I saw this army used effectively in a Steamroller 4 event recently. It uses a lot of the basic tactics that Circle players should know. Remember to use the Argus models for Slams, and Board Control (for scenarios.) It's not a killer list, but it works.

MAGNUS vs. KAYA in PITTSBURGH, PA

Megan and I went to the Pittsburgh, PA area for a short mini-vacation. While we were there we played a short game of WARMACHINE. She took Magnus and I used Kaya. We didn't have any terrain to use so we improvised with plates and other stuff from around the room. The game was rough and tumble. Boomhowler faced off against the Thran Ravangers but not before the Totem Hunter killed Eyriss.

The third turn was all about Magnus. The Renegade popped the rocket at close range from a hill, and hit Kaya and Two Argus. This was followed up with a well placed Raining Steel from Magnus that hit all three again, plus a Warpwolf.

On the fifth and last turn, Kaya got off the assassination run.

Magnus was beat down with Kaya's stick and then a Warpwolf torn him limb from limb.

Believe me, it was a gory mess.

I WANT ONE.

Hey Privateer Press: I want one of these for my Circle army. Get to work!

HINT OF A NEW CIRCLE WARLOCK ... WHO KNOWS?

Quoted from the Week 5 Newes of Broken Coast:

- One last thing before I send this account to you in the Wyrmwalls. Choko is the son of the village shaman and Liston believes he is beginning to display signs of the wilding. Perhaps it would be best to train him here as he seems connected with this sacred site. The islanders seem open to our presence, and if he is not simple of mind this boy may one day embrace Orboros.

Krueger the Stormwrath

On the round in which Kruegar pops his feat and deploys the AOEs, they count as magic attacks. For subsequent rounds, they are simply damaging effects, and not magic attacks.

From the FAQ:

Erratum: Primal p.107 : Storm Ravager: Replace with the following: Place three 3" AOEs anywhere completely within Krueger's control area. Target each enemy model in one or more of the AOEs with a magic attack ignoring Camouflage, concealment, cover, elevation, Invisibility, LOS, screening, and Stealth. Models hit suffer simultaneous POW 10 damage rolls. At the beginning of each of Krueger’s controller’s Maintenance Phases, Storm Ravager AOEs not completely within Krueger’s control area expire. Krueger's controller then removes one of the Storm Ravager AOEs from the table. He may then move the remaining AOEs in his control area up to 6". AOEs must end this movement completely within Krueger’s control area. Enemy models touched by one or more moving AOEs suffer simultaneous unboostable POW 10 damage rolls after all the AOEs have moved. An enemy model entering into or ending its activation in one or more Storm Ravager AOEs suffers an unboostable POW 10 damage roll. An enemy warbeast in one or more AOEs during its controller's Maintenance Phase must pass a threshold check or frenzy. If Krueger is destroyed or removed from play, the AOEs immediately expire.

NERF SWARMS WITH CIRCLE

Kromac casts Brutality on a unit of Tharn Wolf Riders which gives them +2 mat and beserk. The wolf riders are spead out across the board because they have howl. They declare a hunt against an enemy unit of infantry, let's say something squishy like Mcthrall. The declare a charge across rough terrain because of pathfinder, and don't need line of sight becuase of Scent. They begin their attack now with +4 to attack and +2 damage. First wolfrider destroys enemy model, moves 3" because of Blood Thirst and attacks again. Wash rinse and repeat. Oh, and they ignore free strikes because they are light cavalry. This first model single-handedly destroys a complete unit of infanty, they declare a new hunt and wolf rider #2 can start over again against a new target.

Yum!

Birthday Fun

Megan kicked my ass (again) in a game of WARMACHINE/HORDES for my birthday.

We played a 500 point game.

She used Cygnar and I used Circle.

We set the limit at 4 rounds.

I was doing very well and laying down the smack.

However at the end I made several poor dice rolls, and ended up getting Kaya killed.

A pox on Cygnar.
