Not Just Tactics

We're back and diving into hobby wins, battlefield stories, and a deep lore exploration of the Kithguard. Angus shares the saga of restoring a secondhand pirate boat model (complete with mystery primer meltdown), while Chris recaps a tough but fun tournament run filled with wild matchups, brutal dice, and colossal-heavy lists. The crew talks hobby progress, painting crunch, and teaching newer players before shifting into a rich breakdown of Trollkin history, from ancient origins and the rise of Madrak Ironhide to the migration to the southern continent of Alchiere. The episode wraps with the formation of the Kithguard and spotlight lore on key leaders like General Gunnbjorn, Stormcraw, and others, setting the stage for a deeper tactical dive in the next episode.Support the show herebuymeacoffee.com/notjusttacticsEnjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10https://discord.gg/77fyXNghZ4Facebook PageMusic made by Y.

In this episode, the crew finally delivers on a much delayed request and dives deep into Warmachine’s power attacks, breaking down headbutts, slams, throws, and tramples while mixing in real-game experiences and practical strategy. Between hobby updates, new model pickups, and one unfortunate lost parts incident, the conversation shifts into how and when to actually use these often-overlooked mechanics on the table. From clearing objectives with throws to creating devastating chain reactions with slams, the team explores both the rules and the real value behind these attacks. With insights and plenty of table-side storytelling, this episode highlights how power attacks can turn the tide of a game, that's if you can remember to use them.

NJT is back this week with Chris and Angus, dialing in remotely while Midwest storms threaten both internet stability and hobby progress. The crew kicks things off troubleshooting tech setups before diving into hobby updates, from Star Wars Legion projects to an alarming rediscovery of a massive Khador backlog. The conversation shifts into tactics and list-building discussions, especially around troll loadouts and playstyle choices, before landing on the realities of hobby life such as, balancing painting, work, and everything in between. The episode wraps with a big focus on community growth, shoutouts to listeners, and the start of a new listener-requested series covering hobby fundamentals like assembly tips, tools, and getting the most out of your builds.Support the showEnjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10https://discord.gg/77fyXNghZ4Facebook PageMusic made by Y.

This episode opens with a flooded basement after a sump pump failure during a Wisconsin storm, turning a stressful situation into a moment of pride as his kids jump in to help and reinforcing that real life comes first. From there, Tony and Angus catch up and recap AdeptiCon from their own perspectives, noting a hiccup but overall highlighting the positive experience of meeting people and engaging with the community. Their doubles event showcases how years of playing together allowed them to move quickly and efficiently without much discussion, creating plenty of memorable moments even in tough matchups. They also touch on gameplay elements like terrain, chess clocks, and preferred point sizes, landing on 50 and 75 points as their sweet spot, while Tony’s chaotic but exciting narrative event experience offers a contrast to competitive play. The Adepticon keynote adds some hype with upcoming models and system updates, and the conversation shifts into hobby progress, new armies, and future plans. The episode wraps with a strong focus on community building, sharing tools to help players connect, stories of meeting listeners, and ideas for expanding into streaming and more content, all reinforcing that it’s not just about the game, but the people behind it.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/77fyXNghZ4Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579772015913Music made by Y.

We recorded live from the wild, noisy(not so much after editing), and absolutely electric floors of AdeptiCon in Milwaukee, this episode drops you right into the middle of the action. Chris and I are boots-on-the-ground, soaking in everything the convention has to offer, from brutal doubles matches and brain-melting game marathons to unforgettable moments that only live events can deliver.The doubles tournament brought exactly what you’d expect: unfamiliar matchups, unpredictable chaos, and a whole lot of learning. Infernals remain a mystery to us, mechanical dwarves made their presence known, and Orgoth Butcher proved once again that sometimes a model just refuses to stop killing. Even with a few bracket shakeups and last-minute re-pairings, the games delivered big moments, not to mention a legendary underdog play where Riggles, AKA "Rattles", stepped up and threw down massive damage on a Wyvern, instantly earning battlefield glory and a promotion to Sergeant.Beyond the games, the AdeptiCon experience itself takes center stage. We dive into what makes events like this special, like meeting listeners, connecting with the community, and seeing the people behind the game fully immersed alongside the players. Steamforged Games gets major praise for being present, engaged, and genuinely part of the hobby, not just observers from afar. There’s also no shortage of hobby hype. From jumping into new armies with unbeatable convention deals to late-night painting sessions just to get models table-ready, the energy never slows down. I share my experience in a massive narrative event spanning multiple tables, complete with portals, split forces, and full-on strategic chaos that pushed my brain to the limit.As the episode rolls on, it becomes clear that this is more than just games, it’s about the community. Whether it’s meeting listeners face-to-face, getting called out for matches, or welcoming new and returning players into the fold, the passion for growing the scene is front and center. That theme continues with a guest interview highlighting a thriving local meta, the evolution of the Warmachine community, and why players are coming back stronger than ever in the current edition. By the end, one thing is certain: AdeptiCon isn’t just an event, it’s an experience. Equal parts exhausting and inspiring, it’s a reminder of why putting models on the table, rolling dice, and connecting with others is what this hobby is all about. Did I mention somewhere in all that chaos, Riggles became a legend.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579772015913Music made by Y.

In this episode, we gear up for AdeptiCon with a mix of excitement, chaos, and last-minute prep. From hobby crunch time and painting marathons to list building and theorycrafting, there’s a lot on the table, quite literally. Along the way there are questionable decisions made (or arguably the best ones), as new armies are dropped like Storm of the North and Kithguard enter the mix with changes to the lists, bringing both hype and a healthy dose of uncertainty.The conversation dives deep into the Infernals, breaking down their lore, their place in the greater Warmachine universe, and how they function on the tabletop. From extra-dimensional soul-harvesting entities to the mechanics of summoning and resource management, the discussion explores what makes them unique, intimidating, and just a little tricky to master. There’s also plenty of back-and-forth on list building, including what works, what doesn’t, and what might just flip the table if it shows up across from you. Beyond the theory, the episode keeps things grounded in real gameplay experiences like hard lessons from recent matches, the challenges of facing unfamiliar armies, and the ongoing process of learning a constantly evolving game. As AdeptiCon looms, the team talks expectations, team pairings, and the ever-present goal of getting games in while still finding time to explore everything the event has to offer.As always, it’s not just about tactics, it’s about the community, the shared stories, and the passion that keeps everyone coming back to the table.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579772015913Music made by Y.

We're back with another deep dive into Warmachine, where the dice were questionable, the plays were clutch, and the teamwork paid off. Tony and Angus break down a hard-fought tag-team victory against Paul and Chris, running their AdeptiCon prep lists and testing out key tweaks. From clutch positioning and lane-clearing plays to standout performances from models like the Vorogger and Winter Guard, the game came down to coordination and capitalizing on openings. Even with some brutal dice luck on both sides, the duo managed to swing the mid-board brawl and secure the win and proving that smart plays can overcome bad rolls.The conversation then shifts into AdeptiCon prep, list adjustments, and whether certain models (looking at you, Mailis and Craghorn) are worth the slot. From fury management mistakes to control vs aggression debates, there’s plenty of tactical reflection as the team gears up for one last practice game.Finally, the crew dives into Grymkin lore and theorycrafting, uncovering surprising origins, discussing caster options like The Dreamer, The Child, and The Heretic, and brainstorming everything from competitive builds to completely unhinged ideas like including the infamous “eight incorporeal crabbit” list. It’s a mix of battle recap, strategy talk, and wild list-building energy. All while keeping the focus on what matters most: the community, the laughs, and the game beyond the dice.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579772015913Music made by Y.

In this episode, we switch things up a bit! Angus joins remotely as the team experiments with a new recording setup, Chris is out for the night, and returning guest Jon jumps back in to talk Warmachine, recent games, and the road to Adepticon. We kick things off with a look back at a recent practice match where Tony and Jon teamed up for a 50-point practice Adepticon duos battle. What followed was a tough learning experience against some skilled opponents from Franklin. From rough seas shutting down ranged attacks to a battlefield full of stacked buffs, the we see the break down what went wrong, what went right, and the lessons learned along the way.We also recap our Sunday gaming session where Tony and Angus teamed up against Jon and Paul in another team battle scenario. There were big plays, unexpected survivability, a heroic war dog holding down a hill, and a few tactical mistakes that kept things interesting right up to the end. Along the way the discussion covers list building, faction synergy, model performance, and how different strategies played out on the table. We also talk about upcoming plans for Adepticon, the Content Creator meetup, trying out new games like Trench Crusade, and what we’re most excited to see at the convention.Whether you’re prepping for your next tournament, learning a new army, or just enjoying the hobby side of War Machine, this episode is full of insights, laughs, and plenty of tabletop storytelling.

We sit down and catch up on our recent hobby progress before diving into the lore of the Trollkin warlock Ragemonger. Tony shares a recent game story where his son Jon showed strong improvement and even managed to defeat him after a dramatic assassination attempt failed by a single hit box.The main discussion focuses on Ragemonger’s backstory. Once a proud Trollkin warrior, he arrogantly ignored his elders and hunted a young Gorgandur to prove his strength. The act led the creature’s parent back to his village, resulting in the destruction of his entire creel. Consumed by guilt, Ragemonger began seeking increasingly dangerous battles, hoping to die gloriously in combat to atone for his mistake. Despite repeatedly throwing himself into deadly situations, fighting raiding warbands, monstrous beasts, and other overwhelming threats. He just always survives through a mix of skill, luck, and strange twists of fate. His repeated survival leads some followers to believe he is unkillable.Eventually, Ragemonger joins the Brineblood fleet and continues hunting powerful enemies. In one notable encounter, he battles a massive shark, even stabbing it from inside after being swallowed. The creature eventually beaches itself and expels him alive. He then adopts a shark pup named Kharka and files his teeth into shark-like points in honor of the battle.We also briefly discuss his tabletop rules, highlighting that he is a highly aggressive melee-focused cavalry warlock designed to support Trollkin and Dire Troll models. His abilities reward charging into combat and buffing nearby allies. The episode closes with light banter about army lists, hobby projects, and plans for the upcoming Adepticon, where they hope to meet listeners and play games.

Angus may be out (voice still MIA), but the hype train rolls on as Tony and Chris dive headfirst into all things Kithguard and Adepticon prep. The Troll boxes have arrived, the resin feels different (and possibly better), and it’s officially crunch time to assemble, prime, and paint before the big event.The guys break down their expanding collections, magnetizing plans, and list tweaks while sharing how the new casual packet is shaping up in real games. Chris talks through his early reps with Kithguard, including trapdoor plays, ambush timing lessons, and what happens when you forget to save fury for transfers. There’s plenty of theorycrafting, battlefield adjustments, and excitement over new releases, alternate sculpts, and upcoming drops as the faction continues to grow.Then it’s on to lore time.This week’s deep dive focuses on Midas, the grisly bone grinder warlock of the Thornfall Alliance. From his obsession with dissecting beasts to taming the first true bivore and challenging Emperor Carver himself, Midas’ story is equal parts savage and strategic. The crew unpacks his battlefield rules, including his feat Pet Cemetery, and explores the wild potential of resurrecting warbeasts mid-game to swing momentum back in your favor.Along the way, they talk Adepticon plans, Duos and Iron Arena prep, narrative campaign excitement, hobby deadlines, community shoutouts, and the ever-growing Book of Opinions (and Book of Grudges). One listener even jumps into Brinebloods after hearing the show, proving once again that this community is growing the right way.Trolls are getting built. Lists are getting locked. Adepticon is looming and as always, we’re Not Just Tactics.

It’s Warmachine Wednesday, and this episode is packed.We break down the newly announced Tales from the Front Line casual play packet and why it might be exactly what our group has been looking for. From Journeyman League support to full campaign systems and random battlefield events, this update feels like a shift toward narrative-driven play and we’re here for it. Starting the game already in combat? Random encounters mid-match? Deployment zones that shake up traditional positioning? Yes, please. We talk candidly about Steamroller play versus casual formats, and why we’re discovering that while competitive play is fun, our real passion might live in longer-form campaigns, story arcs, and thematic armies that look good on the table. As returning players, we’re learning in real time, which is sometimes the hard way and sharing what that process actually looks like.On the tabletop side, we dive into 50-point games, Kithguard tunnel mechanics, objective scoring mistakes, and what happens when you send too many models underground and forget someone has to hold flags. We also discuss upcoming local events, Adepticon prep, duos strategy, and how smaller point games are shaping our growth as players. There’s hobby talk too about our painting progress, model excitement (especially those upcoming trolls), and speculation about future releases of the core box for Kithguard. We touch on legacy factions, returning armies like Infernals and Grymkin, and how Steamforged is working to support both competitive and casual communities at the same time.Most importantly, we talk about community — how we’re building ours, why we value sportsmanship over pure win-rate, and why we don’t pretend to be experts. We’re returning players rediscovering the game alongside new hobbyists, learning rules corrections as we go, and encouraging others to jump in with us. If you’re excited about narrative play, curious about the new casual packet, prepping for events, or just enjoy honest hobby conversations with a few side tangents and laughs along the way than this one’s for you.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠⁠Music made by Y.

The paint desk is busy, the printers are humming, and the storm is rolling in. This week we dive deep into hobby progress and tournament prep in the world of Warmachine. NJT shares step-by-step updates from the community paint-along (including the “oops, I skipped a photo” moment), experimenting with speed paints, new color choices, and finally braving some fine detail work. Meanwhile, the 3D printers are running nonstop because apparently restraint isn’t part of the hobby plan.We break down the Thunderhead reveal and why this storm-charged powerhouse has us buzzing. Between stacking damage from Chain Reaction, launching servitors across the battlefield for some slam attacks, and unleashing shock fist beatdowns, this model brings serious electricity to the table. We talk through what makes it exciting, how it might shift some lists, and why it’s so tempting to pivot entire army plans around it.On the organized play side, we’re gearing up for our upcoming 50-point Steamroller event at Second City Games, discussing scenario selection, community growth, and what it looks like to step back from organizing and focus more on playing. From there, we look ahead to April’s planned jump to 100 points and what that escalation means for list building, prep time, and getting meaningful reps in before Adepticon.We also reflect on recent practice games, proxy experiments, and the importance of understanding order of operation , because sometimes the difference between victory and disaster is simply sequencing correctly. With the return of Infernals, Grimkin, and Convergence on the horizon, we explore the excitement (and confusion) around some of the more unique mechanics in the game and what kind of delightful chaos they might bring to our local scene.Whether you’re here for the tactics, the hobby grind, the wild list ideas, or the community building, this episode captures what makes this game special.We’re Not Just Tactics.We’re building armies.We’re building friendships.We’re building the community around the game we love.Now check your threat ranges, allocate your focus, and let’s roll some dice.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:⁠⁠⁠http://www.Torstenandharvester.com⁠⁠⁠Use Code: notjusttactics10⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/NotJustTactics⁠⁠⁠Music made by Y.

In today's episode things escalate fast. The conversation starts and rockets through Starship Troopers hot takes, legendary arguments over which movies “exist,” and a reminder that while Warmachine is king, the table is always open for other games, especially when giant bugs or powered armor are involved.Then Tony takes on Chris in a no-holds-barred lore showdown to determine who walks away with an Extreme Craghorn model, featuring bold guesses, questionable confidence, and the shocking discovery that sometimes going with your gut actually works.Then it’s time to get serious (kind of).The team dives deep into the brand-new Kithgard, breaking down trapdoor mechanics, tunneling tricks, sneaky solos, and brutal combo setups that reward smart sequencing and punish sloppy play. Expect detailed talk on Craghorn, Mailis, jungle trolls, Scrappers, solos, and warbeast loadouts, plus plenty of “this is going to be disgusting” moments when the synergies start stacking.Along the way, there’s Adepticon planning, duos tournament dreams, painting challenges, potential community trivia nights, model giveaways, and the eternal Warmachine truth: everything dies… eventually.If you love lore debates, tactical deep dives, wild list theory, and friends who roast each other as hard as they roast opposing armies, this episode delivers.

In this episode, we sit down with Kyle from Arcane Precision, https://linktr.ee/Arcaneprecision, the Warmachine focused podcast dedicated to rebuilding and strengthening the community around the game we love. Kyle shares his journey from early tabletop wargaming through Mark II, III, and into the evolving landscape of Mark IV, and how Arcane Precision grew out of a desire to reconnect players and foster a healthier, more welcoming scene.We dig into accessible entry points like Command Starters, the sweet spot of 30–50 point games, and why Warmachine remains one of the most tactically rewarding systems out there. The conversation also covers rebuilding local metas, welcoming returning players, and balancing competitive play with casual fun.Kyle also breaks down Food Machine, a charity-driven Warmachine event that turns friendly “cheating” into real-world impact, raising money for local food banks while keeping the game lighthearted and inclusive. From community and rules bloat to painted armies, content creation goals, and stompy robots, this episode is all about why Warmachine still matters.

From discussing their top picks and biggest concerns about the changes, to planning their two-player tournament shenanigans at the upcoming convention, the crew keeps it real about what's working (and what's not) in their favorite tabletop game. Plus: broken egg product reviews, token talk, and why Team NJT Concrete Shoes might be the funniest (and worst) tournament team ever assembled.

What happens when two sharp teen players enter a table full of veterans armed with Sorscha tech, Cygnar gunlines, and a stack of house lore? You get a fast, funny, and surprisingly deep look at how new competitors learn, adapt, and fall in love with Warmachine by one painted model and hard lesson at a time.We kick off with honest hobby talk: painting sprints that could churn out a hundred points in days, the pride of showing up with finished models, and the real-world hurdles of priming in cold weather. From there, we dive into list building for a 30-point, beginner-friendly event and why a warjack, unit, and solo requirement nudges better fundamentals, and how veterans can set the tone by avoiding oppressive combos. The teens explain what hooks them: flexible lists, a user-friendly app, and a community that teaches rather than gatekeeps.Favorite casters and feats take center stage, like Deneghra’s control tricks, Dekathus’s soul-fueled focus spikes, and Mortenebra Perfected’s resurrection debates all while we run the numbers on Deathjack durability, charge math, and when to boost. The bigger lesson: play peers to build confidence, play veterans to stress-test, then iterate fast. Losses become data, and the next game is always the best game.If you care about Warmachine growth, youth mentorship, or just tighter games, this conversation is a blueprint: keep reps frequent, feedback specific, and the table welcoming.

Send us a textRitual flame meets hard tactics as we unpack the Fire Tongue Warriors and the Bullcroak way of war. We start with the culture that shapes every rule: a creation myth binding sea and sky, canoe-borne battles, and a code that prizes honor, warning, and measured conflict. That lens makes the army click. Fire Guardians become more than stones with a buff aura; they’re the living memory of a village. War dances aren’t just noise; they’re psychological warfare that sets tempo before dice ever roll.From there we move piece by piece through the models changing our lists. Bagadibawm rewards bold positioning, stacking free animi with a localized damage boost that turns continuous fire into a win condition. Vorogger is the sleeper beast: Drag to isolate, Impervious Flesh to shrug chip damage, and Flaming Fists to push damage over the line. Mawga’Bawza steals scenes as a soul-denying conductor who nudges charges and cleanses threats; as a solo she’s potent, and we make the case for a future warlock incarnation. Firespitters deliver range 10 pressure that scales with proximity, while Spirit Shamans provide the anti-magic toolkit that some lists need, while Hexbolt is used to shut down special actions and mage static to tax enemy casters when it matters most.We also talk real table results. How do you choreograph overlapping auras so continuous fire actually swings the attrition curve? When is Shield Wall worth the tempo hit? Where does a second Vorogger add value, and where does it crowd your plan? Expect honest takes on feats that feel off-theme yet powerful, and guidance on scenario play where Bullcroaks excel by controlling space rather than chasing kills. Plus, hobby wins and paint tips: test masks, heat-weathered effects, and using concept art as a reliable guide to get a 50-point force game-ready without getting stuck.If you’re into Warmachine strategy, faction lore that matters, and practical list building you can use tonight, this one’s for you.

Send us a textWhat happens when you design a tournament to teach first and stress last? We walk through our blueprint for a welcoming Warmachine event: a 3x3 board, six-inch deployments, 30 points, assassination as the win condition, and no clocks. After rounds of playtesting and terrain tweaks, we landed on a format that respects time without rushing decisions, so newer players can absorb rules, measure cleanly, and still feel the thrill of a decisive assassination run.We also get candid about list building and restraint. Angus flirts with Crucible Guard combos that layer oil, fire, and boosted damage, while Chris dusts off Menoth with Kreoss, Exemplars, and Cinerators. We weigh power against teaching and how to bring sharp tools but use them to explain lines of play rather than table a newcomer by turn two. Along the way, we talk model choices, why the Retaliator sometimes beats Apollo, and what makes 30-point lists sing on a smaller battlefield.Lore fans won’t be left out. Our reactions to Craghorn’s story highlight how narrative shapes the factions we love and the armies we paint. Trollkin prejudice, tough choices, and a mercenary path add grit to gameplay, pushing us to build events where theme and mechanics meet. That energy flows into our community push: we’ve opened Discord with regional channels, refreshed our Facebook and Instagram, and started experimenting with recorded games and potential VOD access.Behind the scenes, we hit download milestones and share a transparent plan to stay ad-free. A “buy me a coffee” link and possible Patreon tiers could fund better audio equipment, video content, and various other things without interrupting your feed.

Send us a textPlans that started as a simple creative outlet turned into a fast-growing Warmachine community, and we’re taking a breath to recap what worked, what surprised us, and what’s next. We share real wins and fun misfires from past team events, then lay out our Adepticon goals and why you’ll see us roaming in NJT shirts, dice at the ready and schedules packed.We announce a 30-point beginner-friendly tournament at Second City Games in Highland Park with a clean format that mirrors command starter builds. Expect coaching, list help via Longshanks, and spare painted armies available so newer players can jump in. We also spotlight Kithguard preorders, including practical assembly notes for complex kits, and a listener discount to make starting or expanding an army easier.There’s heart here too. A listener’s message about loss prompts a candid story about how tabletop gaming can anchor you through grief. Between laughs about juggernaut lists and midnight group chats, we talk about why games matter: structure, friends, and small wins that stack into something bigger. From there we dig into the January rules update saying goodbye to the spell rack, clearer caster identity, likely shifts in lethality and what that means for list diversity, tournament clocks, and on-table decisions for both veterans and newcomers.We’re exploring recorded games, possible streaming from the shop’s feature table, and maybe even an Iron Kingdoms RPG series if enough of you want it.

Send us a textWant a blueprint for growing a miniatures community that lasts? We sat down with Stephen to trace a path from a 1997 hobby spark to a thriving Gulf Coast Warmachine network that stretches from Pensacola to Mobile, Mississippi, Georgia, and New Orleans. The through-line is simple and powerful: shape events around people, not just pairings. That means charity brawls with heart, narrative arcs that welcome casual players, and store partnerships that prioritize space, schedule, and support.We trade notes on beginner on-ramps that actually work, like choosing starter forces with fewer layered rules and designing teaching nights that reward curiosity over perfection. Stephen shares how moderating the Warmachine & Hordes Beginners group informed a “first-contact” ethos: greet with a smile, answer plainly, and make space for new voices. We also explore how online content is fueling growth again, with fresh channels breaking down fundamentals, list-building, and lore without the gatekeeping vibe that scares people away.Of course, we nerd out on models. The Kithguard trolls have us buzzing about ambush mechanics, kit-bashed aesthetics, and a reimagined gargantuan that looks ready to stomp into stories and tournaments alike. We weigh in on starter boxes like why Frozen and Forgotten lands so well and how to connect paint nights to play nights by looping in school art clubs and youth gamers. The goal isn’t a perfect meta. It’s a ladder anyone can climb: show up, play, learn three things, and come back next month.Whether you’re rebuilding a scene or just getting your first 30 points on the table, this conversation offers practical steps, honest encouragement, and a reminder that the next champion might start with a borrowed army and a warm welcome.

Send us a textBone charms rattle, crows gather, and an old city wakes. We head into Old Korska to unpack why Old Umbrey feels both feral and frighteningly precise: a subfaction where Zevanna Agha’s legend meets modern rifles, where corpse tokens fuel warbeasts, and where one well-marked prey target disappears under disciplined fire and sudden teeth. If you’ve ever wondered how Baba Yaga energy becomes a tournament plan, this is the map.We start with the fault lines in Kador’s history—Kardovic’s unification, Umbra’s resentment, and the Old Witch’s long game—then track Bohdan Lesnoi from Greylord infiltrator to architect of Umbreys resurgence. His Bird’s Eye vision and control range set the board, while Strix delivers reactive movement and post-roll boosts that clean up variance. Vorony, the not-so-inconspicuous crow, anchors a corpse economy: absorbing hits with Ancient Shroud, hoarding tokens, and shuttling them to primevals for grievous wounds and charge efficiency. The Witchmarked Totem pressures space with permanent armor debuffs, making every shot and swing hit harder.We dive into the Chosen of the Witch and the debate between lore fit and raw utility, then show how Galena’s prey engine brings it all together—stacking terrain, curses, and marksmanship to erase priority pieces. On the heavier side, Gorgers become modular answers: pick heads for control or burst, choose Cat-O-Spine Tails to shred screens or Primal Club to break anchors, and use sprays and clouds to punish clumps. If you prefer finesse over brute force, Resnikova seeds forests and turns line-of-sight into a weapon, inviting beasts to strike from cover and fade.Looking to demo Old Umbrey? We share proxy-friendly tips to protect fragile models and keep games flowing, plus magnetizing advice to future-proof your kits as point costs and rules evolve. Whether you come for the lore or the list tech, Old Umbrey rewards players who like layered decisions—resource routing, terrain shaping, and surgical violence. If this unlocked new ideas or got you hyped to build Umbrey, tap follow, share with a friend who loves Kador deep cuts, and drop a review with the one model you’d field first.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:http://www.Torstenandharvester.comUse Code: notjusttactics10Support the showMusic made by Y.

Send us a textA fourth Juggernaut just hit the desk, the kids are calling shots at 50 points, and our paint snow turned pink after varnish… so yes, we’re juggling hobby joy, real problems, and a whole lot of Khador. We kick off with why moving from 30 to 50 points unlocks the real game: more warjacks on the table, deeper synergies, and the tension between assassination lines and objective play. Then we hold court on the dreaded snow-bleed issue, comparing Citadel technicals, pigment reactivation, and Speedpaint 1.0 vs 2.0 to help you protect your bases and your sanity.From there, the mask drops and the knives come out. We break down SKS-6, Khador’s clandestine strike team from Section III, and show how the lore maps tightly to rules. Kaptain Zahara Velkul’s alchemical mask and Field Marshal Prowl convert clouds and cover into stealth and vision control. Razor brings rare Khador accuracy, grenade utility, and a shield-saw that forces bad trades. Sergeant “The Jackal” Lazarenko lives up to his name with the Jackbuster rocket with brutal damage, critical stagger, and Marksman to demolish the right columns. The Hounds arrive with advanced deploy, shield wall resilience, anti-blast assurance, and signature weapons that carve into infantry and heavies alike. If you like tempo theft, precision attrition, and tricks that punish sloppy positioning, this cadre is your toolbox.We widen the lens to the current Mark IV cadence: character-forward cadres, flavorful trios, and strong caster identities that make list building simple yet sharp. We sketch paths for Old Umbrey around Yana, debate Razor’s point efficiency versus broader chassis, and look ahead to Kithguard reveals and STL drops. Finally, stakes go narrative as we weigh the community’s power over Admiral Boomhowler’s fate with death, survival, or a Cryx turn.  Each with ripples for the meta and our armies. Come for the covert ops and stay for the practical tactics, honest hobby talk, and a few spicy predictions.If you enjoy the show, follow, share with a wargaming friend, and leave a quick review so more players can find us.

Send us a textA rogue with a badge isn’t supposed to be this effective. We open the case file on Allister Caine and the Hellslinger Starter Cadre.  How a rule-breaking gun mage, a rebuilt Black Thirteenth, and a purpose-built warjack named Deuce became Cygnar’s sharpest scalpel on the modern battlefield. From the stolen skyship that saved his daughter to a promotion earned by the spymaster who once hunted him, Caine’s story is messy, human, and surprisingly tactical.We connect the dots from early gun mage education to the Arcane Tempest’s formal training, mage lock firearms, and the doctrine that made precision fire a strategic pillar. Dixon Lynch’s innovations, the myth of the Hellslinger Phantom, and the recommissioned Black Thirteenth give this cadre real lineage. On the table, that history turns into tools: Caine’s witchmark into calamity sequencing, smart rack picks like Snipe or Deceleration, and Teleport that rescues overreach. Deuce backs the plan with true sight through clouds and stealth, arcane munitions that flex into blast or decrepitation, and focus economy near gun mages that keeps the damage rolling.Bastian Falk holds the center with leadership that grants Reciprocate—miss us and you get punished—and a rune-forged scattergun that sets models ablaze or breaks armor where it counts. The Black Thirteenth—Ryan, Watts, and Glover—bring brutal damage, Pathfinder, Reposition, and chain attack control that forces your opponent to respect every lane. We share what clicks, what needs finesse, and where lore and balance meet in a cadre that feels fast, surgical, and dangerously fun.If you love sharp lore, tighter lists, and hobby energy that spills into organized play, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with your local meta, and drop a review with your two must-pick rack spells for Caine.  What combos are you riding into your next game?Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:http://www.Torstenandharvester.comUse Code: notjusttactics10Support the showMusic made by Y.

Between turkey, paint pots, and dice, we reflect on the simple rituals that hold a hobby together: showing up, sharing wins, and welcoming people in.

Send us a textEnjoy A 20% discount on all purchase from:http://www.Torstenandharvestor.comUse Code: notjusttacticsholiday20This code applies to sales thru 11/28-12/1.A thriving miniatures community doesn’t appear out of thin air instead it’s built by people who share tools, swap armies, teach kids, and keep the table welcoming. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation, where we announce a new partnership with Torsten & Harvester, share listener discount codes, and unpack how a small Indiana group turned casual game nights into a supportive Warmachine hub. We dive into favorite factions and talk about what Kithguard’s trapdoors and ambush rules could mean for balance, counterplay, and the health of your local meta.If you love the hobby side, you’ll find plenty here: FDM and resin printers, speed paints with layered highlights, and a standout kitbash that turns a Gravedigger field gun into a mobile platform without breaking rules. We explore terrain that elevates strategy with forests and rough ground as a base, then thematic features like trenches, moving trains, and hazards that force smarter movement. We also share practical guardrails: avoid complex elevation until rules comfort is high, run Steamroller scenarios casually to learn scoring, and keep table state clear for newer players.Rules talk matters too. Removing the spell rack brings back distinctive casters and better list diversity, while January’s update might curb auto-picks and give underplayed options room to breathe. Most of all, we celebrate family-friendly play with kids leveling up from 30 to 50 points, painting their warjacks, and discovering the joy of a good plan executed well.

Send us a textA keynote that actually moves the needle deserves more than a hot take, so we sat down and unpacked every change that will shape your next army choice and your next turn. From Kithguard’s midturn ambushes and trapdoor mind games to Crucible Guard’s unshakable status pressure and doubled status damage, there’s real meta movement ahead and a big skill ceiling for players who love sequencing.We also get practical. Physical rulebooks vs app convenience isn’t a meme when you’re on the clock; clear indexing, fast links, and fewer crashes decide how smoothly games run. The plan to bring in a new app partner, split legacy and prime to reduce load, and focus on performance is exactly the kind of fix that helps every match. Forgefire cards are delayed, but the team’s message is quality over speed, which we support when physical tools need to be fast, durable, and readable.Model reveals brought equal parts nostalgia and ambition. Deathjack scales up into true menace, the Orgoth “Turkey Dragon” stomps into the spotlight, and Thunderhead crackles with drones and an energy field that demands board respect. Old Umbrey Vilkul stirs debate on aesthetics, while Kithguard lands as a mechanics-forward faction that rewards foresight. The January rules update removes the spell rack and rebalances underplayed casters, aiming to reduce pregame paralysis and center identity-driven lists. And yes, Menoth is back on the horizon, with details locked for Adepticon, plus a narrative campaign that rolls out a tank-riding general ready to be the caster of old, while we hold our breath for the results of Admiral Boomhowler.If you care about faster tools, sharper rules, and factions that make every inch matter, this conversation is for you.

Send us a textA chicken jack shouldn’t decide a heavyweight brawl—but today it did, and that surprise set the tone for a fast, funny, and insight-packed round table session. I sit down with Angus and Chris to relive a 50-point Mark IV clash, admit we forgot objectives on a four-by-six battlefield, and extract the real lessons: how the new unit movement reshapes threat ranges, why precise timing turns “safe” distances into traps, and what it takes to keep games welcoming for returning and brand-new players.We zoom out from the table to the scene. Chris walks through running Marvel Crisis Protocol events and what local stores are doing with Warmachine formats.  A listener review from someone returning after Mark II sparks a broader look at why the game’s lore and community matter: the best experiences happen when models, stories, and mechanics click. That’s where faction chatter lands—Kithguard anticipation and Cryx efficiency.Hobby time gets practical. We lay out time-saving techniques that actually work: makeup sponges for textured layers, speed paints for leather and fur, acrylic markers for rivets and edge highlights, and the case for switching from rattle cans to an airbrush to prime year-round. Transport and storage come under the microscope too—magnets over foam for dynamic sculpts, fewer broken bits, faster setup. We even trade assembly war stories and explain why better instructions and more plastic kits are a quiet revolution. Add the promise of a consolidated rulebook with maps and timelines, plus improving event streams, and the future looks bright.If you love sharp gameplay, strong hobby advice, and a community that laughs through the misplays, you’ll feel at home here.

Send us a textSouls, maps, and a 2 a.m. finals—this one has it all. We kick off with our leap into Crix for Mark IV and plans for a 2v2 that finally uses full objectives and scenario play, then rewind to a bleary-eyed but uplifting Worlds recap. England’s 5–0 run and Team USA’s podium weren’t just results; they were a reminder that the Warmachine community is buzzing with encouragement, humor, and a fresh willingness to help new players get in the game.From there we get practical. An apology for a potential misunderstanding, then we talk about a kid-friendly on-ramp: quick-start rules that actually teach, inexpensive minis (hello, 3D prints) for demos. We also cover small upgrades with big impact—why mouse pad mats beat vinyl for stability, how map themes set the mood, and where pricing makes it easier to scale a club night.Then it’s time to open the crypt. Our Graveborn deep dive tracks the Deathless from sealed tombs to uneasy alliances, with Infernal factions playing both sides for souls. Anathia, the Imperishable Desolation, rises through a blend of vanity, provocation, and promise, bringing Execrators, Barrow Ghouls, and Charnel Hounds to the field. Even at journeyman levels, the rules nod to the narrative: soul denial, control tools, and stalwart protectors that make leadership matter. We weigh aesthetic debates with a smile—oversized armor and tiny heads are practically a Warmachine rite of passage—and look ahead to how subfactions might power up on full release.All of this loops back to why we play: we want tables that welcome, teach, and challenge. Whether you’re chasing podiums or painting with your kids, there’s room here to grow.

Send us a textThe Nightmare Empire doesn’t want your land. It wants your aftermath. We take you from Toruk’s centuries-long hunt for dragon heartstones to the brutal bargain that delivered Blighterghast’s heartstone and tipped the Dragon War. Along the way, we map how Cryx weaponizes time, turns necrotite into industry, and uses espionage to bend entire campaigns toward harvest.We also get practical. With Angus from our local group, we dig into the Command Starter to show how the lore becomes pressure on the table. Wraithbinder Nekane hardens spectral lines and punishes exposed models with Hellspike’s incorporeal payoff. Hades steals the spotlight as a soul-fueled artillery platform that ignores cover, interposing models, and math you thought was safe. The Furies arrive as fading executioners, their wails eroding flesh and armor alike. If you’ve wondered what “soul economy” really means in play, this breakdown makes it click.Then we zoom in on two standout casters. Eviscerus, a six-century necrotech, plays like a scrapyard genius—repair lines, recycle engines, and steady pressure that grows as the battlefield falls apart. Mortenebra is the cold mind of the faction, a Convergence defector whose Necrogenesis blends machine logic with Cryxian deathcraft. Her rise under Deneghra’s shadow and against Dekathus’ blunt mandate shows how Cryx advances: not just with might, but with method. Finally, we share hopes for where Cryx goes next—faster thrall units, deeper spectral control, and casters who expand the faction’s identity without losing its ruthless efficiency.Whether you’re lore-hungry or list-building, this is a tour through Cryx that connects story to strategy. If you enjoyed the episode, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who’s eyeing the Nightmare Empire.

Send us a textThe wind turns cold, and that’s your only warning. We pull back the curtain on the Nyss—winter elves who traded the hunt for food into a hunt for purpose—and why their legend as “winter devils” still shakes supply lines and command tents across the Iron Kingdoms. From the Shard Spires to black ice shores, we trace the breakpoints: Everblight’s corruption, refugee years, the deal with sorrow after the lossof Nyssor, and the choice to fight with precision instead of numbers.Lanyssa anchors the story. Scarred but unbroken, she shapes grief into strategy and raises Sasha and Benkei—ferocious ice lions born of brutal cold—to strike at exactly the right second. We walk through how that lore becomes gameplay: ambush over attrition, angles over armor, timing windows over raw volume of attacks.We also spotlight the cadre around her: Aelyth's unwavering guard, and the last Ryssovass warriors whose great swords carve intent into battlefields. Their stories expand the Dusk canvas without drowning you in rules text, since journeyman profiles will evolve. If this journey through frost and resolve hits home, queue up the full episode, share it with a friend who loves sharp tactics and sharper stories, and drop a review so more players find our table.

Send us a textA meta surprise beats the hype cycle: Khymaera tops Worlds representation while Old Umbrey lands outside the podium. We dig into 160 players factions to map the Worlds landscape.  Along the way, we zoom in on Brine Bloods with an audit of caster usage, model picks, and why Madame Moriarty quickly became an auto-include that might tempt balance updates.We also share a tight 50-point report—Brine Bloods VS Orgoth—where terrain tricks, solo removal, and a clutch charge close a game that looked unwinnable on paper, proving that activation order and scenario geometry still beat raw stats.Then the human side: a new Cryx player learns more in one match than in months, thanks to a patient opponent who demystifies feat timing and threat ranges, hands over a measuring widget, and makes the table feel welcoming. That’s the throughline of our show—strong communities make better metas. If you want sharper list pairs for anti-range and decisive kill turns, cleaner activation plans, and practical insights grounded in real games, this one will earn a spot in your prep.If this breakdown sharpened your thinking, follow the show, share it with your local group, and drop a review with the faction you think is most undervalued right now.Enjoy A 10% discount on all purchases from:http://www.Torstenandharvester.comUse Code: notjusttactics10Support the showMusic made by Y.
