Clashes in Immoren - Waiting for paint to dry

“The icy wind tore like a razor against her cheeks. If she had been any other women, the freezing wind would frozen her stiff where she stood. But Sorscha wasn’t like any other women. She was a Khadoran, therefore used to the winter cold. That was not all, she was also a Warcaster in the Khadoran military and among her magic talents was the ability to control the cold and the wind. Icy winds and snow blizzards was her natural environment. As she was running through the snow,  she wished she had called forth the snow tempest around her earlier. Then she might still have been riding on her horse.

Stubborn as she was, she had declined an escort of the Widowmaker squad that was leaving the outpost at the same time as she. Now she only had her self to blame. She could hear the Trollkin panting behind her, it seem like they were getting tired faster than her. The group of Trollkin warriors that ambushed her had killed her horse in the first volley. Fortunately, they were generally lousy shooters and she had escaped unhurt. If only one or two of her Juggernaut or Destroy warjacks had been with her, but they were still being repaired in Rorshik…”


Welcome to the series of blog posts featuring my venture into Warmachine and Hordes. Clashes in Immoren is about my exploration of the miniature hobby in the world of Warmahordes. In this series I will be exploring many sides of the miniature hobby, such as: the fluff, painting, modelling and competitive gaming. I have really never been much of a competitive gamer, but when taking a step into Warmahordes I might as well have a look at the tournament side of miniature gaming. Furthermore, I think that in my little neck of the woods competitive Warmahordes gaming is going to be fairly easy, since it is one of (if not the only) miniature game played in my friendly local game store (FLGS). The Clashes in Immoren series of posts will also focus on exploring the world of Immoren, through my imagination and hobby activities.

Todays blog post will be showing off the warjacks Sorscha was hoping for above. I am closing in on completion of my first two warjacks. A while back I got the Warmachine Two Player Battle Box and a blister of Widowmakers. The Khador faction is about halfway painted and with any luck I’ll be able to field them in my first game in 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, I’m increasing my rules knowledge by looking at the Warmachine League Season 4 over at MiniWargaming.
