Changes....

Yeah, that's right, some of you may have noticed a few minor changes around here... So perhaps an explanation for you then?

Although im still a hardcore 40Ker, i have been recently introducted (properly) into the Warmachine game system via Ski of B&C fame. Last friday i went off and purchased the first rulebook (Prime) and a lil blister packet (Satyxis Raiders). Im getting really interested in the system and its a nice welcome change from 40K (although dont worry, im still a 90% 40Ker first). However, at random times you will now hear musings of WM and its related systems and probably see pics of mins etc. Although the likliehood of me playing an actual game of WM is slim (due to the small crew based here in Perth), i of course will still endeavor to do what i can. Later this week im hoping to pick up yet another rulebook, most likely from the Hordes system, since im doing more of a research phase into the PP and its stuff rather than splurging left, right and centre on models (best to get a full understanding of the rules and the units before i confirm my army choices). However, standard WM wise im looking at Cryx, although the other forces do have some gorgeous looking minis.

However, any WM related stuff will also pop up here, so keep an eye on everything and my further increasing gaming addiction.

In more 40K based news, the Lion Guard termies are hopefully getting the bases SPRAYED today since its a bit too much effort to actively hand paint them. The Sisters are also coming along nicely with the metal work started last night, but my goodness, there is a fair bit of metal to touch on (mainly the bolter areas). I'll either take a new pic of them within the next few days or just post up the last pic that was taken since the blog is a tad bit behind.

Otherwise painting wise everything is going good :)

Check back in for further updates as they come.

changes...where??? ;)

Haven't heard much about Warmachine..but it sounds cool.

Do you have to paint & model the models (sounds kinda strange :P ).
And how far do they allow conversions etc.
How many armies are there..

I got tons of Q's :D

I've seen some Wm stuff around. It looks like fun. Cryx, eh? I knew Evil attracted you.

Evil attracted me? No my friend... i AM evil :D


Warmachine from what i can see is a 30 mm mini based game (very similar to 40K). Rules wise its similar, however it does have its own unique properties. You do indeed have to paint and assemble models, although the number of models are more limited than 40K, and you arent given the "luxury" of going on a converting frenzy as the units available are quite "static" (the game is highly focused on balance). But with each model you can convert it yes, so you need not use the stock model (you can add tweaks etc etc).

Standard Warmachine has 4 armies (Cryx, Menoth, Khador and Cygnar). Hordes also has 4 armies available.

Changes wise, the name of the blog and description changed :P Since the blog is no longer 100% 40K based.

Erwin said...

time of the season?... oh right. We're not that bunny focused.

Anyway, what's the difference between warmachine and hordes? I never really got that.

The Angelus Sanctus said...

WM is more based in Mechanical Technology, Ie their heavier support units are basicly tech based whilst in Hordes its more "organic" Ie everything from their basic units up to their heavy support units are all organic and not 'steam powered' as things are in WM.

However, although seperate systems, factions from both can still play against each other. I need to order stuff for my WM side of things, but Hordes wise, ive already got one starter box on layby (will probably pick it up next week).
