Last weekend saw a delegation of my WTC team going to a relatively small (new) convention in Germany. The War Room update dropped on Friday, so all the events on Saturday and Sunday were going to be with the new rules and themes; excellent WTC practice.

Cryx Theme Apocapalooza! (updated)
We finally got some juicy spoilers for the post-Oblivion Cryx themes, so I thought now might be a good time to write a post about it. For those that don't know, basically Privateer Press is revamping the way themes work. Instead of gaining 1 free of slot for taking X points of Y, you will get 1 Requisition point per 25 points of game size, which can then be spent on taking free options. This means that, when playing a 75-point game, you will get 3 of these Requisition points, which would be like most people are building lists now. The difference is that we're no longer limited to taking X of Y, but can freely mix and match whatever we feel works best in any given list and still get some free stuff out of it.
Games!
Last weekend, we had a Warmachine get-together with a bunch of people and I managed to grind out 3 games, so I figured I might as well log my performance.
4-round Steamroller
Had another tournament last weekend. Honestly, I went in with low expectations, partly because Skarre 3 has been taking some punches lately and also because some pretty great players would be there, but in the end I can say I'm very happy with how I did.
