Warmachine Journeyman – Week 12

This week was the final week of the Journeyman league, so it was the last chance to get in points via painting or winning to get a shot at the Destroyer Award.  At 75 points, it’s a bit harder to get in multiple games, so I only planned on getting one game in, and, of course, I wanted to square off against Ian.  This game had a lot riding on it – if he beat me, he would definitely clinch the Destroyer Award with three or four Destroyer points.  On the other hand, if I won, I would have a good shot at getting a third Destroyer point and tying up the race to the finish.

Warmachine Journeyman – Week 10

After playing a massive two-vs-two game last week, everyone at the shop decided to take a break this week.  Rather than get any games in for the league (or, really, any games in at all), we all just pulled up a chair to the counter shared our favorite music videos and chatted about whatever came to mind.  This was just the thing that I needed to cap my weekend (after the excitement of the week), so it was a very welcome change of pace.

However, just because I didn’t get any gaming in, I did manage to get Brun Cragback and Lug painted – pictures after the jump. Continue reading Warmachine Journeyman – Week 10

Warmachine Journeyman – Week 9

Another odd week, another escalation week!  This is the week I’ve been waiting for, as I finally get to add in my big model – the Hammerfall Siege Crawler.  When I first started thinking about how I wanted to escalate a Rhulic list, this was what I wanted to do…  …And then I found out a couple of weeks in that the model wasn’t actually available yet.  I struggled with this for quite a while, and finally decided that I would proxy the model with the Rhulic Colossal instead.

That being said, here is my list for this two week block: Continue reading Warmachine Journeyman – Week 9

Warmachine Journeyman – Week 8

Last week I didn’t win a single game, so I was really torn this week as to whether I wanted to change up my list a bit or nail it down and move forward.  I had the chance to do this because our shop is doing something a little different with our Journeyman league: Since we are doing two-week blocks with especially new players, it made sense to allow everyone to experiment during the first week of the block and then lock everything down during the second week.  After thinking it over, and looking at my block five and six options, I decided to stick with it.  Also, I would have been really disappointed to let go of Thor.

Warmachine Journeyman – Week 7

Week seven of the Journeyman league is a big week – not only is it the largest single escalation week (increasing the number of points by 25 to a total of 50), but it also allows a warcaster/warlock swap.  This allows for a lot of cool stuff and the lists that people are bringing this week are pretty neat.  My list, on the other hand, looks pretty lackluster, as I’m still saving up a few points for week nine (no spoilers, but you can probably guess).  That being said, my list is just after the jump.
