Fuck Retribution warjacks, mother fuckers are so hard to make look good, there is just nothing to work with. I have an airbrush and everything is just lacking.
>>48057454
what scheme you going for?
they do look to have large smooth surfaces. you could use a pattern - airbrushing means all you need is a template of some sort. don't even need a full pattern template, just a guiding shape.
>>48057454
Just accept that Transluscent White all over is beyond you (nothing wrong with that). Go for something metalic or warm-color enameled.
In the last thread someone posted a supposedly MKIII WHAC update. I've checked and I haven't seen anything there about one coming out. Did that link actually work or was that BS?

do people not read these days?
text-to-speech warrroom when?
LGS stories? I was one of the first people to put real money down on preorders for the new decks and BBs, everyone else just puts their names on lists etc. Now that the limited stocks thing turned out to be true guess who gets first dibs? The damn regulars who don't pay on time anyways.
Fuck, I don't even have the war room app and most of them do. Guess, I'll wait to play another month or two
>>48058796
My LGS got two extra battleboxes of each faction than he had anticipated (6 Warmachine boxes, 4 Hordes boxes). I'm beginning to wonder if this limited stock story is even true.
>>48058885
My PG said canada got a total of 3 battleboxes. I find that a little hard to believe
Well I just bought a Teraph. Never thought that would happen, but the deal was so good.
>>48058885
What my LGS didn't get enough of was Faction Decks (and some battle box types). But I think the shortfall is the decks.
>>48058949
My LG had a shortage of legion, and another one had a shortage of just about everything. Apparently the distributor gave a pile of stock to some convention, and couldn't supply the stores properly now
Is there a good pdf of Mk3 faction cards? Want to proxy it up for my old models but also don't want to spend 24 bucks per faction yet
So what do people think about the Gang+Knockdown ruling? Are PP just trying to weasel out of having to update a whole host of cards, or did they genuinely intend the rules to interact in this way? And if so, why?
I've been very good and not complained about all the (largely deserved) nerfs Cryx have received, but I'm going to be really upset if the ruling holds and my Satyxis all get screwed over.
>>48059387
>did they genuinely intend the rules to interact in this way
That is just beyond unlikely.
Is this a bad time to start playing Warmahordes, with the shortages and the new edition?
Or, is this a good time and I should just look on ebay + FLGS?
>>48059387
No its a stupid accident and PP is trying to weasel out of retarded interactions.
Its a ruling so bad that you and your opponent would be willing to ignore it instantly.
Every faction has stuff that's affected negatively for this for no reason/
>>48059387
>>48059412
>>48059418
So what was the official ruling after all? Last I read, people had only just noticed the "error" and were discussing it
>>48059387
I think my meta is choosing to ignore it. And they dont have to change any cards, just the wording regarding stationary and knockdown. Its like 2 sentances
>>48059614
Infernals are claiming that Gang/Flank were tested with Knockdown and the rules are intended to be this way. PP are being torn apart over it on their official forums, so we'll see if they stick to their guns or errata it.
>>48059687
Anyone who doubted that we're sitting in the beta test right now shouldn't need any more proof
>>48059387
It's a definite weaseling. Aurora for example can't flank warjacks because she stationaries them. Great bears can't kill a frozen warjack because it got easier to hit.
Which is a higher priority in Kreoss 1 lists?
Eyriss for distruption to keep jacks, and possibly casters, out of the fight?
Or Taryn to shadowfire steady crap and black penny jammers?
>>48059387
It's not even the gang/knockdown ruling that's the studiest example of this.
Take Aurora, for example. She's got flank and stationary against warjacks on her melee weapon.
It's it's totally impossible for her to ever get the flank bonus against a warjack as this ruling stands.
And that's intentional?
>>48059764
You know what, I'm find with it being a beta. There's no replacement for the kind of playtest an entire community can give you, and it will result in a better game.
I just wish they'd admit it, and wouldn't make bullshit rulings that don't make any sense.
>>48060163
Yep, this release has been a fucking joke. With DC moving on, the kids are in charge of rules now and Soles haircut/trench coat obviously isn't enough to write good rules.
In melee vs engaged, half the fucking cards are inconsistent, stupid fucking rulings like this that make no logical sense and worse...they just fucking lie and say it was intentional. There is no FUCKING WAY it was intentional, that's just a lie. Period.
Someone post the photo of Soles playing inside with a trench coat on. It cracks me up and reminds me that this is a small gaming company with kids running it.
>>48060229
And they locked the thread.
Though, in defense of that, I doubt the mods had anything to do with this ruling, so it's not like a conspiracy.
>>48060048
Probably Eyriss.
>>48060259
Yep. Hands over ears...
I mean, look at this shit;
http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?254662-Current-Errata-Threads
That's an errata list TWO FUCKING DAYS after their official release. That's sad. And some of those rulings are just bizarre. The Gang ruling obviously. Or how about the Frenzy Warbeast ruling. If he frenzies, he makes one basic attack. Oh but stuff can trigger off it like Overtake and Snacking. Oh but stuff that may grant an attack can't trigger off that one.
Ok...
I'm new to CoO and Hordes in general. Are there any "must have" models to pick up for them besides Shifting Stones?
>>48060478
Stalker
Ghetorix
Gorax
Bloodtrackers + Nuala
Wilder
>>48060507
>Gorax
You mean Feral
Layer up from gray, or start with white and do a 7-1 gray to water wash on the transitions and curves on those ret jack shoulder pads.
>>48061044
Always layer up if you want to go for white. White does not take well to washing. Of course you should use an airbrush if at all possible.
>>48059418
>>48059412
>>48059687
You know, I went and looked.
Everything changed from melee range to engaged, flank, gang, etc.
So it's entirely possible this change WAS intentional.
Which is fucking mind boggling.
>>48061557
Well, of course the change was intentional. But I doubt the actual target of that change was Gang and Flank and such. They may have just been collateral damage.
>>48061667
Except there's nothing else effected.
>>48061557
The thing is, it also changed charging. You can't charge a knocked down model because you can't be engaged with it. But when people asked about that, the Infernals confirmed it was a mistake and would be changed in the errata.
And even if the Gang/KD thing was intended, why? It's illogical and doesn't seem to serve any kind of balance purpose.
>>48061758
Never said it made sense, just that it might be them going "You don't understand out game" instead of "Shit, we fucked up."
>>48060478
Consider the Kreugers and Kromacs.
Any of the starter sets is a pretty good bargain, I think Tanith looks really good, but I don't play circle so take that with a grain of salt.
>>48060644
>pay 18 for a heavy that either trades and loses my access to primal or just sits back and supports
>or just pay 7 for a support light
Seven
>>48061981
Sits back and supports and then deals damage when you need it is better than sits back and supports and does nothing else light.
Check the texas tournament lists - not a gorax in sight
>>48062021
Ferals are great but you end up accidentally getting like two over you Circle career so I don't know if they count as must buys

Accidentally getting them? I know you got one you don't need in the battlebox, but where would you get the second one accidentally?

I legit don't care for once if I lose. I just want to make sure my logic is solid.
>>48062221
Probably from the MK3 battlebox.
>>48062296
Shooting lists will eat you alive. Other than that you should be fine. Swordsmen and Raptors will do really well in MK3, assuming of course the former don't get looked at sternly by a guy with a gun.
Have Infernals said anything about WSC and Goreshade1 or Witch Coven?
>>48062351
Why? Attachments for warcaster units just work like for any other warcaster.
>>48062378
Prime says that they can have attached solos, doesn't mention units at all. Same with the Coven's own rule.
>>48062414
Huh. Well that is more of a clarification than a distinct rule. The Warcaster rules say that Warcasters can have an attachment and the Warcaster unit rules state nothing to the contrary.
I'd say it doesn't change anything, it's just shoddily written.
>>48061557
The only thing I've seen that works still is Zaadesh's Tag Team, which says another model in the battlegroup has to have the enemy model in it's melee range, not for it to be engaged like everything else.
>>48057066
>textuploader <dot> com / 5wm4h

... wtf wmh general wtf.
>>48062221
>oh you play circle? Want my old super fucking ugly metal feral? Thanks
I have three in total
Metal one, plastic one (love it), extreme one (it was half off)
>>48060478
The Mk3 battlebox is good, and includes a top-tier caster.
The Mk2 battlebox is good, but it includes a trash-tier caster, but you may be able to find it on clearance, so pick one up if you see it.
You'll want shifting stones and the stone keeper. You want a Warpwolf Stalker. You probably want a Druid Wilder. You want a Blackclad Wayfarer. You probably want two. You want a pair of Gallows Groves (which is handy, as their blister includes two).
Beyond Tanith, you want Krueger2 ("Krueger the Stormlord"), probably Kromac2 ("Kromac, Champion of the Wurm"). If you get Kromac2, you *definitely* want Ghetorix. You probably want Ghetorix anyway. Morvahna2 ("Morvahna the Dawnshadow") is still quite good, regardless of whining about her, but she wants a lot of infantry to thrive, and they're more expensive than beasts, so she's probably not the best to start with -- Tanith does love some Reeves of Orboros, but they're not the kind that Morvahna2 really wants to work with anyway.
>>48062296
Zuriel isn't worth it after what they did to him.
Just go with a standard heavy.
>>48063038
Thought I was in the adeva thread for a second there.
>>48057454
Metalic worked well for me.
Shop is doing a journeyman league for Mk3, I ain't entering because I really don't want to buy theSkornebattlebox but I told them I'll give people games using the Mk2 box which funnily enough comes out at 0 points too. We're most likely going to ignore retarded shit in Mk3 for a while. Like today I went to charge a knocked down beast with my caster and was kindly reminded that I'd fail that charge. Like seriously just fuck off.
>>48063349
They've already said charge is being changed to end in melee range instead of end engaged ofr the movement
>>48063349
That one was ruled as wrong a couple of days ago so whoever said it and eat shit, though gang/flank bullshit is still there (not defending PiP and their "we swear we didn't fuck up" backpeddling though)
>>48061981
>he doesn't understand the concept of reserve heavy

You didn't think that half a point discount to bloody bradigan was free, did you?
>>48062327
Lol well what's the alternative?
I never felt like Legion had much shooting denial that shooting factions couldn't trivially circumvent.
>>48063038
I'd like to try him out as an assassination threat more than anything, otherwise I'd switch em out for Scyther or Ravagore.
So, trying to plan out a Malekus list, this is my current (pre-Revelator) iteration.
Not sure if I should drop the Idrian boat for 2x Knights Exemplar. Still pondering the Ignite target for the list, but I like (and have) everything except the Idrians.
Any full copies of prime and primal about?
>>48060229
DC?
>>48064185
Doug Seacat.
Guy who designed Convergence, and likely one of their best designers.
>>48064207
He stopped designing rules? What the fuck.
>>48064207
Uh, DC and Doug Seacat are different people.
Coming from a MtG background, the rules for Warmahordes seem like a complete clusterfuck. Today we spent about 10 minutes trying to find where in the book it said what collateral damage was. Like, there's about 10 different references to collateral, but instead of actually saying 2d6+STR in brackets or something, it just leaves you in the dark unless you find that only small reference on the correct page.
>>48064316
This. David carl is DC
>>48064368
Stop skimming. Actually read the entire rule where relevant.
>>48064185
David Carl. Normal dude. Guy knows his shit.
Unlike Jason Soles. Black trenchcoat type. Who doesn't know his shit.
>>48064417
At the time we were trying to figure out how to do damage for a throw and all we could find was references to collateral damage. And before you ask, no, collateral damage is not listed in the index.
>>48064473
I was about to say.
Well I liked Seacat's lore work back in the day. Are his novels any good?
>>48064555
I've only read Blood of Kings by him. It was pretty good, especially for WM fluff. Correia (Into the Storm) is better for WM fluff though, I find.
>>48064536
It's listed under "Damage, Collateral".
Everything relevant is listed in the Index.
>>48064623
I liked both, the Malcontents series really surprised me.
>>48064368
>the rules for Warmahordes seem like a complete clusterfuck
I was just thinking to myself "They're actually pretty good, with the exception of throws and related stuff", and then
>Today we spent about 10 minutes trying to find where in the book it said what collateral damage was.
Yep.
Ignoring the current "engaged vs. in melee range" bullshit, collateral damage is the worst part of the rules set.
>>48064652
Oh silly me, I was looking for collateral damage, not damage collateral. I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT.
>>48064783
I mean, it's the second place I'd look.
>>48064783
Yeah, who would've thought that putting all damage references in one place would be so confusing.
>>48065200
Who needs glasses when you have hindsight?
>>48062296
Why would you bother with a spell martyr over a shepherd? Rhyas doesn't really have anything worth arcing through a martyr.
>>48064207
>designed Convergence
>one of their best designers.
You, uh, have LOOKED at the vectors, right? With your eyes?
>>48065592
... Good point. I still keep thinking Shepherds are 2.
>>48064207
>>48065663
He meant ruleswise
Also fuck you vectors look cool
>>48064536
Now I know you're full a shit since it refers you to the page with colateral damage.

*Behemoth
*Rager
*War Dog
Winter Guard Artillery Kapitan
WG Rifle Corps
WG Mortar Crew
WG Mortar Crew
WG Field Gun
WG Field Gun
Iron Fang Pikemen
My meta only really ever plays 50pt games so. Opinions most welcome
>>48066980
less artillery, more rocketeers. You also want to expand the pikemen with UA and such so they can hold in the front more.
>>48067002
Didn't realise WGRC could take rocketeers! that makes a huge difference in my thought for this list now
>>48058885
Mine got enough to cover all preorders but 1, and had 2 faction decks per faction and an extra ret battlebox.
What would your dream Karchev list be? My friend wants to play against him (skorne player) and I have no idea what to play with him. Have just about everything khador can take, including most mercs

Karchev and 15 Mad Dogs.

Dude my Irusk2 list is behemoth, ruin, a unit of black dragons, a unit of assault commandos, and a unit of rifle corps with Joe and 2 rocketeers. It's fucking brutal.
>>48068449
hutchuk?
looks similar to what i was thinking, had bailoch and ternion injstead of kossites / ragman
>>48065925
No, Aurora looks cool. The winged infantry look cool. The TEP even looks cool. The vectors look like rejects from one of those robot fighting competitions.
Hey guys I havent really been round the previews of mk3 but I was wondering if Amon is gud now.
>>48069054
Likely the best in Protectorate.
>>48069381
oh really? well that certainly is a step up from m2's "jack catser that has not enough focus to be a jack caster"
is he still a jack caster though? or did they change how he operates?
>>48069545
He's a pure jack caster. With power up and cheaper heavies, he's seriously good. Like S-tier good.
>>48057454
I used the Menoth scheme's Sanguine Reds instead of white, but kept the rest of the studio scheme the same. Ended up being real fuckin' nice, earthy, and somewhat more realistic than the fuckin' straight white animu shoulders.
>>48068547
you use AKs outside of Strakhov?
>>48068748
Problem with bailoch and ternion is neither trigger road to war, and the list doesn't hugely benefit from the clouds.
Hutchuk and kossites ambushing gives some scenario game to an otherwise slow list, and can take out stuff like the choir to help give the 'jacks an edge.
>>48070164
Aks are decent, their pokemon damage immunities are pretty strong into menoth and legion, and Rat 6 sprays are always nice.
Battle Lust makes them POW 11 weaponmasters too, which is pretty decent.
>>48064158
READ THE FUCKING OP
So, we totally need a comic about Raiders being all ready to destroy a Cyngar Junior until one of them accidentally headbutts him, and the rest of them get mad and refuse to help.Bonus points for /ss/

Does that justify 16pts + 2pts per flamethrower tho? I'd rather spend that on Pikemen and give them Battlelust
>>48070345

So what's the deal with hex hunters? Are they any good now, better, worse?

Good:

Total noob and non-regular here. What I am gathering from this is that PP decided you have to be enganged to the target to get flank/gang meaning knock-downed targets or targets that otherwise dont engange can't be flaked/ganged? Am I understanding this right?
>>48072822
When a model is knocked down, it cannot be engaged (a term basically signifying active melee combat exchange). It can be targeted by attacks and I think is even hit automatically. The issue is that Flank and Gang both specify that the target must be engaged by an ally (either from the same unit in the case of gang, or by a model/unit/type specified by flank[thing]) to grant the bonus.
It seems to me (at best) that they were running with a line of reasoning that tries to encourage knocking things down to open line of sight paths and such for shooting or something. Worst case (and seemingly more likely) is they dun goofed.
>>48072913
"in melee" is
>a term signifying active melee combat exchange.
>>48072913
The simple solution is to change things that require you to be engaged like Flank, Gang, and Charge (which I believe they've already done), to require you to be in melee range. Tag Team already works this way despite basically being the exact same thing.
>Tag Team
>While in the spellcaster’s control range, models in its battlegroup gain +2 on melee attack and melee damage rolls against models within melee range of another model in the spellcaster’s battlegroup
Anyone have a link to No Quarter 66?
>>48070702
Pikemen can't shoot things on the way in. Pikemen don't have rat6 assault shots or rat 6 sprays.
Black dragons, AK's and WGRC+2 rocketeers + Joe I feel will be a new list core.
so I havent really been keeping up
35pts and 50pts was the norm for mk2
however given the point cost lowering of many units in addition to the doubling of jack/beast costs, will 70 to 100pts seem too much? It almost seems that 100pt mk3 is the equivalent of 70pt mk2.
>>48074048
50 was of mk2 what 75 is for mk3
35 in mk2 is 50 in mk3
don't expect everything from your old shitlist to fit. but you'd be surprised how much shit you can jam in there.
>>48058378
yeah m8 i also spout bullshit.
>>48074151
>you'd be surprised how much shit you can jam in there.
This is partially given by Warcaster points going from "one spare Jack maybe" to "3 spare Jacks easily". Ditto for Hordes.
>>48059387
The KD - gang rule is as baffling as being able to attack your own models but _not_ charge them...
But as we all know fluff =/= crunch and there are no house rules in warmachine.
So suck it up and deal with it niggas.
>>48064473
Yep DC could into rules. Soles cannot.
I'm sorry for the guy, but honestly I could have done better over the course of a weekend.
>>48074385
mk3 is definitely them going "this is WARMACHINE. HAVE MORE JACKS"
khador casters finally are going to take more than one jack!
Am I the only one that wouldnt mind a subgame of simplified rules where its focused on dozens of grunts grinding up against each other?
as opposed to "its like chess but your king is also the queen"
and please dont joke "lul 40k"

what you describe is more like "lul AoS" really

It does now, actually.
>>48074549
>warcasters are the tranny chess piece
pretty sure either Convergence, Legion, Cryx, or Cephs might actually do that
ah hell, circle could voodoo that shit too. and maybe even Menoth might inspire someone to transcend their birth gender.
>>48074558
man I have been under a rock in forever
hard to imagine its actually been a year since AoS release.
>>48074393
it makes sense in one situation.
sort of seems like maybe flank or gang is supposed to be different to how it is now. but....
the situation is that the benefit is there for when you are attacking an enemy who is fighting another of your models.
if that enemy is knocked down, then your model isn't being engaged by it. so you not getting the bonus is sort of not quite so shit.
compared to using it as an attacking boost, like everyone seems to think it is supposed to be.
personally flank should be different, while gang can stay the way they've written.
why?
because if you attack a gang member, the gang is going to attack you.
but if instead one gang member attacks you, the rest of the gang might not attack you.
while if my force advances and engages your army, and then i flank with a strike force catching you unawares, therefore getting a bonus makes sense on the attack.
>>48074581
I don't think Menoth would care as long as you showed total obedience and produced babies to become more upstanding Menites.

Actually the Protectorate has pretty solid stances on 'things as Menoth intended it' and 'kill the abomination'. And I'm pretty sure a hermaphrodite would be considers an abomination as sorcerers are also considered abominations.
>>48074695
It's not like I have copyright on the comic format.
Nice one, anon.
And if anyone's wondering why I haven't made any in forever it's because I've beenenjoying the sunshine,helping my parents renovate, andplaying the game instead of just ranting about it.
As always, ideas are appreciated.
>>48074774
Are you really comparing Thamar's Gift, which can actually be dangerous to human life on a large scale, and a brain disorder to be of the same magnitude?
No, I'm pretty sure the theologians would keep it quiet. They wouldn't obtain any ranking societal positions if importance or much power, but as long as they said the prayers, offered their faith and produced babies for the crusade, a lot of them would turn a blind eye.
Now if they were running around trying to persuade others into deviancy abd non-offspring priducing relations, upsetting the status quo, or in general being an etesore, the scrutators would have a field day torturing the gender fluid sparklefag.
>>48074793
Can you make one with 2 liches lamenting about raider knockdown/gang?
What about a shark-smile, door to door lich, trying to convince a warcaster to buy a unit of bloodgorgers and revenants.
so has skorne not really changed at all?
still hordes of nihilators and titans chopping stuff up.
>>48075026
it got worse basically, except for rasheth and titan gladiators
>>48074793

How about the Satyxis Captain training he other Satyxis with drills and one of the Satyxis keeps on rolling crits to KD the dummy?
Something along the lines of "Damn it Carl!"

>>48072574
Well on Vassal it's harder to lose your models.
Just found out my UA and Nyss swordsmen are MIA from my foam tray. Meaning they are in storage somewhere.
I'm just swapping in Warspears because I legit have nothing else aside from Spears and Striders.
>>48074989
Good idea, I ended up with something similar.
>>48075594
Well if we're on the topic of Rengrave and fucked rules and you are looking for inspiration, here's a treat:
Rengrave has Cleave, which triggers on destroyed. He also has Death Toll, which triggers on boxed and transits straight to RfP (though only on living warriors, you know, the kind of target one would want Cleave against).
>>48076003
http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?253473-Rengrave-cleave&p=3583210
Changed from Cleave to Rapid Strike. Must not have been a "This is how we playtested it so this is how it works" interaction.
>>48076139
I see. Thanks for the info.
So I've only just noticed but Targ is fucking insane. Can I really just take him in Skorne with no problems? I feel as though there should be a downside to a 4 point model that not only does the Willbreaker's job better than it, but also has Ancillary Attack.
>>48076324
Oh fuck I just noticed you can only attach him to Minions warlocks. The dream is over.
>>48074855
PP is a total SJW company (source: http://privateerpress.com/company/harassment-policy), so a tranny warcaster/warlock is only a matter of time. It will most likely be an established character too. I'm betting on Zerkova.
I feel as though models being removed from play is kind of redundant now that tough has been brought into line. Surely just removing it from the game and making everything be destroyed wouldn't cause that many issues, right?
>>48076498
Well, first of all, Tough and RFP never really interacted. You know you got to tough off most RFP effects, right?
Second, it prevents recursion abilities.
>>48076139
>http://charbon-et-charentaise.org/blog/content/app-release.apk
have they fixed that Venetrax can never get souls from his melee kills yet?
>>48076348
Wait hang on a minute, what's the point of Targ being able to work for Skorne if he can only be bonded to Minions warlocks? Incase you feel like playing a 2 warlock game?
>>48076723
Pretty much, yea.
>>48076723
yes, I mean thats the entire point of all merc and minion locks and casters (and their attachments)
fun fact. magnus is the only warcaster that will work for hordes, more specifically skorne.
>>48076866
I know. Orin Midwinter is likewise the only Merc, and also for Skorne.
>>48076897
Nyss.
>>48076866
No, magnus doesnt work for skorne anymore as of mk3
>>48076910
THANKS PP MY LIST IS INVALIDATED
>>48076906
Shut the FUCK up no one asked you.
>>48076637
Not as far as I know. And they probably won't. Guess you'll just have to try to use the Eruption to kill more things for souls. Gotta have options, right?
>>48074615
nice try. Still a load of rubbish, but at least you tried to explain it.
Every time someone makes a post about being gay, or how wmh would be better if it became a pamphlet to promote gay people, I will post a CHEESE.
This amounts to four cheeses so far.
How do you like your cheese, wmh? What's your cheese of choice for game night?
>>48077173
Take your persecution complex and leave. Nobody is trying to turn you into a faggot, you already are.
why why did they go out of their way to make Shedders so fucking bad in the new edition.
I don't about removal of tenacity. It's just that they replaced the thing with a completely unplayable model in return.
a PS 10 flanker is a waste of points and I will never run more because they brought back a retarded and unfun rule on a low fury beast that will be full. Sorry but 8-12 points that is just going to kill themselves in a waste.
So can't take multiples waste of 4 points for only 1, and of course the animus is trash at SELF so it's not even worth taking 1. I would gladly take 1 in certain lists to give Typhon pathfinder but nope, that would make legion too good again I suppose.
And no this isn't salt, I accepted and got over the Eyeless sight change fast.
Nah stuff like this and the fact that the Carni chassis went to spd 5 for no good reason are what really piss me off about the faction change.
Also no I'm not bad because I have 9001 Thagrosh shredders, as of the new starter I only have 6 but that is six models I will never have a use for which sucks.
Speaking of the starter, the Neraph really can't contend. If it were the same as it is now BUT still as fury 4 then I think it would be used but nah let's make it fury 3 again for no reason why PP design department everyone.
Enough rant, everyone having fun in mark 3?
>>48077426
You're kind of retarded, aren't you?
>>48077426
>is anyone having fun in mkiii?
I guess? I'm still very disenchanted from the roll out and just complete rules cluster fuck. I really have a hard time believing the gang/flank change is intentional. It just makes the game *less* streamlined imho.
>>48077519
this
>>48077519
why because I have legit opinions?
>>48077536
I mean, because you believe you do, yes.
>>48077560
would you take a shredder or more in a a list?
>>48077579
I mean, I don't play Legion, so that gets a pretty obvious answer from me.
>>48077589
Why are you even replying then? It does feel like legion got nerfed quite a bit but at least I don't have to deal with the salt of everyone hating playing against it
>>48077528
What was the gang/flank change exactly?
>>48078029
I never minded playing against Legion, most of it's players were bad. For example, your complaints.
There are things to complain about in Legion, and you've missed all of them.
>>48078031
Knockdown/Stationary models can't be engaged. Gang/Flank requires engaging to work.
So if a Raider rolls a crit knockdown against an enemy model, she loses the damage bonus for gang.
>>48078193
That's stupid. I'm shocked they aren't just errating it.
>>48078495
They specifically said that it's working as intended, which is why people are pissed.
do you think sexbots have been invented in warmahordes?
>>48078593
And what about dragon dildos? Made by frigid nyss women from the flesh of an actual dragon?
>>48078193
>There are things to complain about in Legion, and you've missed all of them.
By all means enlighten us anon.

>>48078593
Old, old, old tech. Anon. Iron Maidens, Steelsoul Protectors probably derive from them.
You see, way back in the day what they would do is identify an accomplished warrior woman, kill her, and enslave her soul into an artfully sculpted mechanical body to be somebody's loyal bodyguard/eternal slave. Good times.
Is anyone else super bothered by the plastic castigator?
Either the fuel tubes connect to different parts of the chassis, or the pauldrons are not parallel.
>>48079105
I don't have mine yet, but i'm told a hair dryer to heat it up just enough to make the plastic malleable does the trick. So that way you can make the tubes fit, but like I said I haven't tried.
>>48078593
What do you think the Iron Mother Directrix is? A sexbot.
Question for those who know, what is the Retribution fluff come MK3? Did Skorne take over half the country? Did Gorshade make it Scyrah? And where in the world is Adeptis Rahn?
>>48080127
Skorne was defeated, an earthquake out of nowhere also destroyed every single fucking fortress they had in the west because "lol fuck skorne" attitude by PP.
so retribution kicked their asses. Skornes going to need more mammoths to drop on the elves in future
>>48080164
Really? Deus ex earthquake? For a race of dead gods they sure have a lot of divine intervention.
>>48080256
The earthquake was caused by the Devourer Wurm's brief appearance on Caen in Devastation.
>>48080256
Rule of wargames
Have X Factions?
Ok nothing too terrible can happen to X Factions, otherwise they cant be a faction.
>>48059387
I've done a lot of defending/justifying changes in MK3 but this one is sooo fucking stupid. In fact when I read the few justifications for it I get really mad. It's such a stretch to bring up some fluff interpretation of the terms gang/flank. If they where only an attack bonus then yeah sure. However, the same line of thought about why you'd get extra damage should apply to _every single model attacking a helpless target_.
At some point gameplay needs to come into the picture when designing rules.
>>48074393
I can 100% support the no charge thing. It's a very specific gameplay and tournament oriented change to cut down threat range of things like feat. I'll even be playing Gorten in the future whom is arguably the most affected by such a change due to low spd and focus stats.
It's boggling from a fluff perspective but this is a game and rule sets need to do what's right from a gameplay perspective now and then.
>>48064473
Now I don't hate soles like many do. However, I'm a shadowrun player and I take issue with you calling him a black trenchcoat type. That suggests a level of careful pre-planning.
Anyway thanks /tg/ I needed to vent about this stupid stupid change.

>>48077190
>>48077269
>>48077289
Ahh, someone else in the Wisconsin meta.
Is there any reason to play eFeora instead of Amon now?
The only one I can think of is that 15/19 is a fair bit better of a defensive statline than 16/14, but that really isn't enough to build a list off of
>>48080962
Feora's more of a ranged caster?
>>48078879
That royal we, wew lad.
>>48080973
>he fell for the firestarter meme
>>48080962
So far I'm thinking Malekus does Feora better than Feora.
I'm focusing on Amon, Malekus, both Sevvies, and Kreoss1 right now, and don't (yet) see much reason to worry too much about other PoM casters.
Vindictus, though, maybe.
>>48081709
I think pReznik has a lot of merit. As much as Amon? Maybe not, but he's got some terrifying assassination potential.
>>48081709
What's wrong with Kreoss 2 and 3?
>>48081758
Nothing *wrong* with them, but I don't yet see them as top-tier.
>>48081744
He's definitely good now, but as you said, not as scary as Amon. I probably need to work with him more, though, as he could be an excellent pair to Amon, as Amon's only real weakness is assassination, and I'd like to pair him with something that threatens a crazy assassination.
>>48081709
I actually built a Thyra list I really like.

It's super fast. Daughters and Flamebringers with Occultation are across the table on turn two.
>>48076637
That's fine actually. Him denying fury is probably the better thing
What are some good generic picks for Minions? My LGS owner has decided to get into the game with them, at the moment his 75 points of stuff is:
(Barnabas 1) Bloody Barnabas [+28]
- Blackhide Wrastler [16]
- Boneswarm [7]
- Ironback Spitter [15]
- Ironback Spitter [15]
- Bull Snapper [5]
Croak Raiders (max) [17]
Gatorman Posse (max) [18]
Viktor Pendrake [4]
Gatorman Witch Doctor [4]
It only works out at 73, but after looking through Minions I'm pretty damn sure he should be using Targ since the Spitter seems pretty good. Not only is Targ insane at managing your beasts, but Ancillary attack with a beast that 1) dumps 4" continuous corrosive blasts, and 2) still manages to put out good melee damage is insane. I'd also recommend a Bellows Crew for him since while Barnabas can drop swamps, the Bellows Crew straight up blocks LOS with clouds.
>>48082771
Actually forget the Boneswarm, it was 2x Croak Hunters, so he was only missing 1 point.
Have I mentioned Harkevitch is great? He is REALLY great.
He solidly and fantastically ran 5 Warjacks (Black Ivan, 2 Destroyers, 2 Kodiaks), to completely obliterate a Cryx Force, even after I stupidly ended up marching my Rifle Core through a forest so they ended up doing nothing.
Casualties in a 75 point game where 1 field gun dude, and 3 mechanics 1 of which I killed myself.
Enemy Casualties included a full max unit of Satyrix Raiders, Full Bane Warrior Unit+UA, And Some heavy Warjacks, and a Warwitch Siren.
Flipping MASSACRE!
Also not to cryx players. Use Bane Warriors as a second wave. They do not tar well.
>>48082954

>>48062296
Kk. BatRep time.
I got Steamrolled from bad play the first two games.
First game was against Minions funline. I didn't properly use Raptors and essentially had them wiped out trivially by croaks. Swapping occultation on Warspears did the job of preventing shooting very well.
Death was premature because Rhyas charged in and failed to kill what she needed and then proceeded to be blown to bits.
Second was against trolls Funnbjorn army. He feated at the best time and denied my a shooting turn, and was set to properly retaliate and dominate the following turn. Low fury meant I wasn't able to get every spell I needed out on the board on time. I got three feat charges on Gunnbjorn with Raptors, one succeeded but was transferred away.I misplayed the reaping rule leading to an irreparable game state and forfeited the match. Opponent was a bro and we reracked for a decidedly less shitty game. I lost both by being blown to bits.
The final and best game ironically came from Cygnar.Tit for tat till the very end. I eventually could not fully recover from the attrition advantage my opponent possessed from the second turn onwards but lucky dice in the second turn kept me in the game for a round longer. Rhyas was blown to bits though, but we got to live the dream of actually killing heavies and doods and shit.
TlDR: I've played some games, but more often than not felt like I was at a disadvantage both tactically and skill wise, as I got blown off the table. Would probably not play in a tournament again, but it's nice to play a game with the actual minis for once instead of pixels on the screen.
>>48084935
Well, at least you are having fun.
The game is becoming a grinder for me. I'm probably gonna quit the game when september hits
>>48082954
>Khador is easy mode the post
>>48085044
Yeah, I'm just keeping this game for casuals.
While I had fun, its just not what it used to mean for me after all my friends stopped playing it.
Imma still paint my Legion hella tight tho.
Cryx player slammed my Bronzeback into my caster, killing poor new caster with an X name.
i cri erry tiem
>>48085422
Damn, son. No camp?
>>48082954
>to completely obliterate a Cryx Force
Wow, that's completely unheard of in the new edition.
Anybody here UK based could give me a rundown of what's the best place to buy WMH minis? I usually hear about Wayland Games and Element games. I'm mostly interested in who is the cheapest.
>>48082954
>Bane Warriors ... do not tar well.
Tough will be missed, sorely.
>>48088054
i'm not in the uk.
but i've found wayland games to be just about the cheapest everytime, and that includes shipping all the way to nz.
sometimes there is an american seller who is cheaper, by a little, but then their postage is rotten expensive - and in my experience slower than royal mail!!
and just a quick look @ element, and they aren't as cheap as wayland right now.
i've also found trolltrader on ebay to be reasonable, but there's probably cheaper if you don't have to worry about sending things to the other side of the planet...
>>48088054
Wayland games and the troll trader.
It's also worth to join the faction communities on crapbook cause every now and then someone sells their army.
Trying to work on an eSevvy list.
I feel like I'm brain-locked on PoM theorymachining, as I keep ending up with either Amon jackspam or ranged-heavy with everyone else (and sporting a big assassination threat).
I think I like Tristan + dual Redeemers too much, but damn it looks good. I like dual Sunbursts a lot, but between theorymachine and Mk3 experience on table, they feel like autoincludes in every PoM list to me.
>>48059340
Different anon, but please god, someone say there is. I'm completely broke and only get paid every 2 weeks, and really want to play in my FLGS' launch event tonight
>>48089421
Reminds me of my latest list..l
>>48089658
Yep. Several similar themes there.
Have you run Tristan + dual Redeemers yet? Is it as good as it looks on paper? I've only managed to get Amon on the table so far (I tried to start Menoth last year, picked up an all-in-one, but didn't get stuff on my painting table until a couple of months ago, so I have like... one list so far).
>>48089724
He's great but has the problem any journeyman with warjacks does.
Also positioning can be awkward so that's why I have a max unit of Choir, to still catch the redeemer and reckoners at the same time.
>>48086994
Well if it makes you feel any better I got completely schooled by his cryx force next game with a smaller battlegroup with kharchev.
>>48067985
My default Karchev list currently:
Karchev
-Behemoth
-Destroyer
-Destroyer
-Devastator
WGRC+3 rockets+Joe
Widowmakers
Mechanics
Sit back and shoot while messing with opp plans via road to war and devastator. If opp commits to melee, you wreck his stuff with feat.
Would also work with B1, Z2, V1, Hark with slight changes.
Question regarding accumulator- say I have a desecrator next to a unit of banes and tartarous. Do I get 1 or 2 focus? Not counting power up, obvi
>got latest hordes book
>ooh I cant wait to use these new gargs
>suddenly edition change without even getting the model
so what do I use this book for now? kindling?
>>48091058
Only retards buy anything that can be pirated for free. You only live once, why waste your money that you could be spending on things that can't be pirated? With all the money you spent on books you could've gone on a vacation to Japan.
>>48057066
But mortars and heavy machine guns are semi-stationary, not fully stationary. What if they need to relocate? Crew served weapons are also a lot more complicated than single-user ones. Do you expect a child to understand what angle or direction to fire the mortar so it hits the right general area?
>>48091955
You'd likely use them in entrenched positions, where the gun's not moving.
And as far as aiming goes, you'd just have a trained person to do that. Anyone can walk rounds in provided they've got someone sighting for them, and you need someone dealing with the radio on the mortar anyways, he can just as easily control the mortars target.
>>48091955
They will learn... quickly
