Does anyone know if L+L lists were posted anywhere? Usually Discountgamesinc.com has tournament lists, but they haven't updated.

I did a dumb conversion (not like I was using these plastic warriors for anything else): Here's the old original for comparison. Pretty sure this was the first Trollblood infantry I ever painted. Kept the new guy a little simple to help him blend in a bit. He's hilariously oversized compared to the scribe models, but that's appropriate in this case probs.

Yah did good there! Also playing Cephalyx tonight was something else. Only two big hitters and the rest as dudes was super fun. It was tight game and I did lose after failing an assassination against Rasheth(fatty getting impervious flesh to all damage succccks) but had a great time none the less.

In the new No Quarter, the protectorate is on the verge of civil war and about to pull out of the Northern Crusade. Last I checked, they were cleaning house up there, so I suspect I've missed all the books. Is there some resource we've got to keep track of the lore now that it's all Skull Island?

The Protectorate only really features in Godless, the events of which are what Gravus and Vilmon are discussing so that's not really much help (though it's a good read and Tristan and Malekus are great bros.) Other than a cameo in The Blood Of Kings I don't think there's any other meaningful Protectorate appearance in the SIX books. I just finished Aftershock today and if PP doesn't give Cygnar Magnus 3 soon I will write an open letter on the Official Forums™ to express my displeasure.

But yeah, Feora's faction and the Sevvy-loyal faction are setting up for some conflict, with Tristan caught in the middle.

I've been away from the fluff for so long, what's the casualty list? I know Goreshade is -1 there. What ended up happening with the skorne invasion of Ios?

The issue comes mostly from envy of the 9 point charger, which has a better gun with 2 shots. Or the Cyclone for a few more points and 2d3 shots. Its also painful that if caine3 could take gun bunnies he would be super happy.

Maaaaan, Morghoul 3 is bonkers. Jammed the world with drudges, feated such that all of his infantry and frontline were dead, it's basically had nothing. I still had 4 monstrosities and was camping 3 focus on Thexus, but his 4 remaining cat-rider leaping bastards all toughed, two of them twice (?!) so he just feated and charged me through a whole table full of men, missed 4 (!!) Attacks and still murdered Thexus the wet tissue handily. Lord. If he'd just run at me for two turns with his whole army and nothing else, there's pretty much nothing I could do to stop him murdering me on turn three. Terrifying! And im basically immune to blind, would be mortified playing against him with a non combat caster in a regular army!

I wanted to ask about sportsmanship / friendly games vs Grymkin. I was playing Tanith into Heretic, activated my wyrd and shot down some pigs with fury on them. I wasn't rushing, I took some time deciding to activate reeves next to try to finish off the unit. As soon as I declared the reeve's activation next, my opponent says "Oh, after the wyrd killed that pig, I'm activating Shroud." I said okay, I get to take back my activation then, which he agreed to. I activated another unit instead, but the choice was not nearly as good as using the reeves then. I know the faction is new but, it felt really crappy to have let him known my intended order of activation, and backpedal to use an Arcana and mess that up. What are others' thoughts on this, how much leeway should someone give during a friendly game on activating arcana?

As a Magic player, (a game where priority issues are occasionally a hilarious problem), I'd say he gets the benefit of the doubt this time, since it's a new mechanic and gimmick, but remind him to be a bit more mindful in the future. In casual games, I'd add a slight pause/"Ok?" between activations to give them a chance, but if it was a timed game, I'd be less generous.

Saalkin posted:Cryx is getting a new slayer kit. What the heck! It's part of the move away from soft plastic/restic to hard plastic. I've heard good things, but after seeing how my hydra turned out I am skeptical. I'm not talking about the small issue with the flesh hooks on one side of some necks. The kit itself was the worst thing I've ever had to put together for any game period. It looks incredible, but just getting the head in place was an act of god, and somehow I had to bend the plastic of the body to get them all to fit. Maybe I've been spoiled by GW and Wyrd kits, but I expect better out of a hard plastic design than this.

The Storm Raptor was fantastic, a few guys around here bought one and had nothing bad to say about it. The Grolar and Stormblade kits are fantastic too, and so is the plastic Convergence Colossal I've been putting together. I honestly have no idea how they managed to screw up the Hydra the way that they did.

But the new Helios kit is the single best model I've ever assembled. So I think there was some learning that happened with the very first stuff

My friend is mad jelly about my Rinny, lol Adjacent to that subject our cygnar player was given fits by my madhammer list. Primed kayazy had his striker 2 storm patrol paralyzed for like a half an hour. He was insisting i should get another unit of assassins for two waves. People generally poo poo madhammer so I was surprised one of our best players was impressed with what the caster could do. Now I'm trying to work out a real madhammer list instead of futzing around with goofy crap

If the issue is the change in material for the hydra (it was supposed to be metal & resin, but they couldn't get to produced well) that speaks more to the kit just being very hard to produce than the plastic process PP uses as being crap. I've honestly not seen anyone use the new plastic jack kits yet, so if they are pretty good I'll just take it to be that the hydra is awful.
