The Beginnings of My Minion Force
Got some pig goodness today and got to work on them right away. I’m hoping to have a playable 25 point force by a tournament on the 21st.

Er.. “mm” scale should be read “Millimeter” Scale. As in 10-15 Millimeter scale, or 25-35 Millimeter Scale.

My New Warmachine/Hordes Transport
It’s stronger than a Battlefoam bag, fits over 24″ of Sabol foam (12″ side by side) and it costs around 20 bucks. I can’t claim credit for the idea of using this as a transport as one of my local gaming buddies turned me to the idea.
For those wondering what it is, it is a collapsible file transport from Office Depot.
Here’s a link to it.

Nice. I’m getting one of the BF bags, but I may get some of these to stack in the garage and store the models that I’m not using.

Privateer Press News from TempleCon
From: http://twitter.com/privateerevents
Summary of panel discussion: Simon Berman explains the mkII fiction will all be unified to be one coherent story over the forces books.
Leagues will be more casual and have more prizes other than playing lots of games. Trying to promote community.
Leagues will have multiplayer and team based games.
PPS_Jack says a new version of PP events website will be coming out soon that will be more user friendly.
PPS_DC received over 10,000 submissions to the field test. Sometimes just one well written submission though could be the diff.
Infernals won’t be giving instant answers anymore. PP wants to have move to seasonal updates posted with a sum of answers.
There will be 3 leagues of 3 weeks each. Plus Summer Rampage over 5 weeks.
PPS_Simon says there will be more organized staff communication events once the rush of mkII dies down.
The Minion force book will have a LOT more models in it according to Jason Soles. Panel over!
Mike is discussing. 
Xanbar and 2 others are discussing.

Tharn Bloodweavers
Picked up this box at the local shop this past Monday. Its been a while since I’ve worked on my Circle and I’m working on a all girl theme with Kaya and Tharn girls. Hopefully it all works out.

Primal Kaya, Initial Thoughts
A friend of mine and a new Circle player posted on our local forums wondering if Primal Kaya has become useless with the change in Spirit Door. I decided to look into this as it has been a while since I played my Circle force. The following is my reply to this concern.
I think Primal Kaya is far from being useless as I’ve played her a lot before when Hordes first game out and she’s still my favorite Warlock.
The use for Spirit Door has changed as before you would get Kaya in bring a warbeast next to her and finish the job. The new Spirit door allows you to choose any model in your battlegroup in your control to be placed within 2″ of another model in her battlegroup in her control or within 2″ of her. To me this turns Kaya into more than a one trick wonder as she can draw enemies to certain sides and then immediately remove that warbeast out of harms way while your opponent has forces dedicated to that side. This type of crowd control will be very useful in MK 2 especially in scenario based games.
With her increase in Speed from 6 to 7 she has an increased threat range of 12 inches. She’s still good for Warlock assassination with her feat but will have a hard time against casters.
I love the new Pack Hunters ability a standard +2 to attack to all your warbeasts as long as they are in your control area is very sweet. Mat 7 Argus, Mat 9 Feral Warpwolf!
Adding Satyr to her list will be awesome just for the Animus to give a Feral Warpwolf in Kayas control area a charge of 11″ MAT11 with Warped Strength of P+S 17. When you done with attacking with your Feral Warpwolf Spirit Door him back to safe spot to be unleashed again the next turn.
Lots of possibilities. Ya got me thinking I”m going to bring out my Circle again.
This is just my thoughts on the a preliminary read of her some Circle warbeasts. The wheels are turning in my head and I really want to take Kaya out for a spin again.

Actually, the way Privateer Press deals with the phrase “this model” it always refers to the activating model, ["In a model’s rules, “this model” always refers to the model
carrying the rule. page 3 of field test rules]so in this case Kaya. This means the spell still is Kaya moving to within two inches of a warbeast or a warbeast moving to within two inches of Kaya.As before the model cannot move after being placed, but with the latest card update to Spirit Door the model cannot attack either.
This is definitely a limitation, not an opportunity for new possibilities.
Additionally, in the latest card version Kaya’s +2 to attack is now limited to melee only and living beasts only.
Why only melee and living? In the fiction she supposedly is really in connected with warbeasts (Kaya the Wildborne). And why limit her Spirit Door to a one trick pony which is the runaway manuever now (either the beast or Kaya).
If the problem was that the +2 attack across the board to all warbeasts was too much power, okay, then alter it to a +1 across the board to all the warbeasts.
I would rather have the original version 2006 of Kaya rather than the new version.

I’ll take the +2 to melee and to only living over +1 over all or the +1 MK1 version (that was hard to keep track of).
The still prefer the new one over the old one as she was only really a one trick pony.
I’ve decided to dust off my Circle and play them as I have faith and confidence the Privateer knows what they are doing. Not because I’m a fan but because they have more data, more play experience than I do. They also have a great track record in games development.

Fair enough. :)
I suppose what I don’t like is the multiple alterations to the model when there was the initial field test version and then four more card updates. None of which tried any of the four alterations now present on Kaya (1. melee only, 2. living only, 3. Spirit door = no attack, 4. soothing song only once). For the record I think soothing song once only is fine. It is hard to know if any one fix is the proper fix when all are implemented at once.

Thanks but I actually can’t take credit for that. A friend of my painted it for me. I accidentally added the watermark tag when I exported the two pictures in a batch. :)

Back to Work…
I’ve neglected doing some projects way to long now so I’m not back working on some Warmachine/Hordes models. The Invitational was a blast and has given me the motivation needed to get stuff done.
First on the list of things to do are my Skorne. Here’s what’s on the painting queue.
- Epic Morgul
- Epic Makeda
- 5 Ferox
- 8 Venators
For now I will start with the Ferox.

Skorne: Titan Bronzeback
One of my goals this year is to rebuild my Skorne army that has been dormant for almost 2 years now. First up is the Titan Bronzeback.

Mike
Hey–looks really awesome. I haven’t played Hordes in over a year, but I was building a skorne force myself for a while (switched to Circle when I figured out Skorne wasn’t really my playstyle). I love your blog, and I really like what you’ve done here. Thanks for sharing!
Now, if you could only figure out a way to share the pictures within my RSS feed. I don’t mind the extra click, but I’m so lazy…
-
Larkin Vain
Thanks for the kind comments. Skorne is very hard to play, but once you wrap you mind around the tactics they can be very brutal. Hopefully I can figure out how to RSS pictures out.
