Tactics: Captain Kara Sloan

With hair that even Cloud Strife himself would be jealous of, Kara Sloan brings style to the rest of Cygnar.  With her trusty sniper rifle, Spitfire, Sloan lays down loads of fire, and punishes her opponents for even getting close.

Here comes battle report number two!  eKreuger faced off against Calandra, and tried to twist fate.  He was, however, very unsuccessful, and Calandra could see all his tricks coming from a mile away!  In the end, Kreuger got chopped in half by a large group of champions.

3.21.11 Privateer Insider - Domination Information (Or Lack Thereof)

On today's Privateer Insider, David Carl, the Development Manager for Privateer Press, "spoiled" some info about Hordes: Domination.  I'm sure he would have released the unedited version if he could have, but oh well.

Lylyth, Herald of Everblight

Now for the final of the four Hordes battle box casters!  Renowned hunter and tracker, Lylyth relies on the perfect vision that Everblight grants her, and not on the imperfect vision of her mortal eyes.  As the Herald of Everblight, Lylyth spreads the influence of Everblight by killing all that oppose.

Claw 'n Fang at 25 points

As promised, here is my rendition of the best Hordes casters for the Hordes equivalent of Mangled Metal.  Again, as a disclaimer, this is by no means an exhaustive list of what might be good or competitive, nor do I believe warlocks not covered here to be incompetent in the MM format.  Without further adieu:

Mangled Metal at 25 points

We have a Mangled Metal tournament coming up at the local game store.  I went through all of the factions, thinking about which warcaster/warlock would be good at a 25 point level running only warjacks or warbeasts.  Now, this is in no way an exhaustive list, nor is it the best 'caster/'lock for the job, but there are some very appropriate choices for each faction.

Introduction

Hey everyone.  My goal for this blog is to chat about anything and everything Warmahordes.  I have been playing Warmachine and Hordes for a year and a half so far, and I feel that I have some views and opinions that are worth sharing.

Throughout the course of this blog, I will be reviewing new models, doing tactics articles for models, old and new, and speculating on spoiled pictures.  I will also do occasional battle and tournament reports, if I feel there is something new and worthwhile to share from them.

I hope you all enjoy reading this blog!  Feel free to leave any questions and comments!
