A few weeks back, the Combo Smite crew attended the Southern Ontario Open (“the SOO”). This is the last “big con” that Combo Smite attends, and it is an incredible event.
This week, we managed to rope in one of the organizers AND the winner of the SOO Masters event back to the ‘cast. An incredible player, an incredible judge, just a incredible guy.
Give it a listen!
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, and enjoying time spent with family and/or friends! A new errata dropped last week, and Nick and I sat down and talked about all the changes, and how we see the shifting meta… plus how we feel about the shift in PP’s policies towards errata and playtesting!
Let us know what you think!
(Also, a head’s up: we’ve run into the wall for media space on Combo Smite, so Marc is going to have to start deleting old images… the audio will stay, so you can still listen to all of our ancient podcasts, but don’t be surprised if the pretty pictures start disappearing!… and, coincidentally, that’s why our header images are now… different…)
Okay, we didn’t REALLY cry that much. And to be completely honest, Cryx is still super-scary and very powerful… don’t believe me?
Give this OVER 5 HOUR Faction review a listen, and then tell us all the things we got wrong!
Just don’t talk to us about Bane Riders. Ugh.
So last weekend was GenCon, and like many of you out there we were super excited about the new warcasters released at the event (the “grown up” version of the Journeypeople warcasters).
Nick and I couldn’t wait to discuss them… so we didn’t! This is back to our usual 1 hour podcast format. The question on everyone’s mind… which are the best!?
I’ll give you a hint, folks: Nick and I agree about the best, the worst… and almost nothing else.
So we recorded the 2nd half of our OTC podcast this week, running through the games played by the Combo Smite Team 2 group, captained by Todd! Big thanks to Todd and Darrell for comin’ out to talk shop and run through their battles!
It’s that time of year again, folks… the Ontario Team Championships have come and gone. Nick and I managed to rope the two hosts of Arcane Assist into helping out with one of our teams this year, and it was an incredibly fun time!
A big thank you to Matt and Tim for helping out, both with the team and with this week’s podcast!
Time for a bit of a change of pace, folks! Instead of doing a battle report this week, we’d thought it would be informative and useful to talk a bit about the Masters format, and specifically the Active Duty Roster and Specialists that it grants!
Hello fine WarmaHorders! Or possibly HordeMachiners… both! Hi. How was your Valentine’s day? Would you all care for a little love from the world’s 2nd best WarMachine and Hordes podcast? Of course you would.
As promised, here is our wrap up episode from CaptainCon, including 6 games I (Marc) played, the 5 games Todd played, and the… one… game that Nick played.
This past weekend another tournament was held at The Game Chamber. This was a qualifier for the World Ender Invitational being organized by Party Foul. It was a great event and we were there to take some video Footage.
Enjoy.
Store Wars might be done for this year but there are still loads of tournaments around. This weekend Marc ran a small event in our own local London FLGS, The Game Chamber. It was a 50 pt Steamroller and players using ADR casters could take advantage of the 20pts of specialists as if this were a Master’s event.
I love the concept of ADR and my only complaint about the format is that nobody uses it since its only in the Master’s packet.
Enjoy
