The vast majority of these marked models come from only 4 lists that use this theme force. Take that into account when looking at the high numbers here.

WTC Lists

Are up on end game gaming. http://endgamegaming.net I would suggest having a look at the German team in particulat, Germany has a very strong meta but also one a bit isolated from the US and Australia. http://endgamegaming.net/2013/09/07/wtc-2013-germany/ Still paying for yesterday so that's all for now.

City of Origin

Great day, top day. Though now the cold and flu tablets are catching up with me and I'm starting to regret the decision a bit. We'll see what I feel like tomorrow. I'll try to update this a bit with thoughts.

Circle Tokens

I hate in tournaments having to remark tokens every round because they rub off so for a while now I have been preferring to print out tokens (about 19mm square) and blutack them to my old GW bases (just to make them easier to move around the table, sometimes I don't bother). I still keep the dry erase tokens around in case there is something else that needs to be marked but in general I much prefer having something that doesn't rub off and that I don't need to be concerned about marking up before the start of a game/tournament. Anyway I thought I'd share the circle ones I just made in case anyone else out there has similar issues.

I've also included something that is kind of a pet peeve of mine which is crippled aspects and crippled systems. I find that is where most of the mistakes happen in the game. I know I've done it before and I've had an opponent do it to me but it's really easy to forget that a system/aspect is out. Then there are opponents who won't even tell you when that happens which I think is very close to cheating. It's an open information game, you should be making it as clear as possible to your opponent (and to yourself as well) what is going on.

High Command Wishlist

You can have a wishlist of one thing.

What I want is a program or app deckbuilder for high command. One that lets you look at the cards like warroom and will have the capability to change the detachments when the new releases come out and allows you to build a deck and see not only what cards you will have in that deck but also allows you to perform a search on your deck so you can see how many resource cards you have and what those are, how many warrior and warjack cards, how many with combo strike, how many with incorporeal etc. Having caught the high command bug I'm already mucking around with the very basic customisation that you can do with the base set and it's difficult doing that. The kingmaker pdf has been a great help and since nothing is on today at work (waiting on a client to send in some drawings) I might try and go through and do a run down on the detachments with some basic information. Once expansions start coming out though I'm really going to want this. Just if anyone at PP happens to read this don't use tinkerhouse games.
