Cygnar: a Year in Review

This may be a few weeks early but I am going to write this up anyways.  Also it is long and wordy.  Really more of a summary.

A Christmas present from my folks

Hobby resolutions for 2015

As cheesy as it is this time of the year is rife with reflections.  What was our favorite thing of the past year?  What were the important events in our life?  How have we made progress in the things that matter to us?  As a blogger it's pretty tempting to jump on this trope (heck, I recommended it Arch and other team members).  I even had half a draft written up about how we discovered Warmachine and advanced our hobby despite being scattered across the four corners of the midwest.  Then I realized something: If you want to know what 2014 has been like for Team Waynedale all you have to do is read the blog.  That's kinda why we're here!  Instead for today, I'm looking forward to the future of my hobby and making some resolutions.

What will the future hold for these machines?

Read on for some resolutions!

Legion Battlegroup finished!

I finally got the Legion Battlegroup done, and I'm pretty pumped about the results!  Here's some shots of the newest additions to my force:

More after the break!

Mastering Focus Induction: Moving focus through the battlegroup

In my last Convergence post, I detailed what vectors needed focus for, and which where the most focus intensive.  In today's post, I'll go over how to use focus induction to get the most out of your battlegroup.  I'll cover order of activations and how to load three focus on a vector without actually allocating them that much.

Managing all of this focus can be a daunting task!

The cool thing about Focus Induction is that one unit of focus can move throughout your battlegroup, enhancing one model after another.  This makes Convergence armies much more resource efficient than any other Warmachine faction.  However, with this trick comes a lot of risk.  Other factions simply allocate and burn off focus.  A Convergence player will have to track the movement of focus and make sure it does not enter a "dead-end," where it is spent without being inducted.  Convergence vectors rely more heavily on boosts than warjacks, so wasted focus will really hurt.  Here's how I manage focus during the game:
