WARGAME NEWS: MINIATURE RELEASE: Warmachine: Imperatus: Ashen Phoenix - Steamforged Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Tuesday, saw the launch of the brand new Imperatus, Ashen Phoenix (from wherever you purchase your Warmachine Miniatures from or from their own shop here for $79.99) which joined Dusk House Kallyss for the wargame: 

WarMachine.  Armed with blazing thermal blades and shoulder-mounted missile pods, Imperatus is built to carve through enemy lines, rain destruction from afar, and adapt its versatile arsenal in response to the ever-changing threats that lurk throughout the Iron Kingdoms.

One life isn’t enough, Imperatus brings its rebuilt Phoenix Protocol engine to the battlefield, refusing to stay down, and igniting foes ablaze who stand awed by its spectacular rekindling.

Want to see how Imperatus went from Dawnguard legend to eldritch engine of ruin? 

Find out how Imperatus went through its rebirth in the latest Heroes & Villains lore. Take a glimpse into Imperatus’s past, and new purpose.

Once you’ve basked in the ashes, discover how you can put its Phoenix Protocols, Halation Obliterator, and terrifying Thermal Blades to battle. 

Warmachine developer Fraser McFetridge gives you a closer look at Imperatus’s rules, Phoenix Protocols, battlefield role, and House Kallyss synergies.

Also don't forget that there is still time for you to get tickets for the amazing Lock and Load Convention (16th-17th May) run by Warmachine at:

All the best,

ThunderMouser.

WARGAME NEWS: Half-Distance Mode Now Available on Army Forge! - One Page Rules

 

We love to play wargames and at times space can become really tight and you feel that you can't get a game in at home.

What One Page Rules announced today, means that things can be a little different and you can have a ton of fun at home without worrying about not having the table space.  Here's what they had to say:

Sometimes it' s difficult to find one of the recommended 6’x4’ or 4’x4’ tables to play on. But with the newly released Half-Distance Mode in Army Forge, you can move your minis from the game table to the kitchen table, living room table, or more! Using the salt and pepper shakers for terrain, however, remains optional. 

Originally released as Kitchen Table Games in the Advanced Rulebooks, Half-Distance mode lets you play on smaller tables by simply halving all the distances used in the game. Movement is 3 inches by default instead of 6 inches, all ranges are halved, and all distances in every special ability is also halved. The OPR Team uses this mode of play frequently, including at our most recent all team meeting in Lisbon last year.

But we found that having to do all the math in your head, while easy to do, often slowed the game down or was sometimes forgotten in the heat of the moment! With the option now built into Army  Forge, our free web app that supports all of our games, playing on a tiny table will be a breeze! 

All you have to do is turn on the option in the Game Settings menu and all the math on your units will be halved automatically!
