All Your Focus Are Belong To Us: Profiling Nemo1

Nemo1 has been my favorite caster in the game for a while. Maybe it's because nobody would ever think to take him to a tournament, maybe it's for the same reason that I've vowed to never play a Haley, or maybe it's because he's been so disregarded for so long. Maybe all those reasons are actually the same reason. In any event, I loves me some pNemo. Let's do a deep dive on my favorite caster and see what makes the lecherous old coot tick.

Unplayable Trash: Stormsmith Stormcallers

I'm writing the "unplayable trash" series as a counter to the "in every list" series to discuss models that are respectively the worst and best in Cygnar. This week: stormsmith stormcallers.

I'll admit, since we went to Mk3 and they lost disruption on every shot, I don't think I've put stormcallers on the table once. Well, maybe once, but not much at all.

They have some very cool tools, but it's a pity how seldom those tools become relevant, especially in the current meta.

Module: Stormclad / Stormblade Captain / Arlan Strangewayes

In Warmachine, people will often refer to a "module", by which they mean a small group of models that have synergies and function very well together. I'm about to cover one of my personal favorites. I first used it in a Caine2 list, and more recently in my Stryker2 list. It's wicked good, guys.

Hobby Corner: Assembling Storm Lances

Storm Lances on the table

Storm lances. Every Cygnar player's favorite unit, and everyone else's most hated model. They're Cygnar's best (and arguably only good) unit, and the game's best cavalry.

Why do they have to have electroleaps on both their shots and their melee attacks? Why assault? Why do other cavalry have the lance rule but not storm lances?

Today, I'd like to talk about how to put together storm lances, not how to play them. I hit some unique problems when putting these together, and I found what I think were some pretty good solutions. I'd like to share those so that anybody else who finds themselves frustrated at the same thing might search, find this article, and maybe save themselves a bit of pain.

Unplayable Trash: Long Gunner Infantry

Back in Mk2, I had one game where a gun line made of 7 gun mages, 6 long gunners, and the Black 13th absolutely trashed a Cryx dudeswarm of mechanithralls and banes. But in Mk3, the long gunners are considered unplayable trash. I'd like to take a moment today to consider why. Are the long gunners really unplayable? And if so, what would it take to get them to the table?
