These clockwork wonders can pull so much multiple duty

The new faction for Warmachine, the Convergence of Cyriss, has stolen my heart (as have most of the factions for the game, in one way or another.) I explain why I'm now a devotee of the Maiden of Gears. Warning: Long on fluff-love, low on crunch. Like none.

That was a well written piece of prose. We have some of the same blogger buddies-Kris, Sean and Clint. Small world out here in a way

Thank you. I try my best to bring my love of language to bear in every post.

You write well.  

Unfortunately/fortunately none of the miniatures in the game struck an aesthetic convergence for me.  See (Usual Wikipedia warning and cautions here) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics for an interesting start on why we, in part, instantly like or don't like some miniatures.    

I blame my History based background (one of my degrees) for wanting things to not be "beyond the third sigma" if they are reflecting human/humanoid structure. Or maybe it's because I am an American (insert adjective of choice) with the traits there of...  

I suppose it's my limitation - maybe that is why I like JRRT style (just not the slavish imitations) or Poul Anderson or Ursula le Guin styles rather than Terry Pratchett or L K Rowling or GW style Fantasy, so called "realistic" Science Fiction than Science Fantasy , and VSF more than Steampunk.  
 
You present a very good case for why you like what you like.  Well done.  

Gracias,

Glenn
