Podcast 020 – Retribution Vs. Skorne – Don’t Take My Word for it.

This week I am matched up against Kassem who is playing his Skorne.  We both make 2 lists that we were working on for an upcoming tournament…

I brought a Tier 4 eVyros list with Lots of Griffons and Destors and a Ravyn list that I wanted to try out against his Skorne to see how it handled the armour.

Ravyn
*Hyperion
Max HG Halberdiers + UA
Max HG Riflemen + UA
Min MHSF + UA
HG Thane
Arcanist
Aiyanna & Holt

The idea behind this list is I get bunch of high-power shots in with Hyperion and CRAs with the Riflemen

His lists were a Xerxis brick list and a Makeda3 list:

Makeda + The Exhalted Court
*Mammoth
*Cyclops Raider
*Molik Karn
*Gladiator
Max Beast Handlers
Tyrant Commander and Standard

Podcast 013 – Well, Sometimes You Forget Stuff and Lose Games.

This weeks Warmachine battle sees the likes of the cold-hearted Khadoran juggernaut charge slowly toward the equally slow but probably less chilly goliath that is Skorne. My opponent Kassem and I decided on a 50pt two list format using 10 minute turns with one 5 minute overage per game. The scenario we played was Fire Support: two flags, one friendly objective a piece (artillery models within 4″ gain boost damage rolls) and Killbox.

Two apologies regarding the audio for this week’s podcast:
1. We somehow managed to lose about 5 minutes of recording. I blame Marc.
2. The audio quality for the first minute or so is sub-standard. It improves right after Nick puts up his hand to talk about news and announcements, though, so I blame Nick.

Kassem’s list was as follows:

pMorghoul
– Tiberion
– Molik Karn
– Titan Gladiator
– Archidon
– Aptimus Marketh
Nihilators (full)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (min)
Mort. Will Breaker
Void Spirit
Tyrant Commander (Tycomm)

My list went a little something like this. Actually it went exactly like this:

pIrusk
– War Dog
– Behemoth
– Kodiak
Great Bears
Assualt Kommandos (full)
Iron Fang Kovnik
Doom Reavers
– Greylord Escort
Widowmakers
Yuri the Axe
Manhunters (x2)

We rolled for turns and had to do two roll-offs which I eventually won and chose to go second. By the way, whenever I say ‘roll-off’ I think of that TLC show Little People, Big World about that family of midgets. Sorry, that’s not PC. I think they prefer to be called Ugnaughts.

Podcast 011 – Combo Battle Report 2

DSC02578
2 more Battle Reports this week.

The plan initially was to just report on Marc’s game, but it ended up being two things:

1. Full of particularly stupid mistakes, and
2. Very, very brief.

And so we decided to report on both! Full write ups will follow, but for now at least you can listen!
