Thagrosh1 is a warlock that has really benefitted from some of the changes that came with SR2013. He can be pretty hard to take down and in an attrition game he has some tools that help him get on top. Let’s start with the basics – Thagrosh…
Coming into the final two games of our campaign Peter’s Gremlins has a decent lead of 4 VPs over my Guild crew. Just to recap the Guild minions have been recklessly hunting Gremlins for meat and Orphelia has decided it’s payback time (read …
This is the final game in the campaign Phil and I have been playing based on the excellent campaign rules in Wyrd Chronicles 5. After three games so far there is nothing to choose between us – we are on the same number of game wins and we are eve…
I had great fun playing in Operation Sealion last year. Starting on June 16th and running for 6 weeks the guys at WWPD (in cooperation with Battlefront) will be running a global Flames of War campaign based on Operation Overlord. I’m looking forw…
I had my first opportunity to play this game last Friday and what a fun game it is. The idea is relatively simple – players are trying to complete connections between different stations and get points for the length of track they lay. This is don…
Game 3 of our campaign was again a 30ss affair and as you can see from the Turn 7 screenshot, it turned out to be quite a bloodbath. We used the same crews as the last game, but for this game Phil was down a Punk Zombie due to injury. I’m really …

A game plan, eh? It’s hard to predict how any game of Warmachine/Hordes will go, but it’s always worthwhile having a game plan. This plan should be pretty concrete in terms of how your force deploys and how you’d like the first turn w…
A while ago I posted about some Neglected Toys (Warcasters and Warlocks) that were gathering dust. With the beginners tournament coming up I decided it was time to bring some of those toys out to play, so I rolled on the D10 chart and here’s what I got. The first list is reserved for veteran [...]

This is a brief report for Game 2 in our campaign. When we kicked it off we were using the playtest version of the Malifaux campaign rules which have since been officially released in Wyrd Chronicles 5 (PDF). I recommend checking them out as this is a very fun way to play Malifaux. It’s a [...]
Following hot on the heals of Incursion here is the low down on Close Quarters. Close Quarters Disclaimer: As before, this is not a substitute for reading the scenario and SR2013 document!

There are twelve different scenarios in Steamroller 2013 and getting to grips with them can be pretty daunting for a new tournament player. We have a tournament for newer players coming up in Dublin in the next few weeks and I thought I’d run through the scenarios you’re going to see there. Ciaran, the Event [...]
