MECHANICON 2009

BATTLE REPORT FROM GATEWAY GAMES

Adam plays WARMACHINE and HORDES at Gateway Games in Erie, PA. He's sharing this battle report with us detailing a recent game. For more information about playing WARMACHINE and HORDES at Gateway Games, go to:

http://s9.zetaboards.com/Niagara_Battle_Group/index/

Round one, Steve advanced across the battle field toward what seemed to be the army of the undead. Gorshade then ordered his forces to run to there positions, the Bane knights took cover in some ruins that the seemed to just pass through with in a blink of an eye to morgal. Then some ghostly figures that resembled pirates headed right at morgals forces. While DJ and Nightmare moved up behind Gorshades forces.

Round two, Morgals forces moved into position and prepared for the charge on the creatures from hell that loomed in front of them. As Molik Karn fiercely gripped his blades egger for the battle to come after running to his position to the left flank.
Gorshade Chuckled at what was to come of the foolish skorne, as he called six more figures from hell itself and then commanded Bane Lord tarteruse to charge forth. With a large swing of his axe tarterous cut down three swords man and before the bodies could even hit the ground he and summoned them into the forces of the undead. The pistol wraith that sprung forward and managed to put two shots into the Rhinodon that weirdly turned its back to the dangers in front of him. While the soul hunters flanked the rest of the swords men and Veninators collecting souls as they go.

Round three, Morgals minions charged Bane Lord Tarterous after watching him cut down there allies in battle. He managed to survive there initial blows, but then Molik Karn had had enough of this monstrosity in front of him and charge to land a parting blow to the fiend that just seemed to disappear in front of them. The Swords man and Karax attempted to position them self’s to counter the soul hunters who swiftly caught them by surprise. They managed to dispatch one and severally wound the other two.
The veninators then attempted to gun down the rest of the house like creatures that were in front of them. The Karax kneeled so that the veninators could attempt to Combine there shots into there targets. With quick reflexes the soul hunters dodge the shots and two poor Karax grunts feel in line of the shots that missed.

After taking such loses gorshade depleted his energy shield which seemed to grant these metal monsters in front of him the power to do there worst. As Gorshade advanced up he put his arms up and with after speaking fewer words a pulse of what seemed to be a invisible power rained out of gorshade and the Skrone forces seemed to be unable to us there magic abilities. Then the Hells Nightmare Disappeared and Morgal were shocked to see one of the Ghost like pirates disappear and then the War jack materialize in front of him. Striking him with all its fury. Morgal managed to evade most of the attacks but the two that had glanced him left him very wounded. In the back round Bane Knights moved into position to charge, behind the bile thralls which seemed to just deflate in front of them onto the unsuspecting Cataphract Cetrati. After being wounded by what seemed to be a strong acid there where charged by the bane thralls which seemed to weaken there armor. The bane thralls managed to strike down two members of there unit.

Round 4, after feeling the cold steel of what seemed to be his worst nightmare he ordered the Cataphract to charge the bane thralls that failed to complete the charge at them. As Morgals Advisor had interrupted to point out a moment of weakness in then eerie Gorshades field setup. This would give him great tactical advantage and a chance to lay waste to the evil forces in front of him. Morgal Vanished behind the Metal monster and then began to advance into position and then spoke the ancient tongue of the skorne and gave the Cataphract what seemed to be the ability to pass through there enemies in front of there faces. They advanced up to Gorshade as left some what defenseless and then began to strike him in combined attacks. The first blow seemed to almost take the life right out of him as the second group managed to miss the commander in front of then which was neither his end. After collecting his thoughts from what was thought to almost be frenzied Molik Karn charged the weakened Gorshade. His first blades managed to miss with out be able to focus his mind to guide his strikes. While the agonizors scream peirced gorshades arcane focus and denied him the ability to force nightmare.

Gorshades Bane Knights charged forth to save there leader from impending doom. The quickly dealt with the Cataphract with massive blows from there axes. The foolish leader in a daze casted his cloak of shadows upon himself and prepared for the worst to come. Death Jack then Vanished and reappeared next to Morgal as he felt that his final blow was upon him. He gave a sigh of relief when the frightening Death Jack missed with both attacks. But Nightmare came approached from behind managing to deal a little more damage to morgal but unable to become the dealer of death.

Turn five, The Last thing Gorshade heard was the war cry of Molik Karn as he yelled off with his head and laid the final blow to Gorshade.

TEMPLECON 2010 INFORMATION

From http://www.templecon.org ...

TempleCon 2010 - now with more space!

Actually, all hokiness aside, we really do have more space this year - nearly twice the space that we had for TempleCon 2009. We've listened to your requests and moved to a whole new venue with more affordable rooms and free parking to take some of the sting away from your wallet, while still maintaining our high standards for quality and luxury. Plus, the gaming and main performance areas of the convention are all on one floor now (yay! no more stairs!), and in spacious rooms that are close by each other rather than spilling over into rambling corridors.

If you came to TempleCon 2009 and felt like you needed a shoehorn to fit into the board game room, you will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of space we've set aside for both open board gaming and scheduled board game events. V:tES still gets quite, out-of-the way space to facilitate concentration, while Magic and other CCGs now get a glorious and spacious atrium room to throw down in. Wargamers get even larger rooms specially devoted to a huge array of our custom-build terrain tables to give you superior battles, and for WARMACHINE/HORDES players, the scenario tables are back!

Thanks to your feedback, RPG players now get a large room devoted solely to multiple role-playing events, close to the main area of the con, but less noisy than in 2009. And TempleCon 2010 features two brand-new LARPs - one created by the fine folks at Unhallowed Metropolis, who are coming out from Seattle especially to introduce you to their own nefarious brand of Neo-Victorian horror. Our second LARP continues in the fine World of Darkness Vampire: the Masquerade tradition, with a Sabbat twist that we think you'll love. Retro-futurist creepiness at its finest!

Our huge new LAN Room now offers both our perrenial favorite Xbox 360 tournaments and Wii events, plus now players have the opportunity and space to bring their PC gaming equipment and link up with other TempleCon members for the mother of all LAN parties!

And to further TempleCon's special blend of retro-futurist mayhem that you've all come to know and love, we are bringing in more workshops, more performances, more photo opportunities, more contests, more parties, more vendors - in short, more of all the excitement that makes TempleCon the premiere retro-futurist gaming and fandom experience. Not only will we feature more performance artists and dancers, we are also adding live music to the mix and a special "Diesel, Deco, and Dance" event featuring the best of New England DJs spinning with a retro-futurist twist.

MAKING PLANS FOR WHATEVER!! IN THE DUBOIS MALL

I got a chance to hang out at Whatever!! in the DuBois Mall for a bit tonight. We talked about the on-going League and how the players are happy with the participation. There are at least two new players who have expressed interest, and I made contact with a gentleman named Dave from near the State College area who might be interested in coming out for some gaming as well. So I'm glad to see some possible growth in numbers.

Also, the guys expressed interest in some tournaments for the coming months. They'd like to get in some small events here and there when I have time. Once my schedule change goes into effect at work, I'll have Thursdays and Fridays off. So that opens up the possibility for some events here and there depending on the availability of players and so forth.

We even might sneak in a MONPOC event here or there. We'll have to wait and see.

So things look good for WHATEVER!!. As long as the players and the store staff are happy, that's a good thing.
