Thanks dudes. I brought him in a tag team with the MK at my event Saturday. Turns out together they have a pretty good ranged assassination. Of course after the fact we realized I shot down Sorscha1 with the GK, woops. But we agreed I probably would have won it anyway. Neither one of us will forget cold type or cold immunity next time I bet!

Troll frost king is really really good. I am glad someone said something about snow because the snow makes the model even cooler


Edit: He deserves to be on top of the new page.

I finally finished my Glacier King so now everyone gets pic spam. A friend at our event yesterday suggested I add snow to the whelp on the base. That got me thinking, and I wound up making a mini-GK. :keke:













(I really like drinky whelp riding on top, too.)

Crusaders are good

Cinerators are probably playable with vindictus. Maybe high reclaimer too. Blackclads still see use I guess.

From Cygnar, the Defender and Ironclad are solid. The Cyclone is ok but it's kind of a niche pick.

Yeah, it's sounding super duper promising. Here's a summary I found:

quote:

Summary (changes are not yet finalized but currently being play tested)
- rhinodons arm 18, st up to 11, tail range 2 with crit KD
-X2 loses mobility gains battle host
- cataphracts gain tough
- centrati gain set defense
- actuari lose CRA gain weapon master on ranged attack
- incendiari go to pow 13
- all cataphract pt cost under review
- Xekaar unlikely to change
- makeda 1 lose subjugation gains field marshal shield guard
- swordsmen go to mat 7, lose show of force but gain power swell
-archidon go to str 10 and gains long leash, it's reduced to 10
- pain givers gain prodding : ff warbeasts btb with this model charges for free
- kreas animus gains +2 arm again
- morgul 2 fury 6
- aradius soldier 16 pts
- aradius sentinel to see substantial change
- gladiator to 15 pts many changes to warbeasts points
- reptile hounds 3 pts a piece
- lots of minor tweaks
- "stay tuned for a change to gargantuans and collosals" !!!!!

This seems like a lot. Almost too much. Are all of these changes expected to be made or are they just what is being playtested? If all of these go through does that make Skorne really good or just on par with other factions?

Because at cost 10 it's a total monster now! Good changes, but I still don't see some sort of overarching "identity" to the changes that was missing before. Just raw power level increases which is obviously a good thing, but I was sort of hoping for some more thematic changes across the board.

GoodBee posted:

It says to me that they are not just trying to make models better, but also more interesting conceptually. The idea they mention is the Archidon scouts ahead, taking out key solos or pieces before swooping back with sprint. That's a cool idea and has a nice visual touch so Long Leash makes it possible, or at least much easier to accomplish.

I don't just want Skorne to be better mechanically, I want it to be a cool faction with its own style. All these changes look great.

It got buried deep on that forum thread, but they mentioned wanting to do a 3 man Mortitheurge wizard unit and that would be the coolest thing to me.

At least they seem to address that a bit in the thread where they mention going back to the drawing board with what makes Skorne, well, Skorne. I really hope they keep focused on that.

I believe Tower Hobbies Games is in that area? I think they have a wmh scene, but thats all based on them being mentioned in podcasts, not me ever playing there or even stepping foot inside the state of Minnesota.

There are a bunch of nights. We meet at the Source Monday nights (around 6 or earlier, store is open till 9), I think Tower Games in Minneapolis is tuesday nights, Thursday nights people meet at Fantasy Flight Event Center which is open later than other stores. Otherwise some of us get together at Fantasy Flight randomly on weekends. There is a twin cities warmachine facebook page you can probably find. There is a pretty decent scene here with people from other cities making it up for tournaments and such.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I have two but I cant make room for them with everything costing so much now. Also so few people at my store use defensive upkeeps.

To the guy selling circle stuff, I'm getting into guild ball so I'm going to hold off on hordes purchases. Good to hear you're unloading the stuff anyway.

Yeah I also have two they can be a really nasty surprise when paired with a pureblood for that sweet, sweet blessed shot. Really punishes arcane shield and that sort of stuff. I run them with Mohsar who has an arm debuff, so i can really swing piles of damage into things. Especially stormwalls that think they are safe behind arcane shield :getin:

E: Also that is me I was that guy. I ended up trading like 80% of it away for some sweet, sweet trollblood.

E:E: Guildball is fun and has lots of interaction which is good and cool

Copied from the trollblood Facebook;

" So I got the new NQ and while it doesn't specifically have the entire theme list used the BatRep this is the summery of what's called out

+2" Deployment
Warrior models are granted Takedown
For ever 20 points of Longriders, Champions or Warders you get a free command attachment or medium based solo"

Their is a picture of the list used and so far I can make out that no pyg units for sure.

If the allowed warriors are only the more expensive multi wound infantry, it's less of an issue. I want to see what the restrictions are before really worrying about them. So the world won't fall until the middle of next week.

Finally bothered to put H3 on the table.

Ended up losing to a Gunnbjorn player when he crit dev'd Haley and then shot me twice with Dozer and Smigg.

Gunnbjorn does have a pretty good anti-Cygnar feat too. Literally no damage from shooting is such a nut punch even to combined arms forces, I can't imagine it with a more pure gun line like you get out of Haley3.

Actually my list was pretty melee heavy, but a turn of not being able to hit his fennblades with my storm lance shots or his Mountain King with my jacks was a pretty big deal.
