Durst is an amazing caster.

I just play him with Hand of Judgement, Reckoners*2, and Repenters*5. 2 vassals and2 choirs is plenty support, and he doesn't die immediately to MHSF or other ghost-shot or Magic Attack assassinations that tag other protectorate casters easily.

Durst is great.

What shit players are you playing that you feel that Harbinger is the only Menoth Caster who has game? Most Menoth Casters are pretty good, with the only Casters coming to mind as being bad are Amon and Thyra, and I still fucking hate playing into Thyra. Serverius, Feora, Kreoss, High Reclaimer are all pretty damn solid.

Actual non-shitpost opinion is as follows.

I think TG is just losing its love for this game as a whole.

There are plenty of other games that can offer a similar experience to Warmachine without the setup and memorization.

I've taken up Armada and X Wing and I dare say I'm enjoying it far more than I am WMH, but that's because I have been playing for years and years and WMH has gotten stale.

The only ones still hyped to play it are the few newbloods. The only reason I show up on WMH days are to make sure they have an opponent, but they have started to catch onto the meta as I am starting to drift away, so its only driving my interest further and further away.
>>
>>44033165
Similar for me as well. The game feels very "solved" currently and I just don't feel like I can afford to play this in casual manner. If I take it casually, I'm gonna get fucked because the game is too plagued with skews that demand specific matchups.

The game lacks pieces to punish skews and it's just gotten stale.

PP really needs to make a MK 3 to revitalize interest or this game will die in about 3 years max.

I've been playing Guild Ball and it's basically brought the wonderment of early WM back in me where play seems to matter more than matchups and it's more about what I'm doing rather than what I'm taking.
>>
>>44033072
Haha yep. I am grossly exaggerating my assessment, but this is still 4chan. So it's to be expected.

Fuuuuu.... Screwed up the formatting on my spoiler opinion. Whatever. I still like the game, just that its getting harder and harder to stand by it as time goes on.
>>
>>44033165
I've been playing for a little over a year and I just don't care anymore.

The game is very unfriendly to new players, so my local meta isn't growing at all. All while the resident WAAC-fag slowly makes people not want to even bring their models to the store for games.

I've shifted to X-wing, I've been playing that for about 6 months and it's more fun for me. Competitive is still competitive, but you can meet people on a Friday night at the FLGS and everyone plays what they think is cool and fun and has a good time.
>>
>>44035047
Just to add on. I still enjoy the game and hope things get better. Either through models that break up the current super stale meta or a fabled mk 2.5/3.
>>
I don't think things are as "solved" as people think. For example, EE was out for quite a while before it was taken seriously, wich has only happened within the last year. Builds like 'skarre's dirty thirty' are also relativly new.

Besides, the only meta that matters is your local one (for the majority of players).

You can also always ask to play against a certian warnoun ect.

Expecting fun games with random fag's at a store instead of just playing with people your actually friends with. Why you do dis?

I get having a change of pace, or wanting a bit of competition every now and then, but if I'm going to waste a few hours I'd rather do it with my buddies then random neckbeards.

>>44035239
Because I live in a relatively rural area. I drive 50 miles to the closest game store (which is in my state's biggest "city" of 175k)

Nerdy hobbies are difficult in a sparsely populated, mostly redneck area.

Also, how the fuck do you meet new people you share interests with? Personally, I go to my FLGS and make some fucking friends.
>>
>>44035323
> I go to my FLGS and make some fucking friends.

Yea I get that, but then you obviously have a group of "buddies" to rely on for good gaming rather then having your hobby rely on "random neckbeards/WAAC-fag's" you find at the lGS, like OP mentioned. If they've been playing regularly and now are still relying on WAAC-fag's for games, then they obviously don't have a half decent gaming group.

I mean it sucks if your in a rural area like that, but I'd rather call up people to set up a game rather then drive 50 miles and hope that the next few hours aren't spent with a knuckle munching fuckwit. If it comes down to that, then I'll just drop the gaming aspect, because fuck it, I have more important shit to do with my time.

I mean I love the game, but I'm not going to waste my time with anal retentive ass wipes just to play, not when I can just call up actual friends who want to shoot the shit and push mini's around the table for a few hours.

Back to Reddit.
>>
>>44035636
Well, that's just it, I have my handful of friends that play Warmahordes. All of us refuse to play with the WAAC-fag, but that doesn't mean he won't still poison the well for other players and cause them to leave.

The local meta is dead due to the high barrier of entry to the game. Outside my friends there are only 2 people locally that play Warmahordes. And while I like my friends, playing against the same 2-3 people all the time gets stale.

For X-wing there's a solid group of players, we make a post if we're going to show up on the FLGS's facebook page and usually 6-8 guys show up to play. (I know, facebook, but the group function is good for shotgunning information to everyone)

Also, keep in mind not all of us are children. There comes a stage where many of the friends have wives or adult responsibilities to keep in mind. We can't all meet every weekend. Hell, once a month gets difficult.

So I've got a two player (Menoth vs Khador) set of figures lying around still and decided I'm gonna try and sell 'em. Only thing is, most of the Menoth are partially painted (primer, primary color, some gluing), and several figures are missing pieces.

Two Exemplar Incinerators are missing heads.
Kreoss is heavily damaged.
Sorscha is missing an arm.

All of the Khador figures are unopened (minus Sorscha), and I also have a Reznik in perfect condition (unpainted/unprimed as well), along with a 2010 Menoth Faction Deck (which I imagine is obsolete).

Would $40 be a fair asking place, all things included? It seems like the two player box averages at around $60, so half that plus ten for Reznik.

Your meta must be shit. Our local WMH community is growing so fast, it has me wondering if it might even be too fast.
>>
>>44036102

New people begets new people. It stabilizes rather quickly and suddenly once the ice water comes crashing down.

I've seen this plenty of times. People dig it until they realize how many gotchas there are in the game. Then the herd thins.

Also it seems like the wider trend is that more metas are shrinking rather than growing, but I'm sure you knew that.

While I am happy for you and your meta, the thing you and your group will need to keep in mind is that you have to keep your group interested and growing. The best publicity for the game is actually playing it.

Just stay positive and jovial! The thing that kills most metas is pessimism and hopelessness resulting from a very brutal game. Give warning to any nasty tricks that may arise in play and the gotcha sting is lessened. This usually helps contain the drop,bit is not guaranteed.

>jamming is related to fucking with warjacks

No. Jamming involves fucking up your enemy's ability to advance.

Satyxis are quick and have AD so they can get in your opponent's face fast and it's pretty hard to stop them from getting in your face due to their high DEF against shooting and immunity to blasts making it hard to take them out on the approach. They've also got Reach so they can tie up lots of stuff in melee.

Butcher 3, you will rape, but know that busting out a caster that can single handedly kill 35pts of enemy army in a turn in a 25pt game will ensure that all kid glove will come off.
>>
>>44049626
Of all the models on the game, Jacks tend to be the easiest to jam.

Their "Bitch get out the way" trample power attack needs a valid landing zone and is vulnerable to free strikes by anything that hits hard.

Points: 50/50
Kallus, Wrath of Everblight (*5pts)
* Blightbringer (18pts)
Blighted Nyss Legionnaires (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts)
* Captain Farilor & Standard (3pts)
Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 4 Grunts) (8pts)
* Warspear Chieftan (2pts)
Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 4 Grunts) (8pts)
* Warspear Chieftan (2pts)
Spawning Vessel (Leader and 5 Grunts) (3pts)
Feralgeist (1pts)
Strider Deathstalker (2pts)
Strider Deathstalker (2pts)

I'm thinking armor cracking with attrition as a back up

I shouldn't need a succubus as you rarely deed to hotswap ignite and cast dark guidance. I could swap out the deathstalkers and the feralgeist for bfs but that might be overkill

Banes are mat 6. Press Gangers are mat 5 with gang and don't need a solo in order to hit stuff

Sir Daniel Fortesque? Is that you?

>>44057630
Shepherd isn't a terrible decision, I'd keep it if you drop the succubus to stay in tier. Healing and the extra forcing bubble is handy.

Though I do see the comedy in making your opponent kill Blightbringer 3 times.

Plus in your scenario you included hawk, according to you, a solo they need to be effective.

Bane thralls are just as potent without The Sauce. Especially since things with high arm (warders) don't typically have stellar defense

I have to add that that level of bullshit was from WMH Evangelicals at the time where they were fueled by extreme rage from GW Codex Creep and WH Fantasy Edition changes.

Once things calmed down, that lie no longer got told anymore.

That's never been a promise. Decent list building has always been a required skill. You've never been able to just toss random crap on the table.

Does any one have expirence running p grissel without jannisa? I want to run her as my cryx drop and I think just using her fell calls and only getting calamity out on her feat turn is enough, but I am not confident.

At 28/50 pts atm for the first cyriss list. I got rid of eradicators cuz... syntherion. Currently sitting on:
Syntherion
Diffuser
Galvaniser
2 Mitigator
Assimilator
Cipher

Algorithm opifex
Attunement servitor

I guess I need more opifex directives and another heavy jack.

What you guys think? I want to push it to tier 4 eventually
>>
>>44062820
I like the no orders part of her feat, and I really like playing Long Riders. She really turns on long riders.

>>44062736
That's what everyone expects. I have taken games off good players simply because they did not know what pGrissel does.
>>
>>44063680
>She really turns on long riders.
So does Jarl.
>>
>>44061849
press gangers, with hawk, comes to 8 points. And if you wanted you could bring another unit of 'gangers for just another 6 points and they'd be pretty much just as effective, because hawk only needs to be kind of nearby, she doesn't have any sort of targeted buff.

Banes are 8 points base. Giving them tough takes another 3. So 'gangers+hawk Stealth is fucking back-breaking to some lists but there are more and more things that don't give a shit about stealth these days.

And if stealth isn't an issue, there are enough situations where I'd rather be 13/12+tough than 12/15. I'm not saying banes won't kill shit they get into melee with, because they obviously will. But you can jam your pressgangers into a unit of warders and tarpit them with your annoyingly cheap, advance deploy, tough dudes, AND they'll be killing warders while they do it
>>
>>44063828
While I think hoof it protects the long riders better than jarl, I am intrigued enough to try it out. Could be a good home for horgal too.Also screw auto correct on names.
>>
>>44061775
Tarter Sauce and Riders have curse: +2" move and +2 to attack.
>>
>>44063828
As an avid jarl player, I dislike lr with him.Quicken is usually overkill and jarl needs muscle tthat's good after the charge. For the 16pt long rider package, I would rather have the champ boat.
>>
>>44063680
>I have taken games off good players simply because they did not know what pGrissel does.
Then those aren't very good players

Neither of those are Bane Thralls, which are trash

Huh, I never thought about it, but X-wing really killed my interest in my Scyrah army.

>>44065470
I'm the same. I picked up X-wing and I've kind of lost interest in Warmahordes.

I've been playing X-wing for about 6 months and Warmahordes for ~2 years. So at this point I'm not sure if I like X-wing more just because it's new to me.

Not that anon... But
"Tactically sound" good players.

It's one thing to outthink someone in terms of positioning and response. It'd be another to have every warnoun memorized and anti gotcha'd

>>44065470
Yeah I recall after playing WMH for a few years the rush when I realized how many other good game systems there are out there.
>>
>>44063357
Corollary. Corollary Corollary Corollary.

Past that, I'd look at dropping one of he Mitigators. I get that you're building up, and you don't need to do it right away, but it's something to consider.

Past that, I'd consider a Monitor or an Inverter for your next heavy. Monitor gives you another gun, Inverter gives you an excellent way of ending your synergy chain.


ADOs are worth having at least two of, one to sacrifice, and one for swapping Hot Shot.
>>
maybe its me but I feel that warmahordes....

as a basic ruleset makes more sense in lower pt games like 25

but meta wise focuses too much on 50pts since Faction weaknesses are too highlighted in lower point games (and fucking gorshade 1 utterly ruins low point games). however at 50pts also gives a lot of room to skew like crazy.

maybe I'm talking out of my ass. honestly I would love the idea of playing a 100pt game for shits in giggles but that would eat up an entire day and also involve 2-3 colossals on both sides

I think you might be confusing WM/H with Infinity. WM/H was always unapologetically a game where lists mattered. It just ain't so to the detriment of in-game strategy.

Now Infinity is a lot more forgiving toward lists cobbled together, but even then it isn't entirely.
>>
>>44065217
It's actually really easy to get gotcha'd by pGrissel. She is not very popular. All 3 doomies, eMadrak, both grims, calandra, pBorka, and eGrissel are lists more on people's radar then pGrissel. On top of that, her feat is just wierd to play against. I have seen many players freak out when my whole army moves at the end of my turn. Also, the no orders/ no spells part ruins the flow of a turn where it can get an opponents all out of sorts. So for even against good players, they may just not have the reps you need to play against pGrissel.
>>
>>44065816

If you're playing a pickup game infinity isn't too bad. If you're playing ITS though your list is very important and has to be built along specific lines to do well.

I know you guys hate infinity players, but that meta is just sooooo much more fun to play with in my area.

Also starting up guild ball soon, lol
>>
>>44063357

you need a corolary, 2 more algorythmic dispersion optifex, and 2 optifex directive for tier 4 so start with that.

look into modulators, they are great for his feat and synergy helps them a lot.

Yeah, how dare they speculate about the effectiveness of a model in a game where things have stats that tell you how good they are at doing things, thereby allowing someone with proper knowledge of the system to accurately predict how they'll do. The nerve!

>how dare they speculate about the effectiveness of a model in a game where things have stats that tell you how good they are at doing things, thereby allowing someone with proper knowledge of the system to accurately predict how they'll do
If you assume this is true, how do your reconcile this withe all the bad models PP releases?
>>
>>44070756
What?

He said nothing about the model being good, at all.

He said people speculate on if it will be good, based on it's stats and abilities.
>>
>>44070821
>y allowing someone with proper knowledge of the system to accurately predict how they'll do
>proper knowledge
>accurately predict how they'll do
Therefore, if PP had proper knowledge, they would now if a model would do poorly in most circumstances(AKA be bad)
>>
>>44070891
A model might not be good in every situation wich is why you would want to analyse it. For example I would take both of the collossals with gaspy3, but not with eGaspy.
