Trikhymaerax, face the thing that should not be

Shadowflame Shard has gotten their gargantuan. It is a fantastic model. However, It must have been a fantastic party with a open bar, when it was decided to give a model with 50 boxes rapid healing. So who and how do we deal with the hangover from a bunch of drunk designers? Can the Motherland actually do anything or do we need to look at some of our allies to deal with this menace? 

The Motherland going to Rhein Con (day 1)

This is the first time this part of the Motherland goes to Düsseldorf, Germany and Rhein Con. It is going to be so much fun. I already know the location from WTC last year. It should be slightly less rusty that Conquest in January. Yet, who knows. It seems that every time I go to a major event, I'm taught new ways of playing Warmachine. So, as always I'm aiming for not being last and winning at least one match.

Tokens for the Motherland

Tokens for our marvellous army is always an issue. I have had a lot of tokens from different suppliers. All of which I have been happy about. However, times change and new stuff arrives, and suddenly I'm missing just that token, which will take me forever to get. With the common access to 3D printers, that should be a thing of the past. So, I have made some pretty basic Khador tokens for the whole army. They are free to use them, if you so desire.

The Kontroller Module

For quite some time I have been thinking about modules in Khador. This is by no means my invention. It is a quite common approach across the game. With the January '25 update, the Kontroller has suddenly gone from being unheard of to something quite interesting by becoming a 'Jack Marshal. So, what could a Kontoller module look like?

The Motherland goes to Conquest (day 3)

Day three and final day of Conquest. I'm thinking two days of warm up. It is now I strike. There is a new day, new opportunities. I'm getting comfortable with the Valerii list. Yet, still not with the Yara list. This final day 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 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.
