Not sure if this is a :files: question or not. I had iBodger for my phone. They pulled it out of the app store, and I had to reformat my PC and iPhone, and obviously I can't get it anymore for the iPhone. Is there any alternate way of getting it, since I legit had it before it was pulled from the app store?

Update on my Khador army, cross post from the mini's thread. Here is the finished shocktroopers unit.  Although after all that I haven't been using them much recently. I did have some luck with them against Trolls, but Crix seem to beat them without a problem. Ive been running P Vlad after the battlebox, I like the way he came out. Im not sure if Signs and Portents is a crutch or awesome.    My first jack, his bombard proved useful in my tournament even getting a caster kill. (Yes wrong axe, I bought him used and already assembled.)   Finished Drago last week. I love playing with him, I've been using him like a cruise missile. Holding him back till I launch him at what I want dead, but its usually a one shot deal as he gets focused the next turn.    I'm working on the great bears this week.

Sometimes traditional is bad rear end. (This is one of them.) Though I have a real desire to paint up a Khador jack in black with red trim.

Ah, that makes more sense. Anyway, if you want her to be even more Focus-efficient, the Devil Dogs are also on the short list of "not entirely poo poo 'Jack Marshalls". They're not the best, but Pronto makes it worth freeing up 2-3 of her Focus.

Actually, I just plugged that in and noticed that it was only 23/25, so I was just about to ask about that. 3 would be nice for an Eiryss, but with 2 I guess you could toss in Anastasia to get Ashlynn into  range that much faster, among other things.

My next army is probably going to end up as mercs, here's what I'm sorta thinking of running with Ashylnn. System: Warmachine Faction: Ashlynn - Viva la resistance Casters: 1/1 Points: 50/50 Tiers: 4 Ashlynn d'Elyse (*6pts) * Vanguard (5pts) * Vanguard (5pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (0pts) * * Mule (8pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts) * * Mule (8pts) Precursor Knights (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) * Precursor Knight Officer & Standard (2pts) Anastasia di Bray (2pts) Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts) Taryn di la Rovissi (2pts)

Precursors? Interesting. I guess they're the best defensive line you can get while still remaining in her tier list, but that Spell Ward means they're never gonna get any Quickened love, making them a bit mediocre as a screening unit.

I ordered the new Ashlynn sculpt the moment I saw it mentioned in this thread. Such an improvement!J Bjelke-Postersen posted:I've always wanted a Llael merc army. Can someone give me a quick idea on poo poo to take with Ashlynn? I will probably end up getting a Galleon one day. I plan on running two Ashylnn lists depending on the mood. One for her tier: System: Warmachine Faction: Ashlynn - Viva la resistance Casters: 1/1 Points: 50/50 Tiers: 4 Ashlynn d'Elyse (*6pts) * Vanguard (5pts) * Vanguard (5pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (0pts) * * Mule (8pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts) * * Mariner (8pts) Precursor Knights (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) * Precursor Knight Officer & Standard (2pts) Anastasia di Bray (2pts) Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts) Taryn di la Rovissi (2pts) Tough Precursor Knights and the two required Vanguard move up while the Gun Mages and assorted Jacks rain fiery death down. I only have one Mule so the Mariner is my next Ranged jack. Still a 19inch sniped Cannon shot is nothing to sneeze at. I've not had a chance to play her tier but two units of Gun Mages with Merc jacks is too tempting to not try. Otherwise I run Ashlynn like this; System: Warmachine Faction: Highborn Covenant Casters: 1/1 Points: 50/50 Ashlynn d'Elyse (*6pts) * Vanguard (5pts) * Rocinante (9pts) * Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker (2pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts) * * Mule (8pts) Horgenhold Forge Guard (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) Lady Aiyana & Master Holt (4pts) Precursor Knights (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) * Precursor Knight Officer & Standard (2pts) Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts) Rocinante just makes Ashlynn absurd in melee combat at Def 19 and with Riposte, your enemy will think very hard before trying to make an assassination run on her. Forgeguard are ridiculous, doubly so on the feat turn. Tough Precursor Knights are an incredible front-line, especially since the Gun Mages can shoot over them thanks to the Precursor UA. I may drop the Knights to a minimum unit to free up 3 points and make the Vanguard into a Mariner just so I can prevent Knockdown with Ashlynn. That has been my bane the few times I've played her recently. I love playing her but her model is so bad. Now I have no excuse! Edit: 404GoonNotFound posted:Precursors? Interesting. I guess they're the best defensive line you can get while still remaining in her tier list, but that Spell Ward means they're never get any Quickened love, making them a bit mediocre as a screening unit. Her Tier list only allows for Precursors or Devil Dogs. I love my Devil Dogs, but you really want a better defensive unit for the two Gun Mage squads. Put Quicken on Ashlynn for added defense.

They exist as a second line unit to bring down high armor, most likey on a feat turn. A mini-feat charge makes mincemeat of pretty much any colossal, and with bless you can flip the bird to Arcane Shield. Add in Ashylnn's feat and drat.

Thagrosh is brutal. I didn't know about Mutagenesis and suddenly bam, Thagrosh and Typhon are past all of my defensive lines and in melee range of my caster. Luckily I saved my feat and was able to headbutt his caster and pepper him with (4" range) slug guns, but that was pretty much pure luck at that point. (I made mistakes with movement, and by golly I paid for them.) All factions need a Warbeast / Warjack caster. They are so awesome.

25-Point 'Highlander' tournament coming up at my shop this weekend. I was initially going to play a Mortenbra list but having recently played a few games with my Legion again I'm thinking I might run them instead... Points: 25/25 eThag: +3 WB Ravagore: -10 Scythean: -9 Shredder: -4 (2 of them) Raek: -4 Shepherd: -1 I've never used Raek before, any tips? Not really sure why I'd ever use his animus. Is that so he can jump out of combat without a free strike? Maybe I'd be better off just getting 2 more Shredders. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Oct 16, 2012 |

I generally prefer them with Absylonia so she can give them an open fist for the same type of leap + throw combos that the circle shadowhorn satyr does. In other lists I generally think of them as solo hunters. With a good spd + reach they can get to solos pretty well, and can jump behind screening units if necessary.

Played my first Warmachine game against a friend's battlebox yesterday. He was playing Menoth (Kreoss & three jacks) & I was playing Cygnar. I only have 1 light jack so I fielded a lot of infantry- Arcane Gun mages, Black 13th, Squire, pStryker and a Hunter. Without getting too much into it, it quickly became a war of attrition as I progressively lost infantry models throughout the game. Menoth is SLOW though, and you can kite them pretty easy as Cygnar and turn it into a shooting game, but when you do engage you have to make your hits count. I did manage to use Stryker's Earthquake ability to knockdown two jacks and hit them & his caster with Ryan's double & continuous AOE, which turned the battle in my favor for a moment. He was able to recover and started wiping my forces out, feating and causing knockdown to all my units. Stryker got up, survived a flamer attack, and plugged Kreoss with an AOE which killed him. It's a good lesson to learn that just because the other guy is more menacing, that doesn't mean you can't take him out all the same. The other thing I noticed is that with all the talk about models and utility, you really don't get a good feel for how a model works until you play with it.

I've been trying to get into the game lately as Khador, and have bought half a battlebox with a friend. I also picked up pVlad, as he was on sale at my local shop. I'm trying to decide what kind of force to purchase on limited funds, but am having some serious trouble theorycrafting something that will be fun to play, attrition based, and won't just be annihilated by a pCaine ATGM themed gunline before I can even get to it(seriously, what fun is running up a field only to die without getting a swing in every week?). An example pCaine gunline that I don't have an answer for, without building specifically against it is: 35/35 pts pCaine (6) Hunter (6) ATGM (5) Officer (free) Defender (9) ATGM (5) Officer (2) Hunter (6) Black 13th (4) Gun mage Cap (2) Gun mage Cap (2) So that's basically 10-14 single wound infantry removed per turn, not including pCaine's feat, the solo's or the jacks. Stealth, concealment, clouds? Useless. Jacks? Gunned down before hitting the battle line. Denial? who needs it when I have to go to them? Solo's? 2 GMCA's to pop them from 14". How can I use a list like this: pVlad (5) Gorman (1) Drago (8) Destroyer (9) Widowmakers (4) Doom Reavers (6) UA (2) Iron Fangs (8) Iron fang UA (2) To any modicum of effect against a gunline that ignores terrain? Or is the list just terrible? Also, Nyss hunters w/ Valachev seems like boring cheese that doesn't give my "magic steam russia" feel in the least. That and the fact that nearly everyone can take Nyss (and does) makes it even more boring.

I've been playing Cygnar for a while now and have a decent grasp of the rules. I currently mostly run eHaley, eCaine and Nemo2 with varying amounts of success. eHaley feels like cheating to be honest... I have some extra cash and am considering taking up Menoth. No one in my current group plays them so I don't really have anyone to ask / haven't seen what they are capable of. What casters are best for people new to the faction and what models should I be looking at? So far Chorus, Reckoner and the book are all on my list of must haves and I am thinking of picking up pSevvy or pKreoss, maybe the battlebox.

So it turns out that pMorghoul's feat is an incredible ball-buster at low point levels. Having to take two rounds of charges from Rush-ed, Enraged Skorne beasts with only your unboosted base attacks to retaliate with is... painful. Thankfully I was able to kill his one non-maxed beast and have Lylyth feat to double-tap him into the dirt, but drat. Elephants kill stuff good. In that vein, I'm considering my caster swap for the local Journeyman. I'm 4-1 so far with pLylyth. Next week we jump to 25pts, and the week after that we go to 25+caster swap. I know from experience that things are going to get nasty once people are free to change casters - there will be some seriously harsh lists out there, since almost none of us are actual beginners (just bringing new or less-played factions into our stable). The question is, what do *I* bring? Some thoughts on my pieces so far: pLylyth - She's an enabler, but a squishy one who has to play up front. 10" of control range simply will not cut it in the long run, no matter how much I enjoy abusing Parasite. Her own offensive capabilities are extremely limited and her survival depends completely on your positioning, since she has approximately zero board control. There has never been a game when I felt safe from my opponent. Fun, but I'll be ready to swap when real lists start hitting the field. Carnivean - I thought that I would like him. I don't. His animus is unimpressive when Tenacity is an option, he's not fast enough to get an unaided alpha strike, and his spray makes me wish that I had the cheaper Pureblood instead (I miss that beast badly). Unfortunately, I'm stuck with him until the final week of the league. I'll probably try to have him shoot to supplement the first wave, then charge in as my second wave. Shredder - I thought that I would dislike these guys. As it turns out, I love these little landsharks. They have absurd synergy with pLylyth: peg someone with your bow, stick parasite, and you can charge for free with two boosted POW 13s after counting the debuff. Get three or four of them on target and they'll wreck a heavy. If you spread them out and tie up multiple enemies, they either have to kill them (non-trivial, especially if any aspects went down) or deal with them all frenzying for another boosted attack and damage roll next turn. Plus if you can actually take the fury off of them instead of letting them frenzy, then they can just walk 8" to double-chomp someone without even needing pLylyth's free charge bonus. Not to mention that they can serve as a DEF 14 screen when you can't purchase infantry. Landsharks are total bosses - but I'm afraid that they'll be noticeably less boss with a caster who doesn't give them free charges and +3 POW. Forsaken - Fantastic. As a second-line fury management tool, Forsaken pack an incredible punch once your front line beasts are down. I've killed heavies multiple times with Parasite up, and I've forced casters to spend a ton of resources dealing with the Forsaken's anti-camp threat. Definitely keeping my Forsaken in the list. I already know what I'm adding to reach 25pts: a minimum Hex Hunter unit and the Black Frost Shard. That's because they're cool more than because they're good, but they happen to be good too. My gut is then to switch over to Bethayne as my second caster, maxing out my spell-slinging infantry as we move toward 35. I'm concerned about her synergy with the rest of my battlegroup though (a battlegroup that I cannot change due to the Journeyman rules). Opinions?

My FLGS will have a 35 point Who's The Boss tournament on the 28th - build as if you had 5 jack/beast points. I understand the basics - if I have a Warmachine army, if I get a warlock, it'll turn into a warcaster, yes? I tried to work out a decent Cygnar list based on what I'll have at that time (have an order in at the moment). * Ol' Rowdy (9pts) Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts) * Hunter (6pts) * Hunter (6pts) Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (Boomhowler and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Captain Jonas Murdoch (2pts) Journeyman Warcaster (3pts) Ol' Rowdy serves as a melee beatstick, made focus efficient by his charge ability if I happen to get a low focus/fury leader. Hunters are marshalled to ATGM for long-range heavy killing, and I can shuffle them to the warcaster if they have battlegroup-buffing spells. Boomhowlers for tarpitting and JM for Arcane Shield. Alternatively, I could go with a Stormclad/Squire in place of Ol' Rowdy and JM, but I think I'd rather use Boomhowler than Stormblades in this type of tournament. Also, they're starting a journeyman league in November. Custom battleboxes, 11-13 points. I was thinking of starting with: Captain Victoria Haley (*5pts) * Hunter (6pts) * Stormclad (10pts)
