Generally I hear Lylyth2 doing it more frequently. Pop feat, pincushion it from 15" away, take some 16" bow shots to Swift Hunter back out of range of retaliation, then the Naga and Succubus Wraithbane your Ravagores and they shoot it a bunch of times. If it doesn't die it has to get closer because of Shadow Pack and you get another round of shooting. While this is going on your Striders are removing enemy infantry in droves.

Bunch of new Cyriss models up on PP's site Mirrors if you can't see 'em :    $25 for 3 Clockwork angels, ouch. I suppose that's better than $17 per Brute Thrall though. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jun 12, 2013 |

The angels are sweet and I would honestly buy some just to have them. The Aurora model is also great, but I do find it amusing that even in the faction devoted to replacing your lovely human body with a glory of clockwork precision, there is a chick with a strapless bodice and opera gloves.

It is a little odd. At least the Angels themselves are full on robosuits!

The fluff actually explains why she hasn't been transferred into a robo body yet. It's an interesting enough story. I guess they left some skin showing for artistic license and so you know she's still human.

It's also pretty innocuous compared to a lot of models out there.

So, I'm pretty close to convincing my wife to let me drop some $$$ on a nice, real case for all these little dudes, and I think I want to go with the KR Multicase, specifically the Kaiser4. I'm just not sure what the best foam to buy initially would be. I think I'd like to get it preloaded for my Skorne stuff but I'm concerned with dudes (especially dudes with flags on their backs) fitting in the slots. Does anyone have experience with this and can alleviate my fears or tell me something better to buy?

My local store has a CoC event at the end of June - 20 point MMTC. I was thinking one of these three lists: eStryker Ol' Rowdy Stormclad Ironclad eHaley Centurion Lancer Stormclad Kara Defender or Avenger Hunter Hunter Minuteman Not sure if we can take more than one list (the announcement is ambiguous). I also don't have a Stormwall

Oh no, it's definitely better than tons of stuff, and even better than other things in PP's line (although still suffering from Combat Heels, it seems) It's just funny because this seems like the faction that would have the most complete disregard for it. If I get the chance I'll look up the fluff and see what the reasoning is (at least they bothered with some)

Looking at the angels though I am going to really try to stretch my painting skills by painting them like various butterflies. It'll be the most fabulous, gayest looking troops ever but I will love it! No-one ever suspects the butterfly.

I use KR for my Skorne, and most everything fits pretty well. For titans I use the 3/4 tall foam (D5H I think) and that works really well. My gladiator's flag is magnetized, so he can stand up, but Tiberion fits laying down. Cyclopses and Cetrati fit into the 1/2 size (2H). Just get the pick&pluck style foam so you can make odd shapes if you need it. The best thing about KR is the foam, which can bend if need be but also holds things in place, and doesn't scratch the paint.

Oh man, the Entropy League cards are up and I'm SO glad I bought the Throne of Everblight. Blighted Glutton looks like a lot of fun, especially with move/attack shenanigans like Rhyas's feat. But for maximum shenanigans, I'm looking at using the Massacre animus as well. I'm sure this has been answered before with say, the Ogrun Warchief, but I want to make sure of the order of operations here. I put Massacre on the glutton, it charges and kills the target. Both Massacre and Berserk are triggered by that model being destroyed, so I get to choose which happens first, correct? Does this mean it can make Berserk attacks until one misses before making the Massacre move/attack, or does it only make a Massacre move/attack if I do that immediately after killing the charge target?

I shall I shall! They will probably be just straight colours for the first three but the other unit I'm getting ill add designs and swirls.

Any effect that gives you a free attack doesn't stack with other free attacks, I'm afraid. See Black spotted unit v Nihilators, for example. You get to pick which free attack you want to use though.

Got a 35 point SR tournament coming up and I'm trying to refine my lists. Here's what I have thus far. Points: 35/35 Grand Scrutator Severius (*6pts) * Blessing of Vengeance (7pts) * Templar (8pts) * Hierophant (2pts) Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) Holy Zealots (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts) * Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer (2pts) Knights Exemplar (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts) Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (2pts) Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts) The Covenant of Menoth (2pts) The Wrack (3 wracks) (1pts) Vassal of Menoth (2pts) Points: 35/35 High Exemplar Kreoss (*5pts) * Redeemer (6pts) * Reckoner (8pts) * Reckoner (8pts) Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) Holy Zealots (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts) * Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer (2pts) Kell Bailoch (2pts) Saxon Orrik (2pts) Vassal of Menoth (2pts) Vassal of Menoth (2pts) I really like both lists, but what I've been waffling on is how to spend the 4 points in the Kreoss list that is Bailoch and Orrik. The first version of the list had Nicia and Wracks in place of those guys, but I was concerned about pathfinder access. I've basically got three different configurations in mind: the one posted, the original Nicia + Wracks, and Orrik + whatever 2 point merc or menoth solo. Thoughts? Also general criticism of both lists welcome.

Had my first full game of WM last night, my Cryx starter set plus a full unit of Blood Witches and Machine Wraith against the battle box set of Menoth. We added up the battle box set and it came to 24 points I think, so I just added to my army with some units that I'd bought over the past few months and assembled. Set up a symmetrical table with a few walls and a small building on each side to keep the terrain rules simple and set off. Menoth started with their troopers on one side of the table, so I put my Witches on the same side so we could learn how trooper combat works, and the warjacks & bonejacks were on the other side. It was an interesting game, my major mistake was not thinking ahead properly about what spells to cast and where to put my Focus points, and my Machine Wraith never got close to taking over a warjack because I was hanging him back too far from the Menoth warcaster's magic weapon. If I'd thought about it a bit more it could have been a little different. Also, I could have done a double-handed throw but rolled a 1 when I needed a much higher roll, but the mistakes ended up costing more than any roll. I ended up losing because Deneghra was hit with the big gun twice from the biggest Menoth warjack (can't remember what it's called) and the Menoth warcaster finished her off with a massive roll from some spell. Coming from playing 40K once a week on average over the past year, the difference in the rules is amazing. Apart from looking up how different things worked (like throwing, cloud effect, etc.), there were only a couple of rules we really had to search for (e.g., can charge rolls be boosted) and ANY question of 'how does this rule work, really' was immediately clarified by just reading a bit more of the context of the rule (for the previous example, no rolls can be boosted more than once). It really is a clearly laid out ruleset. The hardest thing to get used to (apart from learning new tactical stuff) was not premeasuring (I want to try to get us to do as a houserule, not sure if that's a terrible idea - we're not going to be tournament players anyway) and doing actions for one model at a time. Sorry for the  just enthusiastic!

The first couple of games I played with my brother, I let him premeasure to get a feel for the distances. That being said, the game is really designed to not pre measure with specific applicable tactics due to this. Even if you are just going to play casually, most everyone is going to go "uh... You can't do that."

Yeah that's true. It's just such a major change, and with Malifaux going to pre-measuring I got confused and thought WM would be going that direction as well. Still, even with the loss it was fun. So few models on the table!

I've seen people use metal ring templates. Are they for marking lasting effects so that no models have to be repositioned, or what?

What's a range of these rings that would be useful to have on hand? I have been looking for templates and things online to print out, and can make these ring templates pretty easily in Photoshop, I think. That brings me to another question: I've been looking for spell effect markers to download online - plenty of front arc templates, blast and spray templates, etc, but no spell effects that I can find. The thread on the PP forums has tons of dead links for the markers, so can anyone point me in a helpful direction please?

My friends and I have yet to get the metal ring templates, but we just use a marker - like a die or a bead or something - to determine the centre of the AOE, and pull out the normal 5'' AOE template when we have to. Rings would be better, but it does fairly well in a pinch.

Would it be feasible to order Thorn bits to convert an unassembled Lancer to Thorn? If so, which parts would be necessary to qualify as Thorn, and would it pass muster for organized play (store-level tournaments, really)? I started Cygnar with a custom battlebox which included a Lancer, and am considering grabbing the official one to have an Ironclad/Charger/alt pose Stryker, but a second Lancer wouldn't really be useful to me. If I could order a few Thorn bits to convert it on the cheap, that'd be great.

I'm pretty sure Thorn is slightly larger then an old metal Lancer. I haven't seen a plastic Lancer though.

That's great enthusiasm and I'm glad to hear excited reports like this. Pre-measuring exists KIND OF. You can always check your control radius for your warcaster/warlock, so you can measure out 12 or whatever inches from your warlock to check your radius, then use that information for comparisons and sort of eyeball the other distances you need based on that. This is intended in the ruleset, and you are meant to be able to do it. I think that it reinforces the King-Piece style of warmachine, where you have one leader who is the one giving the commands, and the game is over if they fall.

Nothing says more about your leadership ability than when you whip it out in the middle of a blood soaked battlefield and check your length.
