Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 11 – Ze brick woz ‘is shtick

Hello baseball fans, after some time I am returning to the old article formula and I want to talk today about someone who needs no introduction, yet I’ll give him one, after all, there is a word limit to fill. He has the highest batting average of the entire Hordes and Warmachine league with a recordsetting RBI score often bringing his entire team in. His success is tied to having not one, but TWO big bad baseball bats and ofc a ballbusting tier list! So then, refill your cheek with tobaccy, set your cap straight and scratch your pair, we’re talking Xerxis!

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 9 The WTC – Na zdravie, Sláinte, Skål, Prost, Cheers!!

Hello again everybody, I hope you all had a great weekend as well, coz I sure did! 🙂 As I am sure you already read everywhere, or even experienced for yourself, the WTC was awesome. Since there was so much more to it than just the games, I’ll try to keep my batreps really short this time so I can cover the entire event. Continue reading

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 8 – WTC aka Worst Tits Competition

Howdy dudes and dudettes! I am coming to you with a slight delay due to the untimely demise of my beloved laptop last week. As promised, I wanna talk about the WTC lists and “meta”. There will be no list mocking and mispronounciation of surnames though, so if you fancy that kind of entertainment, there are plenty Irish podcasts to suit your needs. Instead, I would like to take a look at some of the list choices people made and what their impact on Skorne might be. Finally, I’ll do a quick recap on the recent Czech Masters I mentioned in my last article. To make up for the delay and piss off my Overload Overlord this article is a bit longer than usual, so let’s dive straigt in.

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 7 The ETC – Grand Finale

Top of the monring to y’alls. You didn’t really believe I’d write an article sooner than on thursday evening now, did you? Anyways, let’s wrap things up.

After loosing in the third round but to a very strong team our chances for decent placement were still good, so we were determined to play to the best of our abilities. We faced one of the teams from Leicester and I got to play their best player again, who happened to be running Cygnar. Our Legion and Circle both faced Cryx, with Circle playing on the hot table. Jaromir played against Protectorate.

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 5 The ETC – Eternal Testicular Conundrum

There is hearsay some people prefer to call it the European Team Challengepionship but that is laughable in my eyes. This year was the start of a new era, since the former organizer went bankrupt with most of the participants’ ticket fees in his pocket allready. A noble team of guys, namely Rich, Tony, Darran and Jamie took it upon themselves to save the event and even offer it free of cost this time. They deserve huge thanks from the community for this.

Due to some scheduling collisions and vacations I ended up hiring Polish mercenaries for my team, so Team HukuLu consisted of another Martin from Slovakia with Legion, Jaromir and Adam from Poland with Retribution and Circle respectively and me with Skorne. I went with Rasheth and Mordikaar in an attempt to cover as many matchups as best as I could, while we also had eVayl, pLylyth, Ravyn, eVyros and eMorv with eBaldur on the team.

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 3 – The Skorne Pope, a Ghost, and a Titan walk into a bar…

Welcome back everyone, I hope your flesh hooks are hanging well today and everything else is dangling just fine too! As you can see I was forced by life-changing events (mainly overwhelming lazyness) to move to a bi-weekly schedule. Since I’ll take part in the upcoming ETC next week, this schedule will last at least for one more week.

This week my second favourite caster gets the spotlight together with his trusty sidekick as well as some statues and my favourite beast of them all. I will follow the structure laid down in last week’s article so take a comfortable seat and focus your eye lazorzz on the article.

Martin’s Martial Martyrdom: Part 2 – The Dominar’s Diet

Welcome back dear sadomasochistic samurai ninja vampire lovers!

As promised last week, in my introductory article, I will present my lists over the coming weeks and their favourite matchups.

Let’s start big and I mean notoriously BIG! I’ll try to not succumb to the temptation to think up a new obesity-related name for everyone’s favourite famine resistant Dominar each time I am going to mention him. Actually, I like him so much that I will dignify him with his own name! So, let’s take a look under the folds of flesh and see if we can find gems of wisdom instead of rotting bits of food.
