Gimbal & 4K Test

Been working on the September batrep video for the past 2 weeks off & on as family time / work allowed. Decided to take a short break this afternoon to test out a few things that I'm hoping to incorporate into the October batrep: a 3-axis motorized gimbal & filming in 4K.

This is just a rough test of both since I didn't want to take too much time away form recording audio narration today. I still need a lot more practice with the gimbal to get a better understanding of how to control it & I need to spend some more time calibrating it to adjust more smoothly to the speed of my movements.

Negativity In The WMH Community

Image
I write this fully acknowledging that Donna & I are total newbs to the world of Warmachine / Hordes / Privateer Press. We only started playing last July. With less than a year under our belts with the game & a lot of that time dealing with the tail end of covid restrictions, I recognize that our experience is super limited compared to the majority of WMH players. That said, this is a subject that's been on my mind almost from the beginning. It's also a lot deeper of a subject than I'd do justice in just one blog post. There are too many aspects / avenues to address. So, I'll just dive into the first few that stand out to me here & maybe get into others in future blogs.  Overall, our experience has been that most of the WMH community is a really supportive, positive group. I have no doubt that the amount of excited posting I do, especially early on, could turn people off. I get that.  Even still, I got very little as far as negativity directed at me. I can

A Newfound Appreciation For The Depth Of Warmachine / Hordes

Image
Last night, I gained a much greater appreciation for the depth of the game play in Warmachine / Hordes. The thing is I thought I knew how to play Cryx. Certainly not on a serious competitive level, but even with mixing my list up a bit, I had certain strategies & combos worked out that gave me at least a 50-50 chance of winning against Donna's Protectorate. Even when she brought in Feora in to replace Severius, the adjustments I had to make didn't feel so big. By contrast, now that she's playing Circle Orboros, I feel so out of place with Cryx. She adjusted so quickly to the difference in play style from her slow, buffed-up Protectorate to her ultra-fast, auto-healing Circle. I am not a fan of Warpborn Skinwalkers, especially with the Alpha giving them Gang. Just brutal. It's her first time playing with any type of unit attachment. I'm realizing now that I need to swarm the Alpha & get him off the table as quickly as possible. I took great pleasure in us

Turning My Narrative Batrep Vision Into A Video Reality...

Image
The Story Of How I Got Here For about 8 months, I've been interested in learning how to make video battle reports. I wanted to take my written narrative batreps & push them to the next level. I was inspired by old batrep videos I'd seen from the likes of House of Dice & Wargamer Girl, as well as taking inspiration from others like Warjax, War Budgies, & Tangible Day. Each one inspired a different aspect of my overall vision, m y batreps aren't going to be like any of those above.  For one thing, my batreps have always been more about the story than the "numbers". In my written batreps, I include *most* damage roll info because I don't want to lose sight of the fact that I'm still narrating a game . However, I pretty much never include attack roll info. Attacks are covered by the story. An attack is described to have missed or hit with some appropriate flavor text. I don't care to bog down my batreps with every stat or dice roll. Some people
