Warmachine/Hordes

First for Skorne.

anyone else been like...completely uninspired to play or spend more money on this game? idk

>>47897561
Yeah...

>>47897561
Keynote and attending L&L Germany certainly didn't help. That aside, MK3 did remove some of my big problems with Warmachine, so I'm still playing.

>>47897561
Try playing. It's a lot of fun. Now you can play warmachine like Everblight used to play - a rad ass battle group and some stuff to support your rad ass battlegroup.

>>47898170
>tfw using 2 goodstuff units then NOUNS

>>47897561
I'm hyped as fuck, honestly. Whole new playfield to learn, there are relatively few obvious power lists, and my main faction (Circle) didn't get nerfed as much as I was expecting.

My friend and I are playing our first MK3 games in a few days. 10 points just to get back into the game.

He's bringing
-Ragnor
--Bomber
--Mauler
-Min Krielstone

And I'm bringing

-Ossyan
--Hypnos
--Banshee
-Arcanist

and

-Rahn
--Phoenix
--Chimera
-Battle Mages

Am I gonna get spanked /tg/? I'm thinking Rahn will be stronger just cause of all the problems it causes the Bomber.

>>47898511
You might have trouble hitting since Ragnor hands out cover, but you'll probably be fine

Is there a imgur or something with the cards out? I haven't played the game in years and I just want to see how my faction (minions) has done.

>>47898650
Real faction now. Some things changed but noticeably you got competitive. Hell, even Calaban got buffed.

>>47898805
Yeah, i've read synopsis and seen a few cards (all the gator heavies got dramatically better) but I don't really have anything to compare or look at when I'm curious.

I used to run lists with two gator posses (like everyone had too) and it looks like the possee is borderline junk status now.

>>47898910

Most things are borderline junk now, thats the thing in mk3. Everything is ether toned down,or stayed the same. The things that stayed the same was the stuff that was bad in mk2. The ting that was nerfed was everything that was selling better than the rest.

In truth its a battle between the hearts of the owners "This is whats right!", and the sales department saying; "this is what we do to make money".
Sadly it seems the old saying "money talks" still stands true. As most things that used to be useless, and thus not selling, was buffed. All the while, things that people had a ton of lying around, was nerfed or at best stayed the same.

>>47899142
>As most things that used to be useless, and thus not selling, was buffed
Yeah, Goats and Rhinodons and Crabjacks were selling so well, that had to be stopped!

>Most things are borderline junk now, thats the thing in mk3. Everything is ether toned down,or stayed the same. The things that stayed the same was the stuff that was bad in mk2. The ting that was nerfed was everything that was selling better than the rest

It appears that literally everything in the gatormen other than the possee and that croak unit got better.

>In truth its a battle between the hearts of the owners "This is whats right!", and the sales department saying; "this is what we do to make money".

I think if they had that sort of forethought there wouldn't have been clearly superior units in the previous edition forcing inferior units to go unpurchased. You sell more when everything is good because then everyone wants everything.

>As most things that used to be useless, and thus not selling, was buffed. All the while, things that people had a ton of lying around, was nerfed or at best stayed the same.

Isn't it, like, 10x more logical to assume that the things everyone owned they owned because they were good and everything people avoided they avoided because they were bad. Thus when they rebalance the game the things people owned get worse and the things they avoided get better..?

GW makes transparent cash grabs constantly and their game is an unworkable mess because marketing trumped design, but PP doesn't seem like it fell into that trap.

What's a crabjack? That sounds awesome. Is there a crab faction?

>>47898511

Rhan. Drag one heavy in and kill it, prioritize mauler. Force hammer the Bomber away.

You out threat hugely and are far safer, so it should be an easy game.

>>47899202
don't forget archidons

>>47899334
Nah its just a defensive name for a character with the name of Jack.

One of the Cryx heavy jack platform. They have four legs, skitter around, and have rounded shells that some people attribute crab like qualities to.

>>47898170
Helljacks are boring.

>>47899629
>playing cryx in mk3

>>47899678
All Privateer personality is in the units and solos that buff them.

>>47899202

Sounds like you just hate options.

After fighting it for so long I finally decided I had to embrace the jacks.

>>47899626
They look more like Garthim.

>>47900382
why did they have to be elves?

seriously. i'm not comfortable enough in my own sexuality to play something as faggy as an elf army. but Ret has got so not-shit this edition. and i'm just getting into the game - so it isn't like i have loyalty to any other army.

but elves. fucking elves.
>please name one thing about elves that is not massively gay

>>47900430
Why would you run them with Terminus? Why no Erebus for Berserk+Overtake fun?

>>47900465
IK elves are pretty cool tho,they're elf-qaedah
Elves in general are massively gay though

>>47900465
You could always clip off the ears.

>>47900534
Also cool aesthetics

>>47900534
well, if they had full-on snackbar abilities, then i'd happily martyr them ftw. would be joyous.

but no. they just have decent magiks and tasty shootings and reasonable slashy-choppers, with jank and tech on top of it.

Free charges so they keep their free focus, Berserk so I never have to cast a spell I don't want to cast and Countercharge to make people think twice about where they put shit.

But, honestly? I didn't even really think about it. I just decided I was looking at Cryx wrong and it was time to find some other way of fucking around. Got all these robot points so might as well put them to use.

Both these lists are probably pretty terrible and gimmicky, though.

Is the final ruleset verified? Are the final unit cards verified?
Does Skorne still have to bring their A game to match other factions' C game?

>>47900712
Yes, Yes
yes, hope you like Rasheth

>>47897561
As a Trollblood player I'm actually starting to warm up a bit as I get a handle on things.

Tried this list out once and did alright with it, I love the Reeves now. Still looking for potential to make alterations though. The weirdest thing is that I actually really like the Riphorn here. With Primal and Forced Evo it can one-round almost any heavy in the game due to grab and smash+horned head, while being significantly cheaper than almost every heavy.

Hungerford is streaming hearthstone. everyone go ask him annoying questions about mk3 balance

>>47901170
How do you handle the fury management in that list?

>>47901254
Mostly via beasts dying in trades.

>>47901239

hungerford is probably the most based guy pp has, hope he drops some sick bantz on ya

>>47900712
>Does Skorne still have to bring their A game to match other factions' C game?
I wouldn't say so. But knowing what works well with what will get you much further now than before. Cetrati work well with the Agonizer because it gives them pseudo +2ARM, the new solo hunter Venator Dakka works great with the Extoller Soulward because it can give him magical weapon and eyeless sight, and the Extoller can mop up the souls of the Venators he was casually giving +1RAT by standing anywhere near them. Karax, the ultimate tarpit, get dumb with the Willbreaker because it's 11pts for 10 of these 19ARM cunts who are immune to blast damage and have reach, and the Willbreaker tops it off by giving them tough from 10" away. Like nigger the support in Skorne is so good right now.

And while a lot of the warlocks look kinda meh, you have diamonds in the rough like Rasheth, Hexeris2, Zaal1, and Xerxis1 who look super solid.

Is there anywhere I can find the latest cards for cryx and circle? I'd buy them from war room but I'm waiting for the physical cards to come out

>>47900465
>Elves in this setting can grow beards
>Elves in this setting use grenades as arrow heads
>Elves in this setting invented mechanical boxing gloves that multiply the force of punches so much that they can knock back giant warbeasts
>Elves in this setting don't care about trees and spend a lot of their time trying to dick over and backstab political opponents

>>47898910
Posse is still okay, but now they need to focus specifically on what they want to do, instead of doing all three things at the same time.

>>47901445

>beards
>not gay
uh sure pal. whatever you say Soles, i'll believe you to hell and back.

Any one else still having War room issues?

>>47901770
choir got nerfed but protectorate may be one of the top dogs in the new edition

>>47900652
you should just play them then, you're already coming across as pretty fucking gay as it is, so what do you have to lose?

>>47901859
my bum-virginity. my precious precious bum-virginity.

does it hurt the first time?

Someone posted a drop box link to all of the cards the other day but some of them seemed really off. Are there any other card PDFs out there? Or mention of theme books to use yet?

>>47902078
what is off about them?

themes come december. get your wallets ready goys.

>>47902103
Well some of the trollbloods specifically as they were leaks with the condiftiel' water mark all over them. Some solos had two health box rows on them, mulga attacks were fucked, but also there were a shit ton of nerds not no buffs to the models and units that needed them

>>47902529
the two box rows are there because that way you don't need duplicates of a card if you have more than one

>>47902529
because everything is being balanced against everything else, nerfing one thing is equivalent to buffing another.
and using nerfs to balance prevents power creep.

>>47901445

>>47901564
Their stats aren't the problem. The problem is that iron flesh, spiney growth, and a bunch of other unit buffs are gone AND they got nerfed. They lost their inherent strength and the faction lost almost all of its synergy with them.

They just seem like they don't serve much of a purpose now with how much better everything else has become.

A lot of our casters got turned the fuck up. Sevvy2 in particular is a beast.

Dwarves in this setting are mostly gnomes.

They managed to hold out better than anyone during the Orgoth invasion and basically aided humanity in time of greatest need.

Dwarves are pretty chill in this setting. Too bad all the psychotic ones roam the human lands.

You know whats really great? Jamming your opponent with unkillable, arm 26, tough Stormblades

>>47903985

>>47903985
Can you actually make Maddox good or are they still trash. I want this in my life so badly.

If they dont work, do storm guard work?

>>47898170
Warmachine became MK2 Hordes and Hordes is now about infantry. I am not the happiest about this since I chose Hordes for big monsters.

>>47904041
>stryker1

>>47903985
You know what's better than that?

Shrapnel Swarm.

>>47904075
Hordes infantry became better but it's beasts stayed about the same. You can still run someone like Kaya2 with a large set of beasts

>>47904143
That's not all that hard to play around. Just spread out your dudes

>>47904197
How are you spreading our your dudes you're jamming into someone?

Not much of a jam at that point.

>>47904208
Sure, but then you're Shrapnel Swarming your own dudes. Seems bad

>>47904228
What, my multi wound models or my warjacks? That I can repair?

>>47904228
what is this shrapnel swarm you speak of?
please.
newest of fags here, so memetics are not in my knowledge base yet.

>>47904240
Those super slow fucking dudes? Yeah, you charge those.

>>47904251
When you directly hit an enemy model, after resolving the damage roll center a 4 inch aoe on the model hit. Models under the template are hit and suffer one damage.

Pretty good against single wound dudes assuming your opponent is stupid

>>47904251
It's a spell that Iron Mother Directx has.

It does a POW13 hit to the model hit, and if it hit an enemy model, then after you finish the hit, it centers an AOE4 on the model hit and everyone take a point of damage, regardless of armor. Really good at killing high ARM, single wound models.

>>47904261
SPD5 isn't that slow, especially not in a faction that can get speed buffs.

Her jacks tend to be slow, sure, but she's a gunline caster, so good luck with that.

>>47904280
>she's a gunline caster, so good luck with that.
This is why you're guys are armor 26

>>47904322
You know a lot of my guns do an auto point of damage as well, right?

>>47904280
doesn't anyone else have it or are we getting all scaredy about the possibility of facing one meme leading a force of meme?

i would with play girl CoC-casters all day

>>47904327
This is also why they're tough and other models in the list

>>47904349
It's her signature spell, so no one else has it.

I think Mother will see more play, given the chances to CoC.

>>47904357
Mitigator deals with tough pretty well, and I just kill your other shit with my non-auto point guns.

>>47904358
does CoC come in metal?
or is the plastic actually decent GW grade plastic?

So what's this about goreshade being accepted by ios again?

>>47904428
Casters are metal, the small base infantry are really bad plastic, the medium base stuff is the same plastic, but it's only really bad on the legs, the warjacks are mold lines, but generally alright otherwise, and the TEP and the new Colossal dual kit is GW grade plastic(TEP is a fucking dream to put together, don't even need to glue 90% of it).

Ossyan vs Victoria Haley, who wins in a fight to the death?

[based off fluff, not tabletop rules]

>>47904819
Like, 1v1?

Most likely Ossyan, I'd say.

>>47901413
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5OHGgAx7q66NUdvUFp3LWVQRlE&usp=drive_web

Here's a link for a number of card decks.

>>47904819
Which stage of Haley?

>>47904819
Haley
Mary Sue plot armor beats everything.

>>47904819
Haley's mastery of time magic is whole deviations above Ossyan's. When you read Wrath and read the section about Ossyan perceiving different futures on an individual level there is a sense of scope to his power. Then you read Reckoning and Haley does the exact same thing on the scale of everyone in the city at the exact same time and she can identify character's strands on an individual level and note what choices lead to, you can then infer that her simple prognostication ability is on an entirely other level compared to Ossyan. Nevermind her self-ressing through timestream fuckery effectively making her immortal.

Haley is basically a demigod narratively. Ossyan is just a prodigy but stuck on that mortal scale.

>>47905110

Mind you, Chronomancy is only one of Ossyans major talents.

Haley is REALLY good at one type of magic. Ossyan is pretty fantastic with time, gravity and kinetic energy.

It would be generalist vs specialist. I'd give him the edge if only because that versatility and being a deft hand with both melee and ranged weaponry.

Still would be a hell of a brawl. I'm really looking forward to him getting a rematch with Goreshade where he wins. Ossyan is about the only Face the Retribution has.

>>47905063
You know Haley's had her shit shoved in for being an idiot more than a few times, right?

Like, Haley's super powerful, and destined for great things, but she's hardly a Mary Sue.

>>47905193
that's nice and all but who has the bigger benis?

it sure isn't the elf

>>47905193
It's been a while since I read it, but wasn't there a line or two in his fight with goreshade dedicated to how Ossy's not very good with a sword?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see half of Haley's head get moved five seconds in to the past, but like >>47905110 is saying, the narrative seems to put her power an order of magnitude higher.

On that note, does anyone know of an iron kingdoms individual power ranking by fluff?

>>47905214
like when? You mean losing an arm in a fight where she killed someone in response? You mean the easy fight where she killed a lich lord in one blow? You mean literally overcoming death and the previous physical deformity? You mean beating fucking Skarre in physical combat? You mean she taking a poison for Nemo that's lethal, but not dying outright because she was SO powerful?

Yeah, I agree now. Haley is not a sue. She wasn't born a princess, but as a fisherman's daughter.

>>47905261
>google for iron kingdoms power rankings
>get game of thrones shit
>google for warmachine power rankings
>get marvel shit

my google-fu is weak

>>47905283
How about when she charged blindly at some Khadorians when Stryker told her not too and she walked right into an ambush she could have easily avoided and then got nearly murdered by Sorcha without a chance at fighting back?

To cover the other ones worth talking about.

Skarre's fight has her fight her with her spear when Skarre's unarmed.

The poison she's infected with is specifically noted to not normally be lethal. It depletes the magic reserves of a mage, then runs it's course. If she'd have let Nemo take it, it's very likely he'd have been fine, Haley had the issue because she had too much energy for the poison to finish, so it was killing her.

And when she fought the Lich Lord, wasn't she with Kraye, who did some damage to the dude beforehand?

>>47905261
I think it's dragons with Torruk at top.
Then Old Witch/wurmwood
Cryxian lich lord with Gaspy and Terminus at top of power, Gaspy likely stronger.
Haley
Circle Omnipotents
Maybe Karchev. His condition makes it a mystery whether he's among the weakest or strongest.
Rest of the pack.

>>47905305
To answer your larger problems, this is still a D&D setting, and it's still going to have D&D style shit in it.

So yea, she's going to do heroic shit. Shitloads of other people do heroic shit as well, you've just latched on to Haley as an example.

>>47905312
Uh, there's no fucking way Haley's more powerful than the Omnipotents.

She might have more raw magical energy, but she sure as shit doesn't have the power or experience.

And you're missing a shitload of characters who are plenty stronger than the characters you listed.

>>47905332
Not the poster you're quoting, but please expand? Genuinely curious.

>>47905332
Haley has broken the universal law of causality at this point. While Mohsar... made Mordikaar teleport?

>>47905261
/tg/ tried to make one in the past, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here it was, this was described as based on Narrative power:

>DEITY TIER
Harbinger, Old Witch, Everblight, Toruk, Other Dragons

>DEMIGOD TIER
Mohsar the Desert Walker, Lortus the Watcher, Dahlekov the Scourging Wind, Cassius and Wurmwood, Haley

>FUCKING RETARDED TIER
Kreuger, Asphyxious, Deneghra, Goreshade, Vinter, Baldur, Thagrosh

>STRONG TIER
Butcher, Severius, Issyria, Rahn, Vayl, Saeryn, Morvahna, Caine, Iron Mother, Lucant, Doomshaper, Testament

>ABOVE AVERAGE TIER
Rasheth, Hexeris, Mordikaar, Nemo, Xerxis, Zaal, Bloody Barnabas, Dr. Arkadius, Carver, Kromac, Ossyan, Terminus, Venethrax< Malathrax

>EVERYONE ELSE TIER
Everyone else

>>47905341
Karchev isn't especially powerful for a mage, for one thing. Yea, he was likely better before he ended up the way he did, but he was never noted for his exceptional abilities. Karchev's just famous for being fueled by nothing but hate, and his hate is limitless.

But fluffwise, comparing character powers is pretty fucking hard. Haley, Denny, Rhyas, and Sareyn are all fairly powerful, but the big thing is that they're all twins, and that means something special(Twins is a big deal in IK, for reference the last set of famous twins became gods). And then you get into all sorts of crazy shit.

How do you judge how powerful Mord is, for example, a man who clawed his way back, almost entirely sane, from a hell that instantly drives all Skorne insane?

>>47905349
And banished the manifestation of the Wurm from Caen. Can't forget "Fucked a god up" in that list.

>>47905353
Kinda surprised to not see Magnus in there at the Strong tier. For a guy who's missing an arm and has a limp, he's managed to kick loads of ass.

>>47905367
Magnus is likely one of the best warjack mechanics on the face of the planet, in addition to having some of the best underworld contacts in the business and surviving torture from the best Skorne Paingiver in the business.

>>47905367

>>47905895
Gun bunnies don't need Fire for Effect when they all have Powerful Shot and Power Up happening.

As was mentioned, the reasoning for the list is Ossrum gives them all a little speed boost with Energizer. Being able to cycle Snipe between two Gunners is pretty neato. That many Gunners can focus fire down most high ARM while having ARM18 themselves. The feat is all sorts of nasty stuff combined with the bunnies getting Bulldoze to push non-2" melee out of engagement, and then back up further, or wherever. Though they don't bulldoze on the Energizer, that doesn't really change the plan much.

Blasters brought to hose down infantry that comes too close. Horny Cryx Raiders will get hit by a Powerful Shot'd RAT6 SPR8 and then die. The ones that don't will have to try their luck against the other 3-4 close enough to spray as well. If all sorts of shit is hitting the fan, the bunnies can try to push upfield as quick as they can and Ossrum can try to end the game with his Crit Decap sword. It's not a good solution, but not a lot of casters have something like that with them.

Reinholdt is in the list to remove stealth or w/e. Orin to (sort of) prevent spell assassination.
Bokor on Ossrum and Orin but mostly just to double shield guard Ossrum.

I think Rahn might be in Fucking Retarded tier. He's pretty impessive.

Haley is in Protagonist tier. She's nowhere near as powerful as most of these other guys 99% of the time. She got absolutely fucked by Sorscha and ganked by a nameless Cryxian warcaster. Deneghra beat her pretty solidly until she went for a last-chance Hail Mary. Haley is one of those young characters with a ton of potential who isn't entirely on the level of the other true masters, but brings out that potential in fits and bursts when it matters most. She's every shonen hero, except with tits.

>>47906084
Ah, thank you, my good friend.

>>47906076
yeah buddy. might have to whip me up a set or two of bunny molds...

suspect there could maybe be variance on support/others, or total number of rabids.

but i'm basically sold on the meme here anon.

might not win all the wins, but i bet it'd go surprisingly deep in your average tournament.

thanks for the explains.

>>47906205
Was thinking of doing the same thing for slayers.

So, how useful are porks now, are they playable or doomed to irrelevance once more?

Part of the issue with judging power levels is while they are all warcasters, they don't all like to fight the same way. The Retribution has a decent number of people who's preferred strategy would be 'Shiv the other guy before he gets into his armour' while there are people with a lot more magical power and skill than Butcher who'd just die if he got into melee with them. Garryth could likely kick the ass of several people with a lot more magical talent than him just because he'll be Nothing Personaling sleeping targets but he'd drop significantly in a fair fight. Nemo is godly with prep time and jack support but he's a fragile old man without it.

Even Ossyan vs Haley is tricky to judge as 'Who is more powerful' as Haley has the raw potential but Ossyan has experience and practice. He invented an entirely new school of magic without any innate talent for it. On the other hand, Haley is a D&D Sorcerer. She has obscene magical power within her focus due to natural talent.

There are plenty of situations where the logical, learned approach or the 'fuck it, I'll just wing it' is superior.

>>47906205
How do you make your moulds? That sounds interesting.

>>47906343
The only Farrow beast I see that is in a real sorry state is the Battleboar. I got to proxy it a good number of times, and to be honest, it got pretty degenerate. I wasn't even running the full SplatterBatter package, just 3 Battleboar, 2 Splatter, 1 Razor and 1 Road Hog with units and stuff besides that.

If you meant Farrow as a whole, they all gained tough, for one. I'm a little more excited at Calaban being worth while to the table for the first time, but pigs are in pretty much the exact same spot they were in, but more options available now. Being able to bring any Minions in your list (Gator beasts to gator casters, pigs to pigs, of course) opens up so many options both pigs and gators lacked before. It's pretty neato. Swamp Horror being able to give something like the Meat Thresher 2" melee, just as the very first thing I thought of.

>>47906391
If you mean casting minis, I found this pretty useful.

>>47906391
two-part silicone mould.

can be tricky depending on the parts/things you are duping. severe case of planning things thoroughly, otherwise you'll be pissing money away as you waste mould after mould.

good idea is to try first using clay and plaster to make test moulds, then cast wax testers.
clay is reusable. plaster is cheap. candles and crayons are cheap.
silicone and epoxy are not cheap.

and we're cheap. if we weren't so cheap, we'd buy the damn thing.

I DO NOT ADVOCATE THE NON-BUYING OF ORIGINAL PRODUCT. this is PP, we should support them with moneys.
GW on the other hand...
BUT if i want to meme a bunny list, i do not want to actually buy that many of the damn cute wee jacks.

So, opinions on the Satyxys Gunslingers?

>>47906522
Agreed. I've only looked into casting recently because Venom/Zoanthropes are just 2 pieces per body away from a 6 model box. And now I'm making extra base inserts and other stuff. Making a duplicate of the Firefly arms for a friend and making some Reaper Tombstones for another person's Carrion Thralls (the set of tombstones they come with is only 6). Not whole models though.

At the extreme minimum, for the gun bunnies, I would suggest only making moulds of the shotgun and the regular gun. So that, after finding the right mix of which you prefer, you can pin/magnet/magic rabbit tricks to make the amount of which you want.

>>47906522
There are a handful of manufacturer's out there making re-usable casting gels. Insta-mold and similar. Good way to save money if you're only casting one-offs.

If you're trying to make a high detail cast, push a hard setting 2-part (like the old "brown stuff") into the mold as a first layer to catch all the little hard edges and rivets, and then fill in behind it with cheaper fill material like plaster.

>>47905353
Makeda should be in the fucking retarded tier since in the lore Vinter considered her an equal when they fought. And Morghoul should be in strong tier considering he ran into an Iosan mine alone and wiped the entire place out.

>>47906570
There one of the new breed of single wound, 13/13 defensive stat 3 man units that cost 7-9 that I think people don't know what to do with yet. I'd say there with the thorn gun mages and nu greylord ternion. They can get work done and with premeasuring it will be easier, but you're going to have to have a plan to protect them to get your value out of them.

I'm a recent khador convert and I feel like I'm the only one that loves these units on paper. Also the only one that likes the old witch T.T

>>47906352
>The Retribution has a decent number of people who's preferred strategy would be 'Shiv the other guy before he gets into his armour'

This is probably why the only Ret 'caster to lose a fight so far has been Ossyan, against Goreshade. Kaelyssa, for all her lukewarm tabletop performance, has been beastly in the fluff.

>>47907174
Troll casters aren't that powerful though, except maybe Doomy. Their power is their kinship not raw magical talent.

I thought Wurmwood was Old Witch power level. At least, it's more powerful than the omnipotents.

Well, wait, are we ranking them based on who would win in a fight or how amazing the things they do are? Because they aren't necessarily the same.

I get the impression that Harby can do more awesome stuff than The Old Witch, but Old Witch would gut her in battle. Hell, Garryth or Rhyas or someone would probably gut her.

>>47907717
ah but that's just for 1 turn. i was thiking the whole game .. lol nvm only worth it on deliery turn and gunline will thin them out before that (Bloat thralls + mobius + defilers + venom spam)

>>47907718
Mainly on who would win,but I was trying to not disregard their general prowess.
Even in that regard,I think,old witch would one up her,since she is a full-fledged demigod,whereas Harby is more of a prophet/channeler of Menoth's power

>>47903985
Cetrati with Xerxis1 and an Agonizer are 24ARM, and 26ARM on feat turn. Throw in the Willbreaker you were probably bringing anyway and they have tough too.

>>47907771
too easy to kill with continous fire. need a krea in there and 1 or 2 brutes for shieldguard and ti's too easy to stay out of the agonizer with ranged continous fire. (dispell everywhere to get rid of defender's ward)

Anybody got that Aiakos2 pic?

>>47907804
Shield Wall lasts until next activation now, not next turn.

>>47907825
arm 20 dice off 8 . doable . . bring a unit of croaks and it's boosted with oil.

just gotta use something to kill the agonizer ranged wise (sacrafice arc node to spell it down)

>>47907825

Harder now with the rarity of Purification and Vorkesh giving Sacred Ward (so you can have spell defense *and* Def Ward up at the same time)

Changes to concealment really fuck the ternion. Now they are regulated to jack support or ghost busting.

Just trying to get a handle on all the rules, so let me get this straight:

With assault you can make a ranged shot at the end of your charge movement. When you charge you have to pick a direction that will put you into melee range with your target assuming you have infinite charge range. But during a charge you cannot stop your movement until you are within melee range or you run out of movement. So if you have enough movement to put yourself in melee range you HAVE to.

There's nothing in assault that states that you can fire while in melee ad since firing in melee is prohibited: units with assault and without gunfighter cannot fire their ranged weapons if they get into melee with their charge target, yes?

If so it makes assault seem extremely situational since all it is is three inches of extra movement with an intensely restrictive and often prohibitive direction required to move since you very well could easily put yourself into counter charge range.

>>47906097
While true, I personally think that with the events leading up to her 3rd version that's changed somewhat. She can hit at a very strong power level consistently, especially if she's spent two years honing it.

>>47908128
>There's nothing in assault that states that you can fire while in melee ad since firing in melee is prohibited
I am certain you are mistaken here, but don't have the exact wording on hand.

>>47908128
Since Assault specifies you can make a ranged attack in that situation, it overrides the usual rules.

Even if you're in melee, you can still make the ranged attack.

>>47908128


The rule that states you cannot shoot while engaged is tied to the basic ranged attack rule.

Assault overrides that because you are making a special attack outside your normal combat action.

So yes you can fire with assault even if you're in melee.

>>47906570
They might as well rename Cryx as Satyxis because Satyxis units are the only ones worth using anymore (and Bane Knights).

I don't understand why Skorne players keep compaining, at least their units are equal so they can take whatever they want.

is Blaize a good anti Cryx drop for Mercs?

>>47906570
I'd like them more if they were a 6 man unit

>>47907869
Is that aiakos? I thought they said it was faynna.

>>47908399
Fyanna is the legion warlock,Aiakos is for Cryx

>>47908416
Yes and when the pic was first posted I thought they said that the pic was fyanna not aiakos.

>>47908433
Ah,sorry,my bad,there are no pics of fyanna yet,at least not that i know of

>>47908452
No, what im trying to say is that the picture above is a picture of Fyanna. Not a picture of Aiakos.

There's a thread on the legion forums with a number of people who are talking about the model, including doug hamilton. People who were at L&L described the sculpt as bestial with a more hunched over posture. She also is supposed to have a braided pony tail with some giant spike on the end. Also I don't remember aiakos having hooves and multi segmented legs.

>>47908514
Yes,i followed that thread,and i remember that they didnt post any pics
The pic i posted tho,is clearly aiakos(its confirmed as well).If you look closer,you can see that hes legs only have one joint,the horns are the opposite way(fyannas were described as similar to kryssas)hes armored,has a furnace etc

>>47908602

>>47908248
Just no. She's worse than in Mk2. And no that one ability does not change that.

No I'm still looking for it so I can't really confirm if its true or not. I personally remember reading something that suggested that her horns curved down unlike kryssa's which is why I thought that the pic above was her.

I'm still looking for the post but sorting through facebook post is hell.

Okay thanks, you guys are right.

I had missed the section on page 10, the first paragraph in 'Rule Priority' where it says that special rules (rules on models) always trump standard rules (rules in the book).

Their army has changed in some ways that makes it uncomfortable for people that got used to it. So edition shakeup jitters.

Their big gains are 1 point FA 2 dominators, hyperaggressive on monstrosities, new monstrosity focus rules, and actually having a theme force.
>>47909876
Sac pawn is only gone off the unit leaders which can adjust positioning a bit to compensate (be further back). The solos and warcasters still have it. Wardens also got cheaper and provide shield guard.

They're a meme army

>>47910170


Yeah exactly, it's not the doom and gloom people had been making it out to be. FA 2 dominators means thorn gun mages + Aiyana and Holt too which gives you some meager range game.

So I've been thinking about Sevvy2.
Obviously a strong caster. The biggest thing is that he packs a tonne of infantry hate in an edition that is trying to reduce infantry use.
So I figured that he needs some hard hitting units. The main there being that he hardly buffs them, aside from arcane ward (and I suppose rebuke almost guaranteeing them the charge.

Basically, I think this might be the place for the devil dogs to shine in menoth. They are pseduo weaponmasters, and have higher defense than the other weaponmaster options in menoth.

Not that far in the future but its something i guess

>>47910410
Yes, but awareness doesn't do that much for melee jacks outside of fighting the balanced cloud man since they generally won't have the pathfinder to charge through forests .
And most ranged jacks are better suited for killing infantry or sniping solos

>>47910443
>And most ranged jacks are better suited for killing infantry or sniping solos
Awareness makes them very frightening ranged assassins. Reckoners, colossals, ect. The Revelator will pretty much guarantee your opponent can't dominate zones.

I take it the guy didn't do very well.
I mean, pKreoss is an amazing blanket support caster, but that's not going to beat a skew list like the Lucant lists - and most players just build him pop and drop rather than something to take advantage of blanket support.

>>47910621
Lucant fucks most of his support as well, so yea.

I got to show him turn two that if he moved just enough forward to catch me in Lamentation, I could just back up with my 2" of extra control area and purify.

And yea, the guy did very, very badly. It's likely the most one sided match I've ever had at a major tourney.

>>47910610
I'm still allergic to bringing infantry with Syntherion, but off the top of my head.

Too many Attunement Servitors. With a Cipher in there as well, you don't need six sources of flare. I'd drop them and the Galvanizer, get a Mitigator(great anti-touch tech now), and either get a third ADO or some Accretion Servitors.


I personally much prefer the Assimilator over the Monitor with Syntherion. Benefits from Synergy more and Ground Pounder super benefits from Hot Shot. It can also easily spend all three focus at range, so it's easier to induct with.

Beyond that, finding the points for a Modulator instead is also a great idea. Good target for Reconstruct, comes with two melee and two ranged shots, so it's great with the feat and with starting or even ending Synergy chains.

I'm assuming your bringing the Recips to hold a zone, which is fine. Dunno if I'd do it, but I can't really say it's a bad choice either.

Thx for the source bruh
Lmao, the inflictor is coming in august,its like theyre doing this on purpose

>>47910921
Ok. PA's a great choice for Synth, especially if you don't have the jacks to do double Assimilator.

Looks fine to me, Inverter is your Reconstruct target, Hot Shot is so much better on the PA now that it lost it's targeting restrictions

What's your general battleplan?

>>47905261
Yeah but I can't remember if it's that he's not great with a sword or if it's that he's not great with a sword compared to Goreshade wielding Nyssor's blade.

Big difference.

>>47910979
I'm afraid we're all out of jokes, ma'am.
Maybe you should ask for gags.

>>47911042


>now that it lost its targeting restrictions

Huh?

>>47911502
It used to have autofire [3], which meant the second two shots had to target someone with 3" of the first shot target. Since it's just a RoF 5 gun now, you can shoot whoever.

Do you guys think we should add a 'Basic tips and tricks' pastebin to the OP post?

I keep seeing lots of people saying they're just getting into or are thinking about getting into and I think it might be useful to them if we could compile some basics for them.

What I'm saying is stuff like:

-Only spend focus/fury on a charge with warjacks/beasts if you need the three inches of movement because you're investing resource into the damage boost on an attack that might not hit. (Models that charge for free or have bonuses to charging ignore this)

Balance the benefit of boosting damage and buying another attack. 2d6 averages at 7. 3d6 averages at 10.5 (or a 3.5 damage benefit). If you're dealing dice minus three damage or better, you'd likely rather buy another attack with the focus, so long as hitting isn't an issue.

Any other tips for new players you'd give to help them along?

Thoughts?

>>47911884
>infantry in mk3

>>47911572
And you couldn't put more shots on the secondary target than you could the main, which was also annoying.

But yea, straight ROF is disgusting with it. The TEP losing targeting restrictions is even more crazy.

>>47911884

I'd drop the journeyman and rifle grenadier for the trencher CA

>>47911897

Blast immune perma cover infantry

>>47911917
I'm definitely happy with the trade. 1 less shot total in exchange for free targetting and not needing to spend focus for half the shots is nice.

>>47910979
Can we get an IT'S_HAPPENING_VENETHRAX.jpg? Regarding aforementioned seether inflictor combo kit?

>>47911956
Well, and not front loading the damage, which might have been cute as hell against warcasters with the change to overboosting.

someone in Washington buy my Retribution so I can go buy more plastic crack.

>>47912098
Does it have to be in washington? Depending on what you have I'd be willing to pay to ship it.

>>47905353
Barnabus should at least be in strong Tier. He's like 500 years old and is leading an army into a suicide attack against cygnar in order to kill enough civilians that he literally becomes powerful enough to kill, eat, and become the new god of death. Dudes legit.

>>47909921
Here is the wording exactly.

"Assault
A model with the Assault advantage can make one
ranged attack as part of a charge during its activation. This
ranged attack must occur after the model ends its movement
but before it begins its Combat Action and must target the
model charged. The model cannot make an assault attack if
it is in melee with its charge target at the start of its Normal
Movement. If the target is not in the charging model’s melee
range after ending its movement, the charge fails, but the
model with Assault can still make the Assault ranged
attack before its activation ends."

>>47915295
Thats fucking awesome holy shit. Epic Barny when.

>>47913350
My problem with Haley hate is that it's hard to separate Game-Haley hate with Fiction-Haley hate.

I absolutely abhore Game Haley as a concept and absolutely hate how invincible she is in the fluff. So I guess I double up on it because one feeds into the other.

>>47915295
Didn't he already ascend to godhood when Dr. Arkadis has Carver kill him atop a veritable mountain of corpses?

>>47916630
Yup
Then you got Wurm Kromac to look at

>>47916282
They don't seem like they want to give minions any epics. Lord Carver and Calaban probably both deserve one at this point too, considering how the storyline has gone.

>>47916630
Oh, I had no idea! Is that a new thing? What book is that in? I gotta read it. Haven't played in a few years.

I find it hilarious that there's this random gatorman guy basically trying and succeeding at the same shit Gaspy tried to pull, but nobody's paying attention for some reason.

Everything this guys does just flies completely under the radar. Hell, I doubt most fans even know what he's doing.

>>47916944
When you are at war, you really dont expect the swamp hillbillies to suddenly start working together. You might even count your blessings when you find out the swamp hillbillies are causing trouble in your enemy's land.

>>47916944
Gaspy and Barnabus are probably comparably old and its implied that gators get stronger and larger as they age (like in real life). Asphyxious might have been able to pull it off if he wasnt at war with the largest military power on the continent.

>>47916944

Man I hope we get an epic version of Barnabas soon.

Because of low expectations.

When some scary as fuck lich lord does it in a big flashy fashion with artifacts and swirling vortexes of life and death!....Well that's dangerous, send our greatest heroes and 10 platoons of our killer deathbots and 100 holy support mages!

But when some hum drum Hillbilly does a plan that involves killing a bunch of people and dying, people where like "Eh just stupid hillbilly let him fight".

>>47916838
Really? But Magnus gets to go epic, and probably even legendary. The fuckers.

Alright wmh general, since Mk3 has finally had a little time to stew, rate your factions casters/locks from best to worst. For example:

>Retribution
Ravyn < Garryth < Thyron < Kaelyssa < Vyros1 = Vyros2 < Helynna = Issyria < Rahn < Ossyan

>>47903237

The opposite of haram is halal.

I want another gatorman unit and another bogtrog unit. I don't care what, just that it happens.

Maybe gatorman beserkers with claws and teeth to be a cheaper posse. Bogtrogs with crossbows, or two hand-weapons/shield+hand weapon might be cool too.

>>47918217
Nah, we'll get a 3 man croak spell caster unit with one hit box each instead

>>47918255
I want a croak caster and an epic barny. A croak caster could be such a baller assassin.

Other than that I want a character heavy and a ranged light. The Gator faction has the minimum number of everything it needs other than character beasts and lights.

>>47918354
Better lights would be pretty stellar.

>>47918217>>47918255
>>47918354
>>47918391

gators with stolen tech would be nice. the piggies have guns and shit....

gator heavy infantry with jump packs and 8 boxes sounds like an ideal compromise. so flak field and all the accompanying goodness that flying amphibians could bring!

>>47918500
tech will always be on pig side. Doubt it'll go gator side.

Do we have Wild Adventures yet? Should have croak stuff in there that could give an idea what a Croak lock would be like. IIRC, they're conjoined twins.

>>47918541
I really do want Croaks in IKRPG.

>>47918354
A Croak lock, and a Croak support spellcaster solo would be ideal. Not a fan of spellcaster units. A massive frog heavy with assault and pull on their tongue would be sweet too. Maybe the ability to take swamp trolls on the croaklok.

I would love a ranged light too. What do you think would work? An undead bull snapper that shoots death lasers? That is what I would want as long as it retains the Maelok/Blindwalker image.

We need crab/crawfish lights
Preferably with some sort of bubble beam out of their claws...

>>47918686
I am okay with this. I like crawfish. I still want a undead voodoo laser bull snapper though.

>>47918639
>I would love a ranged light too. What do you think would work? An undead bull snapper that shoots death lasers? That is what I would want as long as it retains the Maelok/Blindwalker image.

>We need crab/crawfish lights

Yeah, some sort of giant crawfish or electric eel could work out. Or maybe a smaller version of Skarrath, Dhalias heavy beast.

Or just a croak with a big crossbow riding a really big toad, kinda like that one troll with the pygmies on its back.

>>47918769
I think the tatzylworms should be a warbeast unit actually.

>>47917272
Asphyxious is millennia old. When did Toruk come to Cryx? Asphyxious is older than that.

>>47918097
The way you're using your caret imply that Ossyan is greatest of them all, but your test says rating from best to worst which would imply left should be best and right should be worst.

>>47917605
Epic Magnus is older than Minions as a faction.

So I'm getting back into playing after having not played since like... 2007. All my cards are MK1, black and white garbage.

Since i'm married now and my wife's been increasingly interested in minis games, we're going to pick a pair of the MK3 boxes. I never touched Hordes, but Legion looks cool. Other than that, I think I want to pick Retribution.
Is there a good suggestion for my wife to play? She was leaning Menoth or Cryx, but I don't want to set her up with something that's overly complex initially. She also doesn't like sacrifice effects, and I know that the Reclaimer used to eat infantry. Is he in the MK3 box, and is that still his thing?

Any other recommendations/pairings?

>>47918855
Toruk was already in cryx when Asphyxious showed up, but yeah he's probably older than Barny. Barnies ~500.

>>47918949
Cryx is one of the more difficult factions for new players to pick up. If you want something newbie friendly Cygnar or Menoth are probably where its at.

If you're ok with Hordes trollbloods, minions, and Legion are all fairly simple.

>>47918875
might bad, I meant the way the carets go.

>>47918950
Asphyxious was the Omnipotent in charge of the Scharde Isles and he saw Toruk arrive. He was there before Toruk.

>>47918876
The point I am making is that PP's stance seems to be "no" on epic minion casters at all. I was using magnus as a counterpoint that the WM equivalent of minions already has an epic caster.

Hey Legion players, I'm appraising my collection and seeing how I can get 75 pts out of it. Is this a solid start? What would you do differently?

Pic related is built from models in my collection, but ive also got some odds and ends, including strider rangers and more beasties.

>>47919436
you managed to get a hellmouth? Fuck yeah. I think whatever your warspears assault will die. They look very nice in the list.

>>47919547

Yep! Grabbed it at Lock and Load the other week since my friend is an enabler.

>>47919031
Oh, I thought he was some rando druid who showed up later. Do they actually say how old he is? 1000 years would make Cryx like four times older than the USA.

>>47916629
That's absolute horseshit.

I don't hate Harbinger, Krueger, Morvhanna, Vayl.

Haley is just a self insert mary sue and she's just awful on the tabletop as insult to injury.

>>47919924
I've never understood why people think she's a self insert.

A self insert of who?

And furthermore, I don't get the mary sue elements as well. When does she display that sort of shit? I mean, sure, she's powerful, but it's not like she just runs rampant over everyone. Like, until At What Cost(and the rumors go that she was supposed to be a Convergence caster until they changed it at the last minute) she didn't do anything really fucking crazy that wasn't without help or the plan of someone else.

And even then, it's not like she's the only character in the story that's come back from the dead. There's a shitload of characters who've done the exact same shit.

I picked up some skorne garbage back in mk2 and still have it new in packaging.
I'm tempted to open it up for mk3 but all I hear is how skorne is horrible.
Should I just try to sell it off and cut losses while its still in packaging?

>>47920083
sell

>>47920114

can I even sell it at this point? Why would PP do this

>>47920053
There is a scythean in the list.

>>47920083
i want to get into skorne for mk3.

a challenge is always fun. and skorne's dwanky state seems like a joyous ground for skornegetic victories.

where are you and how much do you want for it?

>>47918097

Skorne

Solid tier
Rasheth

Shit tier
the rest

boy that was easy

>>47918097

Will reserve my judgement on the Zaals until the errata. Maybe their skillset will actually work then.
