Terminus nommed eKaya tonight, despite my wife killing at least 20 Mechanithralls and half my bane thralls with two trampling Ferals. I got super lucky with my Necrosurgeons tough rolls and was able to keep churning them back onto the field. So happy I finally got a game in!

Crazy Ferret posted:Captain Daimano Forge Guard are kind of a waste without a speed buff, I'd drop them entirely. You've also got way to much Calvary in there, and the Nomad is a waste. Damiano is a big focus hog and he can really only run a single jack. I'd run a list like this personally. Captain Damiano 6 Rocinante 9 Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts)6 Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer 2 Mule 8 Steelhead Halberdiers (Leader and 9 Grunts) 6 Steelhead Heavy Cavalry (Leader and 4 Grunts) 10 Steelhead Riflemen (Leader and 5 Grunts) 5 Eiryss, Angel of Retribution 3 Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator 1 Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord 2 Stannis Brocker 4 The Gun Mages + Mule combo with deadeye is just disgustingly good. Take snipe and use your jack marshall boost on the hit for a drat good chance to crit from 16' away, or if they're within 12' take crit brutal damage for some real shenanigans. You've got Eyriss to pop upkeeps and deall with focus campers, the gun mages themselves deal with stealth, and the steelheads are self-explanatory. Rupert is just there because he's Rupert. J Bjelke-Postersen posted:Can some rich goon buy those Skorne and donate them back to PV. He should really keep them in a cabinet. Don't get me wrong they're beautiful models, but people are b-town are usually there to get a deal. I'm not sure it'll even move at the price PV wants for'em.

Then again I am a tremendous packrat who will perish under an avalanche of my accumulated crap so ... yeah you probably made the right call. Hope there's a bidding war!

I really wish I had any cryx to trade into that. The price is a bit beyond what I can manage, and I've been wanting to get back into Skorne. And Christ P.V. you paint like some sort of demon(a golden demon? ). How do you feel about installments?

Id like to run some classes or something at a gencon, but I dont think Im making it this year sadly. But, back to warmachine/hordes chat: Is this a terrible list? System: Warmachine Faction: Cryx Casters: 1/1 Points: 35/35 Iron Lich Asphyxious (*6pts) * Cankerworm (5pts) * Deathripper (4pts) * Deathripper (4pts) * Leviathan (9pts) Bane Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) Bloodgorgers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts) Pistol Wraith (3pts) Pistol Wraith (3pts) Basically Im not tryign to making it super optimal, I just want something that can use a few models I already own. That being said, if its a huge piece of poo poo I will change it. My thoughts on it: Cankerworm owns 2 arc nodes for arcey goodness Leviathan because guns are sweet, and Gaspy1 can have a lot of focus Bane Thralls for slaying melee heavies/etc Bloodgorgers for scything touch/screening gaspy Pistol Wraiths for cleaning up dumb solos/support/deathchilling heavies I cant handle

I think, besides a cheepo Terminus I might be able to swing getting, my next Cryx caster is gonna be pgaspy. This far in the future of course. I still need to finish my trollbloods. Man it is taking me forever to sit down and paint them.

Hot Rod Warjacks? we be onto something here. Mikael Kreoss's avatar really makes me want to to do it in 3rd Street Saints style though, purple is a pretty rocking tone. I just to avoid white as painting it on my Infinity stuff has made me want to try something else. I'll have to flick through my concept art books for inspiration but I'm getting a huge Frank Herbert's Dune vibe off my Menites so I may look at doing something like the Sardaukar.

Tanon posted:From the earlier eCaine talk, this is a list I'd recommend I proxied this list and did really well against a Khador player yesterday, Caine is an absolute beast. If you had to expand this list to 50 what would you do? I'm weary about adding more jacks because of how focus heavy Caine was when I played him. I was thinking a Lancer/Thorn for the node but I dunno how necessary it's going to be. fadam fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Feb 24, 2012 |

They make assassinations pretty damned easy. Most cygnar stuff is in the rat 6-8 range already, a +2 makes even really high defense easy to hit with boosts. Rat 8/9 cygnar jacks make casters poop themselves

Crazy Ferret posted:Anyone have any thoughts or criticisms on this list? I second dropping the Nomad. Damiano doesn't have the focus to run two 'jacks. He barely has enough to run one IMO. I think Brocker makes a good Sure Foot target because he can run around in the middle of all those steelheads and not get bogged down. The forgeguard don't have any real synergy with Damiano, though they are really solid on their own. They might make a good Death March target, but then your whole army is going to be stuck behind their slow asses. I've found Rorsh and Brine work well with Damiano because they don't need his focus and his feat helps mitigate Brine's pillowfistedness. If you're running them under the Highborn contract, they both basically get AD.

fadam posted:I proxied this list and did really well against a Khador player yesterday, Caine is an absolute beast. Alright, here's what I would do. I'll add some alternatives at the bottom. System: Warmachine Faction: Cygnar Casters: 1/1 Points: 50/50 Captain Allister Caine (*5pts) * Ol' Rowdy (9pts) * Squire (2pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts) * * Defender (9pts) Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (Boomhowler and 9 Grunts) (9pts) Horgenhold Forge Guard (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) Captain Arlan Strangewayes (2pts) Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (2pts) Journeyman Warcaster (3pts) Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts) Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts) Basically, this is what I'd consider the "competitive-style" Cygnar list. Notice what's not in there? Yeah, no Cygnar melee units. Because they suck. Basically, with your extra 15 points, you upgrade the Hunter on the ATGMs to a Defender, add full Forge Guard with Rhupert for Tough/Pathfinder, and then 2 point solo of your choice. I chose Gorman, because he's all around amazing, but Madelyn Corbeau is a very good alternative. Basically, you're going to use the Boomhowlers as your frontline unit with Heightened Reflexes for no KD, then have them followed by the Horgenhold with Tough from Rhupert and Arcane Shield. That's a ARM 21 Tough unit with Reach Weaponmaster. Yeah. They'll hammer stuff into the next century. Once again, the purpose of the units are to tie things up and beat it out of the way to allow Caine to get to the caster for an assassination. Alternately, there are a couple things you can do. If you want to add Rangers (which, I wouldn't, because your ranged units are relatively few and they're all really good RAT), drop the Defender back down to a Hunter and drop Gorman. Free five points. If you wanted to try adding in a Cygnar melee unit instead of another Merc unit, drop Gorman and the Horgenhold, and add in Stormguard. Use the extra point to grab a Stormsmith for Disruption as needed. They're not Weaponmasters, and AS only gets them to arm 18, but with Electro-leap they do a number to mass infantry units. Basically, as you can see, after Gun Mages, Cygnar is really lacking for quality in the infantry department. Horgenhold and Boomhowler's are amazingly good units with our casters and will see tons of use throughout our lists. Same goes for Gorman, Rhupert, and Madelyn.

It'll be weird playing a Cygnar army that only uses like 50% Cygnar units. My buddy is interested in starting this up but he doesn't have a lot of interest in any of the infantry models. What faction in WM/Hordes can get away with running the most Warbeasts/Warjacks while still remaining competitive?

fadam posted:Thanks a lot man, I'll try this stuff out ASAP. It'll be weird playing a Cygnar army that only uses like 50% Cygnar units. That's how Cygnar plays now. It kinda sucks. There is a bunch of bitching on the PP forums about it, but if you want to play straight Cygnar with no mercs, you're at a significant disadvantage. Even with them they're not top tier, but they're competitive. As for your buddy, if he doesn't want to play infantry, I would suggest going with Legion of Everblight. Legion beasts are expensive and awesome, and generally you'll be able to get by with 3-4 beasts, like one unit, and some support solos. Absylonia is their main beast caster and she can run beasts and support solos and that's it (as a matter of fact, that's basically her tier list). Both Vayl's can run beast heavy, the Thagroshs like a unit for some of their buffs, but still run a ton of beasts. Most of their lists for any caster have two or three heavies, maybe a light or two, and a couple lessers.

Do you think the bulk of those models will work in a 50pt list with Epic Haley/Thorn (I actually own these two so it would be super convenient).

Not sure how kosher it is to post this here, but whatevs. My brother is doing a badass kickstarter to get his wargame terrain off the ground. The stuff he does is amazing.
