenty of attention.

The grimkin player managed to clear out the left side of the board enough to get at the skorne warlock before the heavy spearman could swing around from the right.

the choice of the ghost dog warbeast was questioned by the grimkin player at first but it turns out it was key to locking down the skorne warlock. it turned out to be a narrow grimkin win and a very entertaining game to watch.

A little something different today-king of the hill!

a single center flag on top of an open hill.


On one side my khador-a new infantry heavy (or is that heavy infantry-rather redundant) list using the newest updates-the other side was the elves of retribution.

Spoiler:



I went second, the objective was to take and hold the objective in 5 turns-this was turn 1

Spoiler:


I was locked down on the left flank, his elves are quite a bit faster than me (as one would expect of khador) so they got in the middle first. the combination of my heavy armor and mechanics was giving me the edge in that fight.

My manOwar unit and officer managed to swing right, take down his snipers,,,,,,


Spoiler:


And that is when i popped my feat, this gave me pathfinder for one turn. i had to expose Irusk a bit to pull it off but it allowed my devastator and manOwar units to charge the hill. between the assault move and rain of death i cleared most of the hill.

Spoiler:


Last turn of the game i sent the devestator and last manOwar trooper after his jack holding the objective. rain of death came through again and gave me the win.

It has been a long time since i have gotten a WM/H game in, been playing to many other games.

It has also been a while since the behemoth has been on the table.


This game was a 50 point king of the hill battle with a 5 turn limit.

i was fighting grimkin.

Spoiler:



i gave him the the option of 3 different lists, he chose to fight the one i call my cav list since it has the gun carriage and drakun in it, that is about as many horses as i have.

Spoiler:


Khador was never going to win the foot race so i sent my fast units to flank his force to the right and threaten his warcast while setting up my force to counter charge the hill.

On the bottom turn 4 ( i went second) i popped my feat for Irusk II giving my units pathfinder. this got my behemoth on top of the hill killing off his piggybacks. turn 5 i sent in the devastator as well. opening up a direct line of fire to his warcaster. it was a gamble that paid off as he had a skin&moans contesting the hill. i got good damage and killed his warcaster (the heretic)-

It has been a bit of a break but i am back with more 50 point battle reports from the game matrix-

I have 3 lists set up for my Khador force and i let my opponent choose which list. this time around he went for the 3 clam jack/small squad infantry list.

He was running a new Skorne list with 4 heavy warbeasts he wanted to try out so we were somewhat evenly matched. as one would expect with mirrored armies that are slow with very little long range shooting it turned into a bloodbatch.

I didn't know what his beasties did so i killed the one in the front first. turns out it was the right move as that was his best one that gave armor bonuses to the rest.

i sent the devestator and the manowar unit off on a suicide mission after granting the infantry a bit of battle lust.

That being said MVP for the game goes to the suppression tank manowar solo. at first he was just working the enemy infantry but after the striker tank died i switched fire for effect onto him and he destroyed the last of the Skorne army including the enemy warcaster.


The Skorne side

Spoiler:


The Khador side

Spoiler:


A bit of maneuvering brings the battle lines together.

Spoiler:


The battle is joined-

Spoiler:


The ranks are thinned on both sides-

Spoiler:


Endgame

Well this wasn't 50 points per say, jut 50 points per player...that turns out to be 200 points per side.

Thats right an all infantry front line battle between beasts and mechines-


khador, cygnar and crucible guard

Spoiler:



trying to hold off a combined force of - legion, skorne and grimkin.

Spoiler:



This was a linebreaker mission, the more horde forces across the defense line was more victory points.

We set it out as an 8 turn game but i think 6 would have been enough considering all that happened.


Attackers started 10" in and defenders held the halfway point on a 6X4 table.

The attackers also held 2 murders of crows and Skorne assassins to outflank.

Spoiler:


The left flank of the defenders line held pretty strong at first. the right side not so much, a series of bad dice rolls facing off against a supported battle engine doesn't end well-

Spoiler:


The out flankers hit and messed up the lines pretty bad. \\

The left still had a chance but the right was breached. (seriously my striker manowar could not do more than 3 damage each shot the entire game )

Giving the horde force a solid victory.

Spoiler:


It was a bit different way to play and was interesting fun, although next time we do something like this i think we need to limit it to 2 players per side.

I am eagerly waiting for the moment your fellow players FINALLY(!) paint their stuff.

Like, seriously guys, take some Contrasts and an evening later you have a painted force. It is that easy.

As for the game, it must have been awesome I have played a few multiplayer WM&H games myself and they are always a blast. Players who limit themselves to 75pts SR only are missing on a lot of fun.

The skorne and krimkin players are slowly getting their stuff painted. the legion player will never paint anything for any game he plays unless he pays somebody to do it. there were two players running trenchers., one had a partially painted army as part of his greater cygnar force, he just has a stupid huge pile of shame from a bunch of different game systems he has not gotten around to painting (he does a great job when he does paint). the other trencher player has trouble painting due to physical limitations so his spouse usually does the painting, but they also have a stupid amount of minis to paint as well.

Thanks for the pics.
