In Warmachine it’s always important to protect your Warcaster. Swampy shows Justin one of the ways that the Retribution of Scyrah can sneak around your lines and get that caster kill to win the game. Justin also has one or two tips for new players of any faction.
but what would you say is the best way to get in to a new faction? Buy a Battle Group or build your own?

I thought a warcaster doesnt count as a warrior? is that not just rank and file dudes?
nevermind……. i is stoopid
Warcasters count as a warrior models, if was rank and file it would be ruled as a trooper model, everything in the vid is legal
Just wanted to point out that the rules correction is incorrect, you can upkeep as many spells as you want/have focus for, I think you got that confused with not having multiply friendly upkeeps on a single model/unit, which in this case is totally legal as death sentence is an offensive spell and would be on Sorcha and Mirage would be on Garryth.
Death sentence is indeed an offensive spell, but you need to hit the target in the first place before you can begin to upkeep it. For Garryth, that is a bit tricky because he only has 6 focus, so while the spell only costs 2, you typically have to boost to hit (with Sorsha on def 16, you need to roll a 10 to hit).
All of that in combination with the short range (his pistol have an extra 4 inches of range), I think alot of the time the focus can be better spent.
That said, Garryth on full focus should be killing Sorsha even without Death sentence once in combat.
Love the idea of Warmachine/Hordes but I have to say I struggle to remember all the little spells etc. Only played a few games though with my Trollbloods, lost every time ofc, but I hear that is normal. would love to play more, but feel somewhat overwhelmed with all the little abilities. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the complexity of it all. Just wished there was a chess computer type game to learn from. On that note, what ever happened to the computer game of Warmachine? That could have been such a good introduction into the beer drinking version!!
Oh, forgot to say it was a nice video thanks guys.
I especially like Justins “OH NO!!” face. 9/10
Swampys “ah haaa” face 8/10
More emotion guys, really work the camera!
Swampy you and me need to chat on Wednesday about the rules. You shame me
You got your PG hat one there, Kev? I think for future videos you need to be in the background with a foam rubber baseball bat to ensure correctness
OK pleas etell me what I f****d up
I don’t think wearing a jumper with a big black fist on it helps………..
hehe /proud of that one!
Try the double upkeep spells on Garryth!!!
You could have cast Death Sentence after the Mirage move or do two shots aiming (as Madelyn’s move and Mirage don’t count so you get aiming bonus – and the guns still have Arcane Assassin), or just boosted the “to-hit” rolls to get your 8′s than risk the rerolls.
But instead you failed and get it wrong!!! Oh Swampy what we going to do with you lol
Also on his feat cause you can allocate jacks focus if they’re in the enemy caster’s control range the jacks are then free to walk out of it to spend it, it’s Hordes beasts that have to stay within control area to be riled for fury
.
Other than that a good show and if you want we can go through your next one before recording
that was me swamp, i thought you could only upkeep one spell thats how i was taught to play the game sorry i got it wrong.
BoW Justin
Mike, I’m thinking with Swampy it’s the cold hose and cattle prod
More of this type of video lads please, really helps get to grips with the game.
I’m one of the lost when it comes to figuring out rules on my own. Your videos do make a difference for us rules changed.
On a serious note showing these interactions in video form is a great way for new players to understand bits. I can always (well Wednesday evenings) offer my help on these bits as its the interactions in H/WM that are the details rather than breaking badly worded rules
Yes,
some Warmahordes action, please ignore all nerd rage and cyber humping remarks , just keep it rolling
Need I say…
One war game to rule them all
Can you smell what privateer press is cooking
He might not be able to do this to Gorten due to his massive Armour as standard, along with his powerful spells.
i don’t play the game but i’d like to see more.
Like the idea of this vid. But guys, why don’t you read the rules!
Death sentence: When a friendly faction model misses target ENEMY unit with an attack it can reroll the attack roll.
The whole upkeep spel thing has been explained. So if Swampy did cast the spel as it was intended he would be able to upkeep them both. One on Garreth (mirage)as it is a friendly spel and u can upkeep one of those on Gareth. And the other on Sorcha (death sentence) it being an offensive spel and you can upkeep one of those as wel. The rest was completly legal and a nice example of how the synergy of spells and models can work. And I know all of this has been said before in this tread in some ways but I think wording it this way might make it a bit clearer for new players.
So Swampy take Justins advice and look at your list before you play it
And keep the WarmaHordes vids comming!
