Battle Report: Stryker2 vs Gorten

I had a chance to get in a game with a friend recently, in his unused garage which he's dubbed "The Battlebarn". Interestingly, as we started pulling out models, a thunderstorm began rolling in. This would be quite the thematic battle for Cygnar.

3D Terrain Just Looks Better

The more I've gotten into Warmachine, the more I've come to appreciate the look of the game as one of its primary appeals. I love fully painted armies on great-looking terrain. I spend more time on the hobby aspect of the game than do I playing, and maybe that's why I'm so focused on how everything looks.

That said, I think 3D terrain is just so much better than flat terrain. Sure, the flat stuff is great for cramming in a bag if you've got to travel, but my meta has had better luck just using the terrain of either whomever's house you're at, or else the terrain available at the game store.

I'll grant you - some 3D terrain is terrible. Structures that make it impossible to see what's on the other side, hills on which you can't stand a model without it falling over, or angles that make line of sight difficult to determine. If you've got any of those, you're generally better off just getting rid of it.
