Thoughts?

Any word on new theme lists? I'm looking to start a new army, think I'll go with Convergence. Gonna order a bunch of stuff in a couple weeks here and would like to have some corresponding units.

And this.

>>47749246
Only one that's known so far is the Cephalyx contract. But if that one is anything to go off of, they'll be strong.

Reposting this.

(Mortenebra 1) Master Necrotech Mortenebra [+24]
- Deryliss
- Leviathan [16]
- Nightwretch [7]
- Nightwretch [7]
- Harrower [16]
- Malice [15]
Warwitch Siren [4]
Warwitch Siren [4]
Bane Knights (max) [17]
Bane Lord Tartarus [8]
Scrap Thrall [2]
Scrap Thrall [2]
Soul Trapper [1]


What I wanna do is get the 5 souls plus Spectral Steel on Malice so it goes up to 24 ARM, then use Overrun to deliver it into the opponent's caster with 8 focus.

Why didn't they just remove theme forces?

>>47749281
Why would you ever take a leviathan ever again?

>>47749361
Because now it doesn't need Mertenebra to forcefeed it to work?

>>47749361
Because Mortenebra is a ranged jack caster now.

>>47749177
The Attendant Priest doesn't do much for the Gun Mages, since they're already magic damage on their guns, and Malekus's feat works with them already (since it works on enemy models taking damage rolls as opposed to friendly faction models making damage rolls).

With those points (plus possibly a wrack) I'd replace the Castigator or the Guardian with a Reckoner so:

a) You can drop Open Fire on three different ranged jacks each turn
b) You can open with a boosted Reckoner shot to land Flare on whatever you focus the (unboostable) Open Fire shots on.

The Castigator seems mildly redundant with the Vanquisher and Cleansers, and I'm not sure you'll get enough mileage out of the Guardian's arc node to make it worthwhile, so I'd think both are replaceable with a Reckoner. I'm looking (I'm working on a similar list) to stock three heavies and but a second unit on the table to hold Ignite. Or just take two Sunbursts.

But in any case, I don't think Malekus wants less than three ranged heavies.

>>47749359
Because it allows them to sell you books to un-nerf the models they changed.

>>47749422

Fair points. Guardian's largely for the fringe Scourge opportunities.

>>47749276
Also another one hidden amounts the threads. It was a menoth one with like"

Gain a Free Small Sized Solo or the cleanser UA.

Warjacks gain Girded

1 Unit of Daughters of flame get ambush.

Considering we already know about that other things grant CRA, and out of faction units its pretty crazy.

A theme force is not just some environment manipulation. Its boosts to units/ Warjacks that change how they operate completely.

And like, some free points as well.

Thoughts on Cyclone marshalled to Gun Mages with new JM rules?

>>47749588
Eh. Its functional but feels kinda gimmicky.

>>47749492
Yeah, I just think it's kinda wasted without a Redeemer in tow, and I don't really see the points for that and everything else Malekus wants to do.

But I really see Malekus as a gunline caster throwing a lot of fire downfield with Cleansers to minifeat early against infantry and then jam until the feat turn kills a couple of heavies.

I am *really* looking forward to running Malekus with the Revelator. Pic related is what I plan to eventually do with him.

Does anyone feel like uploading the thorn gun mages stats for a poorfag?

>>47749680

Pretty interesting build, though depending on enemy list I'm not sure how well it can jam. Little infantry and a handful of heavies, and I'm not sure you can outlast them.

>>47749727
Remains to be seen, of course, but before all of the sprays from the cleansers, it puts out 7 4" AoEs per turn, and then under feat can melt a gargossal at range. It's going to feat on turn 2 most of the time and have to do some serious work on feat turn, but I like the odds. Now to just get an actual release date on the Revelator.

Do we have official (not from spoiler) cards
already?

>>47749837
Yes, War Room 2 is out and cards are available. The spoilers were right.

>>47749837
War Room 2 went live with the new cards last night

>>47749727
>>47749796

I should also mention explicitly that if you're staring across the table at a lot of fire immunity, you drop your other list, and that's my only plan for such a situation.

>>47749924

Haha, naturally. Idly, any Durst or Sevy plans?

Anyone got the pic of kallus2? I know I saw it here, forgot to save it.

I haven't really looked at Durst in Mk3 (and never found him that interesting in Mk2 -- with the caveat that "interesting" and "good" are different ideas), but have been toying with running pSevvy kinda Crusader-spammy with the idea that he can run infantry pretty well, and give the Crusaders time to get up the board to do work.

I'm really attracted to running multiple Crusaders with casters that like infantry to do their normal infantry stuff and have a battlegroup that hits hard and still has enough boxes to be non-trivial to remove.

>>47750101
Have you never gone to a tournament? Half the people who play this game are fucking autistic, a third of them are just mentally retarded, and a small handful aren't human filth.

>>47750126
How the fuck does traditional gaming have the community that it does? Half the people are retarded, half are non-functional geniuses and then there's some blue haired cunt painting Space marines in the corner with her beta orbiters. The demographics are nuts.

I recently got the new War Room app- any other Cephalyx players having a hard time making army lists? The loss of any models below 3 points is rather frustrating.

I've played in metas full of software engineers and lawyers, metas full of manslug autists, and metas where I was afraid to drink the water because so many people were missing teeth.

I just re-read the cephalyx rules in the core book. The selective rule means that the Operating Theatre theme list is obligatory. Somewhat disappointing, but free overlords and hyper aggressive monstrosities don't come without a price.

into the trash it goes

>>47750606
>I'll shuffle my Sentry around your model so he has LOS of your caster and get some attacks in

>>47750574
That's why it was included in the core rules, its the only way to take Cephalyx.

Monstrocities look fun to play. Just a few acupuncture strikes and your at 3 focus.

With Hyper aggressive ranged shooting then just makes them stronger and faster.

Hey guys i heard you were worried about Kara Sloan, so i errata'd her to have an even better feat!

at least she can't use that trash 9 hunter list now am i right?

>>47750889
Get a fucking haircut Soles, you look like a troll doll fucking a blender.

>>47750889
I honestly have no clue who play-tests Cygnar at PP, but they very obviously have the same caliber of players for MKIII that Cryx did for MKII.

The nerf bat swings wildly and MISSED SO MUCH.

>>47750889
Whats the new feat?

>>47750931
How do I deal with Centurions in Mk3? PP nerfed all my armor cracking and I can't charge them. Guns don't do enough damage and they still have arcane shield they can just hand out

>>47750966
Free guided fire, battlegroup gets 1 free ranged attack during activation. So second attack is boostable now since its during activation, and sloan now has more focus to hand out, since guided fire is free cast during feat.

Yep, say goodbye to Mk 1 eLylyth shooting into your deployment, and hello to Mk 2 eLylyth erasing all your stuff turn 2/3.

What Minion solos are worth a damn now? I'm looking at Croc doc and just not seeing anything of value. Everything has tough so why do I want a tough giver?

>>47751069
And yet they couldn't make gaspy2 playable. I almost prefer GW's blatant lack of caring

>>47751236
Would Gaspy2 be good enough to be played if his clouds weren't an upkeep anymore? Or would that and Hellbound have to swap upkeep status?

I think that was a twitter joke.

>>47750982

unless its nemo3, you can always tk it to face the other direction if you're a faction with access to TK.

if its nemo3, god help you, you have bigger problems

so i'm in a bind, i'm sick of being shit on as skorne, but i can't decide which other faction to play as i don't even know what they do for the most part (i played in a really small meta and only saw a handful of legion and khador with the very rare ret player)

How do i trial new factions properly? it seems like it'd be super time consuming and expensive to go through and playtest each and every caster a few times...

>>47751546
just use the spoiled cards and proxy for what ever you want.

I got to say, I really hate the changes to animi.

>>47751282
Its the feat being d6+3 i.e between 4-9 modles brought back. Either make it d3+6 or you know, dont change it at all.

Hellbound no longer being an upkeep is a sidegrade that I'm totally fine with.

Clouds are not always reliable, the feat is sometimes the only thing you have

Also speed6. Seriously, why change that?

>>47751595
Did they do more than just tone them down across the board?

>>47751745
predominantly "self" now

>>47751795
The Troll's elemental lights suffered the worse. They barely had a purpose, and now its even worse.

>>47751595
>>47751795
>>47751980
The worst part is that you know the animi are part of what makes Warbeasts expensive. There are a bunch of Warbeasts I'd gladly trade their animi away for point reductions.

I hate Counterblast on most stuff in legion. I hate self Spiny Growth.

Its why they are expensive and why locks tend to have less spells. But with most going 'self', it cuts heavily into the support locks bring.

>>47751745
Animus variety decreased in most factions.

>>47752182
HA! Critical poison! My least favorite effect to see on a warbeast/jack.

Here, have a random effect that only works on less than half the heavies in the game.

>>47752460
Imo, it doesn't matter. In Cryx spd 6, arm 19 'jack with Reach and Shield Guard is already good enough. "Critical X" effects just too random anyway.

>>47752460
Whatever, its the best non character heavy in the faction. I plan on runing 3-5 with venethrax and possibly 2 with most other casters

Anybody have experience with thewarstore.com?

is it a reliable place to buy shit from??

>>47752812
Yes. They're very solid and have been consistently good to my local group.

Apparently, according to Prime, Thorn Gun Mages do indeed have Both Barrels. Them not having it is probably a War Room error, one among many.

>>47753173
>according to Prime, Thorn Gun Mages do indeed have Both Barrels
Are you talking about free rules? Because there are no cards in them

>>47753316
I think they were selling Prime at Lock and Load, along with the starter boxes.

My other idea with the list is to switch the Grolar for a block of Assassins+Underboss but I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Don't really care about theme list much as it's just models I like.

>>47754054
Alexia is mostly still Alexia. She lost the disjunction ability that interfered with enemy casting (nerf, not major), and traded Disbinding for Spell Ward (decent buff, imo).

Biggest hit to her is that Spell Ward means that Durgen can't Prime the zombies anymore.

If you played the traditional Alexia, running her behind a screen of steelheads and making the opponent kill them all twice, she's still your girl. If you were more about the shenanigans, they've been reigned in a bit.

I have a question for you faggots.

I just got a bone swarm for a journeyman league. I noticed it comes in 2 parts and both are basically just a pile of skeletons. Would it be legal to just base both parts separately and get 2 swarms from the kit?

I was also thinking of doing the same with the Blind walker kit. Use the Wrastler parts and some water effect to make it look like it's swimming in deep water while assembling a full Blind walker. I'm doing some special basing so it won't just be parts glued to the base and then sand/flocked.

Are shooty lists OP in MK3? Can you run an all melee list with some spellslingers and actually win?

>>47754320
You're a fucking idiot. Circle are looking to be one of the top factions. They lost a few things which defined the faction in MKII because they were so broken, but now that's gone the faction has been powered up every where else. They lost very little and gained a shit load of control pieces.

Circle will be top tier.

>>47754320

pretty much my list but trolls in bad instead of circle

>>47754216
Like every borderline-legal conversion: If it looks amazing, nobody will question it. Just google "mecha legion" for the perfect example.

Just sticking Wrastler arms+head on a base will look like crap. But you could make it look like he's leaping from underwater to bite some poor fool (any spare mini) with water splashing all around. Nobody will complain about you fielding that.

>>47754334
>>47754339
I just know MK3 Circle from hearsay. They lost a lot of faction-defining stuff (druids, stones). I didn't know they added anything broken in return.

What's your experience with 'jacks that have the "unstable" rule? How often would they just blow up in your face? I never wanted (actually had balls) to include them in my lists for fear they would just fail and be nothing more than dead points. And with the new power up rule it just seems too tempting not to try and use that focus...What would be some good tactics for them? Load them up with focus, stomp right up to some target behind infantry, kill the target and blow the fuck up in the middle of the enemy squad? Is this actually worth it?

>>47749121
http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252717-A-Guide-to-Rules-Changes-from-Mk-II-to-Mk-III

Here's a nice summary of core book rule changes.

>>47754376
I see, haven't played against them in MK3 yet. In the single MK3 game I made against Circle I just noticed that their Heavies became a lot more manageable with the change to stones. Though of course TK and Hellmouth are still a thing, especially the latter.

>>47754366
Go ahead, that sounds great.

>>47751980

So I did a quick count, and 4 animi in Trolls are not self. Far strike, Earth's Blessing, and Rage are each repeated twice. As someone who just started Trolls, I'm not sure where to go from here.

>>47754403
Importantly, unstable, at least in the leak, was changed to only trigger if more than 1 focus was spent, to go along with power up. However, the models withh unstable also lost the ability to run and charge for free.

>>47755200
A few good choices. Aiyana and Holt are popular. I've seen Tactical Arcanist Corps before. Alexia and the Risen are also not uncommonly paired with Valachev.

Beyond that, sky's the limit really.

>>47755200
Nyss Hunters, Croe's Cutthroats and Alexia aren't bad options.

>>47755347
Still considering options. Might replace the field gun or manhunter with a koldun lord to turn on Vlad 2's bullshit anti-shooting game. Koldun lord to deny shooting in 9 inches, then wind blasts outside of that to basically shut down most of his control area.

>>47755328
Actually, consider dropping the manhunter for Lawrence of Arabia. The list has a pathfinder issue.

>>47755372
That's a good point. Think I should keep the field gun, or go for koldun lord then? I was thinking of field gun as my HoF target but Behemoth is good for that too.

>>47754931
Warmachine is not that kinda game.

>>47752127
The Legion Animus scene in the new edition especially makes me mad. Before you could at least make a decision for a beast not necessarily for its own merits, but for the Animus support it could bring. Now you just get to pick a shitty beast with an overpriced animus that doesn't do shit. I'd argue that shit like Spiny Growth was too much, but then Rage, Rush, and Primal made it through just fine for some reason.

At least we kept wraithbane and slipstream I guess.

>>47755421
You're right, it's the kinda game you buy both models then use proxy bases half the time, anyway. The dude had a creative idea to get more out of his kit and some faggots in here answered with bullshit elitism about their toy soldiers game. Seeing that these same assholes frequent this board, you probably download all your books anyway, which is ironic.

The field gun was kind of a head scratcher and yeah behemoth if you're boosting from powerful attack is probably a much better target. Ranged knockdown is pretty neato, though. That one's up to you!

>>47755382
Ask yourself if you need a ranged KD. It's neat but I don't think it's necessary in your list

>>47755475
I just like the field gun a lot. A pow 15 knockdown going downrange is no joke, I put it in most of my lists. Especially one that has 0 ranged presence outside of behemoth. But that koldun lord combo is something I definitely want to try, so I'll try both variants of the list out and see how they go.

What's the news on power attacks in MK3? Can we finally disarm opponent's 'jacks and steal their hand-held weapons? Trip them? Rip arms out of sockets? MEGAS XLR type of action? :D

>>47755519
They're exactly the same except throws got a little worse, slams can target KD models, and locks and pushes are gone.

>>47755519
You really expected they will add more complex stuff in the "we're simplifying everything to the basest level" edition

So now if a unit leader is RFP'd you don't get a field promotion? That sounds p brutal

Im reading that right, right?

>>47755519
>steal their hand-held weapons
if you're Cankerworm
>Trip them
if you're Amon the pimp
>Rip arms out of sockets
if you're Kell Bailoch you do it from 14 inches away

>>47755421

it is for me, i play on vassal and never pay a dime

>>47755613
No, there's no field promotion only if the leader dies under enemy control

>>47755613

when a model is RFP'd it is also destroyed, so the field promotion still happens

So i really like Savio Montero Acosta, what kind of lists is he taken in? is he any good now that his vengeance movement has been cut down quite heavily?

>>47754394
was this confirmed anywhere? Because for now, they don't have it.

>>47755613
pretty sure somewhere in there it says "if there is no leader model in play then promote"

>>47754216
>Like every borderline-legal conversion: If it looks amazing, nobody will question it. Just google "mecha legion" for the perfect example.

This guy's got it. Rule of Cool trumps all other rules, except possibly the Rule of Unambiguity.

You'll always hear people on the forums grousing about "oh it has to be 50% of the model" or "oh it's not made with official manufacturer parts", etc... that shit is only there to cover edge cases and people who are trying to game the system.

If it's obvious what your model is supposed to be and if you make it look awesome, nobody is going to say anything.

He's still baller as fuck, they got rid of his steady though which is sad because otherwise he would be 80% invincible under Mcbaine feat.

>>47751327
How can one guy be so hateable?

>>47756437
Nope

If there's no leader model a grunt becomes the unit commander but that's not the same as becoming a leader.

The thing that springs to mind immediately is stormblades, since the leader has different rules.

>>47755745
>>47756626
Did he change at all? Maybe reach 1? He wasn't leaked and I am still waiting for my cards..

>>47756710


Yes he gained 1" reach but lost steady, thankfully there are a few ways to get him steady in Mercs

>>47756370
They have it in Prime book (which was sold at L&L).

>>47756802
Sweet. They're worth taking again
in my Malekus army

>>47755699
yes because you're reading half the rule.
If the leader goes under enemy control, then another model in your unit instantly becomes the new leader.

That way if the controlled model is destroyed you still have a leader model.

>all the minions players are talking up the Brigands + UA
Is prey that big of a deal with them?

Emorv sucks, scales is on command range and no purification

>>47756862
Page number?

Because maybe you need to read the field promotion rules.

You replace the leader with a grunt in exactly one circumstance: If the leader is destroyed while under your control.

If the leader is RFPd, or is destroyed under your opponents control, you DO NOT replace the leader.

You instead make another model in the unit into a unit commander, which is NOT a leader.

This will be my first time ordering minis online and wanted to know which site to use.

>>47757015

Fun fact if you're preordering boxes online you're directly causing the death of your local meta. Your LGS will not support warmachine if they see the launch didn't sell shit.

>>47754099

>>47757157
Yes.

>>47757168
>>47757169
>>47757184
So if 7 Thunderbolt shots are not enough for you, why not just take 2 units of Gunmages without UA for far less points and more shots?

- Added a collapse all button on the entry list

This rocks by the way.

Are you taking hints/inspirations/cool idea requests?

>>47757169
>>47757204


Because if the cyclone aims it's pow *14* and can be rolling for brutal damage, thunderbolt or snipe.

>>47757526
Any chace that you'd include models rules down the line?

>>47757458
Yes. The difference is mostly semantics, except for Stormblades and Croe's, both of whom have non-officer leaders who have differnt rules than the grunts.

>>47757596
thats how you get a C+D, junior

>>47757585
Does Thunderbolt work on AoE's? As in, do the targets that take blast damage get "hit" and suffer the Thunderbolt?

That is correct, thunderbolt on a mule that rolls crit devestation is hilarious

>>47751980
They absolutely had a purpose before and now they don't.

Before they could throw their animi on models you wanted to do a little extra work.

Now they're just kind of point fillers. Honestly, I'd take winter or night troll stats on the pyre/slag/storm in order from them to be able to use their animi like in MK2

I think I can pull Google Play details (as I'm working on using Google login for people to save lists and post events) and serve up cards to only people who have purchased the appropriate War Room decks, but:

a) I'm not sure if PP would C&D me for that if I did it (since I'd only be showing cards to people who had already paid for them)
b) It's a non-trivial amount of work to do it (display the cards) *well*
c) I'm pretty sure that if I asked they'd say no, regardless of whether they would pursue it if implemented

So I'm disinclined to set it up. I've got a partial implementation for doing Mk2 War Room cards in html, but they changed the data format for War Room 2 and I haven't tried to reverse engineer it yet.

I'll try to email later but ideas off the top of my head;

Login screen to save rosters/make account
When you add a beast, don't make a user close/open the window each time--keep the beast/jack section open until they hit an X to close, saves clicks
Have a reorder function to move units/beasts/solos up in their sections/sub sections
When copying to clipboard, make the beasts under a caster single space entries--and unit types separated by double space (Units, solos, etc.)
Permalink is hella long
If you ever have log in functionality, allow us to name/save the army


Again, awesome work, love it.

>>47754768
No I didn't. Warmachine was my first tabletop game and I started like 5 years ago. I'm doing a heavily themed base and one of the core aspects of Kaiju movies is having a sneaky look at a monster early in the movie as it's passing buildings or it's swimming towards the land. As such I would like to use that as part of the army theme.

The bone swarms just make sense to split into 2. There's no reason to chuck money away when you can double tap with a few spare skulls.

>>47755083
I'm not poor, I just have a way to do something cool for my army and save money so I'm going to take it. Same way I could buy 6 heavy warjacks or I could buy 2 and magnetise and have the same options on the table top. It just makes sense.

On the warmachine side, aurora can stationary them, and a mitigator shot to follow up will knock it down as well. But heavy jack spam is going to leave their caster open.

Going to pair it with an armor cracking mother list

Have the Convergence plastics gotten any better? Love the faction but never bought in because of the horror stories of mold lines and miscasts.

I need to vent.

I like warmachine, really i do, but this "new war" (pp is asking not to call it mk3, because it isn't mk3) is a big let down.

It's like the land of missed opportunity.
I'm not bothered about individual model buffs/nerfs (even though some of them are quite surprising)
This has nothing to do with "muh army"
It's the basic rules.

Cavalry impact attacks are still in the rules. WTF? if something was a clusterfuck it was that. Why wasn't it replaced with power attack trample?

Throws still require a STR check? again WTF, talk about simplifying?

Water is still rough terrain; it could have been made so pathfinder didn't work in water, to give better granularity.

No more Cmd checks ! so wait, with great big cmd stats it just means units will be able to spread out and ignore AoEs ? but don't worry Cmd stats have been reduced and banners become useful because they bring +2cmd !
But i've checked the rules and cmd stats are often the same as before.

You'd also think that being in formation would be more restrictive, because cmd checks are gone, but no, that's all the same paragraph.

The terrain rules are still just as bad as before, despite the cute additions.

Are you sure this took 3 years of work and playtesting? Because it looks like something an armchair games designer threw this together over the weekend.
I could do better than this without breaking a fucking sweat.

Never have i been so close to giving up warmachine.

>>47758804
I forgot that mini feats are still a thing too !
a warcaster can't feat and run, but sgt john can use his mini feat and run !

But wait - you can't charge your own models, but you can still target and attack them? What's the difference? How is that explained ?
You can't run up to your own guys and hit them, but you can walk up to them and hit them? At least Mk2 tried to be consistent.
Fuck, even Mk1 tried to be consistent.

I feel like I'm looking at confrontation1 becoming conf'v2: AKA change none of the rules that actually needed changing. The thing is that was Rackham, they couldn't write rules even if they had a rulebook on how to write rules.
But this is PP. I expected better.

Dammit i'm annoyed right now.

The Minions facebook page has pics of Farrow Brigands/Commandos. Can anyone go snag 'em?

>>47758876
Premeasuring !

Well this is a clincher.
This is something GW got right.
Some games, like Eden for example, have premeasuring but static movement values, so yes you can hang 0.001" back and the opponent can't charge you.

When GW introduced premeasuring they brought in random charge ranges, but look at the random; 2D6 + SPD
2d6, like with a fucking gaussian distribution in addition to base SPD, a random stat that could be counted on.

So you get boring obvious premeasuring
and decent premeasuring

Why did PP choose the wrong one ???

>>47758936
Pre measuring was already in the game with control area and command areas. It was just a matter of making life a bit easier. It's like bunny hopping in FPS, it wasn't meant to be there but it became such a core part of the gameplay once people found it that it was officially supported from there on out.

It's like complaining that in Chess there is a known movement value and range for everything, so people will just avoid those ranges unless it benefits them. Part of the game is setting up no win situations for your opponent and maybe he will put models 13" from your 12" threat range models. In response you drop a couple of AOEs on his unit because they're not engaged.

It also speeds up gameplay when you know how to use it properly. Instead of spending 2 minutes umming and arring over if you want to do something because you're not sure on the range you just measure it, go "yea that works" or "no, not enough range" and move straight forward.

Pre-measuring enables a higher level of tactical play for a larger number of people. Which improves the quality of the game. It even allows newbies to enter the game a bit more confident because they don't have go guess ranges, fuck it up and get smashed for it.

Pre measuring is a net gain. It does remove a small part of the skill of the game, but it tightens up play across the board to compensate. Plus as I said, any player worth a damn was pre-measuring shit all the time with the control area. Harby having 20" of pre-measuring while Morghoul has 10" was not something they balanced the game around so they simply removed it and opened up Design space with focus.

>>47758804
>missed opportunity
Like removing model volume. Which is impossible to precisely measure and comes up every 1000000 games.

>>47758936
>This is something GW got right.

The forums are idiots. The only real substantive change was a nerf to Hymn of Battle, and the Vassal, which both needed them.

I like the new Farrow. Doesn't help the metal brigands are reportedly a massive, fiddly bitch to assemble.

>>47759414
See >>47759470

Hymn of Battle is +2 damage only. Vassal lost Ancillary Attack and Enliven no longer denies free strikes (unless you're playing Amon). Errants got changed (laterally, imo). Bastions got nerfed.

And then, every jack other than the Reckoner got cheaper, and Power Up happened, and Amon is crazy now with cheap heavies. Cleansers and Daughters have a purpose now. The new caster is good.

Menoth got better against the field, imo, though, as a lot of strong stuff outside of faction got nerfed (which most of the forum idiots seem totally oblivious to), and our jack game is better, going into a jack-heavy edition.

People are talking up Khador and Cygnar, but honestly as a Menoth player I like the looks of Menoth over Khador and at least don't feel overwhelmed by Cygnar.

>>47761262

>>47761240
In general, a list needs to do one of two things.

1. Ask questions of your opponent

2. Answer your opponents question.

Some factions do a lot of 1, some factions do a lot of 2. Cyngar is set up to be firmly in the first camp: bringing powerful lists you need to be able to deal with.

Of course, a lot of this is meta dependent, which is why list building is so crazy right now. No one has any clue what actually works or doesn't.

As far as your pairing goes, you need to cover your main list, most of the time. If your first list murders all the warjacks, you want a list that can deal with infantry spam. If your list is terrible on scenario, you want a list that can deal with it.

>>47761240
eHexy kills all the infantry forever but you should pair him with a rasheth or xekaar armor cracking list because people are going to be trying out jack spam. pZaal should work too.

>>47759596
>for Battle Driven.
battle driven also lost the +2 spd part of it so Knights Exemplar will still be shit

>>47761625
>Skorne
>Crack armour
Heh. Meanwhile my Khador opponent just spams Juggernauts for 11 points each and laughs as his heavies cost less, have higher MAT, have as many boxes, and have higher P+S even after Enrage.

>>47761807
Rasheth gun line has some pretty amazing promise, especially when the Dakaar hits

>>47761771
It never had that.

>>47761870
>When the Dakaar hits just right

>>47761625
>Opponent is playing heavies = Play heavies
>Opponent is playing infantry = Play anti-infantry
Why wouldn't I just play heavies every game?

Why can't Maximus work for Khador

>>47762078

They slaughtered his clan and he hates them.

>>47762095
What's your point?

>>47761807
Yeah bro, arm debuffs with enraged titans and high damage ranged attacks definitely doesn't crack armor.

>>47762078
>Why can't this guy work for the faction whose men he murdered and whose stuff he stole

>>47761962
because then some asshole brings a bunch of weapon master infantry and you can't deal with enough of them before they make your list disappear.

>>47761962
>be me
>spam heavy infantry
>they survive your shitty blasts, electro leaps and covering fire template
>eat your warjacks alive

So does nobody even know what their lists do anymore until we get new cards?

Is there a leak or a .pdf of them somewhere?

>>47762244
Cards are in Warroom, will be leaked to things like WHAC soon enough.
The leaked pdf rules are pretty close though.

>>47762224
So I guess combined arms is the way to go?

>>47762280
Looks like, at least while the meta figures itself out again.
With the new rules for Power Up and increased 'Jack points, I expect we'll be seeing 2-3 Heavies in most lists, rather than the 1 maybe 2 in Mk2

>>47762133
Nigger it ain't like Xekaar is the only Skorne warlock with tools to crack armour. Morghoul1 still has Abuse, Naaresh still has his feat, Rasheth has Blood Mark AND his feat which is actually huge compared to Xekaar. I'd sooner pair my infantry muching Hexeris2 with Rasheth if I needed to crack armour.

>>47762297
>I expect we'll be seeing 2-3 Heavies in most lists

I'm going to enjoy playing Rahn in this edition.

>>47762369
Maybe that's why I listed Rasheth first, you stupid fuck?

>>47762385
I swear if you don't shut up I'll suck your dick no homo though.

>>47762405
PP hasn't given a fuck since mk1.

Yeah, Ret came out strong in Mk3. Arguably second place to Cygnar

How's this look? It's the first list I've ever made. I'm not positive but it seems like Baldur1 does better with living warbeasts then constructs sorta. Since a lot of em cant be knocked down anyways

>>47760291
Jokes on you buddy, i bought into skorne with the All-In-One. Plus i;ve bought both a brute and a shaman.
So I, for one, am super amped about my dirt cheap savage, raider and spiffy caster.

...Not so happy about having spent too much cash on a faction so doomed to suffer this edition.

I am determined to enjoy the suffering that is Skorne MkIII

My rasheth list still uses gators and a task master. Even with them losing boxes and mat, they're brutal with rasheth.

Have you considered giving hexeris a min unit of croaks for boosting ashes to ashes and incindiarii shots? Rasheth and eHexeris are my two-list pairing as well, let me get them put into the list builder real quick.

My grandmother bought me this 40k mini... oh wait it's actually a Minion warbeast.

Decided to split the model up into 2. It's easy to do and it lets me have some fun with the wargames factory skeletons. I think it turned out reasonably well and I will work on the second one later. Going to have this one smashing up through a road, while the other will be leaping out of the ocean.

>>47762550
I like it. Good job.

>>47762529
I dont quite like having to rely on minions to optimize my list.
However, boosted fire attacks DOES sound super sweet.

>>47762440

just my opinion but lord of the feast is a really questionable pick now

>>47762529
>>47762668
Do Incindiarii really need boosted fire to do their job?

I had a lot of fun using eHexy and a mammoth in mk2, and want to see if it's still viable. It gaining some RAT makes its shooting more useful with black spot. If it doesn't work out then I'll swap it for a battlegroup much like yours.

>>47762732
Well, do you remember croaks in mk2 killing everything with boosted pow 12s? Because incindiarii with croaks can still put some good dents on stuff if they're not just wiping infantry out.

>>47762738
I've also toyed around with this version of my rasheth list some. I want to see how Rhadeim does with all the shit Rasheth can do for him. He'd make a fantastic arc node, and can get around to do stupid damage with his AP spear on a blood mark target. Haven't actually played it yet.

>>47762738
I feel as though you're missing a huge trick with Hexeris2 in that he can channel through a Razor Wurm that's 28" away, and a Sentry can sit in the middle of the field and vomit Ashes to Ashes on any infantry nearby. Just run your Wurm behind their lines and watch them squirm as turning around to kill the 7 point light is a huge pain, but if they don't they can lose entire units or get a Black Spot in a nasty place.

>>47762550
Thats sweet man. I feel like the hobby side of warmahordes is neglected :(

>>47762856
Yeah, but usually I end up casting black spot on the front line anyway. I'll try it out if I take him without a mammoth, but I'm willing to sacrifice that otherwise.

>>47762727
What why? :(

>>47762895
Metal models are a paint to work with.
And even then, plastics aren't high quality and aren't designed to be ezmodo customization like GW stuff.

>>47762912
>>47762727
He isn't so bad. Being able to get Corpse tokens from friends and Undead dudes is pretty neat.
Only 1" Reach is a bummer though.

>>47762440
List seems okay, though I'd probably drop the Wilder desu, maybe grab some Stones instead.

Has anyone posted a pdf of Iron Kingdoms Unleashed Wild Adventure, Wrath fo the Dragonfather, or The Blood of Kings yet?

>>47762912

1" range and thresher instead of blood reaper, will probably be difficult for him to earn his points before getting taken out

Anyone manage to get some pics of eElara? I heard Doug was showing off the 3d sculpt.

>>47763075
Thresher is essentially the same as Blood Reaper, but the 1" range hurts.

>>47763075
I didn't notice he had 1 inch reach until now. I just assumed 2inch :(

THOUGHTS?

Why do people post pictures instead of just copy pasting text from Conflict Chamber? Takes less time to do than posting an image and is also easier to read.

Hmm, that might actually be the case.
If so, the LotF is kinda garbage. Shame, he's really cool.

>>47763449

yup, I bought him not too long ago never even got to use him. there's always errata hope I guess

>>47763538
Indeed. One can always hope.

War room 2 fucking up for any one else?

I open it, says downloading expansion and then it sends me back to my tablets menu.

>>47763766
>falling for the war room meme

>>47763802
Local tournies are demanding you have it.

The forums are full of such entitled babbies it's ridiculous.

>>47763985
You can report your local press ganger for that, and you should. Forcing people to use one medium or the either is against the rules.

>>47764013
Well, do you have a physical copy of the mk3 cards?

>>47763240
I feel like Discordia is much better with her than Imperatus. It has a great shooting attack that capitalizes on Rhythm of War (and, from what I've found via a bit of playtesting, tends to be a game finisher if it hits the enemy warnoun), it's accurate in combat, and it boosts her ability to turn her army into a huge impenetrable brick for a turn or two. It also adds to the control element, shutting down animi and spells that could boost movement to catch you.

This would also free up four points for Sylys, who you really want.

General idea seems solid though.

>>47764061
>people can't wait two weeks to run a tournament
what a joke

>>47764013
In the UK mate. We've been ass fucked by PP who sold all their shit to the US and forgot we existed. The store said you need War room because it makes life much fucking easier than trying to find something that's going to be damn near impossible to get.
