>>54277340
I don't even play Trollbloods (I mainline Legion so no new releases for three more years! Wheee!). I just want stuff to be good. Kolgrima has a fiddly feat but a decent spell list and currently misses out on not having an arc node and not having an upkeep to get for free on a Northkin model in the theme. Hence why I'm angling for Soul Slave.

I just want everyone's stuff to be good Anon.

>>54277810
Into the Storm and Into the Wild by Larry Correia are both good, and Blood of Kings and the Acts of War are pretty alright too.

Blood and Iron, The Butcher, and Instruments of War aren't bad either. The Butcher in particular is a pretty nice read.

>>54278606
The Butcher story was pretty cool if you don't mind the usual tropes being employed. Personally, I think that the IK works fairly well as a classic sword & sorcery setting with some laborjacks kicking around. It's a completely different scale and tone from the main WMH fluff.

Here's what I've got I guess, though Helynna really wants a unit of Dawnguard Sentinels or something to keep her jacks from getting jammed hard

That's going to take time and it's not going to happen all at once. PP never could have done it without some kind of CID or community beta test. We'll get there within the next year though.

(Morghoul 2) Lord Assassin Morghoul [+29]
- Agonizer [6]

Reminder that Skorne's new theme offers such huge benefits that you may as well use it for every list you make. Want infantry? Brigands with Morghoul2 and an arc node. Want beasts? Naaresh with a Wrastler and as many Savages as you can field.

I'm confused about themes. Isn't the idea you take a restricted list and get free points and rules because your list has some weaknesses because it's restricted? So now they're effectively mandatory because you get free models, rules, for almost nothing
>>
>>54291054
The Skorne one is a pretty egregious fuckup honestly. Far from being restrictive, it opens up an entire other fucking faction to you, solving a lot of your faction's problems, and then it rewards you for doing so. Wanna spam beasts? It accommodates. Wanna spam infantry? It accommodates. Wanna play an actual game of Warmachine? It accommodates. I'm not seeing any reason to play anything other than this theme right now.

I'm running a IKRPG campaign set in occupied Llael for a new group. they are heroes of the Resistance based in Merywyn.
what adventure hooks would work for them? I'm kinda blanking on ideas.

assassinating the Kommandant-Governor will be one of the main objectives of the campaign, but I want to build up for that.

A few quick ones.
>>
>>54292127
these are good. thanks.

one thing that I can't get my head around is the scale of occupying forces in Merywyn. the KNG book says it's the HQ of the 1st Army's 2nd Division, and there are about 70k soldiers stationed in all of occupied Llael, but if I count however much are said to be garrisoned at other cities, it still leaves Merywyn with 60k, which seems astronomical, and almost futile for the Resistance to try to dislodge.
I'm aware that it's mainly the Highborn Covenant that's handling military operations, but still...

>>54292293
>>Stopping a Greylord led operation stripping cortexes from stockpiled Llaelese jacks, and finding a way to deliver the remaining jacks to the Resistance while the Khadorans close in.

actually I thought of something like this. my idea is that they would be smuggling warjack cortexes put in laborjack chassis under the guise of a kayazy contractors coming for the rebuilding effort.

I might be combining the two somehow.
>>
>>54292374
>why not?

It's carrying off some random Llaelese citizen. Doesn't look like a bad guy or anything so it just makes the Khadorans look like what they are: invaders.
>>
>>54292467
it looks like a noble. llaelese had a problem with corrupt nobles. I think it represents that.
>>
>>54292467
THIS>>54292500

The Llaellese nobility was corrupt as fuck. Hell, a major part of the reason that Khador steamrolled them so easy was that the Llaellese military was horribly under equipped and underfunded due to rampant corruption in the government.
>>
>>54291330

Very limited warlock selection, and Brigands, while that good, aren't *that* good.

But sure you can make a whole lot of pairings out of it. But it hardly invalidates the rest of faction (although it might be strictly better than playing the Paingiver warlocks any other way).
>>
>>54291698

Traveling across country to do reconnaissance on a Greylord installation for another faction's (ex. Cygnar, Convergence, Ret) subsequent raid. Possibilities for a favor to cash in later, a sometimes ally, or a betrayal.

Locating, hiding, and smuggling out a noble. Possibilities for a double cross to secure house assets for the resistance, instead of just sending the poof/chit on to cygnar with a properly worshipful expression and they just blow it maintaining their lifestyle in exile.

Fencing military salvage. Bonus points if its to a Koldun.

Is it generally useful to use Dirty Meg as a jack marshal for a lower-focus caster?
>>
>>54296624
Generally, no, jack marshals in general are a hard sell. Jacks aren't nearly as useful without a steady supply of focus, you miss out on any battlegroup spells the caster might have, and you're still paying full price for a jack that's not reaching its full potential.

That said, if you like her, play her, people make good use of ranged focused jacks when they're marshaled, especially if there's a movement based drive involved.
>>
>>54293212
Well, I think Morg2 gives up the most for this theme, and the other three warlocks had no reason to get played much at all anyways, so the theme is a big step up.
>>
is... is Soles actually being personable this time around?

I can see why he wouldn't have been during the Grymkin CID since they were his baby and none of us like people criticising things we're proud of, but holy shit. I think this is the most agreeable I've ever seen him being.
>>
>>54293212
Brigands become much better when you have a Juggernaut arc node to cast Mortality through. And don't forget that you get free solos for bringing those Brigands. You could bring a Taskmaster to act as another UA for them or a Willbreaker to make Mortality land.

>>54287467
The dev talks only last 1 day dumbass. It's so that the playteating isn't just focused on one thing.
>>
>>54297837

Free solos in Skorne just isn't a thing, much less an egregious thing. It's a Willbreaker, who was getting in anyway, and is effectively just sneaking the warlord into the list. For variety, maybe a master tormenter. Counter-intuitively, maybe Orin.

between the Borkas, who is better for beast bricking? who is better for infantry? Why?
I was originally thinking that Borka1 would be better for infantry and Borka2 would be better for bricking, but taking a GK and B2 with a Hooch Hauler, Rok, and infantry doesn't seem like a bad idea. And taking B1 with a beast brick doesn't seem terrible because of his Feat and his Shroud ability allowing him to get his guys into melee

>>
>>54302461
I haven't gotten the chance to test them out yet, but Mosh Pit standing up knocked down models is a really good thing if you got a bunch of infantry.
Beasts can just shake it, but infantry love not having to sacrifice an action or movement.
Also, infantry getting knockdown means you can knockdown a ton of stuff.
>>
>>54302464
also here: http://cards.privateerpress.com/
>>
>>54302620
see that's why I'm so torn, they can both do it but I don't know who does it BETTER.

The main thing I'm debating is how well they can deliver their army.
B1 with a GK allows you to both give concealment AND say "you can't hit me with ranged attacks," but he has to pay for the first second part. B2 has the GK snowfall as a spell that he has to pay for, but he doesn't need to rely on a GK to do it for him. B1 can also upkeep Arcane Ward on the GK or HH to keep them alive.

B1, in the instance that it happens, can make his army stand up. Which is good with infantry, but with beasts not having to force them gives them another fury to work with. B2 can't do anything like this, but he can give his battlegroup Countercharge which is pretty strong.

Feat-wise, B1 works EXTREMELY well with a beast brick as it allows him to almost guarantee the alpha. But B2 allows you to rush a zone and attrition it, OR it allows you to make an alpha rush you might not and survive it. This is doable with both a beast brick and mass infantry.

I think that running B2 on infantry would be better, and running B1 on beast brick would be better. If just because of their feats.

speaking of, thoughts on these updated lists? I'm still pretty new to trolls and there isn't a troll player in my meta so I'm not sure what's good and what isn't.
I put in Janissa because of her Tectonic Shift and hill creation abilities. I took SSC because it can help defend the stone which is important. the thought process is pretty much explained in my other post; use Borka1 to get the brick up the field and then get the alpha, and use Borka2 and the GK to get the other models up the field so they can punch face. Someone else said the Raiders weren't worth taking, but I feel like their 8" AoE fire damage combined with the HH is a good idea.

Borka2, if the CID changes stick, is a damn fine personal beatstick and beast brick warlock. Don't forget, the Hooch Hauler's Veteran Leader will apply to Borka2 and his entire BG as well, since he makes them all Northkin. Borka2 is also probably the only Warlock at the moment who might want a Pyre Troll, which is kind of neat.

Borka1 can effectively operate with 7 Fury a turn but you need to remember that he can only really manage 5 if he doesn't camp anything, which limits his ability to run Beast bricks effectively. That being said, Borka1 is a very good Warlock imo whether you're building beast heavy, infantry heavy or combined arms, although he probably works best in the last role.
>>
>>54303960
Keeps him more survivable in the midfield where he wants to be but denies him Silly Willy for the free upkeep which he really wants, and probably won't keep him alive vs dedicated shooting lists. On paper it looks nice but it only puts a band-aid over one of Thyron's glaring weaknesses while exacerbating another.

That's lore accurate isn't it?

The Protectorate doesn't exactly have the time or resources like Cygnar or Khador to innovate and build entirely new weapons when rescaling an old one will suffice.

To be honest, I think there's more to the Grymkin than that. I'm willing to bet the five of them did a lot more than just piss in Menoth's face to warrant that shit.

Especially since the twins both became gods themselves and didn't get fucked up for it.

At least in CID Borka2 is much more survivable than he was before so he can play farther forward than before. Attuned spirit helps him be functional and camp as well.
>>
>>54309506
To me it makes perfect sense. He is a being if pure law. Laws in his mind to keep his flock safe, and to grow them in proper numbers for the divine wars.

It takes MAJOR nads to defy a god, and its very old testament to just say fuck it and send them all to hell.
>>
>>54309613
Nope, but i find their arcana that turns everything in control range living (as in loose undead, incorporeal, and construct) to be a very neat mechanical example of them for instance.
>>
>>54309788
That's the thing though, Menoth doesn't really subscribe to the flock mentality.

He's a big picture god, more worried about running the world and fighting the Wurm then he is trying to deal with humans. So long as they worship him as their creator and don't work with the Wurm, he's got no issues(Morrowans do this, by the way. Morrowan churches usually have some shrine or other offering to Menoth as the creator of man).

No, the Crusades are because Menites have spent the last couple of centuries doing all sorts of shit to make everyone hate their church, so they got pissed off and started trying to force people to convert.

The issue with Titans is that if you remove Rush, most of them have some pretty shitty threat ranges.

And a BB is better with Rage, what with that base MAT7

On the reverse end, a War Hog is SPD5 and gets to POW23, where a BB gets to 22.

Well he certainly seems to be giving a lot of support, what with Harby and the Avatar.

Point is imagine your Menoth.

You create man as your weapon against the devourer. You could have made them automatons, but free will makes stronger souls in urcaen.

So you go back there and fight the devourer wurm.

Your curiousity gets the better of you, and despite the extreme risk you leave the fighting to your army and descend to earth to check up on your guys.

Damn thier doing shit and the devourer is kicking their ass.

So you grant them the tools and knowledge to overcome and prosper.

Then That Guy just has to pop up and says:

"Divine tools of justice? Thanks we dont want any"

What.

"Your society sounds cool and all but I feel more like slepin ok?"

"Do you have any idea how important every soul is?"

"Yeah well I just dont feel like it"

Then you realise that they have bearly awakened their divine sparks. What will happen if more people follow in their footsteps? The war effort will be all but forgotten!

So yeah you damn them to hell, an ultra hell and throw away the key, gaurded by powerful monstrocities.

Its not nice, but niether is death for treason, we have a war here and just leaving them be could have untold consequences.

Thats my view of it anyway.
>>
>>54314143
>Then you realise that they have bearly awakened their divine sparks.

But Menoth is afraid of precisely that. He does not want every human to reach their full potential, because then every human will turn out like the Twins and may not be so interested in fighting the Wurm.
>>
>>54314173
No thats my point. That tgeir sparks where beggining to awaken so he shunted them off to double hell before they became unmanageable.

Okay this is a bit ridiculous
>>
>>54321967
The gun ammo looks suspiciously similar to that of a Destroyer but the barrel is clearly not a Bombard. We might be looking at something like a cheap alternative to the WGBE points-wise that has less durability and game impact, kind of like a BE Light. It also slots into a MOW theme force.

Overall though it looks lame as far as a MOW BE goes. They should have just made it a giant walker a bit smaller than a Conquest.

>>54321967

Man, Troll models are hit or miss. I love things like the old metal bouncer, Gunnbjorn and Fennblades. Then you get extra goofy stuff like this and the Night Troll.

theme forces back in the day used to change up the FA of models included, so people who played those are now left with tons of models they can't use.

Just because something is not an optimal choice does not mean your purchase is invalidated. As for the FA thing, a lot of models got increased FAs in the edition change to account for that very fact.

If you want to have a fair game, you can only take optimal choices. With power creep, balance is only achieved if you own every model.

I agree that trencher long gunners are a blatant cash grab...

I know very little about this game, picked this up on clearance.

Apparently this is meant for display more than actual playing, that true?
>>
>>54330989
Not necessarily. It's an alternative sculpt for the Titan Gladiator, which is an okay Skorne beast. It's just rather impractical in some play situations due to its sheer size, so you might have to proxy it occasionally.
>>
>>54331013
Hmm, alright.

To be honest it's the only Warmahordes stuff I own, so I might give it a go as my first proper display only piece.
>>
>>54330989
Gladiators are a decent Skorne beast but often kind of mandatory due to having an inherent spd buff animus in a faction where everything is slow. Its easy to sell, or would be a nice model to own if you ever started playing.

Its unfortunately huge as fuck and Skorne models are known for overhang, meaning you may need to proxy it during in game interactions. It'd make a fine display piece otherwise if you wish to show off your painting talents.
>>
>>54331081
People aren't even playing Gladiators these days it seems. Titans overall are very weak beasts to the point where people are playing more Cyclops.
>>
>>54331773
Titans are strong by beast standards, but not by jack standards. And that is what they would be up against.
>>
>>54331773
Citation? Because the average rule of thumb is that /tg/ sucks at warmachine.
>>
>>54331792
Well take a look at any Skorne list. The only heavies theere are Archidons and Despoiler.
>>
>>54331824
Well, I looked at a Skorne list made by "Ahny Bodie", right inside of "Every Pizza Place" Pizza last Tuesday at "The Average Mall" Mall.

And it was utterly incorrect. Nothing but Titans. Just take a look at "Any" skorne list for a confirmation!
>>
>>54331853
Well your imaginary friend is free to play shitty lists I guess. Now look at lists that good players play and you'll see a different picture.
>>
I think that the new release way of PP are exaclty the release way of Codex of GW.

I don't think a game like Warmachine can handle the fact that 3 Faction gets new shiny toy each year plus a Theme Force while the rest remain behind.

I am selling my 600+ € Circle for 250 €.

Just hope someone will buy it.
>>
>>54329290

So what do Skornes think of this? Looks sparse.
>>
>>54332369
15 free points is okay. Will see play.
>>
>>54331914
>Make statement backed by nothing
>Mock said statement
>Still provide no evidence

Whatever. Its a well known fact that TG is shit at warmachine.

>>54332067

They are aiming essentially to circularly cover every faction in order. That includes circle. I believe its getting more focus on its wold theme force this year.

So its still releases for every faction every year.
>>
>>54332795
>Hurr please spoonfeed me
I have nothing to prove to you shithead. Look stuff up for yourself. The most prominent example for you are the Nordish Masters in Germany and the ETC in the UK.

Now apply youself you lazy fuck.
>>
>>54332795
>They are aiming essentially to circularly cover every faction in order. That includes circle. I believe its getting more focus on its wold theme force this year.

From keynote I understand that there are 4 big release wave coming : Skorne, Legion, Minion and Cryx.

Other Faction will just have one Christmas release.

Am I wrong ?
>>
>>54332067
But they don't release actual books and the actual rules will all be free. Are you a retard by chance?
>>
>>54326862
surely all the idiots that spammed stuff in the old theme forces deserved to get burned.

What kind of cunt goes out and buys FA+x units just so they can "win" at a game?

I laughed when they nerfed croak raiders and I continue to enjoy sipping on the overflowing sweet salty tears of all the power gaming twats.
>>
>>54332866
>people were having the wrong kind of fun so it's good PP fucked them over
You're a fun guy.
>>
>>54332843
I believe so. They are kinda under allot of pressure at the moment so they couldn't spoil everything.

Circle is happening later, which is why they didn't have preview pics, but its still happening just a bit later.

I don't even think the Minions, and Legion release are even the firster ones in order.

I do agree that this release shedule is less balanced then before, but the amount of releases everybody should get by years end (As in years end when they started this model) should be about the same.

It's so that CID has time to balance them all individually with their own month or so with time for a cooldown.

Cryx was an exception because it was apparently their "Test" faction to see if people could be objective.
>>
>>54332936
Repeated no win situation:

>Don't Nerf
"PP SUPPORTS SPAM THOSE FUCKERS!"
>Spam
"PP FUCKING LOVES INVALIDATING CHOICES THOSE FUCKERS"
>Don't do public playtests
"PP IS FUCKING INCOMPETENT"
>Do Public playtests
"PP IS FUCKING INCOMPETENT"
>Support a Faction
"FUCK YOU PP YOU DON'T LOVE ME"
>Don't support a faction
"FUCK YOU PP YOU DON'T LOVE ME"

Geez, this fan base is really tense.
>>
>>54332994
I'm not even sure what you are saying here. Please try again with more English and less greentext. Thank you.
>>
>>54333005
If they had a model too good and it caused spam People would blame PP for causing spam

If they nerfed it, people would call them assholes for invalidating their choices.
>>
>>54333023
Yeah it's a really bad situation and there's no clear best choice here. That's not my point though. My point is that you are a spiteful cunt.
>>
>>54311201

We'll have to see what kind of Commander abilities CoI comes with that may change her.
>>
>>54332936
Yeah i know right :D
>>
>>54333034
yeah but that was him, not me.
I'm the spiteful one.

PP is in a bad place it seems. Because although CID is a good idea, it feels now like the game is unfinished.

And wow that mk3 launch, so much fail.
on the contrary GW have a shit game, but had a succesful launch.
i hate the world sometimes.
>>
>>54333159
I think they have literal demons working in the marketting department.
>>
>>54333159
GW could release WH40k-themed rocks and they'd sell like crazy. PP doesn't have that luxury and have to be incredibly careful. I'd say I wish they weren't so comically incompetent at communication, but that keynote was one giant step in the right direction.
>>
>>54330032
Except the whole point of theme force releases is to take alternate versions of things. In PPs vision of the game TLG and LG don't compete cause they're not in the same theme forces.
>>
>>54332848
Are you simple? The problem is that factions aren't getting equal attention like in the past.
>>
>>54333159
>Because although CID is a good idea,

I disagree. It causes confusion in the community, the loudest voices and sperge lords are helping shape the game.

I personally know 2 guys that don't even play Trolls, that are currently helping in the CID based off play experienced against them...from months ago. They're able to form complete sentences and sound plausible too, so even though someone will reply "The Devs know!!!11!"...they really fucking don't. They're a small shop.

They're so fucking small Pagani had to stop the CID momentarily to help setup tables for LnL. So yeah, I don't have high hopes.
>>
>>54333670
Given how large the game has become, in terms of the sheer number of models and factions, giving everyone equal favour isn't going to be viable any more. Look at Mk3's release - trying to playtest and balance every permutation of every faction was obviously too much for PP to handle. Concentrating on new releases for a few factions, with CID cycles to help keep things balanced, is a reasonable alternative.

Also I'm hype as fuck for the Cryx living pirate theme, especially since Axiara is finally getting a model. We can only hope for new Satyxis Raider sculpts as well.
>>
>>54333207
>GW could release WH40k-themed rocks and they'd sell like crazy

GW has rich fluff, historically good writers for their novels. That's why.

PP has Denny giving blow jobs to trenchers.
>>
>>54332648
Zaal2 3 units of immortals is already a tournament viable top 3 list. Giving it 15 free points will make it a top 10 list in the game
>>
>>54333744
Pagani and Hungerford seem like good guys trying to pick up the pieces...
>>
>>54333763
GW has rich fluff and good writers?
>you confirmed to be retarded

Which they're doing their absolute best to ruin lately.
>>
>>54333763

They reaaaaaaaaallly don't.

Only spergs that already like 40K like the novels.

>I personally know 2 guys that don't even play Trolls, that are currently helping in the CID based off play experienced against them...from months ago.

You already mentioned that. I haven't seen a singular menoth POV battle report. In the CID. The things PP cares most about.

Im just wondering how they could complain or make a battle report based on data that could not exist months ago because at the moment new stuff is being tested.

Are they just farting around the theory thread and demanding nerfs?

Hopefully they're less than $50.

What the literal fuck are you talking about? They ended a Dev Talk, sure, but that was right about when it was going to end anyway. The CID cycle is still on going through lock & load and doesn't require active PP presence 100% of the time.

I honestly don't think you've actually looked at how the CID stuff is ran and read some of the battle reports in it. Everything you're saying sounds like someone spouting off secondhand knowledge like its gospel.
>>

If I wanted to read Dune with all the interesting bits replaced with Space Marines... Oh wait, I fucking don't. I'll just read the original.

REEEEEE

>>54333744
We have one release wave from CID (Battle Engines and Thralls) so far. Or two in fact sincee Grymkin released. I haven't looked at the latter, but the former turned out extremely well. That is a very good sign for CID, so I am very hopeful on that front.
>>
>>54334100
I have a sizable Infernal Machines-style Cryx army as well. Banes and Revenants don't do much for me, but the Satyxis and Thralls were what got me into the game.

>>
>>54336970
What makes you say that? They are strong definitely and the Child has some very strong combos...But doesn't seem unbeatable.
>>
>>54336970
They're very "king of the sandbox" style. They have a ton of gotchas and can sometimes feel oppressive, but they really are fairly balanced and not at all OP.
>>
>>54337485
Those are not gotchas. You can't counter them in any way.

Like?

>>54337625
...You do realize you don't have to trigger Arcana right? You have a choice.

I don't get PP. Impaler sucks. They release the ice troll, which is essentially the same, but cheaper and situationally better. Cool. But it's still shit because it has the major drawback of impaler - a single low pow medium range attack that needs boosting.
>>
>>54338952
it's buffed by both strength buffs and the new stone buffs. The Ice Troll's ranged attack can get up to a pretty high pow
>>
>>54339306
>new stone buffs
I thought the elder just got +d3 Fury every turn added.
>>
>>54339719
The STONE got a star action to get 1d3 fury
There's also a new Stone attachment which gives a bunch of buffs to northkin
>>
>>54338952
Its actually pretty high POW with traditional Troll Stacking.

The Elder Ice Boosting aura gives +2 Damage, then you can stack +3 more from rage and the like. Bam your low pow now can smash warjacks.
