So, the talk on the elvish gods in the last thread made me wonder.

What happens if an elf worships Morrow or Thamar? Do they still go to the Veld instead of Morrow/Thamar's domain after they die? Can they be an Ascendant? Can they get divine magic from them? Neither Morrow or Thamar seem like to the type to discriminate based on race.

Hell, what if, theoretically, there were humans that worshiped Scyrah? Would they as a community start experiencing the same afterlife problems as the elves?

AFAIK nothing happens if a race worships a god of a different race that doesn't historically have something to do with it.
According to the IKRPG the prerequisite to be a priest of Menoth, Morrow or Thamar you must be human. I think if you choose not to worships your race's gods you just get dumped in the wilds of Urcaen to fend for yourself.

>>52158457
Interesting.

The Heretic is fucking strong.

The Arcana are cool, but some of them are kinda easy to play around. They often make the faction very infantry-focused, as the useful ones tend to trigger when a warrior model is hit and confer upon them the most benefits.

Their beasts are honestly kinda meh, which makes Arcane like The Child's and The King of Nothing's sort of Skornergetic.
>>
>>52157578
>According to the IKRPG the prerequisite to be a priest of Menoth, Morrow or Thamar you must be human
You don't think this is just because those are literally human gods (two of whom were actual humans before ascending)?

I don't think there is some kind of cosmological prohibition on worshiping the god of another species, there's just no benefit to doing so, because the gods only care about creatures they created.

For the purpose of the RPG, it's a rule because, while an elf priest of menoth isn't strictly impossible, it is DEEP in special snowflake territory.
>>
>>52158457
Their rules are pretty interesting. Still pretty sure I hate them from high-concept / model design standpoint, but the actual rules and execution are good.

They're so far outside the established paradigm that it is really hard to get a grip on whether they're actually competitive or not. They have some good tricks, but no one caster that's really going to blow things up. King of Nothing probably comes the closest, being a reclaimer-style control caster.

For tourney play, I think they may end up just being a novelty, but some casual players might find a breath of fresh air with them.

If that approach alone was enough to make a faction competitive, Cryx players would have nothing to complain about. The dreadrots skew the INTERNAL balance of the faction pretty hard, but by themselves they won't see you to top tables at a major event.

And before someone says "But... but.. muh banes aren't 12 points WAAHHH", I know that. Nor should they be.. bane thralls still hit far harder. The point is that "jam 50 or 60 hard hitting infantry down the opponent's throat" is Cryx's patented style, and even after being nerfed they are still good at it... and it's just not enough, not against top level competition.

Running a list with 60 dreadrots looks a heck of a lot like running a list with 60 mechanithralls. If your opponent doesn't have the volume of attacks to deal with it, you'll roll over them. If they do (or if they have a hard counter like scathers or mass covering fire), you're out of luck.

Do you mean Chiron and Morghoul3?
>>
Anyone got a good sheet for IKRPG?
>>
>>52160985

Comparing stuff across factions is retarded, but even if you do, it's obvious as to why Dreadrots are just straight up better than either Banes or Mechthralls. They're much cheaper than banes and hit much harder than McThralls. Hell, in Bump in the Night they net you so many free points that they end up being as cheap as McThralls. This puts them in the sweet spot of "cheap and spammable" and "hit hard enough to damage heavies". You can't spam Banes because they're expensive and restricted by an FA, and McThralls can be spammed but they don't do shit all anyway.

This is all ignoring the extra utility Dreadrots bring:
>provide corpses to other models in the faction by either dying or killing things
>ignore Tough and RFP with their attacks

Grymkin also has a much easier time delivering them with shit like denial Arcana, King of Nothing cloud wall, Wanderers Starcrossed and Fog of War, and Dreamer's Artifice of Deviation.

The good:
- This is a really good list for a night of chips and beer with some buddies.
- Everything (except for the doomreavers) in that list likes having Tactical Supremacy
- The Manhunter and the Doomreavers both GREATLY appreciate your caster's feat

The bad:
- Battle Mechanics are overpaid. You don't need a max a unit and you don't need the officer, especially if you only have two things they can repair.
- Winter Guard wants Rocketeers and Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich. Without, they will underperform
- Your shooting infantry units don't get a whole lot out of Kozlov. You certainly want a range option no doubt, but you should pick between the two. Running a third melee unit (or better, a Jack) to put Fury on and giving them +2 speed would be appreciated.
- Kodiaks like to operate in pairs. You usually either run 2+ or none at all.
- Kayazy Assassins are a fine unit, but they operate better with a caster who can make them blast immune. Not a total grip in the toilet, but a sup-par choice.
- You only have the Doom Reavers for reliable Armor Cracking. Both of your jacks are quite pillow fisted at POW 16 and you only have two of them.

Then there's some stuff that can use tuning (for example Manhunters are worse than kayazy Eliminators in terms of power level and Kozlov would like Sylys around for help with his MANY upkeep spells, rather than a Dog)

Running out of words. If you want some simple fixes:

Option 1: Ditch the Rifle Corps for a Juggernaut and transform the Mechanics into a min-unit without the officer. For those 5 points, you can add a second Manhunter or Kayazy Eliminators.

Option 2: Replace the Widowmakers and Marksman with a second Kodiak and replace the Mechanic Officer, the Manhunter and the Dog with Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich and 3 Winter Guard Rocketeer attachments.

Option 3: Really easy, assuming you have the Khador Battlebox. Just play what you see in the picture.

I loved this game

Once.

Now to see it suffering and dying slowly; desperately. Its nearly too much.

I got into warmachine just as Mk2 launched and when I first moved into my college dorm, I cant believe its been so long.

Its like seeing your dog dying.
>>
>>52160985
I think one of the issues with Dreadrots is they can come with a caster who cloudwalls very effectively and does weird shit when they die. That being said, their personal stats are pretty garbage even being backed up by a Battle engine defensively, so time will tell. A lot of the faction seems to be based around denial and rules-stacking because the baseline unit and warbeast stats are pretty underwhelming (I'm looking at you, Skin-And-Moans).
>>
As a note on that, between an extensive focus on spamming marginally-stated but hard hitting infantry and casters with great spell lists Grymkin feels like what Mk3 Cryx wanted to be but didn't manage in my opinion.
>>
>>52163186
>>52163404
Thanks for the advice man, this really helps.

I Wanted to take the Kodiak just to drop the clouds for defending melee advances. I figured one was enough, but i could definitely pick up a second, I can see how having two would be better than a single.

I really like the rifle corps, so i think i'll pick up a kovnik joe and some rocketeers.

I decided to try out the second option, hopefully it'll perform better than what i was trying to do.

>tfw one of the local Khador players has the surname Gligorovich

>>52163742
The problem with the one 4" cloud is that it doesn't block all that much, considering the angles. Where as two clouds right next to each other, hide 8" worth of models. Not worthless by any means, just inefficient.

I personally am not a fan of Kodiaks for Kozlov in the first place. Since they bring native pathfinder and Kozlov is going to give his battlegroup Pathfinder anyway, I prefer to just going with beefy beatsticks. My rule for casters is usually: Do they give pathfinder easily? Yes: Juggernaut, No: Kodiak.

But that really is nothing but simple preference, because I don't like to "waste" rules text, if that makes any sense. For the same reason, I don't bring Clamjacks with Kozlov either, since they are already immune to knockdown anyway (but they are really happy about Pathfinder, so that's that)

Doom Reavers aren't the most competitive thing Khador can run at the moment, but thanks to Kozlov's Feat, you will certainly be able to make them work well enough.

Let me remind you that cryx was undisputed master of competitive for 2/3rds of the games lifetime. People just got used to playing against undead cryxian hobos that everybody tailored their strategies and lists in order to deal with cryx. Such gems like people laughing at the ending of vengeance where striker2 assassinated Terminus, something near impossible to do against a competent cryx player back in MK2.

>can construct high tier lists

if by easily you mean "choose one of two good casters left in the faction" then yes, it is easy. For those of us who don't want to play witch coven, we have to deal with having a stable of pretty mediocre casters. If our infantry (and jacks) didn't depend on our casters so much, it'd be neat.

I don't want to go back to MK 2 power level. I just want more interesting options. I'm not super into Satyxis, and that's the only infantry you can play in this faction, because they're reasonably priced and stand up on their own without too much support. I want the undead units to be viable.

It also sucks to have to fight a gunline that can deal with stealth and clouds (all of them where I play). Having a faction that does not play well into shooting when the meta is such that shooting is top-tier is pretty awful. This is why Witch Coven is so powerful right now, they are an anti-gunline caster.

If you look at tournaments where you can see the lists, Cryx players who placed have pretty similar cookie-cutter lists where the same few casters/models show up. Outside of that, the faction's not great. I would agree though- better than MKII minions. Though I'd disagree with MK II Khador, especially towards the end of MK II.

Wouldn't you rather be in a place of balance where nobody has to be at the bottom? I don't like seeing any faction having balance issues. I always thought Butcher 3 was the hero Khador needed, and Ruin was (and is) pretty damn awesome.

I saw Khador at MK 2 tournaments a LOT where I played, and they did well, though I would say they did have an over-reliance on mercenaries (a lot like Cygnar).

I would jump ship and play my Cephalyx (or any other faction that's more interesting) full-time, but Warmachine has all but dried up where I play. Mk 3 seems to have been one heck of a turd.
>>
>>52170632
>If you look at tournaments where you can see the lists, Cryx players who placed have pretty similar cookie-cutter lists where the same few casters/models show

To be honest, this is how all armies look at the competitive level.

For example, Ret. In the new edition they have plenty of options, right? But when you face a Ret player in a tournament, there's a 90% chance you'll be facing off against Ossyan or Issyria, or maybe Elara if they're one of a the few that have her. And they'll be running Sentinels or Invictors, probably both, because why the fuck not? They'll have three Arcanists and Sylys, and a MHA or two. Imperatus will be there.

>Guys I know Zaal1 with triple Karax and Sentries didn't get touched by the errata when we weren't considered close to competitive, but really, I swear it's a good list now!

>>52170819

I'll admit- as a Cryx player, I have more reason to be salty about MK 3 than most. I do think the factions are closer in power overall. MK 2 top tier factions vs MK 2 minions wasn't even a game.

But like I said, ever since MK 3 dropped and people had time to read the rules, a lot of players have dropped their stuff and moved on.

Not just Cryx players, though I'm one of the only Cryx players still left.

I think MK 3 failed to deliver on a few promises that people thought were essential. It is kind of insulting that they insist it was playtested for as long as it was.


>>52170796

I know that tournament level play can get a bit same-y, but I think specifically with Cryx it's worse now than ever before. I saw a wide array of caster choices and model choices in MK 2 because everything was good.

I do think it's funny though that PP mentioned wanting to reduce the number of auto-include models in factions (and used it as a justification for nerfing Skorne beast handlers), and ended up creating more (or at least keeping the number stable).

>>52170887

>I do think it's funny though that PP mentioned wanting to reduce the number of auto-include models in factions (and used it as a justification for nerfing Skorne beast handlers), and ended up creating more (or at least keeping the number stable).

What's annoying is this only requires very small fixes.

For example, Banes. They don't need Weaponmaster back. They actually function fine as killers of small to large based infantry, rather than the tactical nukes they were in MKII. They just need to a cheaper, FFS. Just a little cheaper.

For the aforementioned problem of Sentinels overshadowing stuff in Ret? Well, they just need to give MHI a bit more punch and a more prominent role. Give them a mini-feat that extends their threat or allows them to work around things that Sents can't. Give them a distinct place.
>>
>>52170820
Which is kind of a shame, because Ragnor is super cool.
>>
>>52170978

I feel like Banes are without a place right now. I think that place is support- second line infantry that take out heavies after your first jamming wave hits. They are expensive infantry that hit really hard and have super pathfinder , but have mediocre defensive stats and die to pow 10 shooting, with no way to change that. Their UA gives tough and a mini feat that encourages going after infantry. They could certainly do with a reduction in price. Especially compared to the spookytown pumpkin heads, 12 points for weaponmaster tough infantry vs 23 points. I don't think banes would be fair at 12 points, but I think 17 for the base unit is too much considering what they do now (and how they lost stealth).

I would bet good money that instead of changing other things, PP would nerf sentinels. They did it with Trolls and the Warders.

I think small fixes are easier with a unit that's bad vs a unit that's too good. Nobody likes nerfs, but buffing other things to being them up to the power level of a powerful thing is a dangerous precedent.

If they could nerf/sidegrade sentinels in a way that they retained their use, but did it differently (and still well) it could also be a thing.
>>
>>52170854
Man, I always ran Kreoss2 and Exemplars. Glad the faction is doing well overall, though. I love me some religious zealotry in my make believe army men factions.
>>
>>52171116
I dunno, the problem with Sentinels isn't that they're straight up overpowered, but that Ret's other offensive melee infantry don't do anything in particular.

Halberdiers are still taken for their defensive stats and jamming capability. They do something very, very different from Sents, so they see use. But MHI are sort of blah in that they don't really have an area of expertise - they're essentially a vanilla melee unit with Stealth. Ellowuyr Swordsmen are theoretically good at clearing single wound infantry, but the current meta is against them, what with all the blasts and tough shit.
>>
>>52170854
>Exemplars are bad meme
KE and Vengers definitely see use. If you mean Basions & Cinerators, sure, but there's not really much heavy infantry going around. Even MoW, which kept 8 wounds are more for friendly than serious games.
Errants aren't bad, it's just that Idrians do everything they do, but better.

>>52171207
You're probably better off with Vindictus than Kreoss2 now, but Knights Exemplar are still pretty dope

Yeah that. Though I still need to be convinced of the quality of Errants. They just lost so much and their rules don't really make sense anymore.
>>
>>52171228
Melee infantry are a lot more narrow in use now. It's often Jamming unit or Heavy Hitting unit. That does leave MHI and the swordsmen in an awkward spot. Maybe as the meta changes they'll see more use.

Can someone please link me the Steamroller 2017 scenario that people playtested with?
>>
>>52171864
It's called Saturn. There's a round zone dead center and two rectangular zones on the center line with their short edges touching the circle. Also there's a 10" kill box.

Circle can be held by warriors for 1p, rectangles by jacks/beasts/engines/monstrosities/etc. for 1p- Casters can score 1p on any of them (even multiples).
>>
>>52171320
Well, the Swordsmen appear to be getting a UA at release, so we'll see what that adds.

MHI need a UA that makes them a legit assassination threat, since that's what they're supposed to be.
>>
>>52171926
Can you score from having a unit and a caster in the same zone for 2 points?
>>
>>52172346
That's not clear at this point but I'd think not.

I'd consider something like either Horseshade in ghostfleet if you have the models, something like this:

Composition is pretty flexible just remembering that Breathstealer + Mortal Fer is effectively +4 Armour and Hordes tends to be Mat 6 so love dealing with Starcrossed. Cheap-ish heavies to taste and witches for attack volume and utility.
>>
>>52172092
I feel like MHSF benefit much more from Eiryss 3 than MHI. A UA that's exclusively for them would be hella awesome.

Swordsmen would be cool to see a UA that adds some flexibility. As a Cryx player, I would LOVE to have swordsmen. High defense vs shooting that's not Satyxis raiders. I like the stat block, but I'm not attached to satyxis themselves. I'm in it for the undead. Plus any model with chain-whips is infuriating to build.

You might want to check the tournament wins especially towards the end of MK2, don't be too disappointed though when you realize that Cryx didn't win as much as butthurt shitty players make it to be.

Going against anti-Cryx/Infantry lists at tournament level was fucking brutal, those victories were not as free for Cryx as many players wan't to think. MK2 Cryx strong? Yes. MK2 Cryx autowin? No.
>>
>>52174607
It should really tell you something when everyone and their mum is forced to tailor at least one list to Cryx specifically, and Cryx still does pretty well.

I mean, sure, people built lists specifically to counter Cryx. That doesn't mean Cryx wasn't horrifically overpowered. Playing against Cryx as one of the lower tier factions in MKII wasn't even a real game.

honestly, I'm pretty ok with the Grymkin having slightly better than average costed models since those models are probably all they will ever get.

Speaking of Weapon Master (and Dread Rots), does anyone else hate how abstracted it's become?

Like, it's supposed to represent a skilled fighter getting the most out of their weapon, but at this point it mostly appears on units that just have big swords. Whereas the units that are thematically highly skilled weaponmasters don't have it because it, ironically, wouldn't suit their crunch role.

One of the most ridiculous examples is stuff like Dawnguard Sentinels having Weapon Master, whereas Ellowuyr Swordsmen, whose entire fluff is that they are unmatched weaponmaster sword autists who devote their entire lives to martial mastery, don't.

The communities that existed for these games are absorbing Warmachine players.

There actually aren't any outside of a tiny number of casters who promote spam that you likely won't know how to play around.

For all intents and purposes, the game is balanced and has no real issues.

>GW are reversing course.

Sort of. They're going back to better business practices and making things fans want.

Their games are still horrendously bad. AoS is a joke, both fluff and crunch, and 40K is so tremendously unbalanced it would take years of releases to unfuck things.
>>
>>52177197
Promised a more refined rule set and the opposite was true
Faction balance is a mess. Most factions have 1/2 units and all other units are worthless.
Most competitive factions are being held up by 1-2 broken casters and everything else is borderline unplayable.
The release schedule is a mess, a year in they have completely changed their release schedule.

>>52177197

>>52177411
You're likely a Ret player. Ret infantry is the best in the game and has clearly defined positions that they work in. Ret is pretty much exactly where every other faction should be but aren't.

If every faction had Ret's balance it would be the best game on the market hands down. As it is? It's a complete mess.

I've started playing MtG again and have also been dusting off my old Infinity models. I have basically no interest in playing WM/H anymore. It has been like one, long, slow, agonizing trainwreck since Mark III dropped.

Storm Lancers are great. If you think nothing else has a place, depending on 'caster, you are an exceptionally bad player.

>>52178071
Cool, what were you playing? Also, there's nothing saying that you can't make a fluffy list that's strong.
>>
>>52177992
It's not busted at a high level of play. That's why on tournaments and in high-level play you see a wide variety of factions and even a decent variety of list.

The problem is the low-level. In Mk2, bane spam killed newbs and people getting into the game. Vets and people who'd played through knew how to bring lists to mitigate those problems and what to do, but if you were someone getting into the game with one list trying to learn how to play you'd be repeatedly stomped by the same army every time. Even in the high levels of play, it was a common practice to bring an all-comers list... And an anti-Cryx list.

Now in Mk. 3 Storm lances are running people off the board easily. It's a single purchase that can go into any list and can beat any list that isn't prepared for them. Even outside of that, things like Hunter spam are shitty tactics - But you can still assassinate someone who isn't prepared and who doesn't know how to properly screen their troops before they even get to move.

PP's shitty balance is affecting new players, not the veterans or the people who really study the game's mechanics. Many armies only function properly once you've gotten deep into the game and others can stomp at low-levels of play easily without ready counters built in.

I filled the list out with stuff that seems fluffy (Widowmakers and Manhunter go along well with Woodsmen and the Great Bears aesthetically connect the Pikemen and the wildlings) and a random Gobber Tinker. (Not having any 2 point models is rough)

The scenario we played was super cool too (see picture). The Retribution player took the role of the defender, trying to get the messenger to the dead drop. The game came down to the Marksman hitting Eiryss in a forest with a lucky 11 and rolling high enough to kill her, after wearing all solos in the elven army.

I'm looking at stuff like Sorscha with Beast-09, a Kodiak, of course Widowmakers and the Marksman. Are there any other units I should go for?

It's really just kitchen table magic with pals. WotC is a shit company, there's no denying that. Magic is attractive because it's cheaper (only when just fucking around. Obviously the sky is the limit for price, but it can be as cheap as you want it to be as well) and way less of a time sink/hassle than miniatures in general. No table to set up, no minis to cart around. Just sit down and twist some cardboard with the gang. No interest in constructed, sanctioned, or competitve MtG. It's toxic and indeed a mess.

Infinity is seriously fun and refreshing, but the game and Corvus Belli aren't flawless. There are some real problems with it. It's just a fun thing to do for a while and I'm sure I'll burn out on it sooner or later.

The game PP has produced now that everything has shaken out is actually a pretty decent game, but the way PP has behaved at every step has made me like them less and less. Furthermore, while the game is finally in a decent state, the complete shit rollout of the new edition really turned me off it. I also feel the game is much more bland and boring than it used to be. Now that the bugs have been worked out it's a decent system. The balance is good. I just find the company to be full of dicks and no longer enjoy the product they're producing. It's not the same game I was drawn in by years ago and that's cool.

No reason to be so snooty.

But seriously, you can't deny that basically big "thing" so far since MK3 has been some amateur hour shit. All the lies/mistakes from the insiders leading up to it. Rulebook with all kinds of mistakes, typos, and rules that don't work.

It's a well known knowledge that Kodiaks operate in packs. Grab yourself a second one. Going all abord the Sniper Boat with Sorscha1 is without a doubt a very viable plan.

The mk3 Khador buylist is pretty much:
- (2) Kodiaks
- X Juggernauts
- X Marauders
- A Devastator
- Ruin
- Behemoth
- Good amount of Winter Guard (either unit works, but you need Rocketeers)
- Battle Mechanics
- Kayazy Eliminators.

There is caster dependent stuff too (Man-O-Wars with Officer attachment and Kovnik perform really well under Vlad2, Kozlov, Malakov2 and Irusk1)

I added a snapshot of my two best performing lists in mk3.

>>52179999

How many rocketeers are we talking per squad?
>>
>>52180329
All three. They are really good.
>>
>>52180347
>>52180218

Okay, so right now for a 50 point list, I'm looking at this:

Sorscha1
- Kodiak
- Kodiak
Widowmaker Scouts
Widowmaker Marksman
Kell Bailoch
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios
Winter Guard Rifle Corps (Leader and 9)
- 3 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeer

This leaves me with 7 points to spare. Suggestions?
>>
>>52180392
You usually don't need Winter Guard AND the Sniper package.

But if you do want to go that route anyway, grab Kovik Jozef Grigorovich (he helps them hit and block zones) and a Dog.

If you ever go up to 75, invest in Behemoth and you'll have a solid list.
>>
>>52180392
Alten Ashley is the 8th member of the Sniper squad btw. He has 14" range with his (above average) gun, pathfinder, prowl and reposition 3, meaning he is difficult to catch.

He does however, mostly work against Hordes factions, since he specializes in killing Warbeasts (and does absurd damage against them). Ashley does however have some use against Warmachine too, since he prevents repairs just for hitting.
>>
>>52180441
So what would you suggest then, if not the Winter Guard? Would Iron Fangs be any good in that list?

>>52180506
Thanks for the tip, I'll look to include him.

Synergistically, Sorscha1 tries to avoid having big infantry units around, since they easily get in the way of your feat, since it requires Line of Sight.

However, I have used Iron Fang Pikemen with her before and they are perfectly serviceable, especially if you're just getting back into the game. Also, your list could use some armor crackers and Pikemen DEFINITELY fill the bill here.

If you asked me which Pikemen, I would actually recommend you play Black Dragons instead of Pikemen. Black Dragons are a bit more expensive and capable on their own, but don't profit from Iron Fang support as much as regular Pikemen (Iron Fang Kovnik, Kovnik Markhov).

However, regular Pikemen are cheaper and you could play something like this: <----
>>
>>52180030
>They're really not that hard to deal with
They don't look it, but what exactly can you do about them? You can't put a single buff on your guys to help them survive, so you're forced to go in raw against a RAT6 POW12 ROF3 gun. Their power level is pushed to the point of being comparable to Gunbunnies. Plenty of recent lists on discountgames have a pair of Woldwyrds in because why the fuck not? As a Skorne player I just look at them and weep. You know what my equivalent has? RAT5, ROF1, self cast Snipe, and the ability to ignore stealth if it stands still. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

Satyxis are canon sluts. They even give their one-night-stands weird gifts if the D was truly savage. They need the dick more than anyone.

So for pikemen, would you take the Officer or the Kovnik? Or make room for both?

The Officer. The mini-feat is amazing and the ability to charge through terrain is very vital in this day and age.

The Kovnik lost a lot of power in the transition, being no longer able to give the Pikemen +2 Speed. He gives your Pikemen steady (which counters stuff like Kreoss1's feat or makes them old tough under Irusk2) and Precision Strike (which lets you damage any column or spiral freely, rather than rolling).

I personally think it's not worth bringing the Kovnik at all, unless you go heavy into Iron Fangs (like pic related). Which sounds cool, but should really wait until a theme force releases.
>>
>>52180881
I mean, I guess. They still don't see through stealth and are fury 2. At 9 points I wouldn't feel bad throwing a unit or budget heavy at it, or shooting it. Cannoneer would do much better against it than the wyrd could do back.
>>
>>52181434
>Cannoneer would do much better against it than the wyrd could do back
Probably owing to it costing a lot more points. I actually consider the Cannoneer a shit beast at this point. The splash is almost always irrelevant. I'd much rather go all the way up to a Mammoth, which brings its own raft of problems when you're playing against Baldur2 because THAT FUCKING WALL TEMPLATE RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bear with me, since I basically don't know anything about WMH: what is the beefiest, most resilient, braindead army to use in WMH?

To explain my question: as for general flavor, I would love a stonkin huge Winter Guard list that all FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF THE INFANTRY, but my recent experiences with Imperial Guard has shown me that I don't like the feeling of my plastic dudes just dying on me helplessly. I'd much more prefer something that is like multiwound terminators in 40k: not numerous, hard to kill, don't really need some bullshit gamey combo with psykers to work.
>>
>>52185989
>beefiest, most resilient, braindead army
Khador. Literally an armor wall that runs up to slug it out.
>>
>>52185989
Well Khador has all you are looking for.

You can spam Winterguard to great effect, but like you said, of your 60 dudes, 30 will likely die.

You can take a ton of Warjacks which are tough as fuck to crack.

There's also a Man'o'War theme force on the way so they'll probably be extremely viable then. They're almost like low-tech Terminators.

In any case: Be prepared for your stuff to die. Nothing in this game is invulnerable and the best way to protect your stuff is to play well. You will of course have trouble with that at first as this game is not easy to learn.
>>
>>52183632

Circles alright. after all the nerfs we have good stuff that isn't really broken. Only thing I don't like is how like only 2.5 of our infantry options are good. But from what I gather that's how every faction is.
>>
>>52187641
Rasheth will make even a gladitor mat 8. hitting loki on 6, feat and blood mark will make him arm 18. and he won't be able to dodge away since he has roots of the earth on him. gladiator is only 15 points. a bronze back will even decimate him even more, for 1 point less then loki.

Tiberion can put him in the ground and not even be hooked on the way in as well.

>>52185989
Khador's been mentioned a couple times. Skorne, Trolls, and Menoth can all also do the "beefy, resilient" playstyle.

That said, almost any faction *CAN* do whatever playstyle you want. Each faction has its strengths, but there's always a few casters and/or theme lists that break the mold and make it do something totally different.
>>
>>52175070
Me and people in my area are branching out into Infinity and Malifaux, but grass is sure as hell is not greener there. It's more a new shiny toy factor than actual system being better.
After playing other systems I can see how WMH is relatively very solid. Also the problem is that everything else is skirmish, no popular big army wargame alternative to WMH.

Personally I never stopped playing GW's games - I just stopped buying new stuff for them, because I found I was enjoying Warmachine a whole lot more. Now it's the opposite.

Can Skorne be tricky though? From the descriptions I've heard, playing Skorne is basically just a damage check for your enemy, I'm hoping that is just neckbeards exaggerating because I love their beasts, but don't want to play them if there's zero tactics involved on my part.

Mordikaar, Morghoul2 and Makeda2 all changed a lot from Mk2.

Mk2 Makeda2 used to be a beast missile, now she's mainly infantry support.
Morghoul2 was shit in Mk2, now he is playable in that he can sling mortality and has a solid feat. He's not really tricky though.
Mordikaar lost some infantry support and it changed to beast support. But in essence he's still all about the spells.

To be fair, Vlad implies they didn't need to retreat. Vlad gives the order to pull back after realizing Stryker was willing to die rather than let the khadorans walk into more of the poison gas explosions. He respected that enough to pull back from the city and accept the battle as a loss.

Legion is actually not bad at all right now. We have two good theme forces (and one terrible one, but even Cygnar has Sons of the Tempest) and quite a few competitive casters. As far as Ret and Cygnar go, Each one has to be approached in a different way. Kaelyssa probably won't play into Legion much since Eyeless Sight shuts off a lot of her feat. Ravagore Scather templates cause problems for all single wound infantry, including Sentinels. Cygnar's best unit are Storm Lances, and Anyssa Ryvaal, Raptors, and Lylyths are pretty good at killing them. Bonus points there is that We have Wraithebane in faction and our heavies can hit like trucks. It's hard to go wrong with Vayl2, Lylyth3, Thagrosh1, Absylonia2, and Fyanna2. Other casters like Rhyas1, The Twinjas, and even Kryssa (!) can be competitive in the right build.

Kryssa's not our greatest warlock by any stretch, but her Feat Turn makes our stuff hit like a truck. Playing her in Ravens of War and Oracles of Annihilation is largely attractive because she gets theme benefits and Azrael, which is really her main selling point in themes. I'll post three lists in a bit, one out of theme and one in each viable theme. Be prepared: Many Neraphs ahead.

Also, getting your upkeeps out for free is very nice and Apparition on Black Frost Shard is great.

Wow, that sounds great. Why isn't it used in Steamroller?

I was originally going to play Trollbloods but switched to Cryx because the idea of painting tartan is so intimidating. I know that feel.

What did they change?
>>
The Dreamer – We saw several battle reports where her attack was allowing for incredibly powerful interactions against Warbeasts. We did not feel this was a reasonable use of the attack, as well as the inconsistency with her power level against HORDES.

Sleepwalker only effects living warrior models.

Old Witch 2 – Reworking the cloud to be less abusive, especially with Reinholdt and creating cloud walls. Removing boosts to feat makes her less efficient at assassinations

Carrion Crows Magic Damage Icon removed because it is redundant with special rule wording from Black Wings.

Black Wings triggers on directly hitting an enemy model.

Feat loses boosted attack rolls.

Divination changed to reroll failed attack rolls.

Old Witch 3 – Reworking the cloud to be less abusive, especially with Counterblast. Hellhole clarified. Removing boosts to feat makes her less efficient at assassinations.

Carrion Crows Magic Damage Icon removed because it is redundant with special rule wording from Black Wings.

Black Wings triggers on directly hitting an enemy model.

Feat loses boosted attack rolls.

Hellhole clarified to be one unit, not all units.
Frightmare - Using large number of Frightmares has proven to be very strong. Hopefully reducing survivability can help armies combat this.

Reduced DEF 13>12

Gorehound – The Gorehound had many reports of extreme survivability. Prowl builds into its fluff of hiding into the shadows.

Stealth changed to Prowl.

Cage Rager – Wraithbane is a very powerful animus and gives the faction access to blessed, opening a lot of matchups.
>>
.Changed animus from Arcane Suppression to Wraithbane.

Rattler – The Rattler has seen very low inclusion rates inside of battle reports and feedback. This hopefully will encourage their inclusion.

Point cost reduced from 9>8

Gained Pain Response.

Hollowmen – We are not seeing Hollowmen as often as we would like. As the main ranged unit in the faction, we want to promote their use inside the faction.

Cost reduced from 8/14>8/13
Dread Rots – Dread Rots are currently being included almost unanimously over Neigh Slayers. Reducing their speed may see an increase in Neigh Slayer use. This is one we’ll be watching very closely. New wording has been added to increase the functionality of their corpse collection rules.

SPD reduced from 6>5

Bag Man changed and Victuals You Can Neither Raise Nor Buy added.

Cask Imp – Alchohol Fueled received clarification. The change in FA is due to manufacturing and has no relevance to game play.

FA reduced from 4>3

Alchohol Fueled movement clarified. The damage portion of this rule was split off into a new rule called Temperamental.

The damage from Temperamental now says “other models in the AOE”

Witchwood – The Witchwood was not performing at the level we wanted. Instead of increasing effectiveness, reducing points should achieve parity with other options.

Reduce point cost from 6>5

Death Knell – The new wording prevents abuses with killing your own models.

Bring Out Your Dead! Rewritten to prevent abuse.
Arcana – We have reevaluated the strength and usefulness of several Arcana Cards:

Shroud:We have cranked up the strength of this Arcana as it was rarely used. Please test this thoroughly, it is one we are currently keeping an eye on. Shroud no longer effects enemy models now grants Stealth to friendly models in control range.
>>
Ill Omens: This Arcana was very ineffective against ranged attacks. This new wording will allow it to function how we wanted. Ill Omens now has a global range.
All Fall Down: All Fall Down now has standardized trigger wording with other Arcana cards.
Injury: Standardized the trigger wording with other Arcana. Now removes Pathfinder from enemy models.
Pandemonium:No longer effects all units, only the original order. No longer can be used on Warcaster Units.
Labyrinth: Now triggers in control range.

Dark Menagerie – The corpse token benefit has been changed in light of the new Dread Rot rules.

Corpse tokens are now granted to non-trooper models.

While I'm at it:

RIP Old Witch 2. She was not even out yet.

wot happen?

>>52200142

This looks like a lot of fun, but I really don't think I could justify plopping down for 3 more Neraphs.

Maybe once Fyanna2 is released I could pick up another and see how that goes.
>>

See >>52201104

Why does she get a 2 and 3 before she is even release?
>>
>>52201406
With Fyanna I'm not sure I would bother with them. Fyanna doesn't play great in Ravens and isn't as good in Oracles as a lot of our other casters. I'd suggest running a list ut of theme with her without Neraphs since Fury can only go on at most 2 models/units any turn. Usually that's two Angelii, an Angelius and Zuriel, or an Angelius and a unit of Blighted Nyss Swordsmen for me. Here's a list I've had a lot of local success with.

>top left

Some sort of tank/turret. Could be Cygnar or Merc, doesn't have any distinct traits that the other factions are known for. Could also be a smaller part of a larger model. I personally think it looks Rhulic.

>bottom left and hammer

Apparently Siege2 with a minuteman jump pack strapped to his back.

>top right

A model from the upcoming Northkin command book, probably a warlock or new solo.

>bottom right

A trencher with a warcaster's arcane turbine on his back. It's possible that there could be more than 1 warcaster in the upcoming theme books, but another popular theory going around is that he is the Llaellese trencher warcaster that's been hanging around Ashlynn in the recent books.

You can still save her, Anon.

Alternatively, if you wanted to give oracles a try, this list wouldn't be bad. Losing a truly ideal target for Iron Flesh is a bummer, but at least it means BFS won't die to drifting blasts. You can sub out the Neraphs for something like a third Angel or even some Hex Hunters if that floats your boat. The two Sorcs on Hellion are for more board coverage and redundancy but more than one isn't really needed.
