Good game, dude! Holy poo poo Sword Knights + Rhupert are just god drat mean.

Even without Rhupert. 8's to hit when you're mat 7. That was depressing. Having them tar pit and devour a unit of errants and knights was unexpected to say the least. I expected them to be poo poo like in MkII.

Also, I am really bad at this game now. I shouldn't have taken like 4 years off. To be fair I was bad before but I was playing Cygnar during MkII and I was too proud to play either Haley.

I think I'll swap in indrians and see how they do. Also I won't totally waste Kreoss's feat.

So here is why high reclaimer is loving nuts in mk3:

- sac lamb + power boost = reckoners and redeemer all have 2 focus for the cost of 1 TFG or choir guy. Even with the choir nerf thats a LOT of boosted shots. Reckoner went to base pow 14, so pow 16 now.

-Hand of Fated Idrians. The play seems to be prey their caster, because hand of fate fixes their rat enough to kill whatever they need WITHOUT prey. Then the feat/HOF assassination is always in play, and it will keep their caster out of the game, or they just die.

-HR feat is d3+5 dudes. They activate normally, no sac combat action restrictions or anything. They get placed in control, in formation, no other restrictions. So its pretty easy to feat back 6-8 idrians in aim or walk and shoot range of their caster. If your opponent didnt kill enough to make that work, kill them yourself before HR activates and feats.

The math on this is pretty good, single shots are rat 7 pow 13, hand of fate effect. So, a 15/16 caster with 3 camp is the target. Assuming I get 8 idrian shots, I hit on 8's with hand of fate, which is probably in the ballpark of 65% to hit (I think). Damage rolls are at -3, with hof that is probably ~5 damage per hit. So if I hit 6 times, you spend your 3 camp and then take about 15 damage and are probably very close to death.

That doesn't account for the fact that high reclaimer can do lots of spell damage before the idrians activate, and my list has 2 reckoners and a redeemer. If one of the reckoners hits you first, youre turbo dead because its a boosted 16 and your now flared.
I havent had a real assassination caster in PoM that I enjoyed playing , but HR is sickkkkk

Don't you have to make sure at least a few troopers in the unit remain alive? He can't bring back dudes in a unit that was wiped off the table right?

Also why the book in mk3? That thing is garbage.

So apparently the Warmachine upgraded juniors are all getting collectors boxes pre releases at gen con.

How do you make a dude with a name like "Tristan" seem intimidating? Tristan isn't driving war jacks. He's woofing down orange slices at half time, getting a side stitch 5 minutes into the second half, falling over clutching his side before vomiting up said orange slices. His helicopter mom then immediately calls an ambulance because nothing like his has ever happened to poor perfect little Tristan before.

Okay, looking over the model ranges, I'm thinking Legion might be my favorites. Especially if I can get lots of stumpy, eyeless little guys and swarm the field in ugly-cuteness.

I think hot/cold color schemes look really cool on legion. Like a cool grayish blue for the armor plate and a strong orange for the flesh.

For Cryx at least, the caster is definitely a different blend than the warjacks. With the jacks, you can scrape moldlines clean, but the softer material in the caster feathers when you try to clean it up.

I doubt it's actually a different blend. It's probably just good ole fashion manufacturing inconsistency.

Someone had to leave before the last round of the launch event Saturday, so I borrowed the models a circle player wasn't using from his eKaya list and proxied the others. My opponent left two scytheans just inside a 12" zone while my feral and stalker were just outside of it on the opposite end. Hunter's mark one, dog pile the other, pop feat and the stalker rolled 5 5 6 on his charge damage and my opponent just went 'well that's the game'.

It really was. Two dead scytheans for a total of four fury on my beasts.

For warcasters I have Butcher, Butcher2, Zerkova, Irusk, Vlad2 and Karchev if that makes a difference.
