Previous thread: >>47699014
My issue with Grot Banshees is how much space their models take up in foam due to the wings.
hellmouth waifu <3
nrelated to mk3, my friend is gonna be kicking up an IKRPG game and i'm sort of new to the system. I wanna make someone hard hitting and tough, how are iron fangs in the RPG as a career? I was thinking of making an iron fang/military officer for someone who can hit hard, take a hit, and maybe do somecombat buffs.
Any more thoughts on this?

I've switched to magnets due to the number of nails and tusks on my models. Now I can hold my whole army upside down, even the old metal models.
>>47712562
should work fine. just make sure to go skilled if you arent gonna be the brains of the operation. mighty is only better if you really need better self-healing for some reason
>>47712602
I was mostly thinking mighty or skilled, mighty for defender and righteous anger as a combination.
>>47712562
i hear bad things about the RPG system trying to be too much like the TT system, to its detriment. life spirals make things all look flimsy including PCs :\
>>47712651
Thats only the beginning of it. Imagine an Xray vision spell that only thinks about how it ignores LOS for ranged attacks. Not about how you know, your looking through walls!
>>47712639
skilled is better 90% of the time, regardless of what you are doing because its archetype benefits are ridiculous. virtuoso, swashbuckle, defensive strike, sidestep...i ran two mighty characters in a row before figuring that out. vendetta is a necessity if you really want to go that way, its your feat point engine.
>>47712590
Not sure I like the BM package, but it warrants testing.
>>47712797
The DM really doesn't like Virtuoso and has effectively softbanned it. I can take it, but i'd feel like a real heel if I did use it, so is Skilled still worth it if I avoid it?
>>47712828
yeah it's mostly there to shoot out flankers and be gross on feat turn. being only FURY 6 it's also a way to get a couple more beasts on the board, POW 13 + 4d6 on the (free) charge followed up with two 13+3d6 isn't awful.
My Grandma just died and I'm really upset. She bought me this Warhound titan right before she died and it means a lot to me. Do you think the TO would be okay if I used it as a Gorax? It's really sentimental to me and I want to use it in every game I play.
>>47713071
Uh, isn't a Gorax a medium base That thing is way too big, for starters.
>>47713071
oh for fucks sake fuck off with that stupid shit from the last thread, nobody cares
>>47713071
look at the size of that
>>47713158
But my grandma bought me it, don't you understand how important that is to me?
>>47713190
lol what
>>47712931
I definitely see the merits. We'll just have to see if it's too vulnerable, or if another heavy would be better.
>>47713190
only autist virgins find this shit funny
>>47713071
>being this anally devastated that someone had a good relationship with their grandfather
>>47712931
I always liked the Mistress on paper in Mk2, but squishiness combined with lack of raw power made it hard to justify her, and since the pot couldn't restock her missiles she lost a lot of value quickly.
I think that the pot changes and shredders being better at killing stuff makes her more promising, so I'd definitely say this is worth trying out.
>>47713071
Try harder, bub.
From the looks of it you are really triggered, autist. I forgot about that and here you are again, providing me with joy from your butthurt! Brilliant!
By the way know what you have in common with Gorax? You are both gaining power from your anal pains.
Please provide rules leak, scan, pdf, please provide something or the hype is gonna kill me. i do not want to hear the grandpa heirloom stuff again.

I am *really* stoked for this guy. Can't wait to try him out, especially in a Kreoss2 army. All exemplars, every day. And Fire of Salvation, I guess.

Any shenanigans you guys have in mind?
Anyone mind helping with 3e Vayl1?
Here's an almost straight port of THE list:
Points: 75/75
Vayl, Disciple of Everblight (+27 pts)
-Ravagore (19 pts)
-Seraph (14 pts)
-Scythean (18 pts)
-Typhon (24 pts)
Blighted Nyss Raptors (Full, 18 pts)
Forsaken (4 pts)
Forsaken (4 pts)
Spell Martyr (1 pt)
But I don't know if that's the best way to play her anymore. Her defensive capabilities are weakened, and Incite more widely applicable.
so what are some cheese lists you guys assume you will see the first few months... i've heard
-madrack2 waaagh-like
-sloan snipe
-venethrax mass flying jacks
-mass juggs
-thag1 revive
any others and anymore specifics about these?
>>47713743
Banshees. Banshees for days. You can get them to effective RAT9 POW14 with 10 8" sprays. SPD7 with wings and gunfighter. Force barrier keeps them safe from drifting AOE, bring the solo and keep them safe from most direct shooting too. Something like this (I made it in like two seconds but it's a start):
Legion Army - 75 / 75 (+27) points
Vayl, Disciple of Everblight [+27]
- Typhon [24]
- Scythean [18]
- Scythean [18]
- Seraph [14]

LOL
ride the lightning
>>47714211
>>47713560
Seraph yes. Typhon, eh. You need to be able to reliably generate enough fury to fill both up while having transfer targets. This list also lacks a real heavy - Zuriel doesn't cut it.
You don't need that much Fury management either. I'd lose the Shepherd.
eTwins +24
-Zuriel -18
-Scythean -18
-Seraph -14
-Raek -8
-Naga -8
Shepherd x3 -3
BFS -9
Swordsmen + UA -21
The Shepherds will mostly hang out with the Naga and Seraph, you’ll need to use fury to clear the others.
>>47713743
Put her in cover or on a hill. Block some LOS. She will largely be OK I think. No Rampager means you can hold more transfers. Not getting a feat move isn't the end of the world.
I'm not sold on the Ravagore. I'd probably trade it for some combination of
-Annyssa
-Banshees
-Swordsmen + UA
And get a Shepherd friend or two for the Seraph. Maybe trading out one of the Forsaken/
>>47713923
You're missing nothing, I'm just retarded. I think they're still incredibly good with her.
>>47714452
i'm on a swordsmen kick with basically everything haha but i can see how they would be
>>47714486
There are very few losers with the new Incite. I think that Banshees are just very cost effective and easier to deliver. Swordsmen will definitely do a lot more work if you can get them there safely though. I can get behind both options, and I like that she has a lot more flexibility than before.
>>47714577
Banshees, I'm just thinking does the list really need more sprays on top of Typhon, or could it benefit from more cracking. POW 14 isn't really going to crack a heavy, but they will absolutely shred lights with several of them
>>47713765
For Khador I can suggest: jack box spam, mow box spam, min wgrc+rockets spam, Irusk2 any infantry spam, Harkevich arcing fire blast spam.
>>47714588
The list I threw together is definitely spray-heavy, but it's not exactly lacking armor cracking either. 2 Scytheans and Typhon is pretty good at destroying anything you need it to. The banshees are cheap chaff that can do surprising work against enemy screens, or get unexpected shots on second line squishies.
I'm a bit rusty on how warbeast packs work.
Do Blight Wasps benefit from Beth's feat by themselves?
Vayl2: can she be salvaged? Can't really call her spell list BAD, but it's certainly a lot weaker. Any list ideas?
>>47714698
Unfortunately not, as they count as a unit comprised of warbeasts/grunts, but not warrior models, so they can't trigger it off of each other. They are warbeasts though, so you can have them run and spread out on any target you need to jam your swordsmen/raptors/whatever into to trigger the feat flank for cheap.
>>47714698
they're not warrior models.
Conflict Chamber dude.
>>47714736
Seraphs and Scytheans with boundless charge are not bad tech. Bring a cheap screen and pot if you want. Raptors can still do a lot of work for her (occultation on them is very good) - they could before but you couldn't take them in theme so you rarely ever saw it.
Her personal assassination potential is somewhat reduced against some things, but against lower ARM warlocks, and with the new overboosting mechanics, she can force a lot of transfers/overboost spending and enable a second piece to come in and finish the job, as she can nickel and dime with a series of cheap nukes instead of just dropping a wad right on their head.
>>47714760
so he is uuuh
>>47714793
A Merc, I'd say. The Partisan rule doesn't really matter here in a listbuilder at the moment.
>>47714888
No, just thinking use for him
>>47714917
Hot Meal. Stryker2.
>>47714790
Thrown together, probably not great
>>47715002
you don't need this much fury mgmt. 1 forsaken and a shepherd would probably suffice.
vayl wants a raek.
>>47715023
Why a Raek? Not like she can use it as an Arc Node.
>>47714917
Miserable pony mountain.
>>47715052
She can actually...auto hit trumps auto miss
anyway ECR made it even better for facilitating assassination via flying headbutt
>>47715101
the shit cygnar is getting is truly absurd
>>47715182
This is Vayl2, who must actually hit her target.
>http://conflictchamber.com
Can't add Soulless Escorts to House Ellowuyr Swordsmen
>>47715182
The issue is that it's going to be way out of her RNG, even if you brought a bolt thrower for 12" oraculi shenanigans, but you're not bringing it to be an arc node, you'd be bringing it for extreme flanking maneuvers.
>>47715002
I'm not 100% on the double hellmouth, but mostly because no one has really played it yet to see if 1 or 2 is enough.
I'm not sure if 2 forsaken is needed, but I'm not sure what you would trade it for.
>>47715211
ahhh my mistake
>>47715002
i don't think Vayl2 really does much for the helmouth. vayl1 though sure does.
How are Sword Knights in 3E? I still have a unit of them and I wanna use them again.
>>47715422
They can DEF skew pretty hard, and more jacks in play means more Flank.
>>47715429
Ahh nice, they kept flank you say! Yea 3E is Jack edition, so this should be nice.
>>47715455
why would they ever lose flank
>>47715464
I as thinking maybe they got back Rapid Strike.
First for Carnage was pMakeda's best spell anyway and she still has it, along with a 4" template she can drop on infantry. And infantry on the charge actually hit harder with her now because they go the same distance as with Savagery, but get an extra dice on top now. The main annoyance is losing Press Forward stacking with Savagery, but +2SPD is already enough to win you most charge battles since premeasuring is a thing now. Nihilators threat 13" which is more than most factions can muster. Then when your MAT9 PS12+3d6 Nihilators clear the first wave, they have +2DEF against ranged and magic attacks. Doesn't seem THAT bad. Subjugation of Will is her only spell that looks outright bad, besides her feat of course. All Makeda variants also still retain the ability to cleave through models with Molik Karn, although assassinations are out of the whole fucking question now. You can't 11" advance your way in so have to charge, which now means forcing because Enrage got nerfed, which means 1 less attack on top of already going down from 5 to 4 fury. Fuck man.
>capacitor discharge
Just... what? What is this? Why?
>>47715419
I'm open to suggestions, or discussion if you'd like to post your own take. It's a brave new world of listbuilding n' all.
>>47712829
Has he also banned warcasters using Bonded weapons? Because if not he's a super retard and needs to be punched in the dick.
>>47715566
Plasma Nimbus (and Capacitor) appears to be boostable now. But Direct Current doesn't.
>>47715566
His Servitors make it effective POW12, so it can put a few points on some heavies, might save you an attack here and there. It also makes it effectively impossible to Tough, because if you tough the initial hit you then take d3 POW12s to the face and die anyway.
>>47715663
If your colossal is punching Tough infantry then I think it's a victory for the opponent.
>>47715629
Plasma Nimbus doesn't usually occur during your activation, which is required (in mk2) to boost.
>>47715730
It's a thing that happens. It also won't have to kill more than one or two of them anyway because Plasma Nimbus will just fucking kill most infantry that get uppity about punching it.
>>47715613
I don't see the point of running Iron Kingdoms and banning anything. Isn't the whole point that everything is a broken unbalanced mess?
>>47715613
No one is making one, and the DM has discussed not allowing them but recognizes they are kind of integral and just said that if someone does make a warcaster, then that's something they'd deal with when we got there.
>>47715566
>>47715663
It also means it's one of the nastiest attacks in the game to punch a warnoun with.
Thoughts on my first draft?
Kodiak poops clouds in front of Karchev. Sylys upkeeps Road To War for him. Mechaniks heal any ranged damage he takes/are targets for Eruption if he needs more clouds.
Widowmakers and Behemoth shoot squishy thing to proc Road To War.
Field guns shoot heavies to mess with focus/fury and make charges fun.
>>47715863
>> sees a sloan list
>> doesnt see even a single hunter in it
>>sees multiple heavy jacks on a caster i thought i was about jack spam
>>pleasantly surprised but still thinks that list will get its shit slapped
>>47715863
Switch Defender for Dynamo or Thunderhead. Sloan needs either multishot jacks or a lot of small ones.
What's the point of 2 captains?
>>47714760
Added.
>>47715266
>>47715002
>>47715863
What OS/browser are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I'm not seeing the save-as-image clipping the bottom of the image on the stuff I test on (which is mostly Chrome and Firefox for Windows and Linux).

>>47716138
Firefox on Windows 10
>>47715781
There is no point, but if he's going to be a retard and ban stuff he should at least be consistent in his mental deficiency.
>>47715916
I'd upgrade 1 or both juggies to kodiaks for big cloudwall or take 3 berserkers insted. Between Karchev, Behemoth and Beast you already have enough melee to kill heavies, juggies will be underfocused damage sponges at this point.
I don't think Wyshnalyr is worth it unless you're actively casting stuff.
>>47716243
Thats good point on the kodiaks.
Honestly was focussing on stuff I own, but I like that idea so I'll probably upgrade them at some point down the line
>>47716126
Shadow Fire to clear LOS to their caster.
>>47716018
What do you think could be improved?
>>47713071
that ain't no warhound son.
please take your bait and go.
I wonder if Khador got skornergy in the form of Kovnik Joe and Irusk. Both of these models have Battle Plans, and a unit can only be affected by one Battle Plan per turn. I'm not sure if that means one on each card, or one altogether in the presence of various Battle Plans.
>>47716406
Since Khador isn't all about Winter Guard anymore, it should be fine for Irusk to throw his plans on Black Dragons or Doom Reavers or something.
>>47712477
I asked this in the last thread and got a lot of helpful responses but none were the answer I was looking for:
Is there anywhere online I can look at the Mark 2 theme lists for casters that weren't covered in the faction books?
I'm looking specifically for Intercessor Kreoss and Servath Reznik Wrath of Ages. I'm aware that any Mk II theme lists are going to be illegitimate day after tomorrow, but I still want the lists.
Can anyone help me out please?
>>47715863
Ok lets be real, you need at least like 2 or 3 Hunters in a Sloan list. Their damage output from range is equal or better than a Defender against most relevant targets.
>>47716406
having options is not the same thing as skornergy, why is that so difficult for people to understand?
>>47716406
>skornergy
In mk3 it's called having options.
>>47715863
Sloan is one place where a Journeyman might be a legitimately bad idea, unless you're bringing a Stormwall. The entire idea behind her is you should be able to ventilate the main threats to your heavies at range.
>>47716436
http://aeyrulon.blogspot.ca/2012_10_01_archive.html
>>47716366
i mean as i see it sloan is a gimicky bs assassination caster and thats how i would play her. I would drop both the captains the defender and one grenadier and run 3 hunters and find 2 pts... but like i said i dont know if that is a fun list
>>47716366
1 is probably enough for that,
>>47716446
>>47716490
Hmmm, I can nix the two of them (the Journeyman and his Jack) to net 12 points.
>>47716505
Perhaps.
Here's another draft, basically taking what you guys said into account.
>>47716503
>>47716366
id also look to get a sentinel or possibly triumph in her battlegroup as appose to the jwc like >>47716490 said... just for the shield guard and spell efficiency
>>47716500
Quick, helpful, easy, and exactly what I'm looking for?
Are we still on /tg/?
Much appreciated, anon. Thank you.
>>47715566
The only thing I can see is that servitor and harm with backlash up means that two punches to a colossal could be anywhere from 4-8 backlash hits on a caster.
Still one of the worst colossal rules in the game.
>>47715916
I have a list that's pretty similar to yours. I didn't go with the field guns, they seem like an interesting combination. Here's what I went with.
Khador Army - 75 / 75 (+30) points
Karchev the Terrible [+30]
- Behemoth [24]
- Juggernaut [12]
- Juggernaut [12]
- Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker [4]
- Kodiak [13]
- Torch [18]
Widowmaker Scouts [8]
Battle Mechaniks (min) [3]
Koldun Lord [4]
Greylord Ternion [7]
>>47715847
funny, i'd think a boosted pow 21+ would be that :P
>>47716193
needs more blight bringer.
the spears nerf is not even worth mentioning considering their main target is heavies.
>>47716570
u have to have shield guard in some form id think either sentinel or triumph... im not a fan of thunderhead
>>47716665
And sustained attack is much better on an enemy caster over the d3 hits. And the axiom can spawn the servitors as well, so the Conflux can't even lay claim to boosting electrical models
>>47716637
I do agree with an earlier guy thought that sylys might not be doing a ton.
He'll give an extra point of focus to let someone get a buy in, but for 4 points a marksman or field gun might be a better choice.
>>47715578
i might. vayl2 is pretty low on my priority list though. i've been posting a buch of legion lists today and have been focusing a lot on khador the past few.
There been any more main rule book spoilers?
>>47715663
dice minus six minimum on heavies is nothing to get excited about. buying those 21 attacks is what will do it.
>>47716303
Another option would be to downgrade juggies to marauders. They have same survivability, with only 1 focus available will deal about the same damage, but also will slam stuff around.
And those 4 points is another solo.
So isn't L&L going in full bore right now? Where are the book scans? Where's the announcement livestream?
>>47713765

He updated it. So it had things like Calandra's EE tier.
>>47717052
Kossites get Prowl triggered from fog of war. And if vs a low armor caster, the new power field mechanic is very advantageous to death by paper cut. Have those guys for barely more than a point each ambush in on feat turn and strip focus or put some damage on to ensure a kill. Or if feating for attrition, they come in and wipe out support.
Meg gives the talon pathfinder and reposition, which are both huge for it. And then double stationary with sorscha having shatter.
>>47717127
repo is a great point. I was thinking the talon would be in a bad spot after it stationaried something, but if it can just walk away, yeah.
What do people think of Kryssa? Trying to put together a potential list for her.

"Save as image" and "Copy to clipboard" (icons on the menu below the list) both work on Android (although, honestly, it's not a big target platform because, well, War Room is a thing). Haven't tested it on iOS because I don't own an iOS device.
>>47717052
Meg can make a jack stationary at range and can repair Merc jacks. She's also only 3 points. Her drive, in the context of MK3 drives, is solid. Pathfinder + reposition.
The key is the JM bonuses. One of them makes a jack charge and gives it +2 to hit. So that Talon is now MAT 8 on the charge attack which will be the spear.
If it wasn't that useful then it wasn't that many points and the Talon can tangle up part of the enemies list. If Meg can avoid getting shot to death then she can also repair it.
DESU there may be other merc JMs worth taking in Khador but that's what Meg + Talon do in MK3.
>>47717440
Mat 10. Fucker has powerful charge.
>>47717089
Good shit, thanks.
First glance, doesn't look like she's changed much. Biggest thing is Cultists are actually usable.
Idk if they work the same as they did, but if I took a unit of Press Gangers as my cultists, I should be able to keep refreshing my potential free upkeeps, right. This also seems like good synergy with Alexia, right? Idk if she's any different.
I'm thinking Press Gangers, pAlexia, Galleon/Mule/other artillery Eeyris, maybe Long gunners and Kayazay since I read that contacts are gone.
Am I on the right track?
>>47717342
I'm not sold on the deathstalkers just because her feat boosts STR, not POW.
Posted this earlier:
Kryssa +31
-Scythean +18
-Angelius -17

-Raek -8
Beast Mistress -4
-Shredder -4
-Shredder -4
Forsaken x1 -4

BM package was mentioned to be questionable, but warrants testing.
>>47717635
though I will note the 5-point damage swing on feat turn is pretty clutch.
>>47717635
I admit the stalkers are there for some anti infantry over anything else, it just feels like I needed something to clear them.
Just updated conflictchamber.com to display the short names for casters in the faction list and army list.Also, how does this Cygnar list look?
>>47717925
Soulless Escorts can't be attached to Ellowuyr Swordsmen in Ret
Also, its Lys Healer - you have it currently as Lyr
How's this list look?
Khador Army - 75 / 75 (+28) points
(Vladimir 1) Vladimir Tzepesci, The Dark Prince [+28]
- Spriggan [19]
- Juggernaut [12]
- Juggernaut [12]
- War Dog [3]
Black Dragons (max) [17]
- Black Dragon Officer & Standard [4]
Doom Reaver Swordsmen [13]
Winter Guard Rifle Corps (max) [13]
- Winter Guard Rocketeer (3) [6]
Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich [4]
I made sure to make the list with models I actually already have. Idea is to shove doom reavers and robots in their face and plink their infantry with super accurate S&P plus boosted via Joe shots. Since the rifles can combine, they can actually maybe even do damage against stuff with more armor now, too. Black dragons do iron fang stuff.
>>47717925
nice work, way easier to use now
>>47718032
Fixed, thanks for the report.
>>47718110
Downgrade spriggan to drago, invest points into winter guard mortar
Mortar with S&P pow 10 blast is going to be legit af
>>47717635
I mean not everything needs to benefit from the feat to be useful - DS's are always good in a list if you want to take advantage of their infantry mulching prowess, which might be useful in his list. The Scythean can clear infantry pretty well but since it's his only frontline beast, he may need it to take on a heavy target the swordsmen might not be able to get to. Dunno though, hard to say since I've obviously not played a game with Kryssa yet.
>>47718204
Ah, I don't actually have drago. I could change the iron fangs to the regular ones and cut the dog to get the mortar in, though. Does that sound decent?
>>47718353
I would never take iron fangs in mk3 without the kovnik, and at that point may as well go with great bears.
If you don't go with a full boat you should use black dragons.
>>47717595
How does this look? Keep in mind that I haven't played in a few years.
Anyone manage to extract the art assets from War Room 2 for Captain Aiakos or Sovereign Durant yet?
>>47718943
Captain Aiakos. Nice. More piratey Cryx is awesome.
Do we know how day 1 masters went?
Since the War Room 2 file size was around 300mb, I'm assuming that the card data is preinstalled and locked behind a paywall.
Would it be unreasonable to assume that some tech savvy anon, with enough time and patience, could crack the app and reveal all of its goodies from behind the paywall?
>>47719228
I read on the forums that full install was like 1.3 gigs or something
>>47719288
Yeesh, never mind on that then.
>>47719304

Alright, this is my first try at a Circle list, how did I do?
>>47719365
Fucking stupid.
I swear, PP is the best company I've ever seen....at not vetting their electronic vendors before whoring out their IP.
Tinkerhouse is a fucking joke, there is no reason for a card game install to be over 1 gig, I don't give a shit what he says.
I'd bet a paycheck after enough fury from PP/customers, suddenly 'they'll find a way'. That is to say, they'll fucking recognize how to do something they should have known from the get go.
Not really mad, just flabbergasted how piss poor PP handles its brand at times. Will S. or whatever the hell his name is a gamer trying to be a businessman and it shows.

>>47720566
Farrow.
>>47720566
ultramarines
>>47720566
Skorne
In order to have a whac with Mk3 rules u could help here http://schlaf.github.io/whac_online/whac_editor.html update the databse for mk3.
You pick a model to edit. Then you search a for a spell/ability already om the db. If it's not there u add it. Then you click and "copy" button and paste it. If it's ready u pick Mk3 done!
>>47720566
Skorne. Then for bonus snowflake points play Makeda1 rhinodon spam
>>47719585
Tinker made the app in unity, so it's relatively a bloated mess.
>>47720788
Yeah, this is the part that makes no sense to me. Unity is cool, but it's for making games, not database apps. Using a game engine to build something like war room seems incredibly stupid and lazy
Rolled 1 (1d3)
1. Cygnar
2. Menoth
3. Cryx
>>47720853
Congratulations. If you're picking a faction, that might be the luckiest roll you make.
>>47720950
Why's that? Still might not even go with it because I think the Menoth models look really cool.
>>47720976
insane amount of buffs, and the only nerfs came down on Haley2 but shes still super good
>>47718152
Really digging the new caster/lock naming format. Both number and title that way looks cool and helps pick the one you want more quickly
>>47721009
How are Menoth?
>>47721035
menoth have done pretty well in mk3 as well by a first glance, i don't think you'd be unhappy with them
>>47721035
heretical as fuck
>>47716691
How about Ragman instead of Sylys?
>>47721035
They copped quite a few nerfs but don't completely suck.
Shit, going over it, they really lost a bit.
Choir lost attack buff
Monolith bearer minifeat is worse
Bastions lost 3 boxes each, which hurts them a lot
Vassal lost ancillary attack
Reckoner lost assault
Errants got changed for what feels like the worse
eKreoss lost his AP
At least the redeemer fires massive missile barrages.
>>47721361
Paladins of the Wall got a very nice buff in Shield Guard and the new Darmon upgrade for them.
>>47721375
Huh. That they did, I missed that.
>>47721402
Yeah, they are now a really cheap (Relatively speaking) protection piece for your fragile stuff. Hunters are not going to do much through the +5 arm after halving.
It's nice that they now actually do some protection of others, not just themselves.
>>47721375
Where did they gain shield guard?
I don't see it on their card.
>>47721716
>>47721375
Vilmonster has Shield Guard, but the rest don't
>>47721795
I thought so. Paladins having Shield Guard would have actually made them good.
>>47721825
They're pretty good anyway
So no one has the book yet?
>>47722354
Pre-release stuff is still a couple hours away at the earliest.
>>47721361
So they suck just not completely? That's not very reassuring.
>>47720816
One part style over substance (we want it to look purrrrty) and one part laziness (we want cross-platform without doing any real work).
>>47722535
and the worst part is, they then artificially restrict the platforms it's available on... there's no reason not to have a Unity app run on OS X and Windows as well.
>>47722434
The other guy is naysaying a lot, Mk3 changes are a salt mine for people who only want a handful of changes they think need done, and not much that other people think need doing.
Mk3 is launching with a full rebalance across the board, with everything being nerfed or buffed respectively, re-costed and most important given specific roles so there's less direct competition with choices. This is going to be one of the most balanced times to get into the game, and all factions are going to be relatively equal once you get past the learning hurdle.
>>47718503
Anything?
>>47722592
Seems decent for the mk2 meta, but we he amount of warjacks and warbeasts we might be seeing in the new edition I think it might struggle a bit.
>>47722623
So what would be a good way to go with Fiona, then? More jacks?
>>47722434
Eh, he's underselling it.
Almost every faction lost some stuff. Menoth was hit way less than some factions.
For starters, all of Menoths casters got better except 3. Harbinger got a Nerf that we all knew was coming and it was mostly to her feat. It makes her play different but doesn't make her bad. Kreoss2 is essentially the same except his weapon (which nobody really ever used anyway) lost armor piercing. Feora2 lost Ignite which sucks but I don't know how much it will effect her game. Also, quite a few of the jacks got better in the transition. The Guardian is a beast now (reach P+S18 spear, fuck yeah). Most of our character jacks are real solid now as well.
Everyone else got better or are about the same. Some of them got really good too.
The Protectorates Jack game took a hit but every faction gained the extra focus allocation so it's mitigated slightly. Also, quite a few of the jacks got better in the transition. The Guardian is a beast now (reach P+S18 spear, fuck yeah). Most of our character jacks are real solid now as well.
Menoth infantry lost a little bit of their staying power but stuff like Cleansers and CInnerators got more appealing. Knights Exemplar with their new UA got fucking beastly.
I feel like Menoth has more raw dmg output now but less accuracy and annoying shit which kind of sucks (I got into Menoth because I love annoying shit) but they are by no means going to be bad. They however are not Cygnar and Khador who feel like they got some really nice stuff. They also aren't Skorne who seem to have done something wrong and are being punished by PP for being the worst faction of the last edition.
>>47718204
drago is frankly bad with vlad because getting his DEF anywhere to make poltergeist useful won't happen, and he's ultimately pretty ineffective with just 1" melee. drago is only worth it with a superiority caster.
>>47720976
cyngar is clearly PP's pet faction this go around. mk3 is age of cygnar after all
>>47722700
Harry no longer has a 20" time walk and easy 2 rounds of scenario scoring against armies daring to take infantry. Shockingly PP discovered that was bad for the game. I say shockingly because their track record on knowing what is vs isn't broken is pretty terrible.
>>47722851
I did say we knew it was coming.
I still wish they would have just changed her feat entirely to have less impact but still be 20" range though.
Harbys new feat feels entirely pointless. I can't think of a reason to use it now. You might as well just have her Arc spells and hang back allocating focus all game.
>>47722973
You can still use it to deny a scenario zone or flag if you time it right, which can be pretty significant
>>47722992
I guess. It still puts her into a really unsafe position I would rather she not be in though.
Daily reminder: CoC is not a real faction
>>47722700
>>47722988
Hats unfortunate the Harbinger is one of the cooler looking models.
>>47722700
Let's see, Trolls, ignoring casters:
Beasts:
Mulg: Worse
Rok: Better/same
Bomber: Better(?)
Blitzer: Better(?)
Dozer: Better
Mauler: Same/cheaper
EBDT: Worse
Glacial King: Worse relatively speaking
MK: Better/Same relatively speaking
All light Troll beasts: Worse
Infantry:
Kriels: Worse, much more so
Fenns: Probably the same, maybe worse
Champs: Worse
Warders: Better after Mk2 Nerf
Pyg Burrowers: Hit the hardest of infantry, hot garbage
Bushwackers: Same
Highwaymen: Worse
Krielstone: Same, although probably worse when considering points
Longriders: Same
Runeshapers: Worse
Scattergunners: Same
Fireeaters: Same
Scouts: Probably the same
Sons of Bragg: Worse
Solos
Janissa: Garbage now
Braylen: Same
Fellcaller: Same
Kithkar: Slightly worse
Champ Hero: Slightly better but worse synergy
Horgle: I don't see him ever played now
Horthol: Same
Skinner: Still garbage (But hey he got Weapon Master now Soles, derp derp)
Stone Scribe: Same
Sorcerer: Better
Warwagon: Maybe better, still won't be played due to opportunity cost of heavies
>>47722700
You seem to know what you're talking about so I will ask you this. I plan on going to my local game store today after I get off work and pre ordering the Mk3 Menoth Battle Box. I don't want to walk out of their empty handed though I'd like to get started on collecting these things so are there any models you would recommend getting in the mean time? Should I just get a Mk2 Battle Box?
>>47723151
Continuing on, Casters:
Madrak 1: Worse
Madrak 2: He'll have an errata but he's awesome right now
Borka 1: Better
Borka 2: Still trash and boring. Way to go PP.
Calandra: Better
Grim 1: Worse
Grim 2: Same
Doomy 1: Better
Doomy 2: Maybe better, probably not due to Refuge/Mulg hit
Doomy 3: Worse
Gunnbjorn: Better
Grissel 1: Probably same overall, jack heavy meta probably worse
Grissel 2: Probaby same overall
Jarl: Who cares
>>47723166
Not that guy, but I played Menoth for years in Mk2. pKreoss is, and until changed, always will be good. Menoth in Mk3 got a hit to its overall accuracy, but nearly anything in faction can hit DEF 5 at Range.
With the addition of Grievous Wounds affecting all types, not just living, a Pop-N-Drop list should still be perfectly viable and an excellent and easy to pilot list.
>>47723189
Oh, and in case you aren't aware, pKreoss is the Mk2 battlebox caster. Just to be clear.
so how fucked are infantry this edition?
>>47723166
Well, Kreoss1 is still going to be good, that's for sure. The rest of the stuff in the MK1 Battle Box will still be relevant.
As for MK3, I am not sure I can accurately predict what is going to be good but, odds are you still want to buy a Choir.
I still think Exemplar Errants will be good despite everyone crying about them being terrible (hint: they aren't). So Errants+UA and probably the Errant Solo are still going to be good. Rhupert too for that matter now that he can give our Jacks pathfinder he is cash money,
A Heirophant will probably be solid still.
I wish the Indicter/Guardian box was out already, I would suggest getting one of those. Otherwise, a Redeemer is always solid for light jacks and either of the heavy kits is fine. I suggest learning how to magnetize arms though, it's really useful to let your heavies be modular.
Really, besides that, I would just say pick up a caster you think seems cool. Odds are they will be decent once you learn how they work.
>>47723242
Not fucked, but may not be as much infantry spam as mk2 with the buffs to jacks and focus
>>47723151
>>47723177
And yet, they will still be better than Skorne.
>>47723242
I figure we will be back to infantry machine by the end of the year and bitching about how we now have MORE jack points we have to fill.
>>47723266
What is UA?
>>47723607
Unit Attachment. Typically the officer+standard.
>>47723242
I figure even with the changes to bane knights, their still Cryx's best answer to armor
>>47718943
Doesn't look like there are art assets for Captain Aiakos yet. Some of the other new stuff has art assets, will post a few new (to me, at least) things shortly.
>>47723151
>All light Troll beasts: Worse
The Swamp Troll got Pull instead of Drag on his ranged weapon, Dual Attack and RAT 6 and you think he got worse?
Also, the Bouncer got better (though we still don't really have any reason to take him).
Slag also arguably got better since his animus is LITERALLY worthless, but his fists gained Erosion.
what do you think is the most hated faction
>>47723869
Whats the new slag animus, I assume it doesnt give him dark shroud
>>47723731
I wonder what kind of spell list Aiakos will have. Keeping escort and deathbrinngers would be cool
Anyone have good printable copies of the cards for Bane Witch Agathia, Tanith the Feral Song and Kryssa Conviction of Everblight? Me and some buddies are planning to play tonight before the key note and the decks I have are missing the new BB casters expect for Khador for some reason.
>>47723918
By the players or PP?
>Players
Cryx/Cygnar
>PP
Skorne
>>47723964
What does Cryx have now that others dont have?
I mean back in ye olde days of Prime 1, they were the kings of assassinations, but what about now?
>>47723964
>cygnar
I think you meant cryx/legion, so glad most of the shitters will be bailing now that we got toned down
>>47723964
As a skorne player I think PP just doesn't care about skorne.
It's also really obvious no one there actually plays the faction in any real capacity.
>>47723151
Gonna' note on some things:
>Bomber: Better(?)
His animus is actually worth casting now and he has more health so he definitely got better (and a little cheaper to boot).
>Blitzer: Better(?)
He's cheaper with better rules, but I still don't know if he's going to see play.
>All light Troll beasts: Worse
With the exception of the Swamp and the Pyre... I guess your right. The Axer also honestly didn't get worse. He got a bit cheaper and lost 1 point of ARM that nobody really cared about.
Poor Impaler. At 11 points I don't think he'll ever see play again as long as the Bomber has Far Strike.
>Kriels: Worse, much more so
This is true and it makes me so sad. They got a tiny bit cheaper, but at SPD 5 MAT 5 with no way to self buff they just aren't worth anything. They even took away Steady on the UA and made the Caber border-line worthless.
>Highwaymen: Worse
They got DEF 13 in exchange for losing Camo (but then again, Camo was taken out of the game altogether). I don't see how they got worse. They are also slightly cheaper now.
>Runeshapers: Worse
How so? I'm honestly not seeing how they got worse. If you mean Trembler is bad, then I don't really agree. I think auto-knockdown is a good trade for being able to charge and make a Tremor attack.
> Scouts: Probably the same
They're a tiny bit better now that Prowl triggers on anything that grants concealment. I hope Assault doesn't run the risk of killing your own guys anymore.
>Kithkar: Slightly worse
Honestly don't agree. I feel his Veteran Leader ability makes up for his nerfs.
>Horgle: I don't see him ever played now
Yeah, now that he can't pass out animi I have NO reason to run him.
>>47723964
>>47724000
PP does not have Skorne
They just wrote themselves into a corner by first trying to embrace the memetic skornergy and then realize that fuck this is never going to work
>>47723933
>Whats the new slag animus, I assume it doesnt give him dark shroud
It's RNG self, costs 1 and gives the spellcaster immunity:Corrosion and auto corrosion on it's melee weapons. I can't imagine why PP thought this was an okay animus. It doesn't even have the +2 damage anymore.
>>47723151
>>47723177
pretty good analysis
doomy1 is only better if you dont consider him losing his theme force... if you compare doomy1 mk3 to doomy1 with theme doomy mk3 is shit
i think both grims are better now and madrak2 is possibly the most broken thing in the game right now
also remember this guy is ignoring casters when he ranked all light beasts as worse, but he still has (correctly) calandra as better so theres still hope for your axer (also generally i think axer and pyre arent worse)
>>47723731
Hej guys. I've been a bit out of the loop for a while. I downloaded the leaks a few weeks back and then didn't bother with news anymore.
Now I played a PG yesterday and he hinted and some new units that are in the new books but haven't been leaked, yet (UA for his skorne I think). When I asked him about my mercs, he said he didn't know as he only got the hordes book(s).
Anyone know anything about this?
>>47723964
why do people hate Cygnar
>>47724157
sour grapes

he has the hat of shape
God, fuck one minute delays posting images.
>>47724145
>>47724145
We know that there are models missing from the leaked cards.
For instance Helga has an elite cadre for a unit not in the leaks. We also saw a list of card names leaked and included a UA for karax.
There probably are some unreleased models for mercs, but I don't what they are.
