The Stormwall Gathers

So recently I have been working on a very special project...... I broke down and purchased a Stormwall.  For those of you who may not be in the know Stormwall is the most expensive model both point wise and money wise in the Cygnar Faction.  This model is also HUGE it is about 6 inches tall. These monstrous machines are classified as a Colossal and they are that; expensive tough killing machines that raise the game to a whole new level.  Why did I break down buy such a beast? There are a few reasons,  1.  I really wanted one. 2. Clint started the trend by purchasing one of the two mercenary faction colossals the Earth Breaker (this thing is a monster flat out).  3.  It is one of the best units for Cygnar in the game. 4. I have been playing around with the idea of getting into competitive warmahordes and this is the last piece I needed to really be able to do that. And 5.  This thing is awesome, it was a blast putting it together and painting it.

Watch_Dogs: A Post Mortem

Hello again readers, if you do exist.  After a whirlwind few weeks I am back and actually writing a blog post.  I will spare the details of my personal life and get to the article.

So, this week I finished Watch_Dogs on PS4.  By finished I don't mean I 100%ed the game.  I finished the main story and the majority of the side quests.  I currently sit at over 75% completion and I don't feel particularly compelled to try to eek out the mythical platinum trophy.  Why?  Well, come along and let me tell you about a game that I felt like I played before which has no soul.

Saturday school: Diffuser light vector tactics

In an earlier post I discussed tactics with Forgemaster Syntherion, a warcaster in the Convergence of Cyriss .  Today, I'll look at the Diffuser light vector and what it brings to each warcaster in the Convergence.

In general, the three lights all share a similar three-legged chassis as well as goofy names (Diffuser, Galvanizer, Mitigator).  They also have all-around vision, which is really useful for positioning and drawing LoS.  They also share average defensive stats and 20 damage grids.  Light vectors aren't the most durable warjacks in their class, but with the abundance of repair that the Convergence has access to they can stick around for awhile.

So, what makes the Diffuser worthwhile?  Alone, it is pretty underwhelming.  However, when used in the clockwork fashion that defines the Convergence, wonderful things can happen.

The Claw's Intro

Woo! Look at me! I’m blogging! How 2009 of me.

Can I do it with Kale?....Will my Labradoodle fit in it?

Welcome to my chunk of the internet.  I call myself The Claw, an old nickname my high school Latin teacher bestowed on me.  Here I promise to deliver thoughtful posts about gaming and life, minimal spelling and grammar errors, and a sanctuary from cat memes.

Odd Job: Storm Warrior

Hopefully you've been enjoying the posts from the other members of TW as much as I have.  There's a lot of personalities and interests in the group, which means there's something for everyone!  Today I have an update with a small project I've done on the side while my hand-me-down Tau lot sits in Super Clean.

I received about 1250 points of Tau from TW member Tom Hoger, who is shifting his focus to Warhammer Fantasy.  He was working on the classic Tau Sept color scheme (above), but soon they'll join the ranks of Kai'oran!

Sometimes when you grind out model after model for an army (especially larger ones found in 40k), it can wear on you.  This is our hobby, and the last thing we want is for it to feel like a job!  Whenever I find myself in a rut like this I take a break by going to a Reaper model.
