I actually won a game against Legion today which felt nice. Was against fyanna2 and they missed assassination on mah bae Morvahna2 so I used some sneaky tricks to pin his warlock in and then morvahna goat smacked them. I needed a 10 to hit with carnivore up (gotdang def 18), so naturally it took me 4 tries to roll it. Re-rolls rule. Ram rules. I also headbutted Proteus with Brennos which is cool and good. I could have murdered him with my stick but that would give Fyanna fury to transfer with and I stopped myself before doing so.

I've used the Gnarlhorn quite a bit and basically his problem is that he's A) Fury 3, which is Not Good and B) not supported properly by his terrible, terrible faction. Brennos is really the only good goat and it's purely because he is Fury4, and even then nobody uses him because warpwolves are better in every dang way. Counterslam is also not great as a rule because you have to move 3" for the slam to count and slams have to go directly towards the other model. So you have a 3-6" zone where the slam is good and any other models in the way are going to mess it up. I've gotten a counterslam off only a very few number of times. albany academy posted:Specifically kaya3 I think maaaaybe the Shadowhorn (leap goat) could be decent with Kaya simply because it skews more towards Def and so the feat is actually meaningful on it, and it is also considerably faster, but honestly she wants max # of purebloods, forever, or maybe Argii. Goats would be way down her list of things to take and make better.

Just imagine a world where it's swinging at effectively Mat8!! She's a seriously good warlock and synergy is stupid in hordes.

Probably going to start selling my stuff off soon. About half my group has moved or quit playing in recent months, and we haven't been able to get any replacements. I'm running demos at a local convention in a few weeks to try and drum up support, but if not I'm going to pare down to one or two factions that I can take elsewhere for an event every few months.

It's good, but now there's no "oh I hope I'm in range, but I need to be about here" it's "I advance to 6.001 inches out". I felt the change when playing eBorka after MK3 dropped. Likewise, it's a huge buff to sprays, since you can pre-measure and move 2.001" away from the enemy and line the spray itself up before you make your attack, and hit 5+ guys every time because people still cluster their infantry when they charge in. Sprays were overcosted in MK2 because of their potential damage, and they never realized it. Sprays are undercosted in MK3 because of MK2 performance, but now they can actually land everywhere on everything. Opposite for Countercharge.

Agreed. Countercharge still makes people eat clock, but it's not like you're gonna be having any gotcha moments.

I never really like Darius all that much; even in MK3 he didn't really jell with me. That being said with a Masters tournament coming up I needed him as a pair for my Maddox list and I found something that is actually really fun: Theme: Heavy Metal Objective: Armory Captain E. Dominic Darius - WJ: +29 - Halfjacks - Squire - PC: 0 - Stormwall - PC: 39 (Battlegroup Points Used: 29) - Lightning Pod - Defender - PC: 16 - Defender - PC: 16 Captain Arlan Strangewayes - PC: 0 Journeyman Warcaster - PC: 0 - Hunter - PC: 11 Lieutenant Allison Jakes - PC: 4 - Hunter - PC: 11 Archduke Alain Runewood, Lord of Fharin - PC: 4 Field Mechaniks - Crew Chief & 3 Grunts: 3 I got ARM and no knockdown where I want it and plenty of guns to shoot at armies advancing toward me. Refuge and Energizer let me scoot the Hunters around the board, while Full Throttle let's my jacks smash face in melee. All the mechanics and halfjacks lets me repair a lot of the shooting that I would take in turn. Runewood was there because I had 4 points left but his March action is proving very useful in letting Darius or the Mechaniks get where they need to go. So if your stuck wondering how to make Darius go, this might help you out.

I've been playing a bunch of Gorten, but with a full high shield boat in front of him as operation human shield. Worked surprisingly well! Having Thor with his avalancher, free bokur on Thor and unit of hammer dwarves on one flank, you can have your jacks that want to be within ten of gotten on the other inching up with his turtle formation just off the center towards that flank. I've always liked high shields for being really really hard to kill (esp with twelve of them) but also not really worth killing! With Gorten behind them though, a melee army has to either flank you somehow or get through them all to assassinate, but to get that close puts them in feat range. Really really liking this list!

Definitive WMH faction Goodness ranking, least bad to worst: "Sort of ok but not really" - tier Trolls - They would just really appreciate it if everyone would leave them the gently caress alone. Except for Troll Hitler. He's a dick. Cygnar, Khador - They're just feudal nation-states. They do some good poo poo, some bad poo poo, some terrifying mess-with-forces-beyond-your-ken poo poo, but they're mostly just people. "Say what you will about the <Faction>, at least it's an ethos, man" - tier Protectorate of Menoth - Magical Steampunk Catholic ISIS. Retribution of Scyrah - Elf Nazis. Convergence of Cyriss - Bringing about the robo-apocalypse to manufacture a god is a huge ethical grey area as far as I'm concerned. Circle Orboros - Yes, they may have prevented the apocalypse numerous times, but eating people's hearts isn't kosher. Cartoony Bad Guy Tier Skorne - People who at some point asked themselves, "how can we weaponize the agony of baby elephant people?" "Exist only to bring about a terrifying apocalypse and enslave all souls to a abominable god-entity, forever" - tier Cryx, Legion - Self explanatory.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Interesting. I've been wanting to get into dwarves. My issue is that I play Dwarves, rather than mercs, so only the three Rhulic casters and their 'Jacks, and by far and away the most optimal way to do it is with Ossrum under tier. It's just straight up better. So in the past I've tried to come up with Durgan lists that take advantage of his feat / setting everything on fire, to try and come up with a good reason to play him over Ossrum, but never really tried to go quite so all in on the Gorten plan before of 'Deliver Gorten to the heart of the battle, alive'. And it turns out that if you manage to have him feat in a way that is almost purely offensive it's REALLY decisive.

My guess was that theme gorton would have a lot of heavies to just make sure strength of granite lands on something. Run it into other BG armies like hark and just out cheap heavy them. But I'm glad to hear high shields have a place in the world.

xiw posted:I just picked up cheap flame bringers by accident, tell me about them! They are incredibly useful and good. They get pretty nasty defensively with Defenders Ward on them, and offensively things like Strength of Death (thyra) can make them pretty rude. In my opinion they are absolutely at their best under Severius 1 (defenders ward and Eye of Menoth). They'll pac-man their way through enemy units with ease, and speed 9 pathfinder is really, really good. They're also on the cheap end for cavalry models. I love them to death and they are the #1 reason I picked Menoth back up. I am eyeballing a second unit pretty hard!

xiw posted:I just picked up cheap flame bringers by accident, tell me about them! Flame Bringers are rad. If you can throw a defensive spell on them or give them stealth (Thyra) they get really ridiculous but just on their own they're a super unit. Fast, they hit hard, and with Parry, Side Step and Repo 5 they can really hit and fade. If your opponent doesn't dedicate resources to killing them they can tear a lot up and don't necessarily need any support to do it. That can be a bit of a curveball for opponents who don't expect something in Menoth to be able to do those things. I guess their main drawback is that they are really fragile and once your opponent does get to grips with them they die pretty fast. However, I find by that time (assuming I haven't made any mistakes) they have either more than pulled their weight in killing things or distracted a huge amount of attention their way. I never regret bringing them. e: I haven't run 2 units yet but I'm really tempted to try it with Thyra.
