I think many (if not just me) are working on Saturday as I know right now. I maybe in but most likely the crew will be in later when I can round them up.

I've almost finished the Sword Knights unit which is 4 pts so maybe 15 points, I'll try to bang out the Jr. and Defender today and tomorrow night, which should give me 20-25 points.

That's the exact thing I'm trying to avoid with Warmachine. The units and game size is so small I'm determined not to play with unpainted models.

The battle against Tim was interesting. 1850 for his GKs and me with Dusk Blades. Started off looking like he could out last me hard. The pyscannos pack some punch! The lack of bodies started showing around 4th turn in the end, but a close game.
All in all the GK codex plays as I thought it would, and is not as OP as many people thought it to be. There are some sweet abilities, but IMHO I think that they still have the same flaw that they have had and should have, a lack of bodies on the field. The GK have to play refused flank because they don't have people to spread. Anti-MEQ can really pain the army as well, being that each guy is more expensive and dies just as well... just like the old codex. They do have a good hold on local superiority though. Strong on the spot force!
Anyone complaining about GK should probably look inward and examine your tactics more than outward for the loss first, just saying.
That being said, every GK has a power weapon and a storm bolter that can be S5 for a small points upgrade, as well as rending heavy weapons, so watch out!
Thanks for the great game Tim! Close match till the end.

I had 4 great games, 1 of Malifaux and 3 of Warmachine.
Game 1 against Micah, Ortegas vs. Mcmourning crew went well for me, Ortegas excel at shooting and the lack of playing lately really showed on both parts. It was fun to drag these models out of the dust and get a card flipping game in!
Game 2 against Andrew, Cygnar vs. Menoth. Harbringer is a great spell caster with 10 focus she has a myriad of possibilities and can pretty much do anything she wants. 20 in control range allows her to sit back and cast magic spells all game long. Her feat is pretty cool too. Definitely not something I want to take pStryker against again.
Game 3 against Micah. This was a demo game Cygnar vs. Menoth Battlebox. Micah caught on to the basics of the game quickly and we went for about 5 rounds before the legendary Caster Assassin (my Charger) took out Kreos with his Dual Cannon. Micah, lesson learned protect your caster.
Game 4 against Andrew. Cygnar vs. Khador. I only have one thing to say about the Butcher. Brutal. He easily cleaved his way through 3 Jacks, my caster and 4 Storm Knights. I tried my best but without support from shooting he was just too much to handle. With and 8 inch charge and reach, plus weapon master, if he hoardes his Focus there is nothing that can withstand a charge from him.
