Worse than GW's business model? *gasp*ReplyDelete
I'm afraid I'm a little biased against large/ very large models and kits, because all my brushes are small and I don't have an airbrush.
And we've only seen Cygnar and Khador's Colossals.
The Youtube Comment feed is quite interesting as well, many comparing this to 40K's Apocalypse and WHFB's Horde mechanic cash cows. It's possible of course, but as a man tottering on the brink of collecting HoMachine or not, this doesn't incite me much. Such large models and armies do tend to intimidate beginner hobbyists, I think.
So... I'll be painting my Infinity Ninja for a little while...Replies
Yeah, maybe I'm being overly suspicious but I just get the feeling that they're not just doing this because 'it's cool'. It feels to me that they're ratcheting up the scale and size of the game more and more. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good game of HoMachine, but if GW come in for flak for their shenanigans then so too should PP. Right? Also I can't very well say I'm unhappy with Wyrd for pulling this trick and not raise my concerns over what PP are doing. Call me an old cynic but hey I've been burned more than once before.Delete
I suppose there's a bit of that too. When I saw them scaling up, I instinctively thought GW-shaped shenanigans (I like the word too). The difference between GW and PP is that I love GW's fluff to bits (some recent trends notwithstanding) while utterly unfamiliar with the fluff of HoMachine, so...Delete
I like the staggered updates. I have a cygnar army for Warmachine, that's it. I also have a sisters of battle army.......ReplyDelete
I can tell you what I prefer, getting a new model every 2-3 months compared to no new models for 10 years.
PP's model rewards loyalty to a faction, GW's rewards people dumping thousands of dollars on the latest shiny "must have" force.Replies
Mate, I said in that Sunday Sermon I liked staggered updates... but honestly two every year? No way. Sorry I think that's a bit much in terms of layout for books. I haven't even seen all of my options from Wrath or Dominion turn up yet and they're already talking this years update? PP are a business at the end of the day, no different to GW. They'll milk the cash cow however they can. I'd just like both to be a bit more gentle when they're pulling on my tits!!! lol.Delete
Also, I wouldn't call that a level comparison between Cygnar and the Space Feminists, because PP have a planned, set amount of factions that have been balanced just *so* and have more or less equal coverage across the board, much like many young wargames at the moment (Dystopian Wars springs to mind). 40K and Fantasy have been out about twice as long, they've got about 30 different factions to keep track of (if you count MEQ's and WHFB, not even counting LotR) and if it was originally balanced between factions, it's all been lost now. It's like an orderly desk with specific in-trays for specific categories, and you make sure the intrays are balanced and fair, and then you get more categories and paperwork, and before long the desk is a complete mess, you don't know where anything is and you've lost all your pens except the red one, which is almost out of ink anyway. Newer games/desk - still got order, GW - bloody chaos. Took them years to even find the Dark Eldar. They have so many things they need to do they have to prioritize slightly, and being a business they will prioritize money. If they release one Codex a month once 6th Ed hits us and concentrate only on 40k, it'll take them over a year to get everything in 6th. They don't have that sort of pace of course. Frankly, if I had a Sisters army, I'd have written (attempted) my own Codex by now, just to make them more kickass. Give them pepper spray instead of frag grenades and handbags instead of power weapons or something, just to feck about.Delete
I can't even begin to point out what i dislike about this post, so here is a summary.Delete
- Space feminists? Woman servants of a mangod are feminists now?
- PP planned their game, so forgive GW for not planning
- Your list got lost in the shuffle metaphor
- they cant do what PP did and update all the lists in one year (more lists, but more resources)
- Go write your own codex? Go **** yourself!
- Personal attack on Goldenkaos about his misogyny.
Just take the bullet points.
It is a shame that light-hearted tone and jokes do get rather lost in translation on the internet, as was most of the post you're critiquing.Delete
The main point was that GW have a lot more on their hands and they've had more time to muddle all it up and get confused and side-tracked. Not saying it will happen to PP, but they haven't been around long enough for the chance to occur in the same scale as GW. I'm also not saying GW is blameless by any means (like hell they are), but there's that way of looking at it as well.
As for the dear Sisters... never liked them. That is my subjective opinion, and all my criticism of them shall be exaggerated for effect.
And, I didn't quite phrase it as 'suffer this old Codex or sod off and write one yourself', as you seem to have read, I'm merely saying that I, personally, as someone who gets extremely prickly when my favorite army's fluff and rules don't match, would have had a go. That's all I meant.
Gentlemen I'm going to pull a GW on this one and ask for a cease and desist. It's clear there are crossed wires. Primarily because I know GoldenKaos hasn't got much love for GW's shenanigans... God damn it, why am I saying shenanigans all the sodding time now? o_0Delete
I suppose if you have multiple forces this would be a pain. but I have one list and a lot of people only have one army. But its not like you need to buy the books, with cards coming in the model, info online, and the new app that will have all the cards and stats in it.Replies
Yeah I stupidly have an Angry Elves army and a Trollbloods army. So it'll get a bit much. It got a bit much during the MKI era. A lot of people walked when they saw the annual updates round these parts and I know they're all keeping an eye out for it again. Just slightly concerned is all that they're making the same mistake they made last time around. This time with the added expense of faction books. I agree with you by the way that the more exciting news they let fly was the iPhone and Android app. My article for which is going up sometime today. Didn't want to flood my Blog with articles!Delete
It's technically only 1 update since Hordes got 1 book and Warmachine got 1 book. You can argue that it's almost the same system but either way, each faction only got updated 1x a year. That seems fair.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep you could make that argument, and I often have. But HoMachine is inseparable as systems. Certainly where I play and from what I can gather the tournament scene. However, come summer 2012 if I'm a new player wanting to start say a Cryx army I'll need to buy Prime MKII. It's arguable whether or not I need my army book. But, as a new comer to the game I'll want to pick it up, plus if I want to try out tier lists...Delete
Ten I'll need to pick up Wrath if I want to know about Battle Engines. We're up to 3 books now, and although PP have wisely stuck with the simplified universal rules system it is still going to be daunting for that new comer when he / she see's the Colassals book. 4 books! What's it going to look like in 2013 or 2014? Damn, they'll be asking a lot of people. No doubt we'll get a redux MKII soonish, possible 2013 as well.
Or they could buy warroom and their faction deck. With inbuilt rules, it seems like that's all they'll really need other than the core rulebookDelete
Agreed. As I said in my article on the war room, I'm genuinely excited about these sorts of apps. If they include diagrams and other forms of rules explanation as well, we could theoretically see the need for rulebooks dissipate. I'd be up for subscribing to a living ruleset like this.Delete

I play six different game systems on a loose yet regular basis. The reason I stopped playing Magic the Gathering some ten years ago was that keeping up to date took too much time. I understand that this is a proven business model that keeps the revenues up, but if it continues it will push me to the point where I'll have to choose which systems too play and which to drop.ReplyDelete
The models do look good though, and the video is thoughtfully composed as well.Replies
That is a sentiment I know an awful lot of people share. I'm currently still happy playing HoMachine and enjoy it no end. I'll try to keep pace with it as well... but I play lots of games now myself. Because variety is the spice of life. Anything that starts to demand way more of my time than other games is going to struggle to retain me as a customer.Delete
On the models and video... I'm 100% with you.
If - and I stress if - PP are able to bring Colossals into the game without unbalancing it, I'll be very happy. They seem to have achieved this with Battle Engines, so I have hope.ReplyDelete
Personally, I haven't picked up any of the Battle Engines, and don't plan on doing so in the future. It would be nice to have the same option with Colossals... though I may be tempted by the Kraken (if only for the name).
As for things getting harder for the new player, they only really need to purchase one book (Prime/Primal). The others may include special rules, but it only takes a couple of minutes with someone's book to get up to speed. Also, I would recommend someone new to the game to stay away from fancy things like Battle Engines until they're comfortable with the main game. Yes, they may eventually buy more books, but that's up to them.Replies
I'm not to concerned at 2 add ons per system. But i will be if they keep going and adding more and more to the mix. I just feel HoMachine might at risk of becoming perhaps too big a game. I like the look of the colossals and I'll no doubt buy at least one... yeah that's right I said at least 1. Just don't want to see the game scale to something too big and unwieldy. Just my thoughts.Delete
What I'm hoping happens is that they broaden the current base, and bring in more of the 'special' UA's (like the Black Dragon IFP). Another Battle Engine for each faction (and one for the Mercs... please) and maybe another Colossal would bring variety to the game without escalating things too much.Delete
My prediction is that Colossals will cost 20+pts, at least. This should make it fairly easy to limit their appearance on the table. That said, an Unbound game with 3-4 Colossals on each side would be pretty epic. Or should that be Epic...
I'd be up for conversion kits to produce 'units of renown'. Different UA's would also be a good way to go. I might even accept the idea of a few more Battle Engines. I'll even take the Colossal's as they do look good and they do look like fun.Delete
The concern is that rather than the Unbound rules being a nice occassional bash. Like Apocalypse is for 40k, that it actually becomes the norm. I suppose though it shouldn't be an issue as long as the game remains scaleable.
I want to see some Epic Retribution Warcasters and maybe even some Legendary ones too!!! We're under represented in that area I think! Just not too much. I'm sure the Colossals will have multiple options in their kits because that's the way they seem to be going now. I too think it'd be good to see a Battle Engine for the Mercenaries.
What I and many others would really like to see though is perhaps another new faction. I'd love to see the Rhulic actually develop into a proper fully fledged stand alone faction. I think that would be cool and also give everyone who wants to take a break next year (2013) take one!!! And those that don't can buy a new Dwarf faction. lol.
Funny you should mention Rhul...Delete
I've just heard (on the latest episode of The League of Extraordinary Geeks) that they'll be getting a new 'caster in the next book. Also, each faction will only be getting a couple of new units: new Epic/Legendary 'caster and a Colossal. I'm guessing the Black Dragons are in there too, but I don't think any of the other factions are getting something similar.
Well that's good to hear. Personally I kind of understand why initially they steered clear of the Dwarf and Elf factions in Warmachine. But now having established much of the realms of man and giving their game a very humancentric feel to it, I think dropping in the Retribution and the Ruhl seems wise. It give them a good context in which to operate.Delete
I'd like to see the Retribution get some Epic Warcasters. I thought it was a bit of a shame they didn't take the opportunity to do so in Wrath. I'll be very interested if these colossal miniatures don't offer variants. As for units of renown / Black Dragons type things... be a shame if they didn't do a bit more of this to add history and spice to things, but totally understandable from a business perspective.
love the look of the modles, but only played one game of MK 2 i want my money for minis. Not a shelf full of books to use them. Thats why i left malifaux. Its becoming more and more common for gaming. To play agame you will need Rule book, new addition rule book, Army book, monsters rule book, warmachines rule book, magic rule book ect, ect, ect. They may be needed but not from my wallet.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah that's my concern Pancake, that and they seem to be growing the scale of the game. Not the individual miniatures but the amount required etc. I'm staying cautious on this one. Like the look of the miniatures. Happy to finally see them, but wary of more and more rules creep.Delete
Well, the mini's are scaling up too. :-)ReplyDelete
I'm a bit concerned as well. I don't even mind a book a year (and I get why both Ho- and -Machine each get one) but it's also a subsystem per year. Which probably means increasingly confusing rules. Which, together with power creep, was my problem with MK I.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing more Escalation-like campaigns in expansion books and a lower number of new releases.Replies
Bingo, give the man a prize. I'm starting to get that horrible feeling I did during MKI days with HoMachine right now. Perhaps those who didn't go through that can't quite graps what a mess the game became back then. My only fear is that the same might happen to MKII... and that would upset me.Delete
Huzzah, a prize!Delete
Some part of me goes "Well, as long as I just play 35 points with my mates (and the occasional 50-point battle), those colossals won't touch me/us." but just knowing the state of the game "out there" will influence our stance, I'm sure.
Yeah sorry. I don't have any concrete prizes to give, so here have +1000 Internetz points :PDelete
Like you my group of friend said the same about Battle Engines. It took us all of 3 weeks before we each had our factions relevant weapon of war on pre-order. No doubt the same thing will happen with the Colossals. Hmmm. Maybe there's an article in here somewhere. I might have to go away play some more games of HoMachine and think on it.
I do hope they don't add any more model types in the next expansions. The campaign idea sounds like fun.ReplyDelete
I honestly hope that they continue with small number of models released per book but up the fluff page count. It would give some time to those who have vanished from the story. (Siege, comes to mind.)Replies
It's not necessarily the models. As long as there isn't power creep I'm OK with it. Thing is it feels to me with Battle Engines and now the Colossals like they're trying to up the scale of the game. I'm not totally down with that. I like where the game sits now. It's in a good place, a happy medium between teeny tiny skirmish games and bigger all out massive scale games like WFB, 40k or the offerings from Mantic. If they start pushing the overall model count required they'll lose more people than they'll gain I think.Delete

A poem to Linda from Hagar and friends
Linda's friend, Hagar, decided to dedicate a poem to Linda's life. She asked her friends for memories of Linda and then composed this tribute which she read out at Linda's funeral last week. Here is an extract, you can download the full poem below, a very fitting tribute:

Thanks Penny.
Re: A poem to Linda from Hagar and friends
I found the funeral service very moving, especially the tributes from Hagar and the French lady. It isn't easy to stand in front a packed church at such an emotional time, they did very well, as of course did Andy. Linda would have been proud, let's hope she was looking on!
Re: A poem to Linda from Hagar and friends
I am sure she is. We will all miss her very very much.

Thank You To Our 2015 SponsorsPresenting Sponsors:
To A New Year
What a year. What a time. What a blast we have had. My mom and I will write some of this post together.
My life is so great. I feel so great most of the time. I have these bad migraines and have to stop doing some things, but I am loving doing school at home. My mom is the best teacher ever!
I work hard and I am getting so much better at crafts and creations and I have time for it all now. My schedule is so perfect. Even when I don't want to do school work we set the timer and I get it done.
This new year 2015 I have tons of projects and big assignments, and I will get them all done. My mom will help me.
Yes! Kennedy is a hard worker and every time someone tells me how "sorry" they are for her "situation" I have to let them know that this "situation" is our normal everyday life. We love it and as the days go on, we are having a better time figuring it all out.
No more heavy appointments for a few weeks and in the meantime we are going to be learning a ton, hanging out, and enjoying this new year filled with new possibilities.
Be on the lookout for the amazing things Kennedy will be doing in 2015!!!
Best Halloween Ever
I don't like the holiday Halloween. I never did. I realized when I was younger that I couldn't eat all the candy you go around and get so what is the point?
There is no point at all. People in masks costumes with loud sounds. I kind of hate all of it.
I don't think it is good to make children who hate halloween go to the trick or treating. What is the point of that? Kids should have more control over the holiday fun stuff.
My mom never makes me go. She buys me costumes or makes them every year but never makes me go. She asks me all the time but when the holiday is here she lets me just stay home. We used to give out candy but my mom hates the GMOs. I hate them too. So then we gave out healthy stuff like bags of pretzels and apple slice bags whole oranges and stuff. but kids threw them in our trash can and didn't eat them.
Now we don't waste our time or money. Instead we went out of town and had so much fall fun!
My point is that you can make whatever holiday traditions and stuff that you want to. Especially my special friends. We just go with the wind and my mom has taught me not to care what anyone else is doing. just to do my own thing.
So I went out of town and got some makeup! We spent the trick or treat night watching scary movies with candles and pajamas. It was the best night ever.
glad halloween is all the way over and the scary pumpkins will go away.
I Missed Some School
I love to go to school. I love being home for school. I don't even know how/why I get these headaches all the time.
So my mom said that I just needed to stay home in the bed today to fully rest. I felt a little bit better and even closed my eyes not a nap at one point.
I am happy to be home for school . My mom loves me and gives me hugs all day. All the time. I am so lucky to have a mom like my mom.
So missing school is good when I miss it and good when I am feeling better.
It's Been a Long Time...Sorry!
I have been very busy. For a few weeks I was very sick and I do NOT like to talk to people when I am feeling sick.
I have some Chiari friends who like to read about and see/hear when I am sick but not all the time I want to do it.
You get it right?
Well, the Fall is here and I just love it. After my bad allergies stop bothering my nose and face and eyes, I just love the leaves and taking short walks- although my right leg has been hurting me. It almost burns. WEird right?
School is killer crazy hard!! I love it though. Some days I even cry because it is so hard, but I am feeling very smart and am making A's and just some B's. At my old school I think I was the "sick kid" and got treated a little special.
That was good because I needed it, but at my new school I made sure no one knows that I am sick so I am just like everybody else.
This is what special kids want. we want to be just seen just like \all kids because we are LIKE ALL KIDS!! I will make a video about this this week. just about this topic.
Well, I have to go. I have tons tons tons of work and did a test in geometry and got a 106! I found the missing angles of scalene triangles and the missing angle of parellograms too! I am wicked smart.
Nothing stops me. I even got lots of gold stars.
I Love Weekends
No matter how old I get I just love Dr. Seuss. I love him.
Another thing I love are weekends. This weekend I got a game I ordered in the mail. Pokemon White and all I want to do is play it but my stupid headaches keep getting in the way. I have to stop and take breaks.
Also my mom is calling my doctor this week. I have been very sick lately and it just sucks. I have a good feeling that I am just fine, but I have to.
Ugh. Oh well, off to play my games.
I Can't Believe It
Look what I found.! I can't believe less than a year ago the doctors told me that I wouldn't talk, walk, or breathe on my own.
Feeling good today. Yes I am.
I am strong.
And smart.
Fall is Coming!
School at home is HARD! Mom is much more strict than the teachers!
I think they treating me a bit like a baby. Mom is NOT.
I am mearning so much though. Already had 2 unit tests!! I feel so smart!
I am working so hard. Reading. Math. Literature. Tons of other stuff too.
This week I am very sick. So it is so rough. Mom has not slept at all. Awww man.
Okay going to bed.
Guess Who Is Changing Schools????
This has been one long Summer. It feels great not having any scheduled surgeries or scans. I do have to re start physical therapy though. UGH I am so bummed about it.
I have vestibular vertigo which makes me feel like the entire world is spinning 1000 times. So this is supposed to help. I hope my neurologist is right.
Well, I did spend the Summer thinking about school---or should I say my mom did. She worked so hard with new schools and making sure we found the best placement for me and we did!!!!!
I am NOT going back to my old school! I went there for 5 years if you count last year when I barely was there at all. Lol. Cyber school is such a great fit for me. I am so so so excited. I've met some new people already and am looking forward to still attending some of the fun stuff at my old school.
I will miss the few friends I have and definitely the teachers who have been so nice to me, but this is all for the best. I actually think that my mom is more excited than I am.
Now I don't have to be the sick kid in the class. Or the kid who is late (from doc appts) etc. I get a fresh new start!
Yay!!!!!!!!! BUT...it seems so much harder than regular school Lots more work. Lots more. But hey I'm 10 now I can do it!
Me- Kennedy!
Hey! I am a 10 year old girl living with Autism, chiari Malformation Type 1, Syringomyelia. I love to draw, paint, take photos, make crafts, and hang out with my mom. Life gets tough sometimes, but mainly I'm just a rocking girl like anyone else!

The 2-year-old son of James Harrison is �doing well� as he recovers from a serious wound inflicted by the star linebacker�s pit bull dog.
�I�m at the hospital now,� Bill Parise, Harrison�s agent, said Saturday afternoon from UPMC Children�s Hospital in Pittsburgh. �James� son is doing well. Obviously, James is very upset about what happened. But he�s doing well, too, all things considered.�
The boy, James Harrison III, was taken and admitted to Children's Hospital on Wednesday afternoon after suffering a deep thigh puncture. The child was bitten by Harrison�s pit bull �Patron� when the child�s mother left the dog out of its cage.
Parise described the injury �as serious but definitely not life threatening.�
The incident happened at Harrison�s home in Franklin Park.
Harrison, the Steelers� Most Valuable Player and the NFL�s Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, was not home at the time. He was at a nearby gymnasium working out.
�We�re hoping that James� son can go home in a day or so,� Parise said.
Parise added that Harrison has been in touch with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin as well as team chairman Dan Rooney and team president Art Rooney II.
The Steelers issued the following statement regarding the incident: �We are aware of this unfortunate situation. We express our concern for his family and hope that everyone involved makes a complete recovery.�
Even though Parise said he�s �been with that dog personally� and that �he�s a wonderful animal,� Harrison wants �Patron� to be killed.
Triangle Pet Control Services of McKees Rock has custody of the dog and is expected to put it to death via lethal injection later this week.
Also suffering minor dog bite injuries in the incident were the child�s mother, Beth Tibbott, and Harrison�s personal massage therapist.
Tibbott does not live with Harrison and their son.
�It was just an unfortunate accident,� Parise said.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Slocan Valley residents should receive a survey form on animal control within days.
Regional director Walter Popoff says ballots in the mail-in poll are expected to go out early this week and are due back by October 30.
He'll use the results to help him decide whether to proceed with creating the service.
"Hopefully we'll have all the information and I can make the call before the [November] election," he says. "If not, I'll make the call afterward if I'm re-elected. If I'm not re-elected, the incoming director will have all the information to make that decision."
Each property owner will get a ballot asking them if they're willing to pay $5.70 per $100,000 of assessed value annually toward the service, which would cover the entire valley except for Slocan, Silverton, and New Denver.
Popoff opted for the survey instead of a referendum because it's cheaper and he hopes it may actually result in a better response.

Check out our friends at The Picking Brains Podcast. They have posted an interview with the lovely Katharine Isabelle at http://picking-brains.com/2013/05/29/episode-29-katharine-isabelle-ginger-mary-on-screen-nudity/
This episode the guest is actress, Katharine Isabelle. Katharine has been a mainstay in the genre since her groundbreaking role in 'Ginger Snaps' and the subsequent sequels. She has also had roles in 'Freddy V.S. Jason', 'The X Files', and 'Insomnia' just to name a few. Her latest starring role in 'American Mary' really provides a showcase for her immense talent. I urge you to go and see 'American Mary' it is one of the best horror films to come out in the past few years. I only had 10 minutes with Katharine but it was put to good use as we discuss her roles of Ginger, Mary, her experiences on 'Freddy V.S. Jason' and her views on on-screen nudity. We also touch upon her father's amazing artistic talents and if any of those talents were passed on to her. It was an honor to speak with Katharine and hopefully she can come back for a future episode for a more in-depth discussion of her career and views of the industry. Thanks again to Katharine for the time and insight. In closing, go out and see 'American Mary' ASAP you won't be disappointed.
