Warmachine Two Player Battle Box & Dice Arrivals

Posted by Unknown

I've gone ahead and pre-ordered the Warmachine two player battle box, yay! Menoth for me and Khador for Vinsanity. I imagine I'll be doing quite a few "look at me I'm new!" articles as we start playing some small games and I imagine Vince might post once or twice about this - don't hold your breath though! I imagine we will only be playing with the battle box contents initially as we learn the ropes and there are several others interested in joining up such as Loriness and others we play 40k with. Again, not a changing of the guard or banishment of 40k but rather an incorporation of another gaming system thanks to our strong disagreement with Games Workshop decisions lately. Plus, it looks fun ^^.

Also, dice have started arriving to customers which I'm glad to hear. There was a delay in sending the European/Australian ones with a post office lady being dumb. Seriously, if a parcel fits through the 22mm slot, it should be priced at 22mm yes? Not any bigger. Moronic woman. *goes to next post office* oh look, they fit through! *charges for 22mm*. Rocket science I know - yes I'm bitter ^^. Anyway they were all sent early this week so Australians should be getting them now/soon and Europeans late this week if you're lucky otherwise next week. Enjoy and if you're still looking to buy, 2nd wave order is still on offer.

I'm currently pinning my Cygnar force together, and I have 2 friends who have played at a number of tournaments and done well, if you want to meet up sometime.

Jason! I'll have to go over Cygnar with you, I think I have a double up on a caster or two I can trade to you for something, certainly once I pull my finger out I'll have a lot more heavy jacks you can borrow if I'm not using them. :) We need a game of something mate, been saying it for ages now, but yeah. :)

I'm also a new Warmachine player (went for Cryx) - have to say it's a great system. I was into 40K and WHFB for close on 10 years, but never enjoyed them as much as WM. I must say I think GW puts out better minis, but PP's system is really excellent.

Great choice, the Menoth starter in there gives two heavy jacks as opposed to the one, and it gives people the rare(by army list standards) Cinerators. One thing to recommend, magnetize, magnetize, magnetize. Once you get into it, you'll understand.

I have over 100 points of Cygnar and over 100 points of Cryx (it's mostly heavy jacks heh) so I might get involved...Cygnar for me (ALWAYS wanted mercrenaries, subbed in merc armies since the first NQ#4 articles for a full army), cryx though, if anyone round abouts is interested, I'd be up for selling...it's all metal, heck there's even some black and white cards in that lot, hehe. ;p

Be good to know how you two get along Kirby and Vinsanity. :)

Out of curiosity, anyone have a good way to round the starter to two 25 pt forces that are relatively balanced against each other?

I am also interested in this.

As an aside, Cryx starter any good?

Cryx Starter = Excellent. Denny is a real bitch, period. As for the Starter Box, the easiest quickies are the Winterguard for Khador and the Choir for Menoth. The Hierophant or the Vassal of Menoth are excellent final additions to round it out for 25 points. Either a combo of solos and Winterguard Units will work here.

The Khador side comes to 20 points. With 5 points, you could get Widowmakers and a Wardog, or the character unit the Great Bears. You will probably want to pick up a unit of Winterguard Infantry, their Officer and Standard, and the character Kovnik Jozef Grigorovitch to expand to 35 points.

The Menoth side comes to 21 points. Here I would pick up a minimum unit of Choir and a Vassal to bring it to 25. For 35, you may wish to pick up a unit of Exemplars Errant and their Officer and Standard, which is 10 points. One option here would be dropping the Repenter and Crusader, and adding in a Reckoner and a two-point solo of your choice, perhaps an Exemplar Errant Seneschal or a Hierophant.

Cool, thanks for the advice guys. I'm quite happy with my Skorne but my group may pick up the starter as a comunal effort, adding some variety to low point games while we come to grips with everything.
