Twigster and Marcraxus posted details for a second Hordes/Warmachine tournament held on May 21st in the forums:

Bring your best 35 point Hordes or Warmachine army for 4 rounds of mindblowing ferocity. $5 gets you in and gives you a chance at Hordes Best of Faction Coins (no minions coin, sorry), a Hordes Champion coin as well as a set of Steamroller coins. That’s right, the winner could walk away with 3 coins!

Steamroller rules (Bring 2 lists if you want), 10:00 am registration, 10:30 dice drop. We should be finished between 4 and 5.

Now with trophies, pizza, and a $25 gift card for best painted army!

The Game Preserve is putting on another Warmachine/Hordes tournament called “Slam at The Ram” on October 2nd.

Check out all the details on their blog here.

Ace King is running yet another Warhammer Fantasy Battles tournament at Game Preserve – Keystone Commons. Check the post in the forum for more details here.

Over the last couple of weeks there has been talk of folks switching from playing Warhammer Fantasy Battles on Tuesday evenings to playing Firestorm Armada. This game came and went a while back when it was first released (much like its cousin, Uncharted Seas).

I decided to take a leap of faith and buy my first fleet, the Aquans. I like the look of the ships and from what I understand about their tactics, I liked that as well. It seems one tactic is to move through the enemy and drop mines along the way so when those squads activate, they set off the mines. The other tactic being moving into the middle of the enemy and firing all weapons in all arcs along with torpedoes. Sounds cool to me!

I spent a good part of the weekend assembling the models and installing magnets in their belly with magnets on the stem of the bases as well. This operation wasn’t as troublesome as I first thought.

Senario, LLC has sent us a message asking for volunteers to judge a Battle Bands tournament on October 9th. Check out the forum post here. Looks like there’s a free meal and product involved for those interested.

It’s our first request from a corporation outside the state, so I figured it was worthy of posting.

“Violence and warfare sweep through the city of Sul with a brutality not seen since the Cygnaran Civil War. The once pristine streets have become rubble-strewn battlegrounds in the current conflicts between nations of the Iron Kingdoms. This once impenetrable Protectorate city has been breached and open warfare is conducted daily throughout its narrow streets. Cygnar hoped to conquer its eastern rival with quick and decisive strikes, yet the enemy was ready and deeply entrenched. Strengthened by righteous fury and resolve, the defenders fight to retain their holy sites. Protracted battles have drawn other nations like vultures to a corpse, as Khador and Cryx have hatched plans to profit from this bloodshed.”
– David Carl and Jason Soles, No Quarter #8 page 12.

With the smell of blood and destruction hanging thickly in the air, other interested parties have joined the fray. Retribution, Orboros, Trollbloods, Everblight and Skorne have all swept in to stake their claim to this monumental moment in history.
