Road to War (http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showforum=343)
Things have heated up and the men have been seperated from the boys -
or more
specifically, the dedicated from those of us who get a little off
track. Post wise
Chunky04's Protectorate/Trollblood/Farrow blog seems to be the most
active,
while Waarg's 'Hallf of the Butcher' and it's beautifully converted
and scratch built
orange Khador has taken the lead in hits.
Take a look at the link above, make an entry, and get involved in the
biggest thing to
hit Au/Nz Warmachine and Hordes this year on the internet - each
sponsor (including
your much beloved Antipodean Thralls) will be chosing a (seperate)
winning entry
to receive some kind of prize at the end of the road.
RankingsHQ
Rankings HQ (http://www.rankingshq.com) is very excited to have
recently launched Warmachine & Hordes on its tournament rankings and
social networking web site. Rankings HQ is an international rankings
business that tracks and publishes rankings for gamers around the
world. There are over 1,000 tournaments and 12,000 players in the
database with almost 3000 registered users maintaining their profiles,
personal blogs and networks of gaming friends from over 40
countries.
Rankings HQ publish statistics on the imported tournaments including
Faction and Warcaster/Warlock rankings. A few tournaments have
already been imported for Australia (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=1) & New Zealand (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=10). We look forward to building up the data
on the site providing a great tool for players to use to enhance their
hobby.
Defiant Gaming's MKII cards offer
There are a lot of people coming into Hordes/WM and unfortunately
sometimes old cards have been left in packs of figures. We have been
replacing cards as we go but I know for a fact we've missed a few.
There is still some stock coming from distributors with old cards in
them.
What we are proposing on doing is offering those who have
inadvertently picked up figures that have old cards in them a swap out
for new cards. There will be some rules however and limitations (like
if there are more than a handful it may be time to get a deck, and
this is not a chance for old players to replace all their cards).

for details on how to get your cards!
