Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



I've been waiting for the physical cards to drop to really dive into this more than a skim of spoilers.

Gonna head out to WM night and pick up my Circle Deck and BB tonight at the FLGS, sounds like I'm gonna have a really bad time!

Here's what I've come up with so far. Sadly, I dont think I can get Ol' Rowdy or Ace in here because I'm stuck with a Firefly and 2 Lancers.

Why are you stuck with a second Lancer? Personally, I'd much rather take a Charger rather than a second Lancer.

I heard from my local shop that they'll be getting their full order (4x everything) because Alliance got a new local sales rep and the store manager played hardball, threatening to drop Alliance due to previous history of missed shipping, bad quality, bad customer service, etc.

From one of the guys in the shop during a phone call to the rep apparently it got pretty heated and this guy vented about 2 years of frustrations with the previous rep onto the new one and left him with the ultimatum "either we get this order or this is the last call your company will make on this shop."

We're all very happy with our new store manager. Dude's even got his P&L in the black for 3 solid months.

The game is ruined, I'm going to eBay all my models, everything sucks, Privateer Press is turning into Gamesworkshop.

No wait, poo poo, that was when cavalry was announced, or epic casters, or battle engines, or colossals.

They're fine. The games core is still intact and that's what I like about it. They've only been available for 2 week we will have to see how poo poo shakes out.

I haven't played since Mk. 1. I recently started picking up Mk. 2, a couple weeks before, unbeknownst to me, that Mk. 3 would drop. Just didn't know how out of the water I would be or if Mk. 3 made it any more infantry/cavalry machine.

Is Runes of War still good? That's the list I bought for Mk. 3.

With the huge increase in battlegroup bonus points you simply can't bring as much infantry/cavalry as you could in MK2. There's also a lot more straight up infantry hate. Early on at least there's going to be a lot of jacks and beasts running around.

I hate that you need the new casters for jouneyman. I am holding out for the 2 player with my buddy so we can get the 'free" infantry units.

Since I have the preorder in at that shop, i wonder if they would let me proxy Xekaar

That was a tier list, and tier lists don't exist in MK3 yet, they'll be released later this year.

My store got a full box of loose cards to give to people with purchase of older MK2 models. It has the equivalent of 2 boxes of each of the card sets.

Since the warmachine wall isn't fully stocked, they're gonna replace cards and sell the extras for 25c ea.

Yeah, those replacement cards came with the release kits that had 4 of each BB.

So far one store in my area successfully got their MK3 order fulfilled from ACD. The biggest store said that their order should arrive tomorrow, although he is going to check with his distributor today to ensure that his order got fulfilled.

My local hobby shop is off my poo poo list, since they actually got my pre-order in without a hitch. I don't think he actually got any other starters in yet though, meaning the journeyman is going to be very interesting if it actually starts next weekend.

I'm kind of tempted to just dump all of my old factions and only have Ret, partially to force myself to play a single faction instead of jumping back and forth between factions all the time

I'll only have 3 or 4 so it's hardly spam. But I do wanna try it out with Morghoul 1, Naaresh, and Makeda 3.

I have been looking at trying to find a Cyclops spam list. I have narrowed it down to either trying it with X2 or Hex 1 (lol)

A bunch of savages that already have future sight and the ability to modify rolls even more seems hilarious.

And for Hex1, I figure hilarious things could happen on feat turn with a bunch of savages being able to kill off targets that might actually be good in melee.

This seems backwards. What's wrong with mobility? Needing to recast it every turn? Cost 3? Zero X2 experience so legitimately curious.
