How do you guys imagine the former Empire and Bretonnia factions will be remade?

Will they still resemble their old selves or will they be heavily remade for the new setting?
Maybe they will be combined?

I haven't found much information about the future of either for the most part.

>>48272196
What were the differences bewteen the Empire and the Bretons anyway?
>>
>>48272202
Empire were gunpowder era Holy Roman Empire, Breton were medieval France.
>>
Just getting into age of sigmar, revamping (pun intended) my old vampire counts army and looking at flesheater courts. What would be a good foundation/list for a ~1500-2000pt army?
i.e. what formations should I pick, and should i grab anything from outside flesheater allegiance?
>>
>>48272229
Start out with whatever models you like really. Flesheater will limit your selection quite a bit to everything ghoul, same for the formations. Just make sure your have your min. battlelines (I think zombies are universal battleline for Death?) and try to get a feeling for the game. After that you can judge for yourself what is worth and what not.

>Empire were gunpowder era Holy Roman Empire
Well here's my interpretation of them in AOS, trust me, it's the best idea since underwear.
>Steampunk+Religious Fundamentalism+Iron Man.
>>
>>48272196
It would make sense to give the empire a heavy steam punk subfaction and one focused on the priests. I mean they already have these, but that is where the aesthetic will go to. I doubt that they will atick to the landsknecht aesthetic.
Bretonnia, I don't know. Again, it would make sense to weed out the peasants and focus on the 'cool' heroic knights. Would be a little redundant, with the sigmarine knights already being a thing, but who knows.
Imho the worst (as in ' most boring') for AoS that could happen is just some repacking, like bonesplitterz or ghouls.

I wouldn't buy any oop stuf for AoS desu. On they long run the rules will be unofficial and everyone will hate you for using it, if it's even remotely strong. The models don't match all too well with newer stuff and they are probably overcosted. So why even bother, if all you gain is some short term power in your army?

It fits perfectly into the warma/wow aesthetic GW is going for, might even be nice to have some steampunk city guards for the humans. I mean at least ot wouldn't be as bland as the sigmarines. Think of how good admech looks (not steampunk, but still machines and shit)

Any rumors on what GW is planning with the Elves for Age of Sigmar?

Do you guys think that the different elf groups will all get their own battle tomes etc, or will they all be mashed up into one whole?

The tree men and dryads already became their own entity away from the wood elves, in the form of the Sylvaneth, so who knows what will happen to the wood elves themselves.

Not OP. He's actually rather reasonable. Still packs a reasonable wallop, but rather fragile and pillowfisted (unless he's marked Slaanesh, in which case he's a 3" bubble of 'I get to pile in before you do, no matter what you do').

One month.

>>48272229
Unless you're planning to use your king's command ability to drop flanking flayers, you won't use it. Take a vampire lord as your general in addition to a king on terrorgiest.

The Charnal Pit Horde (at the minimum requirements, but with a squad of 6 horrors) plus a Vampire Lord makes for a scary 1k army. You get +1 attack from your Vampire Lord, +1 from your king, +1 from the pit, and that's even before size bonus. I'm still crunching numbers on 2k armies, so someone else will have to help.

Order is mostly played by the little kiddies that have summer break right now. Expect turnaround once everyone else starts playing.
>>
>>48273054
Solid, but you should always let your Gors hav shields. They are surprisingly sturdy with them. Also, Wargor BSB is probably the best force multiplyer you can get with Goats. +1 to wound and taking no battleshock tests is an auto include at merely 80 points.

He is a legacy model. Most of them are pretty meh, but the BSB is probably the best Flag-waver in the entire game. Skaven one is pretty rad as well but only grants rerolls one a hit of 1.
>>
>>48273070
>Order is mostly played by the little kiddies

Order is just mostly played in general.
I don't think I need to remind anyone what happened in Storm of Chaos.

Chaos came from 4 Warhammer Armies.
Destruction came from 2 Warhammer Armies.
Death came from 2 Warhammer Armies.
Order came from 6 Warhammer Armies.

Then just look at AoS so far.
Chaos has had two battletomes.
Destruction has had one battletome.
Death has had one battletome.
Order has had four battletomes.

I really can't imagine order will lose in popularity at this point, especially when the fluff so far has been Chaos and Death jobbing.
>>
Are Morghast Harbingers cheesy?
Everytime I've used them, they demolish what's in combat with them.
>>
>>48273184
Ah sorry, mixed it up with the rat one, Thought have gave the wound bonus along with the immunity. Still +1 to wound within 16" is nothing to sneeze at.
>>
>>48273054
The normal ungors don't have an option to take Bows anymore. The Ungor Raiders have the bows and those cost 80 pts per 10.

The AoS community has been nothing short of amazing so far. After playing a testgame I settled for Skaven, bought my first box of clanrats, brushes and paints and circle bases. The redshirt gave me a few more bits so I could make two commands so that I have 2 battlelines and one of the local rat player gifted me a Warlord as my HQ. Finished painting them today. So now I am at 2 times 10 Clanrats and one Warlord.. what should I go for next? I'll probably try and play an actual game tomorrow with my dudes, hopefully they won't all run from the battlefield.
>>
>>48273054
GBS are nearly useless. There's a unique GBS with a much better spell in the legacy rules you should take a look at instead (Malagor the Dark Omen, I think?). He even counts as a GBS for the purpose of battalion keywords.
>>
>>48272549
So the actual flesheater courts formations are no good?
>>
So I decided to collect another army but can't decide between Beastmen(warherd in particular) and Ironjawz. I absolutely love the look of both of them, and both seem like they would be fun to play. What do you guys think? Also, how is the Ironjawz Warchanter?
>>
>>48273321
Look online for Isle of Blood starter bits, weapon teams, rat ogres etc. The plaguewind launcher is thought to be more effective than the warpfire.
The rat ogres are better in this kit than the dated standalone kit, but if you like stormfiends just grab those.

If you like skryre,
Get a doomwheel. One of the best kits around.

Figure out if you like general rats, mainly pestilence or skryre, eshin might get new stuff next year, moulder like hellpit can just fit in as you like.

Highly recommend stormvermin, in game and as a good kit. Great models, also great for kitbashing characters etc.
>>
>>48273417
Do you want to play with unappreciated shit smearers who are chaos cannon fodder and nothing more, and lost even that position to skaven? Or do you want to play with awesome orcs who are so metal they beat their armor into shape with their fists and absolutely smash anything that gets in their way?
>>
>>48273336
GBS gives all beastmen an extra 3" of movement. That's why you take them, not for their signature spell.
>>
>>48273321
It's ridiculous how much better stuff looks on rounds. Been slowly rebasing my dark elves and side-by-side the ones still of squares just look odd.

Aelves have already been broken down into various factions in GA:Order so you can expect them to either build up those factions (like they did with Sylvaneth) or create entirely new factions with new models. I don't expect that any of the current models will be changing factions ever again.

There isn't much. They have been broken down into a dozen factions and are spread across all the mortal realms, but primarily living in Azyr as refugees since the Age of Chaos.

Malerion is doing... something in the realm of Shadow. Morathi is there and apparently has "shadow demons" with her. We're not sure what they are up to exactly, but we do know that nobody that has gone to the Realm of Shadow has come back.

Tyrion and Teclis have captured Slaneesh and are keeping zir captive somewhere.

Fun fact: Malerion is capable of beating Archaon in single combat.

It might also be, because buying a kit gets you as much points as a victory, so obviously treekin will rek everything.

>>48274960
There are 3 options:

Oldblood on Carnosaur
Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur
Troglodon + enough bits leftover for Oldblood on foot

Troglodon has a very niche usage so you should definitely build it as a Carnosaur.

Oldblood on Carnosaur is more offensive while the Scar-Veteran is more defensive. Both are good in their own way, but overall the Oldblood is generally more useful in a wider variety of armies.

You should buy 3 Starter boxes and build all 3

No, he isn't. Malerion defeated Archaon in a battle, not single combat.

So, here's a breakdown right now.

In Greywater Fastness, Order has a very large majority, with Chaos and Destruction roughly equal, Death is the smallest.

In Phoenicium, Order also has a large majority, with Chaos being the obvious second, and Death and Destruction are roughly equal.

In the Living City, Order is again holding strong, with Destruction pressing in hard in second. Chaos is small here and Death is non-existent.

I hope this looks like a siege, with the Order holding early on while slowly being worn down over the month.

Oh shit, Chaos just surged in the Living City, it's now the same as Destruction.

>>
>>48275302
Since you report the winner to whoever takes care of the points in the store you just tell him what allegiance gets the point. If you play some sort of team game you can tell him that order and death won and he can give one point to order and one to death. Or not if he thinks team matches shouldn't be part of the summer campaign.

>>48275353
Age of Sigmar has infinitely large worlds and promotes a "Your Dudes" kind of fluff.

It's pretty obvious Order was going to win everything from the start. GW probably already has the story written and sent to the printers.

It's all because of the sylvaneth release. Sylvaneth are fighting for order in ghyran.

Next summer campaign, if GW wants someone else to take the lead, they will probably do something like rerelease tomb kings so death will be on top or something.

Serisously, this may have teh opposite effect GW is expecting in the long run. If Order absolutely dominates everywhere accross the board, then it will be rather discouraging, even for some Order players.

It will make the next campaign rather dull because everyone already knows Order will win. Sure a few Order players may switch and dust off their other faction to keep things interesting, but for the most part most people will keep with their originals.

so I've been giving it some thought on how to best use the Celestant Prime

I think you have to build a list around him but that list isn't necessarily super restrictive, it is quite defensive though. Thankfully that's the Stormcast specialty

The Celestant needs to come in on round 3 if you can afford to. Even without an azyros he can come in within 9" of the enemy and only needs to roll a 6 on his charge roll to get in pile in range. Thankfully he has his bullshit die change mechanic so he will always get the charge, although hopefully you can save the die roll change for an actual attack.

With a lord celestant on foot, he'll do approximately 10.4 unsaved wounds against a 3+ armor model on turn 3, plus whatever he rolls for his comet.

The fact that the hammer hits aren't mortal wounds is actually a blessing in disguise as Archaon and Nagash will only have a 6+ save against the -3 Rend and are denied their potent anti Mortal Wound saves.

The magic here is that the Prime has to be the second hit in a one two punch combo. 10.5 unsaved wounds against Archaon (8.33 if your Celestant on foot ate shit) isn't going to kill him on its own.

Combining it with the Stormcasts other bullshit maneuver of a Vexillor with a Pennant teleporting 10 Retributors into melee definitely will though.

But first you'll have to survive until turn 3. A Castellant is nearly mandatory for this list. I'm still thinking of the optimal army for carrying a Celestant prime but I'm not sure if I would ever use him in games under 2k
>>

>Archaon was more myth than man, and more a force of nature than an enemy to be fought. His servants were legion and his aims simple: the complete and utter subjugation of the Mortal Realms in the name of the Ruinous Powers.

>But the Ruinous Powers already had dominion here. It had been theirs for centuries. And what good had it done them? What good was absolute control, without an enemy to test yourself against? Archaon was a raging fire that would devour everything and snuff itself in the process.

>>48275939
>WWII
>Germany, Italy, Japan all in "axis powers"
It's like saying Japan fights for hitler or something, you can be on the same side and not fight for the same person. It's just GW trying to make this a "not-horus vs not-emperror" thing thats making people act so retarded. Sylvaneth are order, do they fight for Sigmar? Fuck no!
>>
Thinking of running an army of zombies with the ghost units, I'll use the zombies to tie up units and then use the hexwraiths to go and shred weakened units, the spirit hosts will probably be used to shred down beefy units because of the mortal wounds on a 6.
What do you guys think? I'm not too sure what to add or change about this, maybe it's just a terrible idea overall?
>>
Chaos is doing a pretty hefty push on Phoenicium, wouldn't be surprised if it falls.
>>
>>48274353
The difference being that 40k is big enough to survive despite not being supported.

Also Death is nowhere to be seen in the battle for the "Living City", not sure if ironic.

Ah crap, I forgot that you need to be within 1/2" of an enemy model at the end of your charge. What a waste.

But Dark Elves are Order. How are you going to report for Death?
>>
>>48276685
Talked to the manager at my local GW, you can fight for different factions. He also asked me to fight something else than Order or Chaos, because we have so much Order and Chaos players.
>>
>>48275867
You laugh, but one of the Sylvaneth Households actually DO make their weapons out of Ur-Gold.

I also find it funny that they don't have a single battalion that lets them use Wanderer units (other than the generic "Order Wizard" one), but they DO have one that specifically lets them take two units of dwarfs.
>>
>>48276685
My local redshirt just recored me as Skaven and lets me choose where my points go whenever I am reporting. Maybe theirs did the same?

I honestly feel sorry for the people who still hate AoS and just want to play Fantasy. Their whole world got wrecked, they can't buy their models anymore, nor bases for thrid party models and to make it all worse GW does this really awesome AoS event, showing the system really good support. Wonder if Fantasy would have flourished again if they showed it the same kind of attention.

Only the Greenskins Battalion Box, so nothing too heartbreaking. Managed to pick up a Bretonnian and Skaven battalion box though before they stopped being sold, so that's a win-win.

I'm hoping things take a turn against Order in the Greywater Fastness, my Skaven are untouched and I don't want to be fighting a downhill battle with the Brets.

Honestly, I'm a 6'th edition fag and I hated 8'th edition. I would like to play Kings of War, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of local players around for that.

However, I rather play Age of Sigmar than 8'th edition WHFB, so after being resentful about about the death of WHFB for a year I'm willing to get invested in AoS. The Sylvaneth actually look pretty slick and I like the fact that I don't have to get a bunch of elves.
>>
>>48276569
You forgot the Dinosaurs
>>
>>48276987
The US one maybe. The UK/Rest one could change too. It's not overwhelmingly Order like the US/Can one.
>>
>>48276946
Tbh I think it would be quite enjoyable to be a D&D player here, it's only when you're the minority where you can really feel your effects.

Winning as a Stormcast army is just another point to the (seemingly) landslide they have going, but winning as the Deathrattlers adds a point to the place of the little guy who needs everything he can get, makes your victories far more meaningful.
>>
>>48276982
That used to be the case prior to Black Library and the End Times. It was the best Nagash because all you would know about him outside his desire to rule and to never die was that he was sinister. Making his tantrums and childish bullshit a part of his character just sucks all the appeal out him.
>>
Any ideas on what to count this as if I make it into a chaos dwarf steam golem? Thinking of just replacing the mechanical bits with parts from the iron demon like a smokestack and boiler. Could this work well? Thinking of using it as a demon prince.

For every single Fantasy release during 8th, 40k would get 3. That is the support he is talking about.
>>
>>48277060
Elves are scrawny and weak and have trouble procreating, not good slaves.
>>
>>48277036
Don't know about the size but demon prince or greater demon seem like the way to go. Or some hero, I don't know about chaos dorfs though.
BUT that will be a whole lot of money for a steam golem. I mean still a neat centerpiece, but it will vanish between all the other big guys running around in AoS.
Also a heavily converted warmachine mech could be better as a base model, aren't some of them made of plastic? Or one of the bigger reaper bones models and slap some wire, cogs and stuff on it. A steam Cthulhu would be dope.
OR go full retard and put the upper body of this guy on one of the 40k chaos dinosaurs. Enjoy your shaggoth /bull centaur.

Anybody using doomfire warlocks? i have 15, should i continue using them as a single unit or divide them on groups?

I just looked through the General's Handbook and dont see points for Bretonians. Did they not get points? I'm only surprised because I thought the GW facebook page had said they were going to... or someone had. Am I crazy? Am I fool for clinging to my faith in The Lady?!

They're further in the book, not under Order.

You're just blind.
>>
>>48277135
It's on a 60mm base so it's kinda small, and I'd be getting it second hand so it would be like 20 for it plus 40 more for iron demon parts. I'm not sure what reaper models you're talking about but my shophone wouldn't allow non gw models. Which 40k chaos Dino do you mean? That sounds like a cool idea but I don't think there are very many horse-like robots in 40k around that size.

Talking about reaper bones stuff. It's the cheapest material, and can be a bitch to work with, but I'd say it's easier to convert than resin. Also if you fuck up it didn't cost that much. But if you don't want to go non GW forget it. Also it would need really heavy conversion, as they have a generic fantasy aesthetic.
What I'm talking was about is the forgefiend/maulerfiend. He'd probably fit into a a Chaosdwarf army without any conversion. It probably fits fantasy better than 40k, but it's not a bad model. Pic related is the melee version. The ranged one has two gattlings/plasma cannons for arms.
Also another advice, if you want to give anything a more organic/demonic touch, get a box of the chaos spawns. They are great even you put the whole sprues into your bitzbox, without building any spawns. One of the best still remaining, fully modular GW kits imo (maybe it's the only one by now ?).

You could update the $200 army deals to include the start collecting boxes though.

So? It can't move far away which sucks for an army so reliant on its teleporting and the summoning of new units is exactly as restricted as any other summoning.
>>
>>48277567


Because it costs 80 points for free refills on my retributors, taking a Castellant and two liberators isn't exactly a burden either.

It doesn't really matter that it won't always be optimal when it's competing price options are a Relictor or two Demigryphs

'sup guys. Currently mustering my stormhost for the defense of Phoenicium. Lucky that the Radiant Gallants are specialized in city-fighting, huh?

More seriously, I'm just now tooling around with my list for the weekend, and I'm a little uncertain how to proceed.

Here's the basic idea:

Radiant Gallants Strike Force (Order allegiance)

Lord-Celestant (Reckless, Relic Blade) - 100
Liberators (5; swords&shields, grandsword) - 100
Liberators (5; hammers&shields, grandhammer) - 100
Decimators (5) - 200
Protectors (5) - 200
Judicators (5; crossbows, shockbolt) - 160
Judicators (5; crossbows, shockbolt) - 160
Skyborne Slayers - 140

Retributors (5; 2 starsouls) - 220
Retributors (5; 2 starsouls) - 220
Prosecutors (3; hammers&shields, grandhammer) - 100
Hammerstrike Force - 120

Now, that leaves me with 200pts left over. But what to take? Maybe this:

Knight-Venator (Phoenix Stone) - 120
Prosecutors (3; javelins&shield, trident) - 80

It would reinforce the whole theme of swift intervention force calling in reinforcments from on high. Downside is that I'd need to paint three just basecoated Prosecutors in a hurry.
Other options would include upgrading the Liberators to ten men each or adding another five Protectors.
Opinions, thoughts or ideas?

>>
>>48277763
Maybe add three Prosecutors to the unit you already have and take a Castellant. Or toss the Hammerstrike force, combine the two Retributor units and take a Vexillor, then take a Castellant from the leftover points.

Because let's be honest here, the Hammerstrike Force is just not that great when you can simply take a Vexillor and teleport the Retributors without worrying about where you place the Prosecutors.

And since they can zip across the field, they still fit your theme.
>>
>>48277874
>Necrons on square bases
Man that would look cool. Sure the first template would shred your whole block of Warriors, but it'd look cool while it lasts.

>>48277925
While I love the Lords-Castellant, they're just too slow for this force. By the time he's have hustled across the table the fighting will ideally already be winding down.
I've been considering taking a Knight-Vexillor, which would save me 20pts, but leave me with a single guy that just sits about uselessly, while the Prosecutors at least could contribute a little, notorious pillow-fisted-ness aside.

Nigga it's the first day.
>>
>>48278580
They time releases like this as an attempt to coreograph the events, it doesn't always work
>>
>>48278558
In my experiences most of the Warhammer IP novels are baddly written and predictable. In particularly the Horus Heresy books for telling an unironic soap opera about a bunch of demigod manchildren with projected daddy issues instead of accepting that the primarchs were very silly.
>>
>>48278439
Look at the following formation:

10 Liberators with shields + 10 Liberators with shields
5 Protectors + Lord-Castellant + Lord-Castellant + 5 Protectors
5 Judicators with bows + 5 Judicators with bows
5 Judicators with bows + 5 Judicators with bows

Rank them up in this way, with the extra Liberators guarding the brick's flanks in a L shape. Stick a Celestant-Prime in the middle and a Gryph-hound on each side of the Judicators. If possible, put the whole lot into terrain.
Shine your lanterns on each Liberator unit for at least a 3+, rerolling 1s, with a heal on top; everything behind them benefits from the -1 to hit provided by the Protectors.
Now put pressure on your opponent thanks to the excellent range of your bows and the prime's nuke. Never move. If he doesn't engage your massed shots and the comets will chew him apart, but in melee he has to engage the super-tough Liberators, with the Protectors safely contributing savagely from behind, while your gunline continues to fuck up his forces. Meanwhile, the Gryphhounds warn you from deepstrikers and similar shenanigans.
>>
>>48277266
the start collecting would be good to remove when all the start collecting get released, but there are a lot who are not released yet
>>
>>48278682


I mean yeah they're (the actual definition) pulp fiction but they're enjoyable if you read them knowing what they are.

Except Horus heresy and pretty much all 40k stuff after 2006.

WHFB stuff tended to be pretty good in all honesty.

Am i the only one dissapointed that they didn't release a character card of the branchwych/wraith for the silver tower?

Kind of a shame really because it could be a cool way to keep silver tower relevant until the next expansion (just release a character card for each new clampack.)

It would've been nice if they'd released a major character for each of the four factions before this event, so that Order wouldn't just fucking stomp everything on the back of Sylvaneth release.
>>
Little help?

My girlfriend is interested in the death faction but hates swarms and summoning. Is there anything she can do or do those basically define the faction?
>>
>>48279166
Yeah, because all the models of Archaon, Gordrakk and Nagash have spontaneously disappeared into the great big void.
>>
>>48279240
Do deathlords and flesh eater courts. Lot's of big undead monsters. Do a monster mash list.
>>
>>48279379
Also i just noticed this, but if she goes pure deathlords, morghast archai and morghast harbingers are battleline units.

So you could have an entire legal army of nothing bug big undead flying monsters, using mortarchs and morghasts. IT would be pretty terrifying if you ask me.
>>
how necessary are judicators overall?
>>
>>48279240
Depends on how much she wants to limit herself. A pure Deathrattle army could use Black Knights as Battleline, who are pretty smashy, all things considered. A pure Deathlords army can get her 1000 points with just 5 models (4 Morghasts and Mannfred).
>>
>>48279411

You lose the amazing 6/5+ FNP from the death allegiance though. Just take your core tax of zombies (or upgrade to chariots/skeleton horsemen) and then spam your nightmarish bone golems.
>>
>>48279439
If you want to limit yourself to Stormcasts only, then very necessary, either to snipe key targets with bows or to provide fire support for Liberators with crossbows.
If you don't want to limit yourself to SE (which has NO bonus currently), you can just add a bunch of Freeguild Handgunners and have done.
>>
>>48279509


Fug

Do I need a whole 10 or can I get away with 5?
>>
>>48279245
Emphasis on the new. If you're an undead player you already own Nagash, etc. If you own nuArchaon I don't know what you're doing with your life. Gordrakk is a fair point to make, though.
>>
>>48279540
5 are okay, but you might want to add another unit of 5 soon. Btw, NEVER play them in bigger units than min size if you use Bows, because the special weapon bow is so infinitely more reliable in the Prime's hand.
If you take crossbows you can get away with units of 10, but even then 5 is alright. Might also want to give them the special bow instead of the special crossbow, because no matter how shit that looks, it's infinitely better.
>>
>>48279634


Hmm okay.

Should I take liberators in 10s (if I'm not just paying the battle line tax)? Let's me spread my Castellant buff and arcane shield to more guys
>>
>>48279649
Liberators are ok, but not as necessary in bigger groups. 5 libs is good because the prime takes the grandhammer or grandblade and he is really good with it, then the rest have shields for survivability of the unit.

Liberators are only good in big units if you plan on having them with shields supported by a lord-castellant for his lantern. Otherwise just do min squads for the battleline and they provide some utilty. There are a few decent formations with them too where even then it's not necessary to go big
>>
>>48279649
Exactly that. I'd say if you prefer crossbows, take a bunker of 10 Liberators with a Castellant to babysit them and the Judicators right behind. If you prefer bows, use all the godly Battalions and pay all their Liberator-taxes with min-size units and just have the Judicators stand back and do their thing. If all goes well, your opponent will be so distracted with all your teleports he can't spare the attention to hunt down the 5 bowmen 24" away.
>>
>>48279634
Listen to this man, for he speaks the truth. Also, bows>crossbows in nearly all situations. It's why my guys are now rocking harpoon guns after I realized my mistake.

>>48279649
I like 'em in batches of 10s. 5 is okay if you need the points elsewhere, but if you want to anvil it up a lot the added dudes improve coverage significantly.
>>
>>48279634


How do Prosecutors of either variety stack up to judicators?
You get 6 javelin prosecutors for the same cost as 5 judicators, so it's an interesting price point
>>
>>48279754
Prosecutors are ...ehh. Hammerers are notorious for being very pillow-fisted and getting beated to death by artillery crew, Javelins have weird operational ranges and suffer from a very low volume of shots.
>>
>>48279754
Now that you mention it... I mean javelin prosecs are horseshit, but they are priced so low they might actually be worth it. 7 shots with 2 damage each isn't that bad and they are tougher and faster.

I think the main problem with using javelin-Prosecutors instead of Judicators is that 5 Judicators are cheaper money-wise than 3 Prosecutors, never mind 6.

Hammer-Prosecutors are actually pretty decent if you play them in numbers, which again is expensive money-wise.
>>
>>48279828


Well I managed to get three starter sets for a pittance so running hammerbros isn't too hard. Definitely wouldn't spend $120 on 6 fucking prosecutors
>>
>>48279828

I think the saving grace for hammer prosecutors is that RAW they can reroll 1's to hit with their ranged attacks if they have double hammers
>>
>>48279890
I'm pretty sure it's meant that way though.
