Welcome to One Too Many Factions, a blog about Warmachine and Hordes which will encapsulate many topics about the hobby including Painting and Modelling, Battle and Tournament Reports and many random subjects in between.
Before we go any further, a little about me and how I came to find Warmachine.
In the summer of 2012, a new hobby shop (unfortunately it didn’t last long) opened in Preston. It stocked all sorts of wonderful goodies, and was a delightful little place and a great distraction from Games Workshop (yes, we all know 40k was/is the entry ‘drug’ to wargaming). The then Press Ganger started a Journeyman League, and, interested in the rule set and loving the aesthetic of Protectorate models, I dived in head first with Kreoss1 and his battlebox.
Fast forward to the end of the Journeyman, I had 2 painted 35pt lists and went to my first tournament! My pairing of Kreoss1 and Severius1 got slaughtered, but it was great! I played against genuinely nice people (who I still play against and with to this day), and that was me firmly on the path to financial ruination and one too many factions! (edit: I found the lists in an old Evernote file!)
I now find myself playing Cryx (which I started collecting about a year before the end of MK2 I hasten to add!), but have taken Protectorate and Circle Orboros to UK Nationals in recent history, and have taken Mercenaries to Blood and Oil.
I currently own: Cryx, Protectorate, Circle, Mercenaries, Minions and Cygnar (the less said about Cygnar the better).
So now, you can see why the blog is called “OneTooManyFactions”…
