Insider 6-18-2014
Hello, everyone!
Lock & Load GameFest2014 has come and gone. It seems like only yesterday I was playing as many games as I could with everyone in the massive Iron Arena hall, having Goreshade, Lord of Ruin charge in an attempt to take down Vyros, the Dawnlord, doing my best with my troll deck to lock opponents out of locations in many games of High Command, or being shown how deadly Sorscha’s feat can be in WARMACHINE: Tactics.
Lock & Load 2014 was definitely a convention for the record books. With more space, more events, more classes, and the crowning of WARMACHINE and HORDES’s first-ever World Champion, I’m not sure how it might get much better. Oh wait—with WARMACHINE High Command: Invasion of Sul, of course!
On Saturday, there were 26 players in the Invasion of Sul prerelease event, and every faction in both WARMACHINE and HORDES showed up to throw down. Ultimately, one player was able to rise above the rest. Here is a breakdown of the top two decks from Saturday’s Invasion of Sul event.

The Invasion of Sul prerelease was a real blast. I really want to take a moment to say a special thank you to everyone who attended this year and made this the best convention I have ever attended! To everyone who found time to sneak away for lunch, dinner, a game, or to simply introduce yourself and say how much fun you were having, thanks for coming! Lock & Load sets the bar for all other WARMACHINE and HORDES events, and this year we set the bar higher than we have ever done before.
I can hardly wait for the next convention. See you all in 2015!
