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.
