Warmachine / Hordes

DRZ · 4 Dec 2013 at 08:22

Any people here play either of these overlapping games from Privateer Press?

I've been playing for a couple of years now. I could never get into Warhammer and thought that all tabletop games weren't for me as a result but WM/H is (to me) loads better.

I used to play Warmachine as Cygnar and got out just in time for the meta to shift to make them right up there at the top of all the tournaments... I now play Hordes as Circle which is a LOT more difficult but much, much more enjoyable!

I'll post up some photos if there are other players here or some more interest

I haven't yet played, but I do have the Warmachine rulebook and some models. I've slowly been reading through the book and what I've seen so far I definitely like. Would also be interested in seeing some photos of your stuff!

Have you settled on a faction yet? I'm trying to think if any Lancashire clubs were well represented at this year's Masters tournament - and I can't think of any!

Ive looked into this (and backed the pc game on kickstarter) but locally all I have is a GW store so that will probably be as far into warmachine/hordes as i get

I have had a little look into this, trying to get into somthing different other than GW stuff

Protectorate of Menoth is the one that I ended up choosing.

I've played on and off, but eventually just found I don't have the time (with PC gaming, Magic: the gathering, blood bowl etc).

It's definately a fun game, and the skirmish size makes it less ridiculously pricey to collect (though with collossals that's of course an option too!).

I've got a bunch of Khador, some painted to a good tabletop standard (if I do say so myself) but realistically I think I'm going to sell it or leave it in storage forever. I'd bung it on the MM, but haven't got access yet, so if anyone fancies it let me know and we see what we can do.

I have a decent collection of Trollbloods. Never found anyone to play against, though, which tends to be the way with anything non GW :/

Rules wise, Hordes and Warmachine are the tabletop war games that interest me the most, and the models are superb.

I've backed the game on KS. I'm interested to try it but I'd have no-one to play the tabletop game against.

Those of you that are struggling to find games, where are you based? There is a reasonably decent Pressganger forum on the Privateer Press website where you can find PGers for your area who can help hook you up with local games clubs that have WM/H players.

I personally know of great clubs in the NW (Merseyside and Manchester) and Southampton areas where you're certain to get games but there are big clubs playing the game in lots of locations if you know how/where to look

****! I would have been all over that! Another kickstarter that passes me by. I missed the first two zombicide too and ended up paying through the nose.
