Nice.. version 3.1.1 loaded without complaints

I don't play it but there is a pretty big game going on right now at yotta quest. Like 5 tables worth...

Will get this loaded up, and check it out...thanks for the link Matt

Edit: So I downloaded it, and it is leaps and bounds ahead of the 40K module. Also, from what I gather it is approved by PP...I was reading in the forums that they are just waiting on the approval of PP to release the MKII module.

So on that note I will brush up on my Warmachine rules and see if I can get some games in.

They don't have Retribution.......

That's because they are a MKII army, you could just use another faction and change the model label, its some work but with the small number of models it shouldn't take long.

Like I said above I think they are just waiting on PP to approve the MKII Vassal stuff

Way ahead of you bro.....build my 35 pt army and did that last night....

Ready for some lessons!

Do you have cards and such to reference for abilities or a rulebook?

I got the army book. Nice PDF find from my source....however....need the rule book....GRRR....that's not on the web...

But I know where you got it !!! Warmachine players welcome @ Eastside games N Cards ! Warpacks are $40 here remember?

Hordes/Warmachine is my primary miniatures game. We have a very steady group every wednesday night at Yotta Quest. We sometimes meet other times if you ask. Our group has been playing together for about a year and we have 6 or more new players already since January. Usually we have between 4 and 16 people show up. It just depends, but everyone is getting geared up for Gencon so come up, everyone will be there. And 50 dollars for a strater isn't bad, it's much smaller scale battles than 40k, and there is a lot more strategy with what you do with each model. 40k is a lot about movement and how many dice you can roll, WM/H is more about each model. They each do attacks seperate and can attack all different stuff. If your going with Hordes the MKII books come out in July.
My name is Shane Coates and we have a warmachine/hordes podcast going now at www.theprimegeneration.com. Check it out

Yes each model/Unit has stat cards that show you everything you need to know.

We hope to see you soon.

What points you guys play? I am trying to build a Cryx force between 35 - 50, with 50 being max I will go..I already have a big army game. Want to keep this small.

35 and 50 seem to be most common.

Eastside Games N Cards now has a PRESSGANGER to run WARMACHINE -HORDES events and to teach some NEWBIES ! He said Sunday the 30th at Eastside Games N Cards ! http://eastsidegamesncards.webs.com

Nice I may come up and check it out...is Memorial Weekend so not sure whats up yet.

Why is everyone I speak to is doing Cryx? Excellent minis or the rules?

There are only 5 Warmachine Factions or 6 with Mercs and 4 for Hordes. So not really that many choices, and with the smaller model count I know of a few people that have multiple armies. Some armies also just aren't that good or "as" competitive so people just wont play them. The other thing is like in 40k you have people that have models and intentions of playing 5 factions/armies but in reality wont ever play or they may just for 2 or 3 games.

Cryx is actually a more difficult army to learn, but once you figure it out it will devastate most factions. They are pretty much a assassinate the other faction Warcaster. You figure out how to circumnavigate other models with stealth and arc-nodes and just collect the "W".... and yea the models are amazing looking.

I have been Cryx from the start, Monty is going Khador, and Dennis was playing Circle in our little crew.

Retribution here.....and I'm about 25-30 pts

Cryx minis are sweet and good rules. Competitively Cryx and Khador seem to win almost every tourny

I have a PressGanger comeing on Sunday the 30th to run events and teach newbies! Call for times but I thinck around 2 he should be here!
