The Prime Generation Episode 8- Meta Musings

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Welcome to Episode 8! After digesting 5 Warmachine faction books, we ruminate on the state of the 5 main factions, with some Mercs sprinkled in. We also begin the call for Speed Round questions. So give us a listen and send us a question!

Troll Runebearer and Stuff

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

First off let me say thanks to Josh, Paul, and Brian for helping me with all of the site improvements you’re seeing now! There are more to come as soon as we can find some time in our schedules. Since we now look like a real site, I’ve been more motivated to blag a bit more.

So let me today focus on the model I saw for the first time the other day, the Troll Runebearer. He’s a two point solo with a standard Troll statline, and has two * Actions: Once per game, he can cast a 3 fury or less spell from his warlock’s spell list (like a Skarlock), and the other is Harmonious Exaltation (spend 1 less fury to cast warlock’s next spell).

I’m veeeeeery divided on this guy. On one hand, we does fill a niche in a Troll list, especially with the Madraks, the Doomys, and Calandra. On the other hand, he costs the same as the Hierophant while doing less. The once per game Skarlock functionality really doesn’t do it for me. Additionally, Borka cannot take him at the moment due to the fact that he already has a model attached to him.

I’ll be very interested to see how the local Trollblood players run him, and I’m eager to see if the quality of the attachments increases for other factions. I’m really hoping that the Skorne attachment does something better!

The Prime Generation Episode #7- Something Wicked This Way Comes…

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

We’re back! After taking a couple of weeks off to take care of our equipment issues, we’re back and better than ever. This week we’re covering the Nightmare Empire of Cryx, as well as talkin’ about some new previews. We’re rocking an entirely new sound setup, so you’ll hear much better sound quality, which will get even better as we get some experience with the setup.
