Warmachine Practicemachine Episode 2: Barnabas 2 vs Oriax

Hey Nerds.
This was a rare outing to the local shop for me for minis night. I managed to convince my friend Andrei to come join me with his gorgeous purple Orgoth. It was a fun match-up with some neat interactions and some sharing of soul/corpses.
Thank you to The Connection Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, for hosting our game this evening. www.theconnectiongames.com/
Minis night is Wednesdays and Sunday afternoons.

Gatormen are the best. One of the most fun armies to paint and they look wonderful on the table. Orgoth are okay too. 😜

[@DanRaven88]

Great quality game! Croak raiders are the TOAD-al package! 😂

[@NetherworldStudio]

At 24:23: Wind storm is when a friendly model in your control range is target by a ranged attack it suffers -3 range. So War boar MMD 47 doesn't need to be in Orriax's control range to get -3 range. He cant shoot the orgoth jacks from that distance with wind storm active.

[@thedescriptivebaker]

Yup, we both screwed that up. Got confused with Mark 3 Stormwall.

[@platypus_slayer1]

love some "basedboss"2 play, one of my favorite models. How is he in mk4? in mk3 he was fun but a bit underwhelming. thanks for the vid!

[@thedescriptivebaker]

Yes Barnabas the Lord of Blood is available to play in Blindwater Congregation in both Mark 4 Prime and Unlimited formats. I've enjoyed playing him a lot and I think he has competitive potential, however Barnabas, and Blindwater is not the most competitive option you could choose.

[@DasDevilSquid]

Nice battle report. Just a note, your microphone is real close to your mouth, so we get a lot of loud 'breathing' noises during the game, specifically when you inhale a certain way.

[@thedescriptivebaker]

Yes I've learned this about myself. The downside to being old and fat.

[@DasDevilSquid]

@@thedescriptivebaker I feel you on that one. I can only imagine the random noises i would hear if i recorded myself during a game and listened to it.

[@jfish91]

@@thedescriptivebaker i know it takes more work, but you could always edit out the breathing, or just do a voiceover so there aren't also random game store conversations.

[@thedescriptivebaker]

​@jfish91 yup I totally could. This is very rudimentary. We are slowly improving things. This is not my primary skills set. So we put up raw video. The other option is nothing at all. So it's up to you whether you enjoy them this way or not. Fortunately it's completely free even though it is not for me.
