Anyone interested in buying some Legion or Trolls? I have big lots I'm willing to move for way cheap. I'm out of this game and they're taking up space.

Does anybody know if the full versions of the junior Warcasters are steamroller legal? I know they got pre released but couldn't find a definitive answer.

waah posted:So I got my first game in with Morg3 this week. I... am not sure what to think of him. I had the following lovely list. I have about a dozen games with M3 under me belt at this point nihilators made the list variation after the third game and have stuck since. The amount of clearing they can do under his feat can be monstrous. Reivers are what have really made the list hum for me, from memory at a SR last weekend I played: Morg Marketh Despoiler Gladiator Cyclops Shaman Willbreaker Min Handlers Nihilators Reivers+UA. Mirage let's the reivers aim pretty freely and goes on Morghoul around turn 3 to turn his threat range up.

I ran a Naaresh version of this theme last night, with 5 Savages, a Shaman, and a Wrastler. Turns out to be real funny when a 7 point light handily one rounds a 19 point heavy.

Luebbi posted:I'd argue that Rebuke is even worse, and upkeepable. I spent games where my 20 point cavalry unit could do basically nothing, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Most arcnodes die after they get out their round of spells, but once your Stormlances have Rebuke, they csn't get rid of it. Distraction has to be reapplied. Distraction is stronger because it isn't an upkeep, so you can target multiple units and not have it removed by upkeep removal.

Or you play into Jaws of the Wolf and get speed 3 heavies with no AD.

Speed 3 heavies lost their remaining value when you got two theme forces that remove AD, the only reason they are speed 3.

Ugh. Had a terrible showing at a big tournament in Atlanta over the weekend. Ended the day 1-4, and every game I lost I was completely crushing until I doofed up. On the flip side, watching the Harkevich player's face drop when I just backed out of range of his flock of heavies to wait out his feat before counter-feating with Rasheth was so, so good.

S.J. posted:Over commit with your caster? That's a bad habit of mine. Only in one of the games, and it was less an overcommit and more of a "not back the gently caress up" moment where I accidentally left a lane for a Mobility'd Dervish to get to Tubby. Two I got locked out on scenario between terrain and some blocking Gargantuans and one I unfortunately clocked as I was killing his caster. Every game I was utterly dominant on attrition but I wasn't contesting their scoring elements enough in live scenarios. Too used to Grymkin still and being able to just throw a Gremlin Swarm out there to contest trivially.

Then we'll have the last 3 weeks of of our CID ruined by people who will never play Skorne complaining about Skorne. Only to find out once CID is over that all the complainers kept Skorne from getting anything decent. You've got a bigger risk from actual Skorne players ruining it. Theres some dimwit in the Facebook group who appears like magic if you mention the Hydra and he says it's so strong it can face tank Champions and bears.

He also calls the Supreme Guardian terrible, and that Exalted as a theme doesn't have a weakness into heavy armor. He's a real special case.

neonchameleon posted:Literally the only Skorne non-caster warrior models with multiple attacks who are playable in theme with Makeda (other than Marketh who's losing them) either (a) have easy access to side step as they are praetorian swordsmen or legends and can ignore tough in theme, (b) are ferox with leap, a 2" base, and a 2" reach one side and a bite the other and can ignore tough in theme, (c) are nihilators and not in a theme with Marketh (d) are Ancestral Guardians, or (e) are character models; Zaadesh, Hakaar, and Vorkesh. As I said to a friend, it's a change that stinks of Soles, since he can't design his way out of a paper bag. Edit- and Nihilators are only in a theme she explicitly cant be used in.

Skorne is one of the best factions in the game before these changes, to call them not competitive is laughable. As for Xekaar, his feat is really strong and Chiron makes him worth playing. I took him to several events including a WMW qualifier. Yeah, his survivability can be a problem. I just camp 5 or 6 every turn.
