Steamroller 2018 CID - Week One

The first iteration of the newest Steamroller 2018 scenarios were released on Monday, and by now, even those not on the CID forums have likely gotten a look at what's coming. Overall, it's far less drastic of a change than we saw moving from SR2016 to SR2017. Champions will require specific themes rather than only casters, the Divide & Conquer rule is gone, and three of the six steamroller scenarios have changed.

Battle Report: Cygnar (Stryker1 Heavy Metal) vs Cryx (Denny1 Ghost Fleet)

I got together recently with a friend who hasn't played warmachine in over a year. His Cryx models were gathering dust, so he pulled out the only army he could remember: Denny1 Ghost Fleet. He had to proxy a number of models, and had to tweak the army list a good bit since Denny's warjack points have been changed since he last played, plus he'd bought a few new models that didn't exist a year ago. I just played the list with which I'm most familiar.

Cygnar Wishlist

The latest big Cygnar release was all the Trencher stuff, which I found disappointing. My armies are mostly Storm Division and Heavy Metal - the only trenchers I own are an unassembled Maxwell Finn and an unassembled Chain Gun crew. And while the recent release of Bastian Falk was pretty cool, I've been mostly staying away from my Arcane Tempest models recently as well.

That said, here are some fun model ideas for future Cygnar releases.

Battle Report: Cygnar (Stryker1) vs Khador (Kozlov)

This was my second of two casual Stryker1 games at CaptainCon. It ended up being an immensely fun and very close matchup. I had a great time with this game. My opponent had a ball-busting list consisting of far too many boxes and an insane kayazy swarm.

Battle Report: Cygnar (Stryker1) vs Cygnar (Stryker2)

Before heading to CaptainCon, my intent had been to play Nemo3 a bunch and get familiar with the caster. But when I got an offer for a casual game, I immediately gravitated to the list with which I'm most familiar: Stryker1.
