The Motherland goes to Conquest (day 2)

Day two of Conquest. It is quite clear that I'm quite rusty. However, new day, new opportunities. There is still new hardware on the table, new lists, and new opponents. I still have no idea how this is going to go. This day (of 3) is going to be tough. I'm sticking to my normal ambition: Win at least one and don't end up last. Let's see how the Motherland fares.

The Motherland goes to Conquest (day 1)

This is the first time the Motherland goes to Conquest in Oslo, Norway. It is also my first proper tournament since WTC 2024. There is new hardware on the table, new lists, and new opponents. I have no idea how this is going to go. Except a clear knowledge that I'm rusty. First day (of 3) is going to be tough. I'm sticking to my normal ambition: Win at least one and don't end up last. Let's see how the Motherland fares.

January update 2025 for the Winter Korps?

The long awaited January update has finally arrived. The entire Khador has been anticipating this. Will it fix some of the general issues with Winter Korps? Will the less played models have an upgrade? Will some models have an unnecessary downgrade? And many more questions. Let's look at the highlights of this update. I'll focus on Winter Korps and might not go into other armies, unless something really stands out.

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.
