WarMachine, starting a new army - Part I
The mood has struck again drawing me to a new army. This time there is a difference as I am venturing into the new realm of mkii Hordes. Hordes or WarMahince it means more plastic and metal to buy and paint, new tactics to learn, as well as new rules. Here is how I go about this new endeavor.
What army should I play? I have gone done this road before with mki Hordes and never “pulled the trigger”. I have never 100% been crazy about any of the model from Hordes so have evaded it up until now. Well since mkii was released for WarMachine I have fallen in love all over again with WarMachine so when Hordes mkii was announced I figured this would be a great time for me to jump into the new ruleset of Hordes. So the game as a whole had me but what faction will I go with? Off to the Gallery on the Privateerpress.com website to go model by model and see what draws me. Another thing that sways me when I start a new army in any system is “Can I get this fully painted?” I love more than anything to play a “fully painted” army so this is a concern. Currently I am having loads of fun running my Retribution so I don’t want to abandon them but I have gotten a new caster and have lots more to paint on that front. So I decide to go beast heavy for the reason of less to paint. Next visit is the privateerpress.com forums and do a search on beast heavy armies. Circle, Skorne, or Legion. Skorne is out because it reminds me of Khador which I already have. I am just not a huge fan of the Legion models, dragons are awesome but these are different. Circle for the win!
I am a big fan of podcasts since getting an iTouch. I listen to D6 Generation, Iron Agenda, and Focus and Fury. So I decided to send an email to Josh @ The Iron Agenda asking him about Circle and beast heavy. Well they reviewed my email on the show and gave me great ideas. Now I am ready to run with my Circle beast heavy list recommend be an experienced Circle player.
Now I have to get the models. This actually worked out really well, being a Press Ganger for Privateer Press I have accumulated PG points so I was able to pickup my whole Circle army using these.
Part II = painting and playing
