ITT: We passionately discuss a wargame that doesn't exist

>>55396318
Well, they wanted to know what would happen if the wizardhobos were at max power at the beginning.
Turns out some spectacular things happen like accidental planeswalking and the occasional maurgarite pandemonium.

Of course, I don't expect you to see the genius in GAME COMPANY's decision to do that.
Scream Wizards is almost perfect now.

>>55396437
Being MAX POWER at the beginning was a mistake. Now they've effectively made a power cap, and breaking it would send the entire community into a frenzy. They're basically guaranteed to fail really hard sometime soon.

Also, can we discuss the Coswald Shipmaster? Why is he so fucking dull and mediocre in power but has such a sweet model?

>>55396318
Dude they brought their hit die down to a d3. That's good enough payment for the buff and then some. Scream wizards should be at least as strong as bloodragers after 5th level...

>>55396318
My Akashic Cubelings are still decent, even with the waves of imbalanced changes. Good thing I have 200 of them.

And a Speaker of the Divine Simplex, kitted with the Six Faces of Enlightenment.

>>55396738
>200 cubelings
>he has 3 digits worth of cubelings
>ever

>>55396318
They only buffed them so that they could actually stand a chance in tournaments ever since they made the TCG and wargame share a ruleset. Yeah, Scream Wizards rule in the meta of Aggro-Mill and defensive Shatterhorde lists, but is it any better than the non-unified game/setting when fucking Bloodsploder suicide that won by just having a few units hang back while the rest of the battlefield was universally nuked ruled the scene?

>>55396738
Lucky fuck. Cubelings always benefit from changes. Meanwhile, my heavy unit centered Ghost Apes got neutered ever since the Supreme Spectral Simian lost his Sealed Sceptre of S'hukreb.

>>55396813
>implying the Order of Sacred Geometries isn't a horde army masquerading as zone-setting spellcasters
Next you'll say it was a bad idea to get 100 Polytopic Priests.

>>55396816
You know you can pretty much recreate the Sealed Sceptre by taking a Serendipitous Staff of Sla'ruhm and investing some of the freed up modifier points in boosting the Simian's Binding skill, right?

>>55396890
>you can pretty much recreate the Sealed Sceptre
No you can't. The mustering bonus from the Sceptre was utterly bananas, and the Staff only offers half of it. Add to that the insane bonus ability that is entirely unique to the Sceptre and I lost a ton of utility.
>Next you'll say it was a bad idea to get 100 Polytopic Priests.
That is a bad idea. You should be running a prime number to get the associated stat buff off of nonreal geometry that lets you combat physical damage based threats that can destabilize your geometric formations. Running a multiple of ten just lets you access that one rather useless spell from your Arcanoids.

>>55396937
I ran the Mersenne Prime build last edition, but the utility from Decimation has gone seriously underappreciated. I guess you missed the rule that if you group all non-leader, non-siege units into groups of 10, all Priests count as Ascended Arcanoids for the purpose of casting Decimation.

MAKE FISHMANS VIABLE RHGHGLGHGLGHGLGHGL

>>55396974
Ah, you're actually building Decimation. I've played against one guy in my LGS that does that but it never actually triggers because of the sheer amount of disruption I get from Remote Possession on my Spirit Siamangs that can force squad changes and therefore waste vital setup orders.

Lore-wise, do you think the Verdant Order tolerates homosexuality within its ranks or perhaps even, encourages it?

>>55397065
Possibly, seeing as every Verdant player is massive faggot

>>55397065
It's a bait-and-switch for their secret enforcers to execute heretics of the Chartreuse Concord since the only sexual thing allowed is pollination. That hasn't stopped people from misinterpreting the Verdants as omnisexuals for some reason.

If Remote Possession is enough to disrupt his setup, he's not running a stable enough Leynode Projection. Also, I can't stress the importance of the Six Faces of Enlightenment.

Oh god I hate them so much. I'm fucking tired of always putting Tableflippers in every tournament list just on the off-chance someone fields them.
Tableflippers are shit. SHIT.

>>55396318
Man I had some great games today.

2000pts of my Vampire Counts up against my opponents Warriors of Chaos it was fantastic. The second was me and a Tomb Kings player teaming up on an Empire and Bretonnian player on a crusade themed battle.

Haven't had a great game day like that in ages.

>>55397135
Leynode does jack and shit if I project from between two Ghastly Gibbons that are equipped with Spell Lenses. That is an often overlooked combo that pierces almost every form of spell resistance AND boosts the speed gain from possession that then allows them to bust groups even more effectively. I can even combo them with a Gorillageist that has Ritual Chimes to explode the possession to corrupt a whole formation at once. Shit requires a lot of orders to be invested, but utterly ruins any formation strategy. Rushdown can fuck me up, though.

>>55397274
Scream Wizards are the chemo to the Bloodsploder cancer. Scream auras slow the 'sploders enough so that they can't suicide rush as effectively.

Got this badboy from tournament after wiping some noobs. Will he be playable in modern neofishmen lists?

>>55397316
Yes, but Scream Wizards synergize with the rest of my list even worse than Tableflippers. It's build around Green Things buffed with Sugar Rush, and their See Food rule doesn't let me put Scream Wizards in range unless I'm really lucky with the deployment chit throw.

>>55397327
Barely. You need dustswimmers to compete in most meta maps, and he synergizes well with them in that he can crush when he's delivered into the midst of an enemy line. His low mobility overall just cripples him and he sucks against the big Scream Wizard lists that are sweeping right now.

>>55397356
But they have really nice uses against most lists, especially as a counter to dedicated Scream Wizards. You don't need much range against 'sploders since the radius from the front lines is enough. Tell me how you use Tableflippers.

>>55397327
Wasn't he killed, fried and eaten in some metaplot game? That would disqualify him for any official event.

And that is precisely why I have the Six Faces. As a Reaction, I can kill an entire squad of Cubelings to add their total Structural Integrity Lines to my Resistance Dice. Cubelings are dirt cheap this edition, so I have lots of fuel. Then, when they die, the Pattern Network I use allows for me to autocast Decimation with the nearest two squads of Priests.

Metaplot is convoluted and there's almost always conflicting information, but yes, that did happen. Remember when three different versions of the official webzine released that had wildly different recollections of the events of the Crush Skirmish at Bungoid pass and then the company only released information after 9 months that said that two of the 'zines were canon but not which ones were?

>>55397397
That must be it. I never see Six Faces since it plays badly against the strangely common Sandwisp Brigade hybrid toolkit deck and negation infantry organization. Shit is ran by 1/3 of my LGS and I don't know why.

Scream whiners just need to git gud. They're easy to counter with a few yagmon coalition runecasters spirit casting manaward , locking them out of their power cards while your reikland redcoats secure the dropzones.

Fishmen are the most overpowered bullshit at the moment that nobody has clocked because they're too busy shitting themselves about scream wizards. Entire army gets , 9d8 sharp dice per turn, mass bubble immunity shields, hydro cannon spam and can 'go fish' every phase for free fucking power cards

The new minis for Eldritch Regnum look pretty awesome.

Can't wait to build me an army of Drogbars , once I finish my current army of Dantallion Exodus I will begin with those folks.

I spent more than $2000 pain-stakingly painting and modeling these fucking bastards and of course GAME COMPANY tears the army book a new one this edition. as per usual. i'm sick of being abused

>>55397576

Your big problem is that you kept letting him break LOS, what you need to do is get right up inside his minimum range and then mob his units but not attack them, because filling his LOS with nothing but your units means he can't see the lanterns to use them.

The other method is the Goat lord counter, but that all depends on how much THICC is allowed per flushot in that campaign.

>>55398671

You know, you could try Grey Legion. After years of being a footnote in the army books, the rules about them are pretty close to your robo-apathists. Hell, they even allow old school Metas as part of the detachments.

>>55398591
What you need is a distraction.
Use a Sharknado Man. He's relatively cheap, hard to kill, and looks intimidating. You'll get at least a turn of everything your opponent has hitting him instead of the redcoats, and if you can't win with that, you can't win at all.

Is GAME COMPANY stupid or what?
In the latest errata units bewitched by succubi are immune to mental effects for a turn. This was probably done to stop the infamous succubi tug-of-war, I understand. But now you can just charm your units with your own succubi and get a turn of immunity to half of the arsenal of, for example, Musical Frogs. That's a whole faction hard-countered by a single unit.

but yes succubi are a fucking blight used by perverts that just want to run an army of Zaftig Succubi Domina.

>>55398869
It isn't in the long haul, but when all you need is one turn you can discard Sharks to delay the save rolls until the end of the turn.

Succubi

Zaftig Succubus Domina is the best unit in current edition. You steal fodder for her or force everyone to run a seduction proof skeletons or golems or mushrooms out of the fear of what she might do. By the time she is on the board you've already fucked with the other guys plans and warped the meta to favor you.

It's the art of war. he spends the whole battle reacting to your plan instead of doing his own.

>>55398899
>Brents are imaginary now and fit into this thread

Too soon man, too soon.

>>55398944
There are other counters to her, like buying initiative and hairlocking her with Pseudobarbers on the first turn, or running Chill Smoker to make her waste invocations on hallucination tokens. But yes, Zaftig is OP and in a dire need of a nerf. Maybe limit the lipstick applications?

She dosn't need a nerf, she needs a meta that can handle her. Everyone can do something to counter her either organic to their army or with allies/mercenaries.

Going bad hair day on her with pseudobarbers is stupid but it works so it isn't stupid anymore and I think anybody can buy them as mercs.

>>55399030
Barbers are unreliable. If you can't get the first turn - if the other guy brought e.g. No Eyes Not Dragon to beat your initiative bids, or a Wind-up Custodes Captain-General to shuffle turns - you're shit out of luck.

>>55399641

Yeah but if I add the redneck that means I have to get rid of the penny farthings AND I have to roll for incest every turn.

There's cancers and then there's cancer, I just wanted to field a fun Goat Lord army instead of the usual fucking meta. Also all my cousins are guys and I'm not fucking them, on the grounds that I'm straight and they are already as inbred as fuck.

If you're playing Goat Lords be sure to place a Goat Tower for those unit conversion shenanigans, there's nothing more hilarious than converting an opponent's Yellich into a Sacrificial Kid.

>>55399657

>>55399732

Actually I was using the bicycle summon/woollen cannon skillset.

I take the penny farthings, cast violate an them throw the bag at the other player. While they drop to the floor in pain, any units I can knock off the table by whipping them with a wollen scarf count as being molested for the rest of the game.

Yeah it's itchy with the scarf and I'm a shit throw, but that's when I can use the shepherd to cast furious lust and you know the rest.

>>55399671
That's unfortunate.
I had a friend that played with rednecks (before the renew of last year I mean).
With the right setup (ex. Using moonshiners to boost theyour incest roll chance) you can put on the field so many inbreed mongrels your enemy will literally cry his eyes out.
Too bad they've loads of counters now is pointless.

How can you sit there and play such a shitty pack of stalin clones? Honestly? They've got mustaches going for them. That's it. The rest of their rules are terrible, their models are crude. They've just got good mustache effect tables and rules. You seriously like doing nothing but Mustache checks the entire game?

>Grand Khalian Sultanate used to be top-tier with its Arqeubus Janissaries and Bound Genies
>Now it's been turned into a ragtag army of spear-waving rebels because "it's topical"
For fuck's sake, GAME COMPANY, it's fantasy. It doesn't have to be "topical". They really need to stop taking advice from reddit. I bet if they listened to /tg/, we'd still have the Grand Sultanate AND they might have even brought back the Eternal Empire of Kang. I remember when I used to field a mixed Janissary/Mumbie army and fuck over new Scream Wizard players with it.

>>55401021
Thanks, Grey and Ice blue of Neomance is pretty neat, maybe go with that and make them an Adamantium Hats Sucessor, Neomances Fluff was allways to edgy for my taste.
>>55401233
To be fair, thats mostly since Second Edtion, after their Fluff was written by that Catmunism Fanboy Daron Bemski Aorden, and they somehow thought it was a good idea to give them all the retarted plot powers like double roll on yarn rolling and the gulag field effect.

They're not bad but Purple People Eaters are better. They get the Gentle Giant morale boost for all friendly units in, I think it's a three-hex radius? Maybe four. And Gentle Giant morale is better than the Green Giant intimidate ability.
Plus, the models look better. GC can't do humanoid faces, and the Green Meanies look more constipated than angry. At least the PPE are SUPPOSED to look like disgusting mutants.

>>55400654
To be fair, the Stormborn Immortals are a whole lot cooler than the old Stormborn units. I bought the Second Eternity box just to paint some Immortals, they look nice. Plus the Deepwalker army is fun to play.

might be my shit luck, but lightning stompers kick my ass everytime I try to charge them head on, only way I could get rid of them is with the neo-turkomen brigade, but their aim skill is shit

You can improve their aim by allying in some Spotted Spotters from the Terrakin faction

Meanwhile Grand Sultanate Janissaries had much better aim AND could disrupt magic users with their Suppressive Barrage.

Neo-arabians in general are for defensive playstyles. You find a structure, build an Ubermecca and hide your best guys in it while you probe with scouting riders. The Blitzjihad seems like an offensive ability but it works best when your Ubermecca is being sieged, the opponent spends their actions preparing structure-killer attacks and then you hit them while they're reloading with Flammentars when they think you can't move far enough to get in close. Make sure you target the crews and not their siege weapons themselves.

Are the Floater Shrooms a good starter army? I have found a really good deal on one Super Shroom, 20 Soldier Shroomies, and 2 Rockdrop Shrooms

Ghazi-jihadi blitzjihad rush was pretty damm viable in 3e, infantry is almost move as far as Grand Sultanate cavalry. but ever since 4e where they nerfed the mecha-ghazi's melee skill, now they can barely kill an immaculate crusader-bot.

>>55402006
Like the Ed, Edd n Eddy Online threads on /v/?

>>55402042
Good. Immaculate Crusader-bots should be tanks. Some shitty little Ghazi-jihadis shouldn't be able to take one down on their own without any Ordnance Priests buffing them.

>>55401973
Yes, but when you can, swap Rockdrop Shrooms for Bombardier. Two layers of protection for half the points, and some power points to be thrown around the rest of the army. Plus Shroom Shamans are hilariously difficult to kill when you decide to expand.

I hate the "bright line" abilities they added. Basically old scenarios mean shit now that you can get high tier abilities without performing transformation and the only back-draw to that is that they don't work with the old spells...
I think GAME COMPANY are just trying to make "blue line" replace the old abilities eventually. I have seen it happen in other games, they just force us to buy the new stuff or keep behind.

>>55402085
Thanks for the tip Anon, but I jus relooked in the Shroom War Codex and Shamans are a whopping 250 points. Are they really worth it?

Had a Orb player at the last flgs tournament I went to who literally said "Float, Emote, Float" like that stupid meme they have before and after every single move. The other two ball boys in the tourney even started joining in towards the end.

Orb players are cancer.

>>55402127
Check out their abilities. Lots and lots of cheap floaters can pop to reveal the same damn shaman, so you don't have to worry about sending it to kill enemy units. And all that armour!

Anyone else find the alqui damage output OP?
Why is one neolithic inbred retard capable of slaughtering an entire comic sailor platoon?

>>55402203
Well, that is kind of their entire thing. Stupidly overpowered, high points, needs legions of fans to pump their ego. The fans go down to a stiff breeze. You've got to ignore the Alqui until after.

>>55402266
The fans got removed after the disator that was 3e
The entire army got reworked into low armor high damage

GUYS! BIG NEWS!

-GAME COMPANY- JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW EXPANSION PACK!

Now we have alternate dimension deepwalking Goat Lords.

Neat.

>>55402399
Great, another fucking expansion.

Glad -GAME COMPANY- thinks adding more broken shit is more important than fixing their already broken game.

Scream Wizards was a fucking mistake.

>>55402399
Oh, great, it's not like my mountain men don't have enough problems. Shroomers can start growing *on* them, Scream Wizards can explode them with literally any power on a crit activation roll, no save, cubelings trip them up just by being inside 6 inches and Bombgradushur can moustache check their way out of damage. Now Goat Lords are going to be able to dimension walk to them THEN use them as terrain AND eat any vegetation equipment I give them.

I just want to play ambulatory rockmen and not get stomped. Is that so wrong?

Story wise, Angelguts make no fucking sense. Why would The Papa allow them when they clearly lack 10 out of 16 beertues?
The only dumber thing I know is that Yumyums aren't flammable. They are literally drenched in shoelent.

>>55402478
The new expansion is actually supposed to give mountain men special abilities to bypass stuff like instant-exploding and damage negation.

>>55402521
I'll believe that when they stop releasing previews for things like goat lords. It has a specific section on how they can use them as terrain, for goodness sakes. Why don't GAME COMPANY just rename Scream Wizards to Fuck Mountain Men?

>>55402478
Lol. If you don't want to get stomped maybe don't play an army that gets "Sink" on even waterlogged terrain.

>tfw spent $500 on golems

>>55403796
>>55403835
>Sieges
There's your problem. Can't siege something if there's no structure.Music Meisters should be mobile. Put them in fucking stupid places where they have no business being. Cast a debuff, or maybe do a little damage, then use your Encore action to run out of range or hide them. People often fall into the trap of casting a debuff and using Encore to attack, but unless you can one-hit the target and there are no other threats that's suicide. One of my favourite tactics is to cast 'Where Am I' and then use the surprise turn to have other units hit the unprepared, debuffed targets.

See, I used to do that but with Alfred Pennyworth being such a common card that they can just track my Music Meisters and minions because of the free tracking technology he gets.

I just like the idea of controlling my enemies, but GAME COMPANY keeps putting in debuff and Mind Control resistant tools and monsters. Also I like having the ability to make Pianos and other traps if I have structures, it seems like they're trying to do too many things with the Meister Archetype, any ideas?

Other Villains can make use of Meister's traps. Make a Fort, place the traps, and move a more defensive Villain like Iron Curtain in to actually hold the fort.
Music Meister is a tool, not a gimmick. Don't rely on him too much. Also, if you take Insanity, you can give the tracking technology false reads and all you have to give up is a few roll modifiers for skills you could just not use.

>>55403969
This, they're balls, sometimes with designs, they couldn't be easier to fucking paint.
A player who uses Orbs right is pretty rare. Most of them just use them because they're too lazy to actually assemble their models.

You serious? The Greysuit Menance is a way stronger archetype with how many more units you get. The Doomclowns start great and they have a lot more uses of the It's a Prank! spell card, but when you have so many Greytiders it's really easy to get the Greytide Worldwide event, plus it counters most Modes or it plays into them.

Fuck off, Doomclowns were fine before the changes. You just needed to get the juggle carnival going with at least 6 hatchetlings before putting the DCs in play.

Now with the buffs to pranks and sprays you're going to see nothing but chucklefucks running the same armies everywhere. Thanks GAME COMPANY.

You plebs need to swap to Only Orcs. There's so many races to play as

such as Orcs, Orks, Oarks, Grey Orcs, SMOrcs, Jorks, and even the newly released Orcgres. But if I see any of you guys playing half-orcs i'm going to smash your miniatures.

So I have a question about unit movement:

Say that I have four levels of terra fliers, but the terrain is a level three compound with the raised attribute bonus. This brings the terrain to a fifth unit height, but since the terra fliers only count ground movement+1, they can still go four up, which is above the three, right?
So wouldn't terra fliers outclass all structure attributes by their very nature? Honestly, this is why nobody plays with the Tanzeem expansion, the Crossers are just too strong of a faction with this shit.

Prove me wrong, fags. Do the math and show me the error of my ways.
