This weekend is the prerelease event for Magic The Gathering 'Avacyn Restored'. My son and I just re-picked up MTG after about 3 years removed from the game and we are planning on attending this event at our local game store, Empire Games. We are really looking forward to a fun day in a relaxed environment.

'Avacyn Restored' will officially be released on May 4th, 2012.
Privateer Press recently announced a new app for iPhone/Android called 'War Room'. This new app should be available sometime this March.
War Room, which will be available on tablets and handhelds for both the iOS and Android platforms from Privateer Press this March, gives players access to a wealth of features intended to expedite the army creation process and facilitate faster in-game rulings. In addition, users will receive regular news and rules updates from Privateer Press straight to their mobile devices.
Great timing for getting back into WM/H. First the announcement of Colossals, and now the War Room app.
BELLEVUE, WA, February 3, 2012 – Privateer Press is pleased to announce the next expansion book for its award-winning WARMACHINE tabletop miniatures game, WARMACHINE: Colossals, which will release worldwide July 2012.
The new book introduces colossals to the tabletop—finely detailed super-heavy warjacks on 120 mm bases. When asked about these unprecedented new models, Privateer Press Director of Business Development William Shick said,WARMACHINE: Colossalsembody the next big step for WARMACHINE and Privateer Press. Colossals are the culmination of everything we’ve learned over the last ten years of making miniatures and represent a new pinnacle of WARMACHINE models. Not only are these models loaded with stunning detail, they tower over other models on the tabletop. What’s more, they open up a whole new range of tactics and strategies for WARMACHINE players, making for an even more exciting tabletop experience.”
In addition to one of these all-new colossals for every faction, WARMACHINE: Colossals features new warcasters representing the third incarnations of some of the Iron Kingdoms’ most iconic characters, plus fully compiled and updated Unbound rules, providing enhanced gameplay opportunities for large-scale games of 150 points or more.
The Khador Colossal is really looking like a fun model to play with, the itch once again to play is coming back. This summer it will be fun to use these in friendly games.
Not too shabby, two models done within a week. That is a first in a very long time. Just like "Blaize", "Kommander Sorscha" was sitting in a primed state on my painting table for the past few months, so it was time for the paint to come on and add another completed model to my 'Khador' army.
Once again it has been a few months since I lasted painted anything for Warmachine. The last model I painted was my "Kommander Harkevich" for my 'Khador' army.
Yesterday I had a little downtime so I decided to paint up "Constance Blaize" for my son's 'Cygnar' army. Constance has been sitting primed on my painting table for a few months so it was finally time to get her done. Plus for my son's 16th birthday earlier this month, he received the new 'Cygnar' Warjack "Gallant", so I had to finish up "Constance Blaize" so he will be able to play the two together.
I really really really dread painting white, and the detail Privateer Press had on this model was incredible. It was a little intimidating and I thought I was not going to do the model justice, but I feel she came out alright, at least tabletop quality.
It has been nearly 5 months since I last painted a miniature (WM: Mercenaries Phinneus Shae) but yesterday I finally sat down at the painting table and worked on my new "Kommander Harkevich" model that I picked up a few weeks ago.
"Kommander Harkevich" was a bit intimidating when I first looked at him, the detail Privateer Press is adding to their models in just amazing, and since it has been awhile since I last painted, I was a little scared. Once I actually sat down and started applying the paint to the model, the flow was with me. He was not actually that bad to paint.
