Recently, a few guys on Twitter (primarily Jay Larsen) have done lists of thoughts on Warmachine and gaming in general. This seemed to me like a great place to start a blog. So without further adieu and in no particular order.
- The Derp Turtle (Skorne Siege Animantarix) needs to become a construct. I’ve heard the arguments about it being busted with Zaal2 if that happens, but at least it will stop paingivers tickling it for 3 damage and consequentially it getting 3 rage tokens.
- The Avatar of Menoth is an amazing model, the new sculpt even more so. I’d actually buy it the model if there was the slightest chance of me playing it, unfortunately, it’s deep into the category of “model greater than rules”.
- Everyone who keeps tagging Privateer Press staffers on Facebook posts in a vain attempt to get their opinions acknowledged and ratified should have a bloody strong word with themselves and stop it before those staffers just plain stop interacting with us all.
- In my opinion, the Warmachine community is one of (if not thee) greatest wargaming communities there is. People leave the game and years later talk about the desire to play just to be part of the community again.
- Tournaments are not just for competitive players. Everyone should attend tournaments if you enjoy the game. It’s something different, and challenges you in a different way to the games you often play against friends. Also, you get to see loads of really cool and interesting lists and interactions that you probably would never see in your small community and it may lead you into buying other factions!
- Not everybody can paint models like Dallas Kemp, but, that shouldn’t stop you from trying. Games with fully painted armies are so much more enjoyable for you and your opponent.
- Just because the internet says your wrong, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it. Experiment, have fun, be a snowflake occasionally!
- Circle Orboros Warpwolves should all be MAT7 and at LEAST 1 point lower in cost. The character Warpwolves should be MAT8.
- Steamroller 2017 is the best steamroller pack I’ve played ever, and was the missing piece of the MK3 puzzle. It still has problems though and is far from perfect.
- The loss of the PG programme has definitely impacted the game in the UK, and it’s timing was (IMHO) detrimental to MK3 and it’s uptake.
