Dealing with Bullshit

A large part of WarmaHordes that differs from 40k/Fantasy is the prevalence of power combos. Lash of Submission and Obliterators are one of the primary examples from 40k. A decent power and a great unit used in combination can lead to an even greater result than either used in isolation. This sort of thing is much more common and every faction has access to differing amounts of what I affectionately call "Bullshit". The definition of Bullshit can vary from person to person, but usually it consists of multiple parts working together to not only have a synergistic effect, but to have an effect to such an extent that it usually elicits rage, whining, or even complete surprise from an opponent. If you pull off something and your opponent's response is something like this.....

Things to know for those beginning WarmaHordes

A lot of the times when I start a new game I enter into in to it with certain preconceptions I have about games based on games I have played in the past. Usually these preconceptions will transform into actual knowledge of the game system. However a lot of times these result in pain and heartache (and Night Elf melee Hunters!) before you reach a point of comfort with a new game. Here are some basic things that one should know as they get into WarmaHordes so they can make educated decisions right from the start.

1) When deciding on a faction to start off with make sure that they fit your play style.

I started playing WarmaHordes with Cryx. I love undead. I would say that 90% or more of my movie collection involves either zombies, vampires, or some other miscellaneous undead-ish type monstrosity. If Ed Wood came back to life and decided to co-direct a remake of the Twilight series with Uwe Boll I would probably be the first person (maybe only person) in line to see it. I also happen to like shooting heavy armies. Which is a major problem as when was the last time someone was worried about being shot by a zombie? You could name a couple of Romero movies where a zombie used a gun, but that is the exception and not the rule. Generally the undead are the ones being shot at and not the other way around.
