So, I did try out the Archangel on Tuesday. It failed to do much of anything, but I primarily blame that on the person I was playing against, a power gamer who pretty much built his list against what he knew he would be playing(oh, hey, there is pretty much nothing I can damage with blast damage, yay).

What was your list?

I want to like it, it looks so badass :(

Like I said, pStryker is essentially Warmachine's training wheels. He has a little of everything, making him good for learning the game, but apart from Earthquake douchebaggery he doesn't really have any standout strengths.


Keep in mind this list is pure theory with no actual in-game testing yet, and was only thrown together because I wanted to try a Storm gimmick:

General Adept Nemo (*6pts)
* Charger (4pts)
* Firefly (5pts)
* Hammersmith (8pts)
* Stormclad (10pts)
* Thunderhead (12pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (4pts)
Stormblade Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
* Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard (3pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)

Really, with his feat eNemo's 'jack allotment is "however many you want".

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the Hammersmith, but it 's given me a couple of ideas to start building Nemo, thanks!

Yeah, the Hammersmith is really just there as a defensive tool, shoving back anything that tries to close in for an assassination run.

PIP 31097 replaces PIP 31019 and PIP 31069 by offering their contents in a complete unit with weapon attachments.

I'm not saying this in a "my faction needs more attention than yours" sort of way, but just out of shear curiosity, is Cryx now the only (non-merc/minion) faction without a plastic infantry unit?

That's my guess too, the new Champ unit we're getting gives them a core body to make various champ models out of and makes it cost effective to switch to making plastic champs since its more than just a plastic mold for a single 5 man unit.

None of the Retribution or Skorne infantry is plastic either. Not a huge deal for Skorne as they are not as reliant on infantry, but Ret would love some plastic kits. Invictors / Sentinels have more or less the same body, same as Houseguard Riflemen / Halberdiers.

It's weird for Ret, since they're so new. But I should have known Skorne.

The fact that the new WGI and Stormblades come with all their weapon attachments makes me really excited for whenever Kriel Warriors finally get their plastic box. It's $119 for the unit with 3 cabers right now. Seeing as Fennblades are $50 I wouldn't be surprised to be the Kriel Warriors at $60 or $65, which is just an insane price cut.

Darius would like to contest this "All of the Cygnar casters are good" assertion.

Darius got a lot better with the Stormwall. The entire faction got a lot better with Stormwall.

pStryker isn't bad, he is kind of boring though. He just has the misfortune of being an upkeep caster in a game with Purification. He isn't bad, that spell is just beyond too good.

I think the argument can be made that pstrykers best 2 abilities arent affected by purification: feat and earthquake.

I agree that he doesnt like all his buffs stripped, but hes definitely still competent imo.

Honestly, I kind of feel like eNemo's feat is a trap. Focus Matrix rewards you for taking a lot of jacks, but those jacks seem like they would be useless for the majority of the game.
I do want to try running him with the battle engine though
