They've been saying you'll be able to order single cards from them 'eventually', without giving any sort of time frame. I'm not sure why this wouldn't have been a Day 1 thing but v  v

I'm having a blast with Mk 3 because there's like a million things I want to try out, and I keep playing against different stuff. I guess that might wear off as people settle into 'the best' stuff but I think with Power Up and some of the other rules adjustments the core of the game is just more fun overall now too.

That's a good point. We have some enthusiastic Hordes players around here but admittedly all the games I've played so far have been Warmachine on Warmachine. I heard that there was a big tournament in Edmonton on the weekend with 30 some-odd entrants, only 7 of which were Hordes and 14 of which were Khador. e: I do want to get my Circle back on the table at some point and see if I'm less terrible at them in Mk 3 but I am not at all sure how they work now.

Geisladisk posted:It's a heavy 'jack that provides it's own focus. That's about it. It was probably more useful back in Mk2, when focus was at more of a premium. I really want to try one with the Bastion Seneschal marshalling it, since it will benefit from Crush!, be able to load itself with Focus, and due to the drive won't lose any effectiveness until it's dead. I'm not sure it's more than a goofy gimmick, but it sounds too fun not to try at least once. e: More generally, Spd 5 reach heavy with two initials isn't a bad thing to have.

That is an awesome looking Fulcrum. I dunno what I think about the new book strategy PP has (described here). It sounds like there might be periods where one faction has got a bunch of rad new stuff and everyone else has to sort of hang on until their book drops however much later. Presumably they'll work it out, but it sounds like a pretty difficult model to keep working smoothly. e: I do think that not sticking to releases being strictly symmetrical is probably a good move. I'd rather they bring out models that are cool and well-conceived than worrying about 'well, Faction X needs a new colossal this time around too, sooooo' Giant Tourtiere fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Aug 11, 2016 |

So I'm looking at Vindictus (shut up) and I have a dumb question. True Path says you get the movement bump 'when advancing as part of their normal movement' and Pathfinder. I'm guessing that a charge doesn't count as normal movement? Does a run?

Rad, that's better than I thought then. I guess the spell is disallowing stuff like Reposition then? (I am now uncertain what *isn't* Normal Movement, haha)

My plan is to try a min unit of Zealots to be his entourage and get Call to Sacrificed but it might not end up being worth the points I guess. Trying to figure what the best jacks will be to take advantage of Admonition.

I had my first game with Thyra tonight. I'm not playing the list well yet - I don't get a lot out of Side Step and I kept forgetting to Apparition Blood of Martyrs, but it seems like it will be really really fun when I get the hang of it. I'd think it's a bit of a curveball from what people usually expect from Menoth as well, but it's a lot of infantry and so some stuff would murderize it bad. Anyone with positive or negative Thyra experiences?

So somehow I've ended up going to a team tournament in a few months and I think what I need to do is pick my lists and practice the poo poo out of them. After making myself unhappy trying to pick 'the best' casters I also think I'm just gonna roll with two that I feel like I know how to play. However, I'd be super interested to know what people cleverer than me make of the following pairing. (Severius 2) Hierarch Severius [+26] - Blessing of Vengeance [13] - Redeemer [11] - Reckoner [16] - Devout [9] - Reckoner [16] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Visgoth Juviah Rhoven & Honor Guard [9] Idrian Skirmishers (max) [15] - Idrian Skirmisher Chieftain & Guide [5] Allegiant of the Order of the Fist [3] Objective probably Bunker, and Protectorate Army - 75 / 75 points (Thyra 1) Thyra, Flame of Sorrow [+29] - Blood of Martyrs [16] - Templar [15] - Devout [9] - Hierophant [3] Daughters of the Flame [10] Daughters of the Flame [10] Flame Bringers (max) [17] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Nicia, Tear of Vengeance [5] Temple Flameguard (max) [11] - Temple Flameguard Officer & Standard [4] Also probably Bunker again. I just like playing Thyra, ok?

Is there a good rule of thumb or general guideline type thingy for figuring out optimal use of CMAs? Like tonight I had 8 TFG models attacking a jack and was more or less baffled by trying to figure out what the best math was. (Target was DEF 13 ARM 19, TFG are MAT 6 and were hitting at POW 12 because they had Silence of Death on) I eventually did a bunch of 2 man CMAs because I honestly just wanted to stop thinking about it; it felt like a bad math test flashback. If there is any kind of general rule to follow in these kinds of situations I would be very grateful.

Yeah they seem to be going down a very similar path with Themes where by and large you're going to end up being a dummy not using them, which is unfortunate. I think opening them up as much as they have may have been a mistake in that regard. But, ambushing Daughters is going to be awesome, so never mind. 'Vassal Models/Units' is an interesting tidbit.

Yeah in general if you know you're out-threatted you either need to throw something disposable out front to bait out their alpha and then counterpunch or punish them on scenario for staying out of your threat. On some scenarios that's easier than others obviously. Run to jam so you can advance other stuff into striking range isn't the worst idea either. When I was first starting out I got super stressed out about infantry dying but basically you're gonna lose dudes virtually every game. The main thing is to make sure that the guys who are dying are still serving a purpose that lets you kill more of the other guy's dudes in return.

parabolic posted:I sure hope it's empower. It sorta sounds like they grant magical weapons to warjacks "These Greylords apply their knowledge of magic and mechanika to imbue the weapons of warjacks with the power needed to cut down unnatural foes who are more than flesh and steel." I know that when it was taken off of the Koldun Lord there was talk that Khador would get it again so I'm optimistic. I think Larsen said on Twitter that it's Empower.

I'm not looking forward to assembling them but I am looking forward to them never getting hit with Defender's Ward and working in the new Flameguard theme force Flame Bringers are pretty rad.

Probably a stupid question, but Molten Metal says it does 1 damage to each column in a jack's damage grid. If the column is already filled, does it overflow to the next as usual, or is it just lost?

Ok I'm confused by War Room yet again. They've changed the implementation of the Theme Forces so it no longer automatically makes solos free when possible (so in the Guardians of the Temple theme, it doesn't automatically drop Nicia to 0 pts when you qualify), it just appends them with 'can be free'. How do I tell it that yes, I want to make that thing free? Because otherwise the list shows as being over points and while I'm sure most people can (literally) do the math, it would be better if there was a way to get the list showing up as legal.

Had my first Feora3 game last night. Incite lets you do some ridiculous stuff, but I have the feeling she's gonna be pretty assassinate-able. (This game was against a Durst list with literally no shooting, so she could just sit behind her lines shining Incite all over them) I'm also not too sure she's got much of a Plan B going on, which is a bit of an issue once people adjust to what Incite-d things can do.

I am really liking Vassals atm so I would probably go that route. You don't need Rhupert's pathfinder song too much there and I find Tough so unreliable that I wouldn't put him in just for that. The Book is never a bad pick though.

Redeemer(s) with Feora3 - funny idea that isn't worth actually doing or workable concept? Once they can aim (which is almost always) under Incite they're up to effective RAT 5 and with Incite+Battle the rockets are POW 16. I've only tried it once and that was into the Menoth mirror so obviously not as effective as it might possibly be.

xiw posted:I just picked up cheap flame bringers by accident, tell me about them! Flame Bringers are rad. If you can throw a defensive spell on them or give them stealth (Thyra) they get really ridiculous but just on their own they're a super unit. Fast, they hit hard, and with Parry, Side Step and Repo 5 they can really hit and fade. If your opponent doesn't dedicate resources to killing them they can tear a lot up and don't necessarily need any support to do it. That can be a bit of a curveball for opponents who don't expect something in Menoth to be able to do those things. I guess their main drawback is that they are really fragile and once your opponent does get to grips with them they die pretty fast. However, I find by that time (assuming I haven't made any mistakes) they have either more than pulled their weight in killing things or distracted a huge amount of attention their way. I never regret bringing them. e: I haven't run 2 units yet but I'm really tempted to try it with Thyra.
