SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Circle is still circle. Which means propped up by some overpowered models. Yeah I don't have Wurmwood and with Circle I play painted so it's going to take a while to get my Reeves into action. Krueger still seems pretty solid to me although losing the 'no charge' part of his feat obviously stings. I really, really want to try Ravagers but that's another medium-term goal because again, gotta paint 'em. I realize that if I'm going to put my best possible pairing on the table I will need to get Wurmwood at some point but I'm trying not to go on a buying spree just at the moment.

Yeah a fraction of why i dropped the faction is I never liked wyrmwood. Do you have a second sentry? Probably priority 1. A second wyrd would be good too. And a second blackclad feels obligary to me.

I kind of hate crutching on them but I get that Circle isn't awash in options these days. It's weird, they seemed to go from the boogeyman to 'this faction is in trouble' practically overnight, but I get that a lot of people being worried by Circle was actually being worried about pre-nerf Wurmwood.

The internal balance of the faction has always been trash. Mk3 was just musical chairs unfortunately. It used to be stalkers and trackers. Now it's pureblood and Reeves. The goats are much better but still unplayable, actually worse against most of what you will see in mk3. It's also the scarfell and una nerf. Ghost fleet is now the bogeyman making demands of your pairing. Since Morv2 circle had a conga line of casters that ask really hard questions. But the really skewing aspects of the bench have been brought in line. I think the casters are mostly good now. But the nuts and bolts of the faction to add to your caster is really limited.

Wurmwood is literally the reason I bought into Circle. He felt like such a deep toolbox, and that is coming from a Cryx player. I stayed for K2, kaya2-3, and Baldur2 bones with 2 fulcrums an a wraith.

I left cryx for circle too with a similar idea. But what I didn't like about cryx turned out to be the shallow bench which circle didn't improve on for me. Of course now I'm playing rhulic which is the shallowest bench, but they proportionally use a lot of it so it doesn't feel that bad. Also I apparently enjoy ranged units so of course I stumble into the two factions with the least guns first.

Excelsiortothemax posted:Madhammer lists. What do you all have? Madhammer, sadly, is not great. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's good and really fun, but he doesn't have anything that feels unfair, and in Warmahordes that's pretty harsh. You pretty much have to take Reinholdt with him to have a feat, but that means that you don't get tier benefits. He's pretty cool with the new Battle Engine, but the Avalancher is still unfortunately better on Thor, which means that's 4 of your AoE's that don't actually get to set stuff on fire. Whenever I make a list with him, its just one for messing around. I find you never really get to live the fantasy his feat suggests.

The shifting errata really hurt his stock and he's been a nonstarter in mk3 Even after the theme nerf he was played constantly. The shifting errata brought him from auto-win to really good. He's still solid in Mk3 but defensive tech with Angry Santa is more reliable overall.

Throw another compliment on the pile, but that troll is spectacular, dude. Trying to decide on my next WMH painting project. I'm planning on the Gyrmkin box, so I might go with that, gives me a more limited focus which hopefully means I can get it done. I'm just not sold on the Piggybacks or the Neighslayers though, it might change in person, but I might see how Dread Rots/Hollow Men work for troops by themselves, with warbeasts providing the punch.

Me and some buddies are getting into Warmahordes of late, but something I don't see a lot of discussion about is terrain? I already made a little hut, but from what I have read online you shouldn't go too ham on obstructions. What sort of terrain balance is good to have to scatter around a battlefield?

5-7 pieces is a good balance to strike. You want to make sure that units with Pathfinder, Hunter, etc actually have the opportunity to make use of those abilities to some extent (forest, rough terrain). You also want to make sure gunlines are feasible but not overwhelming (forests, hills, walls). You want to make sure huge bases and stuff without pathfinder need to respect the board (walls, obstructions). Water is seen much less often, but if you think you'll have a Gator player, be kind. Overall, I like when each player has any two of: forest, hill, or wall on their side of the board (only one wall, generally). Then the rest placed as you like.

If you're building terrain i recommend the hills not being that tall. It becomes a problem trying to balance models on them.

Try to have one or two peices in the middle of the board. A empty middle field teaches bad habits. Try to have terrain in zones. Not just barely touching so models can toe in an reap the benefits. If anything get a third person to eyeball or set up. That way no one is subconsciously setting for advantage.

I'm not great at setting up boards but when I do I always try very hard to make board edge make a difference. If the setup is too mirrored then the decision to go first or pick side isn't very interesting.

Once it goes live look up the Cluster method of deployment in Steamroller 2017 documents. We find it to be a great way to get meaningful terrain on the board and affecting the game state.

Northkin CID is up and there's plenty of good poo poo in there already. Borka 2 changes, Sea King went way down in points, lots of other rad stuff even aside from the new models. e: Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes: This quality of life addition will help some of the lower fury Warlocks field the Kriel Stone and keep it fueled throughout the game. Awaken the Stone (★Action). The Leader of the Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribe unit gains the Awaken the Stone (★Action) special rule: This model gains d3 fury points. !!!! Also: Theme Force changes: In this CID cycle we are testing a new core rules change that will change the way Theme Forces work. In addition to the models that are allowed in a Theme Force, a player may take one Mercenary/Minion Solo, Unit and Battle Engine. The goal for this change is to allow for deeper list building inside of themes lists by allowing for more options while remaining thematic. The Mercenary/Minion model must be able to work for the faction taking it, it doesn't become a free-for-all. Additionally, please note that with the current wording that Mercenary and Minion theme forces will remain unchanged with this rule and will not be able to include these additional models types.
