Good to see the Cygnar doing some damage this video.

Can you do a video demonstrating power attacks that produce collateral damage?

Any Heavy war jack/beast without the “serpentine” special rule

I love those videos ! It’s so much better than just trying to figure out what the minis can do by myself with the rules leaflet…

It’s too easy to think in the usual gaming terms of hit and shoot, you have to go beyond them when playing Warmachine. I’m lovin’ it.

hey guys i got two questions,
mate of mine plays some variation of Dark Angels n he got himself a LR Crusader which he has bolted on a set of B-17 wings from somewhere and calls it a Stormraven since to him it has near enough the same weapon loadout (hurricane bolters, Melta, Assault cannons) and size, to which he adds a mortis dread with 2 twin linked autocannons and a devastator squad with 4 heavy bolters. He uses this like a big mobile shooty fortress to tackle my orks at a distance,
i would like to know if hes allowed to use the stormraven since i thought it was for BA only?and second any suggestions how to bring his pride and joy crashing down onto the tabletop?
thanks guys

i can see this being used to a grand effect in larger games with more ‘jacks and maybe even deep water. where you slam a ‘jack into the deeper water.

Are you sure the slam distance is 1/2 d6? I thought it was 1/2 d6 when the slammed model has a smaller base than the one that is slamming.
I really do love slams. When I play with my Circle against Khador for example I do a lot of slams, just to get those big cans out of the way. Even better when I can teleport the warbeast back with Kaya’s spell. 🙂

Just an aesthetic comment: GW has amazing eye candy for a reason; it gets players and spectators excited and immersed. In Warmachine and Hordes, I usually see the field littered with tokens, and that really harshes my immersion buzz.
