Warmahordes General

Couldn't even drop him to P&S 16?

He actually needed to keep P&S18 and 5 focus in an army with shitloads of access to Dark Shroud?

>>47315327
He wasn't even too strong before and they nerfed him significantly in many ways, so no more upkeep casting, his healing is significanty weaker, he can't get souls.

>>47315327
Because 23 points for P+S16 would be garbage

>>47315327
He wasn't used widely before anyway. With ps16 he will be on the shelf, collecting dust.

>>47315356
>He wasn't even too strong before
Are you fucking kidding me?

>>47315358
BUT IF YOU USE 6 FOCUS BY ALLOCATING AND USE PARASYTE HE GETS TO GIVE IT +3 IT GETS TO 19 HOW DO PEOPLE DEAL WITH THAT

>>47315378
Are you a whiny bitch who just needs to git gud?
He didn't see wide use for a reason.

>>47315402
>hurr I'm obviously wrong so I'll spout and hominem and git gud
Okay sure. Now have a look at recent Cryx pairings. He's in >>50% of them. Must be because he's total trash.

>>47315421
He's a great jack, that's for sure.
Doesn't make him broken.
PP seems to agree with the relatively small changes paired with the price going down.

>>47315443
>Doesn't make him broken.
Did I fucking say that? I said he was strong and widely used. And you're telling me - against all objective statistical evidence - that he isn't.

>>47315421
Not him, but I'll look.

Same stats, can't cast upkeeps, costs 23 points, can't get souls but has snacking.

>>47315510
Thank you kind sir

I'd realy love spoilers for 3 things in MK III
pRhyas, I hope she can actualy do some butcher stuff now.

Angelius - biggest question we all have in legion I guess aswell

Xerxis2 - Hope wheelchaired dude is still awsome.

>>47315549

what factions do you play, not just own but actually play?

http://www.strawpoll.me/10138678

any new spoilers to spoil saint anon?

>>47315549
One of the people said Rhyas is still basically the same "she's still a badass ninja chick" IIRC. I assume they'll have tweaked her a bit but it won't be anything revolutionary like making her FURY 6.

Which is a shame because shes probably my favorite caster in the game.

>>47315888

Yes, Skorne Please. Still can not understand, why they nerfed this Faction..

>>47316118
The guy posting only has Cryx.

And basically loves lording the fact that he has spoilers over everyone. Don't expect anything.

We want the Frenchman from yesterday back, if he shows.

>>47316118
Molik was too strong. So they nerfed everything except for Molik. Makes sense, right?

And yes, this guy only has Cryx. The other one probably got cold feet, not that I can blame him.

I am not a Skorne player, but if someone can actually give some love to them I would appreciate.

It seems that PP want to kill the faction.

>>47316094
Maybe I should just go kill myself and save everyone the hassle of fixing my mistakes.

>>47316150
Fun fact: Hordes was created mostly because they wanted to put Skorne into warmachine, but couldn't justify warbeasts.

They don't plan on killing Skorne. They just have no fucking idea what to do with the faction, it seems.

>>47316150
Hordes was created for Skorne.

I don't know what's going on, but it's not an intentional murder. Hopefully there's some kind of magic bigger picture that makes all these changes okay, and we're just not seeing it yet.

That said, Xekaar a shit, no matter the picture.

>>47316149
Then he should post the Coven. The guy that introduced me to Warmahordes mained them all the way through Mk2 even after the Shadowbind nerf, so it would be nice for him.

>>47316139
fuck that guy

>>47316189
I dunno man. Some of his pieces feel the most like we're missing something, because holy shit his feat is ball busting.

Dead Weight is great for Marketh to cast, and Mortality is a really solid offensive spell, especially now that it stops repair on warjacks as well.

>>47316198
Nice, thanks

>>47316198
Oh shit, you're the one with all the spoilers, aren't you?

>>47316198
Nice, thank you.

>>47316195
I want to play the Coven so bad, but I'm waiting until they get models worthy of their art. Would be super-curious to see their new rules as well.

Also, the Satyxis Raider sea witch. We know the Raiders lost Advance Deploy and CMA, which both feel totally justified, but I really hope they didn't lose Force Barrier as well.

>>47316198
....why the fuck did they nerf so much?

Couldn't really keep up with the spoilers yesterday - was there something for Ret besides the new Warcaster?

>>47316228
They nerfed the feat and what else? Future Sight is fucking amazing.

>>47316228

because other than haleys she was one of the most played tournament casters

>>47316244
I think Black Spot got better as well, or could it always trigger on melee attacks?

>>47316244
I would argue that her feat isn't much of a nerf either. The old one wasn't able to affect Colossals, the new one clearly can. And -5 to attack rolls is pretty brutal.

I'd also say that Soul Strike, while more expensive, is a better nuke than Perdition. It's a nice way to kill problem solos.

>>47316254
You're thinking of pSkarre

>>47316261
Her list is the same

Remember that eSkarre already had Future Sight for her battlegroup, so that's not a buff.

>>47316234
The whole battlebox if I'm not mistaken.

>>47316278
>the new one clearly can
Oooh. Right. I am so playing Cryx in MK3. I love their walking Jack designs. Now if only the spider ones were just as pretty.

>>47316198
So her feat is just strait up worse.
She lost one of her signature spells which made her playable basically. Assasination runs can't be done by the trick any more.
Black Spot costs 3. I guess it's better because they all have more guns now.
Overall, she went from a good to a bad caster. It would be okay if her feat didn't do dmg.

>>47316303
Her feat is not that much worse. -5 to attack rolls might as well be no attacks for a lot of models, and again, it can affect Colossals this time. And +5DEF and no charges is a pretty safe as shit mode anyways.

And Perdition was a janky spell that really only worked when your opponent didn't know what it did. Soul Strike is great solo removal for her.

>>47316334
I mean fuck, she can make a Cryx Colossal DEF15 and can't be charged. If you don't see the merit to that shit, then fuck you.

Give us Dawnguard Destors ! The worst cavalry in the game should have had some love ...

>>47316357
No! Only Cryx may have spoilers!

>>47316356
speaking of that.. does anyone have the cryx colossals to spoil?

>>47316244
Future Sight was in MK2 already.
Feat is much worse. No Perdition.

>>47315510
That's really watered down from the character it used to be.

>>47316413
It's mostly unchanged.

>>47316417
The removal of perdition kills her.

Do you guys think any colossal will actually change much? I mean, looking at shit like the Hyperion or the Victor, they are all fairly straightforward and aren't exactly in much need of an overhaul, some minor adjustments notwithstanding.

>>47316301
>The whole battlebox if I'm not mistaken.
is that somewhere in the archive or did someone save them?

>>47316443
If anything changes it'll be the core colossal rules. I doubt the second wave colossals will change but the first lot likely will.

Stormwall DEFINITELY will.

>>47316443
There was a Stormwall card posted on the 4chan. Here

>>47316422
Cryx is getting hit in every unit that was ever used, I don't see why things like mechanithralls would be nerfed and why eskarre lost perdition.

>>47316472
Look up previous threat the archive

>>47316198
>this is a bad 'caster, according to Cryx babbies

lel okay

>>47316477
Stormwall basically didn't. Biggest change was it throws down wall templates instead of aoes for the chain guns.

Junior didn't really change either, so get used to arm 22 colossals

>>47316520
I know, I look at the nerfed version of their dream team and I'm like "hey this looks like a good caster."

>>47316520
She was already not the best and got hit. She was an assasination caster, removal of perdition is unnecessary.

>>47316520
> The grass is greener on the other side
Cry me a river and water your lawn

I'd be interesting in seeing the seether chassis and Barathrum in particular

>>47316543
They removed her main tech bro, the lack of the essential spell is what hurts.

>all this Cryx crying

Your nerfed warcasters are still better than what most factions can bring.

MKIII is clearly a downshift for most factions. Everyone is being nerfed a little, except the factions that were pure shit in MKII. Your casters are still great, they're just less bullshit than they were.

Compare new Skarre or Gaspy to your average Khador or Ret caster. They're still better.

>>47316549
Nigga your worst casters, with the exception of that one guy nobody even remembers the name of, were on par with the best of most factions.

Any faction would love this new Skarre.

>>47316573
>Your nerfed warcasters are still better than what most factions can bring.
The units are the problem, like Mechanithralls. They lost power, can't revive and activate, they lost a point in def.
Bane Thralls are now complete victims, like storm units in cygnar, but they instead can't get +3 arm.
Everything is still usable, but they are nerfing stuff that already wasn't broken.

You will never make love to a beautiful Gorax and see her arms flail with pleasure as you impregnate her to celebrate her 5th warjack kill while battling for your home at the forest moon of Endor

>>47316607
Which ones exactly? Give me examples of the caster which is so bonkers and the shit everyone else has.
New Skarre is decent, but her main game, which was assasination, is impossible.

>>47316530
Stormwall only gets limited pods now, which might be a big deal.

And it lost 2 POW on the side guns, making the covering fire shit less threatening.

>>47316549
She play pretty much however she wants. Her spell list is amazing.

>>47316624
And she traded that for some pretty good fucking defensive mechanics while still keeping her general ability to gunline.

Her new feat is one of the straight up best in the game for protecting a huge base model.

>>47316642
That's a problem when you can't afford a colossal.

>>47316660
Well, the new Colossal kits are going to be cheaper, so there's that.

>>47316483
So, basically unchanged outside of general colossal special rules and the template change on the chainguns?

>>47316669
Limited number of pods, lost two POW on the chain guns.

Also costs more to put Arcande Shield into the list, since you have to bring a warjack with junior. No more 3 point junior sitting in the back doing nothing.

>>47316660
>can't save up ~$100

how poor ARE you?

>>47316706
Monetary difference + student in a country which has massice economy problems so the existance isn't secure.
I haven't bought a model in 3 years.

I'm not really seeing "Colossals have similar power levels to three jacks!!" yet. Hopefully that changes when we get to see everything.

>>47316660
If you can't afford a colossal you probably shouldn't be playing a miniatures game.

Any chance of the new Withershadow?

>>47316731
I mean, the Stormwall was already the best warjack in the game in terms of raw stats and abilities, and it went pretty much unchanged.

>>47316741
We saw spoilers in one of the other threads that they're now an attachment, I don't think we've seen anything else though.

>>47316731
Stormwall is EASILY the equivalent of three jacks, even before Mk3

>>47316749
>>47316757

Yeah, I'm really hoping that taking the same value in jacks is actually worth it now over taking a colossal.

Collosals should be a situational toy, not an always-take.

>>47316198
Could you please post the cards for the Cataphracts? I need to know how bad it is.

>>47316768
The danger there is going too far the other way like the first round of Gargantuans in MKII. "Why would I take this piece ever when 2-3 Juggernauts are so much better?"

>>47316624
1. Every Cryx caster except Sturgis is higher than average. I don't need to list them. The only reason solid casters like Venny or Goreshade 1/2 or Witch Coven saw no play was that Cryx's big names, like Gaspy and the Dennys, are so good there's almost no way to justify running anything else.

2. She's better than decent. She has an amazing spell list, great utility, and awesome tech for both offence and defence. She doesn't play quite like she did, but she's still great. The Skarres and the Witch Coven were the only casters I've ever been interested in playing for Cryx (I want a horny pirate army), and I'm still interested.

Terminus full card please.

>>47316825
He's supposed to be pretty much exactly the same.

>>47316778

Yeah. It's a balancing act.

Though I'll admit, I'd rather see that direction than just seeing collosals.

>>47316612
The thralls come at a great price point, and do better what other more expensive infantry ultimately tries to do: jam. They could do that, cheaper, had great hitting power, like pow 15 on the charge hitting power, AND the attrition game wasnt actually attrition, it was just you talking no losses.

So they can't activate any more, well neither can anyone in mk3. Shit, pMakeda still couldn't in mk2, with her fucking feat. You guys aren't getting a really bad deal here.

So their stats are bad, if only your faction had ready access to debuffs and channelers. Oh wait, that's what you're known for.

>>47316776
God, I hope they're not still ARM 15. 10/15 with 5 boxes is straight-up victim stats.

I feel like there HAS to be some kind of new utility piece we're missing to make up for the shittiness.

>>47316851
This sums it up nicely.

X is bad because it's worse than Y
But X is in a faction that has ABC abilities, which make X perform better than Y if played correctly
>People whine that X is worse than Y because now your army isn't super units steamrolling everything rather than supporting each other.

I really wish some of the unused stuff would get spoiled.

Stuff like the Coven, Bloodgorgers, ghost pirates etc. Even if its only Cryx spoilers, it would be nice.

>>47316919
BG got spoiled.

>>47316919
Bloodgorgers got spoiled already

>>47316851
>faction had ready access to debuffs and channelers
Deneghra can debuff MAT and STR. What else increase suitability of a 11/12 jam unit?

>>47316778
Imo, most gargs are going to see play by virtue of Fury management being nerfed. It's a lot easier to manage a model that can do the work of 2 beasts, but only has to deal with Fury 4/5

>>47316680
Now you get a 2 point Junior that actually does things, while upkeeping AS. Seems good to me.

>>47316965
Nothing. They are not a jamming at all. That's the satyxis.
McThralls die to EVERYTHING. And having no reach means they can't jam at all.
Even with all the possible buffs, they die in 100% of shots that aren't something like rat 3 pow 7.

>>47316969
Good point, hadn't thought of that!

>>47316198
Could you post Makeda2 please?

>>47316999
>The thralls come at a great price point, and do better what other more expensive infantry ultimately tries to do: jam
> Nothing. They are not a jamming at all.
Ok

>>47317007
Could we update the OP that we only seem to have access to Cryx spoilers at this time >.< lol

>>47316965
Do you. ..do you know what a jam unit is? Is fucking 12/13 one box better? No! 13/14? Maybe against blast damage. You're literally one point lower, and it didn't put you into or out of any hit or damage threshold. You get more disposable infantry per point.

>>47317013
I don't know how you are supposed to jam with speed 6 and no reach while having pitiful defensive stats.
They were a great unit for sure, but now they lost the abitiy to crack armour (you can expect only 3 in btb, I don't remember a situation where I had more).

Is he still around posting right now? Dude should show us the corruptor so I can know if it's worth my time to magnetize those parts

Forum spoilers say that Revs get d3 models back each maintenance phase and Rengrave has call to sacrifice[revenant] plus veteran leader doesn't require LOS anymore, but is only +1 to hits now.

So, Ive done some thinking, but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts. What is your take on the Skorne battlebox?

>>47317223
If anime tits is what he wants then I have anime tits

>>47317063
Necrojector is P+S16 and psycho venom can turn a model around.

>>47317293
Look at the archive. Thats all the alms he was begging before when posting spoilers. Now he isnt even getting those.

>>47317284
Reduced point cost on Gladiator is good, reduced point cost on the Savage prolly isn't enough to get him played, but it isn't bad.

Raider may never see play again... We don't have a caster who wants Far Strike (I think Mordikaar and Zaal are the only ones with guns, and they don't use them a whole lot), so he has to be worth the points on his own, and he doesn't seem to be.

The caster is interesting. It does more to support our Infantry with the Mat debuff, what with our Titan defense turning to poop, but the Strength debuff is nice. Mortality is sweet, I have a reason to field Marketh again.

Pow 9 Weapon masters always make me sad though.

Remember not every animus has a home at this point. Next book Skorne may get a ranged warlock who does want snipe.

When designing models you don't just design for immediately, you also leave yourself options for later. Skorne have ranged units, it's not a stretch to imagine one of those guys becomes a Warlock at some point and will want far strike.

>>47317681

Venethrax is looking really solid in mk3 considering he was only a step above Sturgis in the Cryx warcaster ranking.

Changes from mk2:
>lost Feat: Charnel Flames
It's a passive effect for his weapon now so you won't need a dozen 3" templates anymore.
>lost Caustic Presence (Corrosion)
You'll bring fewer Bile Thralls from now on.
>lost spell Dragonslayer
No more +2 STR and ARM upkeep that turns fury into focus. That blows.
>lost spell Hellfire
Are command checks a thing in mk3?
>lost spell Soul Harvester
Soul Collectors pretty much replace this.
>gained Field Marshall (Countercharge)
Passive that gives warjacks a free charge when an enemy ends its movement within 6".
>gained spell Deadweight
RNG 8, POW 12 offensive spell. When it boxes an enemy another enemy within 2" must forfeit either movement or action.
>gained spell Mortality
Target suffers -2 DEF and ARM, loses Tough, and cannot have damage removed from it.
>gained spell Terminal Velocity
Mortenebra's signature spell. Warjacks in Battlegroup beginning activation in control area can charge or make power attacks without spending focus, gain boosted melee attack rolls against living models, and gain +2" movement when targeting a living model with a charge or slam attack.
>gained Feat: Vengeance of the Dragonfather
Enemy models cannot allocate focus or leech fury from models in Venethrax's control area for one round.

Countercharge and Terminal Velocity make a case for 'jack heavy lists while Deadweight, Mortality, Lamentation, and Vengeance of the Dragonfather make for a strong denial game.

He still rolls an additional damage die when he hits a warbeast in melee and Terminal Velocity allows his 'jacks bonus movement and boosted melee attack rolls against the living so he's decent against Hordes.

>>47317695
>so my skorne get to sit on a shelf until some hypothetical models in the next expansion
I'm not too sure. I'm fairly certain that there will be 1-3 playable lists. Mordikaar took the nerf bat to the face, but should still be playable. I plan on combining him with whoever runs the Mammoth best (maybe X1?).

Shame about the internal faction balance though. It was among the better ones. Not perfect, but good.

>>47317669
>>He cant go over 5 focus now because he lost cull soul, lost healing cant cycle upkeeps and isnt much cheaper to reflect that.

well he gained rfp and healing via snacking.

>>47317721
Yes, whoever runs the newly AoE 3 mammoth best.

>>47317721
I'd argue the internal balance in Skorne was pretty bad in mk2, but mk3 seems to be making it much worse. There's goimg to be even more autoincludes and less faction diversity.

>>47317737
What other beasts do you want to play? Castrated Titans or newly nerfed Cyclops'? Or maybe the Rhinodon which lost all of its offensive capability? Or the Archidon, which might be good but can't serve as the backbone of an army? Or Aradus' that threaten a whopping 14" with their guns?

>>47315510
What does the hammer icon mean?

>>47317737
That honestly might be Xekkar. Making the Mammoth Rat5 and Pow 17 vs a target should let it mow down heavies pretty well while providing a nice spot for him to hide.

Skrone players are the biggest fucking babies

>>47317759
>I'd argue the internal balance in Skorne was pretty bad in mk2
Well if they had nerfed Molik and Fist, given everything else just a slight buff it would have been perfect. Instead they nerfed things seemingly at random.

>>47317784
Construct.

>>47317737
Yeah the mammoth picked up some boxes and it's gun became explicitly worse, confirmed no ancillary attack on any known solo or mechanic, and we don't know if eyeless sight on a stick is still a thing.

We know Skorne picked up flare, there's a vent or Dakar that buffs artillery, it may work on the mammoth.

My beef with the Skorne spoilers so far is that the models that needed appeal haven't gained much, and 2 agonizers, a krea, and min handlers is already 26 points of support bloat which our stuff is losing stats to compensate for. We still don't have the whole picture, but Skorne's game hasnt been shown to be improving yet

Any chance to see any of Skarre 1's spells? Need to know if my woman has Dark Guidance still!

>>47317808
Every single beast shown so far has in some way gotten worse except the aradus soldier. Even the fucking cyclops savage found a way to lose armor.

>>47317771
It's looking to be the year of the Titan Sentry and Aradus Soldier since the former is now Mat 6, the latter hits super hard, and both have 2" reach while neither will be trivially removed by shooting.

>>47317794
Only Sith deal in absolutes.

Personally, I like the new caster. And I'm happy with the vast majority of the changes I've seen.

Agonizers look sweet, and Slingers never saw table time... Immortals have souls, and while Marketh can't cast upkeeps anymore, it's because neither can fuckin skarlocks, and now he gets to cast spells with his own stat, rather than our shitty fury stats. This Skorne player is content.

>>47317724
Yes, I saw that after I posted.

>>47317718
The new venethrax is interesting, however I'm actually sad he lost caustic prescence. My current 'fuck it' list has him with 3 bloats and its pretty degenerate.

Countercharge is kind of dissapointing if I want to bring seethers, that already have it. Soul collectors are really hard to get utility out of, because they are so fragile. Also i wish his sword obtained the dragonslayer spell effect of eating focus instead of eruption of ash...that thing that prevents him from collecting souls from people he kills

>>47317841
>Slingers never saw table time
They were already really good for 6 points. They might become auto-include now.

>>47317798
Basically. Skorne players in mk2 needed that shit to even tread water because everything else in the faction was so bad. But PP decided to blanket nerf four heavies and three units based on "fluff reasons" and gave you guys cement shoes to compensate. Unless the rest of your caster stable has received a massive improvement, I think your faction may actively be worse in mk3 than in mk2.

>>47317872
For 6 points I always used karax.

>>47317872
I'm with >>47317884

Especially after they got set defense, and now they're going up to Speed 6.

BUT, super excited about Mk 3 Slingers.

>>47317884
>>47317898
Well Slingers were mostly a thing with the Zaals and/or against Cryx.

>>47317883
Pretty much my thoughts. I don't think Skorne will be unplayably bad, just >50% of the selections the faction offers.

>>47317841
I have issue with the Slingers. They're still rng 10, rat 5 and PP has confirmed that you still need to hit in order to trigger Flare. So against the stuff we'd actually want to debuff their defense, you're relying on one guy rolling hot, you can only remove stealth on guys within 5", and the package is still a 12/12 single wound unit. Unless they get CRA or their base stats change, I don't think they'll help much.

Isn't the Mammoths gun ROF D3+1 AoE 3 now? Why did they have to make it AoE 3?! Was it that broken before . . .

>>47317918
Zaal1 was one of my main lists and I gave him karax and swordsmem. Karax with last stand can do a big fuckoff cma and only the dude who makes the roll died. And they're pretty tough with his arm buff.

>>47317918
I never understood Slingers against Cryx.

Bane Thralls have stealth, Bane knights would vengeance and kill them, Satyxis are too high defense to hit...

I dunno. I thought I might just be bad with guns, but I moved over to Cygnar and they seemed to work just fine.

>>47317924
>PP has confirmed that you still need to hit in order to trigger Flare
That sounds hilariously bad. I retract my previous >>47317872 statement.

>>47317942
>Why did they have to make it AoE 3?
because skorne isn't allowed to have nice things

Like 50% of this thread is just Skorne people crying how everything for nerfed and is worse, while missing that they keep saying how good the Krea and agonizer is.

So which is it? Is everything worse and unplayable or did you get 2 solid units?

Looking forward to the mk3 Steamroller rules.

Have to make sure I have room in my bag for two 100 point tournament lists.

>>47317950
Well like I said, they are mostly anti-Cryx-tech and the Zaals were commonly dropped into Cryx. If Zaal is your main guy, you're less likely to field them.

>>47317962
>they keep saying how good the Krea and agonizer is
Saying it doesn't make it true.

But yeah, unless our warlocks are now mk2 cryx tier nutso skorne is actively worse than in mk2

>>47317924
Meh. I can see your point, but you have ten chances to hit whatever you're throwing at... I suppose we'll see what happens

>>47317950
This is exactly what I would do. Karax always make a block around Zaal, and they smoke shit end game.

>>47317842
I think the secret tech is Counter Charge on a bunch of cheap, hard hitting jacks to maximize your chances of taking out an important system or branch after softening the target up. Or just let Big V get Mat 8 Pow 15 4d6 (or effective Mat 10, Pow 17 4d6) charging damage vs Warbeasts, as I'm pretty sure that will cripple/kill something.

>>47317962
Sorry but thats the truth. Good one Krea, Agonizer and of course the new Caster isnt suggar compared to a lot of nerfed or useless Models. Especially a never op faction...

>>47317962
krea/agonizer nerf is bad

>>47317967
Has anything about the mk3 packet been spoiled? Because bitching about rules and shit could fly out the window depending on how scenarios and objectives are set up.

>>47317794
I guess they don't want to be considered the worst faction any more.

>>47317995
>Krea
Is just way worse now.

>>47318042
Hey, as long as I can still say "At least it's not minions" come MK3, I'll be happy.

>>47318028
Yes, like 6 months ago

>>47318088
I heard minions are getting quite a bit of love in MK3. They could be the "at least we're not Skorne" faction.

>This thread, like the last one, and the one before, going back to the first Skorne spoiler.
>7 pages of Cephalyx tears in Privateer Press Discussion

I haven't even checked the Skorne Community yet.

>>47317962
Our "solid units" are actually sidegrades of their prior incarnations. The Agonizer is now more fragile (10/13 13 boxes from 13/16 8 boxes) and has lost potency vs jacks (no longer denies focus allocation) while nearly doubling its cost from 4 (2 pts in mk2) to 7 and requiring fury management. In exchange, it now no longer requires resource investment from the caster, has a great animus (Repulse), and it's crying affects all models within a set area (but it can't cry and run anymore). The Krea's animus now affects a wider area (3" from 2"), but now only gives +2 def vs shooting and blast immunity vs +2 def and arm vs shooting and -2 to enemy def.

So in the Agonizer's case, it's become a more fragile and expensive, but more general use support model. The Krea has shifted from protecting beasts vs shooting to protecting infantry vs shooting. In either case, their basically still auto-includes, which pisses people off since support bloat has been Skorne's problem since mk1 and it doesn't appear to have been addressed.

>>47318125
The Skorne community is reacting pretty positively to xekaar for some reason. It's still 90% Erishkigal or whatever bitching

>>47318042
They were never the worst faction in mkii. They were roughly Khador tier.

The only really shit factions were Minions and Ret.

>>47318125
It's a lot of upbeat stuff mixed with sadness, but I think it's mostly denial of how fucked their faction is.

>>47318167
It can cry and run.

Is PP trying to reinforce Skornergy by making units weaker by themselves?

>>47318167
>The Krea's animus now affects a wider area (3" from 2"), but now only gives +2 def vs shooting and blast immunity vs +2 def and arm vs shooting and -2 to enemy def.
Which is just infinitely worse. It could be a sidegrade if "immunity to blasts" also meant "immunity to fire/corrosion from blasts" and all of those "definitely not blasts" effects like Mage Storm or Breath of Corruption get changed.

>>47318179
Skorne, minions, and Khador were decidedly unimpressive and had big holes in the game they could bring. Skorne's big issue was scenario game, and a lot of their stuff relying on the opponents not shutting it down, like 3makeda's feat. If something has self sacrifice or somebody passes some tough roles, it's just not gonna work.

Ret had force wall and eVyros, I'm not sure how far that got them.

>>47318191
No it can't. The rule reads at any time during the activation, as soon as the run is concluded, your activation ends immediately... There is no point at which to activate it.

>>47318179
I'd argue Ret was better since they had stronger casters and units and overall better internal balance. Skorne had to crutch hard on tier lists because most of their stuff outside of a few models/units was just mediocre at best.

>>47318219
It, in fact, can "Cry and run", it can't run and cry, no.

>>47318219
The old one read the same. You cried, ran, activation ended. It's gonna be really hard to keep it alive, and for 7 points you're going to want to. You also can only repulse after moving 5", without rush that's gonna be tricky.

I don't have much of an issue with the Krea, I used it to cover infantry and it has a wider range now. It'll depend on the points.

>>47318206
Yeah, forgot about that. Hopefully that changes in mk3 and immunity to X means that model is immune to all damage and effects of X.

>>47318233
>>47318250
I read run and cry, my bad.

>>47318218
Skorne were nowhere near as bad as Pigs. Or Ret.

Ret had two okay but not amazing theme lists. Fist of Halaak was more consistently effective than either of them. Hell, the boomerang cyclops king was more effective than either of them.

>>47318250
True that. I just hope it kept Flank. Taking down heavies and shit with the Krea/Drake combo always felt satisfying.

>>47318276
Fist of Halaak, the utterly bland armbox spam that was worse than MMM, and never took down a major tournament despite being all over the damned place? That list was so fucking predictable even a phone psychic could tell you what your opponents next activation was going to be.

>>47318276
>Ret
>Bad
What even? Vyros2 was legit one of the best anti-hordes list out there and Issyria/Rahn/Ravyn tier were all solid ass lists in MKII.

>>47318299
Same goes for Ret's big two theme lists.

If you see Force Wall or Murder of Griffins on the table, you know exactly what your opponent is doing.

>>47317100

Anyone else thinks Parlay makes casters Stupidly resistant to assassinations? Sure, blasts have been boosted in mk3, but its not something Id count on when doing a descent assassination.

>>47318341
>Force Wall or Murder of Griffins
You are forgetting Will of the 9 Autowins. Okay, only against certain factions.

>>47318276
Different Skorne anon, but I guess my view is kinda skewed since every time I played Ret it was Rahn, Vyros2 Griffin spam with Imperatus or a proxied Helios, Force Wall, or Ossyan and none of those games were easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyone has pics of the Skorne Battlebox, I heard it was all shit, but thats coming from the whiny bitches over at Skorne forums.
I was interested at getting a box on release, only to play box fights with.

>>47318357
Let's be honest. Even against Menoth, probably the best match up for it, it was only auto win if your opponent had no idea what the MHSF do.

Still, glad to see it go. That was some faction warping shit.

>>47318366
http://imgur.com/a/Xu6gD All of em. Take them with context. The battleboxes all look really well balanced.

>>47317718
Hellfire ignores tough now.

>>47318360
Rahn was probably their true best caster. He required capable hands, though.

Ret got a lot more viable once PP set out to fix them with theme lists (an approach I hated, but I guess it at least got them into tournaments). They spent a lot of time as literal garbage before that, and that just made specific lists viable.

>>47318411
Truly revolutionary

>>47318350
Just shoot Corbeau, she can't sucker forever.

>>47318378
I wanna know what the fuck witch mark is gonna do for him. Is Skorne getting a Bushwhack animus or something? Also really disappointed with a MAT 6 melee weaponmaster. Enrage is kinda nice on the battlebox caster, but he's sorta underwhelming.

I keep hoping we're just seeing parts of a whole, and together there's a lot of synergy, but I don't want to have to take two agonizers and a krea every game.

I love the look of Skorne, but a lot of the MKIII stuff falls flat. Maybe the Master Tormentor thing is now for all Paingiver models? Even then, that's MAT 8, which still isn't gonna consistently hit a lot of warnouns.

>tfw still no new CoC news

>>47318483
We've had bushwhack, no clue if it is staying.

>>47318483
Skorne already has the Bushwhack animus, along with Sprint and Fatewalker.

>>47318484
not a real faction please leave

>>47318484

>>47318499
>>47318508

>>47318483
Easy: You put Sprint on XXXekaarXXX, charge him up to his target, kill it, realise Witch Mark now no longer has a target and Sprint back with your tail between your legs.

Or: You put Sprint on Xekaar, charge him up to his target, hit it but don't kill it and cast a spell on it. Then you realise you can't sprint back and die like a bitch next turn.

>>47318366
Xekkar seems decent, but super fragile. Feat is great, spell list is good, stats are crap. 15/14 with 16 boxes on a frontline caster seems bad. Also, he's Mat 6 with 2 Pow 9 weaponmaster attacks that have 2" range; the witchmark gimmick seems like a trap.

The Savage seems eh, but it's animus seems necessary considering Xekkar is Fury 6 and wants to be throwing around Mortality. It might be okay with Xerxis2 and Makeda3, assuming they keep their mk2 spells/feats.

The Raider is just bad at 9 points for absolutely no change in rules or stats and its animus being restricted to Self only. Why am I paying 9 points for a single shot gun that ignores Stealth only while aiming and is Rng 14, Pow 12 with Burst Fire. I'll guess it will be cute in the battlebox for a Rat 7, boosted Pow 16 gun under Mortality.

Gladiator actually seems decent bordering on good. Even with the Def 10 nerf, it still has 30 boxes at Arm 19, Rush, Fury 4, and can still be Enraged for two pow 18s and a pow 17 with three bought attacks at mat 6 after charging. The price at 14 points is what makes it work.

>>47318525

AAAAAAAAHH

>>47317430
>Weeaboobs

>>47318532
My hopes are fragile

>>47318529
Everyone always ignores grand slam and followup and free slams on the gladiator...

>>47317993
That's what I'm thinking, have a core of cheap models for countercharge (slayers, maybe helldivers) to deal with melee armies, and organize your stuff so that anything big charging has to eat a lot of counter-charges, or you get to charge stuff out-of-activation to screw with the lanes of charging units.

I'm wondering, though, does Field Marshall: Countercharge imply charges could be directly towards now?

>>47315397
>BUT IF YOU USE 6 FOCUS BY ALLOCATING AND USE PARASYTE HE GETS TO GIVE IT +3 IT GETS TO 19 HOW DO PEOPLE DEAL WITH THAT
So instead, if you do the same, he gets to 21, with 5 (potential) focus. Might as well be a Warpwolf Stalker that doesn't have to frenzy.

>>47318529
I'm really curious what the Sentry's card looks like now. With pXerxis confirmed to keep Defensive Ward (after Makeda lost it), I want to run a pair of sentries with an Agonizer behind them with Def. Ward on the front one and turtle scenario.

>>47318605
The Gladiator isn't bad, it's just the def reduction included for fluff, essentially, while a lot of the other spoiled basic heavies got the same point reduction, but either no changes or buffs. It's still pretty good, just feels a little "kicked while you're down"

>>47318680
Him keeping it is not confirmed. Him losing it just hasn't been spoiled.

Has anyone seen cards for Amon yet? Really curious, looking at building a jack-heavy Protectorate list for MK3.

It makes me sad that the leak seems to have been plugged for good <=(

>>47318678
The difference being one costs more, is a character and can get only so much focus on the field in one turn.

>>47318727
Eh, it just generated lots of salt.

I thought cryx players complaining that their jack couldn't go above 5 focus was pretty hilarious though. They're like Tau players in 40k

>>47318710
Um, it got spoiled he kept DW, lost Fury and Inhospitable Ground for Rift and Tactial Supremacy (and a +2 STR on first melee attack battle plan). No word on his feat.

>>47318752
Who was complaining about that?
The answer, no one.

>>47317681

You can get Far Strike from canonneers now, they're AOE4 POW15s, lots of beast points are required, and we'll probably still have Guidance on a stick.

Raider is maybe the lowest POW of its type (medium based one-shot gunbeast with farstrike); he's pretty much just a solo killer and he's not a certain proposition at that. On the plus side he's the cheapest. But not THAT much cheaper.

Has the Necrosurgeon been spoiled yet? Does it still heal living models?

>>47318768
"Xerxis 1 went through some significant changes. He eventually lost Fury and Inhospitable Ground but picked up Rift and Tactical Supremacy. We wanted to limit the models that had Inhospitable Ground and I believe it now only exists in one place. Rift both gave him a spell with a similar feel but also one that could through out some damage. He also picked up a third battle plan, Stir the Blood which says, "RNG 5. Target friendly Faction warrior model/unit. If the model/unit is in range, each affected model gains +2 to its first melee attack damage roll this turn." That should take some of the sting out of the loss of Fury, especially since it does not cost any fury."
Yeah, that definitely means he kept DW. Right, keep on dreaming m8

>>47318276
Ret is much better than skorne.

>>47318895
Literally any faction is better than Skorne

>>47318752
Meh, salt now or salt later. Players are still going to be salty that things they liked are different now. I was just happy to see all of the new shiny.

>>47318250

A krea that used what they're doing with Deceleration would have been nice. (a version for each would be amazing). Some of our infantry has def12 and good armor, you know.

>>47318795
MEANWHILE the Argus can make anything within 2" of def 5. Seems good.

>>47318808
So you think they would specifically talk about changes to 2/3 of his spells, but leave out the last 1/3 while also changing it?

Ok, if you want to be a paranoid conspiracy theorist that's your call I guess.

>>47318949
Or the caster can do the same when he has an Argus in his list.
>Kromac steps over and slaps your girl's ass
>eyes you and says "Nice DEF5"

>>47318977

I'm going start calling that living-only Orin bubble on the Agonizer the Rape Whistle at this rate.

>>47318949
Yeah, as a Circle player after seeing the new Argus and caster I'm pretty hyped.

I know Stones, Stalkers, and eMorv are getting nerfed, but hell, with less upkeep hate pMorv may be fun.

Although, of all things, Ravagores got buffed (imo, at least -- Legion is my second army, and I like the changes; going to aoe 4 on a scather template is *huge*), so the Stalker may not get whacked too bad.

>>47316198
Kind of a tangent, but has Saeryn been spoiled yet? I'm curious if her feat has also been changed like eSkarre's.

>>47318977


Jesus that's right. That's going to be brutal on both kromacs

Madelyn gonna be in so many lists.

>>47319007
Dude circle should be hyped, Tanith looks really solid.

I kinda wish Helena was House Vyre.

I wanted the second Shyeel warcaster to be a punch wizard. Like "I'm going to cast Force Field on my fist, and then I'm going to Velocity my fist into your face" sorta deal.

Helen looks good though. Maybe eRahn will give me my punch god.

>>47319022
Until a non warrior model kills her, are she and the caster just non target able by troops? That's pretty intense

>>47318796

Ohhh good question, I want to know more about the Neurosurgeon.

>>47319008
Her feat was spoiled in the Legion Insider PP thread I believe.

>>47319007


Stones got the nerf they were going to get in Mk2.

Stalker I don't expect to get nerfed as much as I expect the feral to get buffed or at least become significantly cheaper than the stalker. Ghetorix was already spoiled and is still top dog.

EMorv is going to fucking eat it, which is good.

Circles looking pretty fuckin solid so far

>>47319072
so

solid
circle

shit tier
skorne
menoth


well anon what's your power ranking thus far?

>>47318749
>one costs more
Haven't seen the Stalker cost yet, but using the x2-1 thing all the other heavies seem to be going through, one Stalker will cost 19 points, and the Gorax that makes it P+S 20 costs 7. With one focus allocated to an intact DJ, it's got the same focus as the Stalker.

The largest difference is SPD, and movement shenanigans.

>>47319067
Just found it.
>+3 ARM and Retaliatory Strike
Ouch.
>Blight Bringer is a cost 4 nuke.
Double ouch.

>>47319045
I like where she ended up. One Punch Elf would have been neat too but Boss Arcanist is pretty neat. I really like Rythm of War and Hand of Destruction, and her gun. Feat is gonna be really nice too, lots of flexibility.

One thing of note is that Vyre funs look to be tied to the right arm now, so they do care about the "no crippled systems" part of her feat. Plus ARM 21/23. I'm hopeful that she'll be able to run a solid jack gunline.

>>47319059

And with more terrain on the table she'll have an easier time hiding from sprays.

>>47319144


Menoth is probably going to be fine

Cygnar is definitely in Solid territory, looking like Mercs are actually going to be good as well.

Cryx too but they're going to have to stop crying first.

So, what do we know so far about Menoth?

Choir lost its +2 MAT thing, Reckoners/Castigators/Sanctifiers/Guardians got +1 MAT, Knights Exemplar have 1 inch reach, Repenters/Revengers are basically unchanged, and the new caster guy makes fire VERY nasty for a turn.

Oh, and Crusaders are cheaper.

Am I missing anything?

>>47319174
Cryx has gone from top of the world to being as good if not still slightly better than everyone else. It'll take time for them to get used to it.

Trolls and Legion appear to be solid as well. Trolls are probably at the bottom though and Legion somewhere in the middle.

>>47319072
I'm expecting the stones teleport to go from "8 inches within" to "8 inches completely within", which is a pretty significant nerf. It may go to 10 inches, or be the one case where a place effect stays "within", but I'm not holding my breath.

Looking at what's happened to other top-tier casters... eMorv loses purification; she may not see too many other changes; in mk2 she doesn't have any bullshit abilities, just a huge stack of really good abilities, and knocking one of the big ones off may be enough.

>>47318977
>>Kromac steps over and slaps your girl's ass
>>eyes you and says "Nice DEF5"

I'm really thinking Tannith takes the cake here, dropping a "set DEF to 5 and drop ARM by 2" Argus on your ass.

Menoth forums have already dubbed the new caster worthless and are telling people not to buy the battleboxes.

>>47319174
>Cryx too but they're going to have to stop crying first.

I haven't seen much crying from the Cryx playerbase. Most of us knew that we were overpowered and in line for a pretty serious nerfing. What you're seeing is probably just individuals being a bit sad that their favorite unit got hit harder than they were hoping for.

>>47319208
If you go to the forums you will quickly learn that even buffs are nerfs and only by becoming mk2 cryx powerful will they ever be happy.

>>47319231


Yeah I'm expecting 10" completely within, which is fine.

EMorv will lose purification (and probably gain some sort of spell hate replacement) but it's her yoyoing that I bet will be hit harder

>>47319160
I definitely like her as a caster. I'll be running her, because robots are great, and bald women are great too.

She just dashes my hopes for I Cast Fist.

>>47319208
Reckoners, Castigators, and Sanctifiers did not gain a MAT. They were 6 in Mk2.

Only the Indictor/Guardian chassis went to 7.

>>47319267

I have been playing Menoth since Mk1 and have ignored that forum for the last 7 years. For a damned good reason.

>>47319144

I think I'd put everything except Trolls and Skorne in solid right now, and they may get up there as we see more cards.

I actively play Circle and Legion and have Skorne, Menoth, and Cryx armies.

I'm most hyped for Circle and Menoth at the moment.

I'm less salty about Skorne because I'm not as invested, but it looks to have some fun lists, just not what it used to be good at.

>>47319233
That's because it's probably true

>>47319289
Protectorate PP forums are shit. It's nonstop crying

With the arcanist buff she can definitely run a solid gunline.

The only thing that would make Ret 'jack guns better at this point is if Elara had Guided Fire.

>>47319237
Yeah, I can't play my old eSkarre any more. Sure, she's better with colossals, but I don't have one.

>>47319208
>Oh, and Crusaders are cheaper.

Yes, this. I'm looking forward to a PS 20-with-choir/ARM 19, 32 box chassis for 5 mk2 points and a free focus.

I'm hyped for power up on cheap jacks in general, but the Crusader -- so far -- seems the best value.

>>47319237


/tg/ Cryx have been pretty okay, but everyone has at least one Cryx player who only bought them to win who is now whining because his purchase is invalidated
Fuck that guy

>>47319318

He looked pretty interesting to me- that feat turn is going to allow you some interesting assassination options or, barring that, the ability to just fuckoff obliterate half the enemy force.

I don't necessarily think he's going to be some super high tier caster, but he looks perfectly usable.

>>47319326

Yeah they are. But that seems to be the case with a-lot of the forums. There is a serious tendency in this game to blame faction stats instead of a lack of gitting gud.

>>47319362


Yeah until the Highborne of Menoth run nomad spam with a choir

>>47319385
Cry some more about unconfirmed information, fag.

Haven't been here since yesterday, what happened to spoilerbro?

>>47319367
I know two or three guys like that.

I could not be happier with how my favourite Cryx 'casters turned out, and their tears over Gaspy2 only make the feeling sweeter.

>>47319405
They found him and he's in jail.

>>47319362

Yeah, I have a shits and giggles Mk2 35 point eSevvy tier list I run around with that drops 7 crusaders on the field. I wouldn't call it a competative list but its damned fun, and led to my favorite thing from any WM game I have ever played in the entire almost decade I have been playing.

Three Crusaders got up on a Centurion, and one arm locked the shield, the other arm locked the spear, and the third spent two turns beating the Centurion to death using just its fist.

Ah, when the plastic kits came out, scoured ebay and grabbed as many cheap crusaders as I could. For a total of about 110 dollars I managed to get 8 of the things.

>>47319385
>Yeah until the Highborne of Menoth run nomad spam with a choir

Uh... details?

eMagnus (Mobility + FM: Unyielding) Nomad spam has occurred to me.

>>47319405
Kayazy got to him.

>>47319423


Magnus will actually work well with a mix of Manglers and nomads (as he should) since Manglers under him are going to be absurdly focus efficient.

I'm surprised at how subdue the cryx forum has been. I'm really only butthurt over the lich2 feat changes and cloud wall change, I feel like they were a bit aggressive. Everything else is fine, I think skarre1's feat is still great, skarre2 is interesting, loss of perdition is a bit of a bummer, you know because this is the jack edition. I think that movement shenanigans might be getting a universal tone down tho.

Not sure how I feel about the flock of seagulls. I know I want to paint them. I think I want the gunslingers, hopefully they are at LnL

>>47319451
I am very curious- you put Legion pretty high up there. What is your reasoning? I feel like they will be hurting quite a bit from the nerf to shredders.

>>47319495


>nerf to shredders

End this meme

First shredder is 3D6 to hit 3D6 to damage

Second + shredders are 3D6+2 to hit 4D6 to damage

Neat.

Maybe we can spend the next thread talking about factions other than Skorne.

You Sir, are a hero!

I knew I would miss the armlocks, now I miss them even more.. I want to repeat this so badly...

>>47319618
Seems reasonable beyond the rocket spam.

I don't like how so many units are getting vengeance. We're going to end up with tar pit units making endless out of activation attacks triggering more of them.

That will definitely be Skorne at least until mk4.

>>47319576
H2 was their main tournament caster and she got hit pretty hard.

Cygnar had huge problems with armor skew and nothing so far makes it better for them.

>>47319844
Doesn't the new caster have a damage increasing feat?

So what faction is shaping up to be the most Infantrymachine? Because I want to avoid it.

arm skew are probably gone

Protectorate insider is up, skeletons

http://privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-05-18-2016

So much rage, so much joy. I am now at peace.

>>47319855
Feat is not enough it needs to be an upkeep or some buffer\debuffer solo in faction.

>>47319856
Everyone must take about 25-30% of their roster in jacks/beasts. No infantrymachine anymore.

>>47319899
of course feats are enough game is all about alpha strikes if you dont win on your alpha you lose

I think the thing I'm most pissed off about >>47319895
is the lack of changes to the Avatar. Still random focus. Still no warjack points can be spent on it (Now huge due to costs). This thing will be pure shit.

>>47319916
Alright, then I guess the question would be whose jack game is looking good so far? If it's CoC, who is looking best aside from them?

Are cinerators worth it now? Or do bastions still overtake them?

>>47319916
Where did you read that?

>>47319946
~30pt warjack points on casters
75 pts games (since that's supposed to be the 'new 50')
total of ~105 pts on the field
30/105 - >28.5% of your points are jacks/beast at min

>>47319478
> Cryx
> good
Cryx won 2 tournaments of 17 (major) in 2016. Then got nerfed hard in MK3.
I suppose, even if Cryx will drop to mk2-pigs level at some time, there will be constant whine about how powerful it is.

>>47319946
It was one of the first spoilers.
Base army size 75 points.
Warcaster gets free 25-30 points for battlegroup.

>>47319618
There are no brakes on the hype train.

Any news on Legion, guys?
My Lylith1-2, Saeryn, Vayl2 or pAbsyllonia getting a nerf?
I only know of Scythean losing its basically third attack thing so far.

You know, while the nerf to Synergy makes sense, I have likes to see one specific tweak; rather than every other model getting the bonus, it goes active as soon as the model lands a hit. I feel like if Synergy isn't going to be able to get as out of control as it once did, it should at least build faster.

Through a MKII lense Cleansers seem sweeeeeeet now! They'll probably be balls with fewer infantry models in MKIII though.

Did anyone ever post good images of the ret bbox cards? Specially the jacks

All those Protectorate shooting buffs + Awareness, ugh.

PP just told Ad-Raza fans to get fucked. he's only getting a nerf.
