I plan on playing a bit more Warmachine in 2020. So we decided to kick 2020 off with a 3-man team tournament down south, in Karlsruhe – the Baden Team Cup. Its a 2-day, 5-round event with 18 teams. Pa
Caine 3… with a Vengeance!
Last sunday, our local shop, the Drachental, held another 16 man steamroller event. We tested the SR 2017 again, with the latest update provided by the PP Insider a couple of weeks ago. Which meant th
Der Eisenhammer!
And we have another tournament report. Der Eisenhammer! Its also organised by the Headblast club in Oberhausen, and its called that because the location is literally “Am Eisenhammer”. You can’t make t
Challenge Accepted!
So MK 3 has been out for 2 months now. Every thing is new. Everything is different. Some casters have been nerfed into the ground – or so the internet has us believe. Some factions fell from th

Bonehammer’s Brewery: A Swan Song!

“Is it a bird? Is it a … plane?”
