Kapitan Ekaterina Baranova vs. Marshal General Baldwin Gearhart

Crucible Guard is on the move again. The Liael radicalised youth is attempting to use the Orgoth invasion to stir unrest in the territories. The Empress has ordered Kapitan Ekatrina Baranova to stop Baldwin Gearhart. Curcible Guards tend to use all sorts of chemical tricks to mess with Khador armour. This battle is bloody, fast and fun.

Shock Trooper Pikemen - The Unpolished Gem?

The Shock Trooper Pikemen have long been sitting idle in the Khador barracks waiting for some action. Partly because other parts of the Khador military has been busy. Yet, also partly because I haven't been able to figure out what to do with them. Baranova brought four units to this year's WTC and they seem to be performing. So, here are some musing over what the Pikemen can do, which Warcasters do what, and how to polish the gem.

The Motherland at the WTC - third time's a charm? (day 2)

This is the third time in a row the Motherland goes to WTC. This year it is in Düsseldorf. Mark IV is now a real thing, compared to last year where it was very much in transition. So, I'm finally brining two proper Winter Korps lists. I'm bringing Tatiana, with all the Man-O-Wars and Baranova with a Mastodon. This is the second day of action. The first day went far over expectation. So, let's see how day two proceeds.

The Motherland at the WTC - third time's a charm? (day 1)

This is the third time in a row I go to the WTC. This year it is in Düsseldorf. Mark IV is now a real thing, compared to last year when it was in transition. So, I'm finally brining two proper Winter Korps lists. I'm bringing Tatiana, with all the Man-O-Wars and Baranova with a Mastodon. Based on previous experience, it is going to be a blast. Not only will  I get to play a lot of really nice people, I was also be taught a lesson or two on how you actually play Warmachine.

Kommander Tatiana Sikora vs. Lord Exhumator Scaverous

Cryx is at it again. After their loss by Skarre, Scaverous is send to the shores of Khador to wreck havoc. The Empress dispatches Kommander Sikor and her Man-O-Wars once againg to deal with the Cryx menace. This Cryx detachment consists of all lot of ghostwalking banes. It is a close one. Yet, all of this ghostwalking becomes troublesome for Tatiana.

Kommander Tatiana Sikora vs. Mechanik Adept Sparkhammer

Cygnar is on the move again. Probably encouraged by Madison Calder's success at the last crossroad. This time they are sending their Cadre 'caster Sparkhammer — and what a hammer it is. Tatiana is dispatched again to make up for her past mistakes. She is again bringing her Man-O-Wars. She does a pretty good job until the last second where a 'jack breaks through and ends the game.

Kommander Tatiana Sikora vs. Pirate Queen Skarre

The remains of the pirate kingdom of Cryx is still stirring. Skarre, the pirate queen is moving into Khador territory. She is escorted with all the girls with long spiky chains. Obviously, the Empress will not stand for such insolence. Tatiana is sent to defend the coast along with a detachment of the newest Man-O-Wars. The battle is fast and furious. Yet, the rampaging pirates is no match for Khadorian steel.

Kommander Tatiana Sikora vs. Captain Madison Calder

Apparently, the new shiny version of Cygnar is not sufficiently preoccupied with the Orgoth invasion. They are back to their old tricks of invading the Empress' rightful domain. Captain Madison Calder is leading the army. For the first time, Kommander Tatiana Sikora is dispatched along the new Man-O-Wars to intercept her. It could have gone both ways. However, Calder comes out on top.

List of Minicrates

The minicrate models from Privateer Press are alternative sculpts of their Warmachine models, which are only available through a subscription. Unfortunately, Privateer Press does not maintain a list of models released. So, here is a comprehensive list of all models released.

The Motherland returns to WTC

Following the success (I think) at last year's WTC in Belgium, the Motherland is attending this year's WTC in Denmark. It is a new time with Mark IV live. This year I'm bringing Malakov and Strakhov, both in 5th division. I think that Legacy models perform pretty well in the new environment. However, as so many times before, the armies were led down by the man behind the line. Yet, all in all it was pretty good.
