Nice Bill! Thinking of starting a Batlog, gonna bring my camera down to Tates Sunday to report some of my games. Hope your enjoying WM/H.

I am. It's very different, but very cool.
I should have the rest of my models built today so I'm ready to try some new things.

Awesome. Just txt me or send me a PM if your free for a game.

You guys HAVE to put up battle reports. I'm a total noob with both Retribution AND Khador, so it just happens that you got my total attention.

I'm still reading through the new Mk2 rules. The biggest problem I have is getting a real feel for the game - right now I have a very cursory understanding of the stats so it's hard for me to gauge what's good beyond "high numbers in stat X"

Any beginner tips, either of you?

Biggest tip is simply to start playing as many games as you can with a battlebox or 15pts. The game is extremely easy to understand when put into practice and very easy to get into. Stop by Tate's on a Sunday if you get a chance and I'll be more than glad to get you up to speed on the rules and mechanics. If you have any questions on Khador then feel free to ask!

Bill,
Didn't know you were getting into WM/H... I still have my entire Skorne army which has been collecting dust.

I need the new cards though.. but maybe we can get together at some point to play down at Sunshine too ?

Yeah, I vote for Sunshine. While I appreciate the offer for Tate's, that's actually really far from me. I live literally 3 blocks from Sunshine.

@Steph - I've been playing 1 week. I find it quite fun. All you need is the MKII stat card deck for your faction.

I'll gladly play you guys at Sunshine, but as an FYI - the Tate's group is about 18 strong so you can get alot of different games in if you drive up for the day.

Huh, could have sworn I replied to this a few hours ago, must have hit the preview button lol. Anyway, no problem vycem, I hope you guys get a good group down there. Bill knows a lot of the rules and can get you guys up to speed. I'd head down to Sunshine, but it would have to be a once a month thing.

What's the busiest WM day at Tate's?

I got 25pts of Circle laying around. I played MKII over the summer so I have the weird PDF cards they had out at the time. But, I could easily pick them up and play over at sunshine.

Sunday typically, theres now a month break until the next part of the league starts up tho. Still, you should have no trouble finding a game.

I know this Board has tended to center around Sunshine , but the guys who own Outland station opened up a store in Kendall. It's in the same shopping plaza as Chuckwagon, on 117th ave between sunset and kendall drive.

The owner there Marc, told me that Warmachine/Hordes guys play there every Thursday night, and that they've got a pretty good group of guys who are more into casual gaming than tournaments.

There's a fellow Gabe, not the tall, passionate fellow that ran warmachine at Joel's a while back, but the other Gabe who also plays Blood Bowl. He's kind of the coordinator.

I got no problem playing at Joel's, but I may go check out this group one of these weeks. I need to get the deck first though.

Update the Outland Station game info Steph and let me know when you want to meet and play. 0-2 today. UG!

I really wanted to get a game in with you, but my game took forever!

8 - W/35 - Kaelyssa vs. Old Witch (Khador)..... Major attrition win. Only 5 models left on the table when it finally ended.

Crazy game today! Those mage hunters are no joke lol

Excellent game Mike. I thought I had you lined up after turn 2, but you mounted one nasty come back. What a blood bath.

The Strike Force are great, but I was happier about finally using the Phoenix correctly. It was the arc node support to land the backlash (from safty) that let the MHSF do their real damage. Picking up on the other Eyriss tricks helped too.

Yep that disruption bolt + stationary trick is nasty lol!

Not sure if you've seen these Bill but I just got in the new No Quarter and theres two new retribution units in Wrath that they give the rules for. The first is a Heavy rifle team. The Heavy sniper rifle is a large base, has a rng of 14 and a pow of 7; but it also has armor piercing (arm gets cut in half). The next is the artificer who is a medium base, has 8 wounds and 3 spells. First spell gives +2 def against ranged attacks while within 3inches of the artificer, the next is a rng 10, pow 13 magic attack (after resolving damage, you can push models within 2 inches of the effected model 1 inch toward or away!) and the last is a spell that makes enemy models unable to charge him in his front arc.

Pretty interesting; the rifle crew looks pretty cool at only two points; on a khador jack it'll do dice minus 3 for damage.

Cool to see the stats for the new stuff.

My plan for my next 50 points:

Discordia 10
Max Invictors + UA 12
2xThane 8 (what's a chess game with no knights?!)
Battle Engine 10

I have 10 to play with.

Venethrax win.....
3 points from Backlash as I pin-cushioned his light arc node (round 2)
5 points from a boosted ranged hit from the Manticore (round 3)
10 points from a charging Kaelyssa (16 on 3d6) as the dice gods say YES!

Very nice! Also to let you know Bill, Tates is going to host a Steamroller Tournament April 17th. Sign ups are here, just create an account and sign up. Erik just announced it, but I'm assuming that they'll be using the steamroller 2011 format and rules.

I like him. The face is a bit odd to me, but the rest of the model is pretty cool.
