Level 25 and 8 of 12
by Dakhan on Apr.29, 2011, under News
Just a few minutes ago, War Machine hit guild level 25! Congrats and well done to everyone for getting us there pretty damn quickly for a casual guild. To celebrate, I bought a mount:
Reins of the Golden King - only 1350g! 
We’re also officially 8 of 12 in raid progression as of last weekend, and we almost hit 9 of 12 tonight. Fingers crossed we’ll get there tomorrow as we go back in for some more attempts on Ascendant Council in The Bastion of Twilight.

Congrats to all involved!
Three of Twelve

War Machine have now officially downed 3 of the 12 “progression” raid bosses in Cataclysm so far (4 if you count Baradin Hold). Congrats all on getting through them – they’re a much harder breed of boss than we’re used to from Wrath of the Lich King!
War Machine vs Conclave of Wind
Magmaw falls before our awesome!
Unfortunately I don’t have a screenshot from our Halfus kills so if you do, please let me know and I’ll post it.
War Machine vs Conclave of Wind

Congratulations to all involved in the guild first kill of Conclave of Wind last night! Here’s the video of the successful kill:
This just leaves Al’akir to go in Throne of the Four Winds, and after a quick few attempts at him after the kill last night he looks to be a little easier than Conclave was.
Raid Guide: Blackwing Descent – Magmaw

A proper writeup is coming soon, but in the meantime here’s a couple of videos of the fight. The first one has strong language, so be warned.
This second video is Tankspot’s explanation, for those that prefer them:
Here’s Wowpedia’s take on Magmaw, and here’s a bit more detail from Tankspot on the fight. Good luck!
Raid Guide: Throne of the Four Winds – Conclave of Wind
by Dakhan on Jan.16, 2011, under Guides
The first official War Machine raid for Cataclysm has been scheduled, and it’s Throne of the Four Winds and will be happening on Saturday 22nd of January at 8:30pm server time. Some of us have already had a couple of attempts at the first encounter, the Conclave of Wind, but in case you haven’t or need a refresher, here’s the Tankspot guide to the encounter.
The Conclave of Wind is the first of only two encounters in Throne of the Four Winds, making the raid similar to the Obsidian and Ruby Sanctum raids of WotLK in length. The instance is made up of 5 platforms suspended in the air and connected by streams of wind – four smaller platforms positioned around a larger central platform. One platform is empty and is where the group will enter the instance. The other three outer platforms each contain one of the minibosses of the Conclave of Wind encounter, and the central platform houses the final boss of the instance, Al’Akir. Unlike the two sanctum raids however, we will be taking on the first 3 minibosses at the same time. Think of it like Four Horsemen from Naxxramas, but with one less horseman. The proximity mechanics of Four Horsemen apply to the Conclave of Wind as well (at least one person must be on each of the 3 boss platforms at all times), but the caveat here however is all 3 minibosses must die within one minute of each other.

The title says it all, really. Well done all!
Lich King to 25%
by Dakhan on Oct.12, 2010, under News
Here’s a video of our best LK attempt last night, with us getting him down to 25%. We’re so very close!
Patch 4.01 officially goes live tomorrow so now would be the time to check out what’s changing for your class as there’s a lot to be aware of. Be prepared to regem and reglyph with the new glyph system as well. Reforging also makes an appearance this patch, so read up on that too.
Sindragosa down, Lich King next!
by Dakhan on Sep.13, 2010, under News
The last boss standing in the way of 10 man Lich King is down for War Machine, making us 11/12 for ICC10. It was a close one though, with the team managing to kill her during her enrage. It was a fantastic job from everyone involved. Unfortunately we weren’t able to catch the kill on video, but I did manage to record what happened next:
Tonight we’re trying our luck properly on Arthas. Fingers crossed.
