Oh man that's like saying "I love these Necron Flayers and Monoliths, sign me up for this game entirely"

For the record I agree with Sulecrist entirely, it was just a funny thing to read. Hell I did it myself with "Holy poo poo what are those spider warjacks and floating doctor octopus Cephalyx all about I have to have them!"

I kind of did it too. "Holy gently caress I love Tharn Ravagers; guess I'm coming back to Circle in MkII." Thank God the Kruegers are good.

EDIT: Since we're a page over and I don't know how far the OP has read, I'll put it here. OP, if you want big dumb brutes that hit incredibly hard and are a huge pain to wipe out, Cryx actually does that super well. They might be hard to remove directly (Satyxis Raiders) or might have tactical endurance with recursion mechanics (Mechanithralls, resurrection spells and feats). Or they might just be Tough (everything in Terminus' bubble). The biggest difference between Trolls and Cryx is that Trollbloods succeed by buffing their own units and never leaving the table in the first place; Cryx have fewer heavy models (and very few jacks) but everything hits super hard and puts a big ol' dick straight in your eye, which it probably debuffed first so it sticks right into your skull and jizzes into your brain, and the armor that was on your skull is now on the skull-headed wizard's skull (this is a real spell).

Skarath is a WIP, but it's coming along decently. I'm thinking of using a Gloss Varnish to give it that wet-snake look.

Miniwargaming.com is closing their store so currently you can get 20% off all their PP stuff.

Vulturing a place that is closing down always seems slightly shady but on the other hand: cheaper mans.

As sad as that is, why wouldn't you just buy from Miniature Market and get 25% off? Is the 20% on top of a preexisting discount?

Khador did it for me. I'm definitely a bit miffed they can't field a lot of jacks per Caster, but meh.. It is definitely doable to run a decent jackline, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Yeah it's 20% off what they would ordinarily have charged which already had some level of discount on it.

I just checked it versus MM, and it's still above MM. Is the 20% closing discount not applied until you check out or something?

We could be best buds, see? Praise be to the Creator.

Here's debate time guys, which are the top 5 Warcasters for Protectorate? the top four (no order) are piss, Harbie, pSev, eFeora, pKreoss. But who is the fifth? Or a top 3, who would they be?

Yeah I was thinking either Kreoss3, maybe Vindictus or Thyra honestly if only for versatility in playstyles.

Vindictus and Thyra would've been my honorable mentions as well, but I said (say) Kreoss3 because I think his speed and durability (personally and forcewise) in SR2013 make me a lot less happy about playing against him. You know I don't play Protectorate, though, and my factions (Circle and Khador) definitely tint my perspective.

Kreoss 3 has my vote for a top 5.

Kreoss3 is definitely top 5.

I'd put it as Harby, Feora2, Sevvy1, Kreoss1, Kreoss3, in no particular order.

Sevvy2 also should get an honorable mention because I think he has a ton of nuances and can seriously manhandle some match ups, but his skill ceiling is well above those other casters. (Kreoss 3 might have a pretty close skill ceiling with all of his tricks.)

I completely forgot about Sevvy2 and he's one of my favourite models in the game, possibly the favourite. Awareness is such a great spell.
