Warmachine/Hordes

[linklord231]

Anybody here play it?  One of the players in my weekly group just got into it and it sounds pretty cool.

I have Legion of Everblight, if you want giant eyeless landsharks that is the place to go.

Yup, that's what my buddy plays.  Actually he uses some of those models for his wildshaped druid and animal companion.  I was looking at maybe Trollbloods or Circle Orboros.

What type of models are you particually attracted to? Warbeasts? Units?

Circle has some really good beast casters, trollbloods less so. If you want to run a beast heavy list Circle would be a lot stronger. Personally I think the Warpwolf Stalker is one of the best models in the range (plus Berserk is epic against certain things)

[linklord231]

That's the issue 
If I run trolls, it would be mostly units.  If I run Circle, it would be mostly beasts. 

Also, I haven't decided whether or not I like the painting aspect of the hobby yet - If I don't particularly enjoy painting, I'd be better off running a beast heavy list (fewer models to paint).  If it turns out I really like it, I'd be better off running a unit heavy list.

Circle can run troops too or a mix fairly well. Trolls just don't run beasts well.

Bear in mind that even a troop heavy list will need 2-3 warbeasts to generate fury from.


Painting is fun on occasion, however I have never met anyone who enjoys painting hordes of models. It is a bit of a chore even if you like painting...


Best advice would be to find someone to split the two player box with if you go circle. Trolls are not so lucky but as far as I am aware their starter box is pretty good if a little redundant.

The Privateer press forums are relatively active and have a lot of good advice on them.

Battlecollege is also a good source of information, it has reviews of every model in the game with a breakdown of each ability. Not something to rely on if you are a tournament level player but for a beginner it is excellent.

The battle engines and collosals have provided interesting painting opportunities but can someone answer a question for me.

How hard is if for the throne of everblight to model.

Forgot about this thread

I'm not sure I understand the question - are you asking how hard it is to assemble/put together?


I got the 2 player Warmachine battle box for Christmas.  Got a couple of them painted, but I tend to go really slowly cuz I'm a little bit of a perfectionist.  I really like the game so far

I played Protectorate of Menoth, then Retribution of Scryah. Scryah is freakin amazing.
