Thinking Cap: The Minutemen

I recently ordered some stuff on eBay and the store I ordered from accidentally sent me duplicates of the same order.  So instead of only having 2 Minutman light warjacks, I now have four.  While I certainly got my money's worth out of the deal, it has left me scratching my head.  When would I ever need to use 4 of these guys?!  Today I want to look at the implications of spamming these warjacks in order to make them more viable and the considerations that need to be made it taking them.  Like anything else in the game, spamming is not really as great as it might seem, so I face a unique challenge in getting these guys to work.

Stolen Circle Army

Today I have some sad news.  While I might not know this wargamer personally, having an army stolen is such a terribly sad thing that it's like having a loved-one taken away from you.  We all invest a lot of time, energy, and love into our armies and it's despicable to think that anyone would take that away from us.  Please head over to blog of glamage to see pictures of his army.  While I'm in the United States and this happened over in the UK, I know that there are some UK visitors that come here and hopefully you guys can keep an eye out for this army or at least spread the word on other blogs so that we can find this army.  The fact that his army is a Circle army and that it's so beautifully painted makes me empathize with him even more.  Please check it out and whatever you can do will be appreciated, I'm sure.

Thinking Cap: the Scarsfell Griffon

With yesterday's reveal of the Scarsfell Griffon by Privateer Press, I figured that today would be the perfect day to discuss this model in more depth.  The model looks great (a near perfect match for the concept art) and is definitely a unique take on the typical griffon trope seen in various fantasy settings.  I'm pleased that he looks far more humanoid (like the warpwolves) than animal, as it really fits Circle in both aesthetic and playstyle.  The Griffon will certainly be a welcome tool for particular warlocks and today I want to discuss both what he offers to Circle's warlocks and what you should be thinking when using him or thinking about using him in a list.
