This sounds like more of a philosophical question than a rules one. Edit: if dice fall in the middle of a forest and nobody is around to see it, did you hit?

They should get pathfinder back. Compare the wording on Kolgrima with Baldur1. Even abilities like Relentless Charge get around her feat.

5 new Menoth Models previewed in the Dev Hangout. Rather cringey video, as the spoiler detail for the new caster Cyrenia? was Hungerford saying "Oh she's going going be super intolerant, crazy religious, but a lady....." Exemplar Cinerator Officer grants Shield Guard plus "lots of other stuff". Hand Of Silence mounted Reclaimer solo gathers souls. Exemplar Warder warcaster attachment is a "combat focused" model with Guard Dog. Structure that's a big Church, no details given other than "looks cool". Full CID should be out next week. Maybe a few Menoth casters can actually survive after a charge with a guard dog now. Cinerators all having Shield Guard + Vengeance seems cool. Thoughts?

How is that cringey? The protectorate set you on fire in a public square if you are caught stealing. The Harbringer let a group of Morrowan refugees get turned into meat for Cryx because their leading priest didn’t immediately give up the god he worshipped all his life. I just don’t see the cringe factor.

Guard Dog on a model like Thyra seems Real Good, and Cinerators with Shield Guard seems Real Good. Maybe this mounted Reclaimer will be a better Jack Marshal than what we have currently Maybe the structure is Severius' tomb. Excelsiortothemax posted:How is that cringey? The protectorate set you on fire in a public square if you are caught stealing. The priest said he would and didn't mean it and Harbinger figured it out pretty quick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkikHs6cCI This is the dev hangout with Menoth teasers, minute 6 to 11 ish. It's tough to get through them trying make up a distracted boyfriend meme, and not really land it. Then just repeating that Cyrenia is lady several times as a unique selling point.

lokipunk posted:Guy quitting because "themes is cancer" As someone just getting started, I have trouble with theme forces. Their use doesn't seem optional. For the price of restricted unit list, you bet a bonus ~15% points in a 75 point game. That's calculated including the warlock bonus. That's the view from someone who hasn't played a game. Maybe in practice the restrictions really do balance out the bonus points?

Maneck posted:As someone just getting started, I have trouble with theme forces. Their use doesn't seem optional. They don't. It's a game design tactic to improve balance by reducing the number of variables in competitive play by unofficially breaking the game into subfactions. You can technically play out of tier, but it's not really viable, and they can put strict restrictions on tier composition. This is the DesignSpace we were warned about. Edit: I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, even though I personally don't like it. If, say, Hand of Judgement is considered broken with Malekus, they don't need to nerf HoJ or Malekus. They separate them by tiers and keep both models strong. My flgs has a mix of casual and competitive players, and "are you playing in tier or not" has become shorthand for "how competitive a game are we playing" Alpha Phoenix fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Apr 30, 2018 |

   Had a great game at a charity event (we raised over £1200 for our untimely deceased former PG's charity of choice). Dropped my Maelok list into this Kallus2 Ogrun list as I thought a Dracodile vs Blightbringer and Posse vs Ogrun would be awesome to watch, especially all painted. Unfortunately the Dracodile never got to charge in on the big guy, but I'm really enjoying Maelok, and pulled out a 5-0 scenario win.

Idk probably because it gives people incentive to buy for multiple themes rather than just one

Dude I'm pretty sure those boxes were released before the vast majority of themes were released anyways. They were mostly mirroring the similarly priced all in one boxes from a year or two earlier.

It's pretty inevitable in a 15 year old game. The model release bloat has to keep rolling to stay in business, but the more good models that exist, the more unpredictable combinations crop up. Factions have triple or more the number of options that they had in mk1, and since PP is dedicated to keeping new models balanced and interesting (or at least unique), they need to reign it in by creating a system where a Circle wold army is utterly unique from a beast spam Circle army, which is nearly unique from an infantry Circle army. To their credit, the worst models in Warmachine are still playable, and the faction balance is nearly perfect. Other games just let old models be bad and literally unplayable. The current iteration of tiers makes a subfaction split is technically optional, since there has been great outcry over "invalidating models" in the past. It lets them add new models that could have broken combinations without worrying as much. It's more obvious in Menoth than other factions. I can't take Flame Bringer cav in the same tier as Venger cav, and Paladin solo cav can't go in either tier. It pains my old Brettonian heart.
