It's always fun to meet up with friends and play new games. But what happens when you're not sure what to add next to your faction? Kev, Mike and Gav have been thinking about this for a few weeks now and we bring you a new series taking you beyond your Battlebox to the greater world of Warmachine and Hordes. To kick off the new series Kev has taken up the challenge and will be taking us through Khador who incidentally were his first faction.
Just finished watching this thanks to it being up on YouTube a bit earlier than on here 😛
Good video with some great advice. Looking forward to the Cygnar one as despite building up a reasonable collection of models, I’m getting mauled 95% of the time.
This is great! Good job, loving this.
Please do Cryx next, I want to hear those war-stories and see those salty tears from Kevin when you do the Top 3 Best Bile Thrall Moments 😉
Cryx will be along in a bit, but they’re doing a few others first… On the plus side it does mean I can torment them with more Cryx war stories along the way..
thanks for this feeling more comfortable with my choices now hopefully grabbing the 2 player box this weekend (had so many pull out of splitting it i’ll just keep the menoth for my existing force anyway -_- ah well i do like vanquisher’s) and those 3 units were all top of my list as were the solos. i’m looking at vlad and harkevich as my alt’s but you’ve made me look at other jacks… so thanks guys keep up the good work 😀
Thanks for that, happy to help.
Vlad2 is my personal fav caster in Khador but for this recording we felt he wouldnt be a good pick for a new player to learn the faction with. Once you know what they units and jacks can do adding him can add a whole new level, the same as the Old Witch.
Don’t feel obligated to wait for the videos to be released. If you are a new (or old) player looking advice we have a great forum community here including a established players,forum tzar, and a pressganger ready to help.
I will say what is rather irritating with regards to Khador, is the strength of the Winterguard Deathstar. In some ways, it overshadows alot of the other unit choices, because of how good it is. I know that this is also true in other factions, but it seems to be at its “worst” with this. I know it always a bad idea to compare how things work in a game, with how they work realistically, but the long unit chain you can set up with the Deathstar (Jo at the back, the standard bearer just within range of his bubble,… Read more »
While the Winter Guard is a pain and the long chain of command a pain at times, the golden days of Khador light infantry dominating the board is dimming the last 12 months with more anti magic (to deal with iron flesh), anti tough tech and more large AOE’s to hurt these low ARM troops.
Not saying they arent good but most factions have ways to deal with them now.
Good stuff, fellas.
I’ve been neglecting Warmachine lately – maybe that’ll change with the Menoth episode.
Great show guys thanks!! Was nice to get a run down of some tactics, was a bit fast paced towards the end, but I guess a video can be rewindeded. 🙂 Warmahordes has always boggled my brain when learning the ropes, so I will be looking on in interest for some tips. Have to say that I couldn’t help but chant “CUFF LINKS” for 1hr 7mins though. I think Gav should either wear a long gothic dress (which could be stored in his locker/desk at work) or a bin bag with a hole for his head every time he forgets… Read more »
Careful… I’m like the candy man, say Cufflinks three times and I appear in your home..
Cool, then I don’t have to come down to Essex to bonk you on the noggin and steal your wardrobe!! 🙂 hehe
Good episode though, will there be intro gaming tutorials after these intros to armies?
Mick
There is a hordes intro in the gargantuan week and sure there is a warmachine one on here somewhere.
There was some good intro-videos but I think they got eaten by Youtube 🙁
