I've been playing Warmachine for close to two years now. I know I'm not a veteran, but I'd like to think I've soaked up a lot of knowledge since I've been involved with the game. I've swapped factions, painted tons of models, and started a collection I'm quite proud of. That's why I am excited to participate in my first ever Journeyman League.
Here in my city we're holding the first Journeyman League the Common Room has ever seen.A Journeyman League is a slow-grow league where players start at a low point value and gradually move up to higher point values throughout the league. The rules are designed so that a player learns to harness the power of their faction's Battle Box and move up through the ranks, adding more models and tactics to their army.
I'll be playing Cryx, and I've already got a nice army worked out. The league starts at 15 points and moves all the way up to 35. I've got my mind set on a 15-point list with Asphyxious, and I am going to see how it all pans out. I eventually want to get Malice and the Withershadow Combine into play for some nasty tricks. I've got a handful of models to paint still: Deathripper, pDenny, Slayer, Cankerworm, Defiler, and a Pistol Wraith, and they'll all see gameplay at some point.
I'm looking forward to the league and getting to finally get more play in. Luckily all of my models are painted that I'll be using, so I'll surely get hobby points for the league, which will help me in the long run. We'll be sure to get coverage of the league posted here for everyone to see.
On top of this news, Privateer Press just announced the new Steamroller 2014 rules. According to the company:
After a year of feedback and review of the 2013 documents, we’ve tweaked what needed to be tweaked, balanced what needed to be balanced, and added enough new hotness to keep things fresh (without completely overhauling the system everyone has become accustomed to). There are new scenarios like the tricky Balance of Power, updated scenarios like the new Destruction and Incursion, new variant formats such as the battlegroup-focused Commander’s Crucible, and so much more!
In addition to this, the company has released new rules for Hardcore, Iron Gauntlet, and Masters. You can download the rules at their respective links. With con season starting up soon, it's a good time to brush up on the rules and get your games in gear.
