jubelio posted:I think that there is room to be annoyed by dumb stuff and still have a 'fine' game. They are definitely opening themselves up to more scrutiny by promising shorter ruling cycles if they dont deal with the bullshit though. They aren't actually promising shorter cycles though. We've had a summerish and winterish errata cycle for a few years now, with short interruptions when something needed fixing quick.

It would be a real nice stealth apology to Mercnar if Magnus 3 made mercs friendly faction to cygnar.

Excelsiortothemax posted:How so? Spoilers from prime: They recount the tale of Goreshade leading an assault on the fane of scyrah that happened sometime during the time jump. They are deliberately vague because its going to be a skull island novel, but it says that in this dire time, Scyrah showed she still has great power and performs some miracle. Then, "an as yet unnamed champion of Scyrah" drove the undead from the fane. Combined with a new line in Vyros's bio about how recent events making it unlikely he will get his vengeance on Goreshade, good money says she Rezes Goreshade humbling him in the process and turning him back to Ios' side. I don't know if I'm missing anything.

FrostyPox posted:So Caine 3 will probably be a merc Would be interesting if a Khadoran caster became a Menite, and maybe Feora ousts Kreoss after Severius dies and he fucks off back to Khador. and then they can raise Severius as a Cryx caster and everyone gets one. it's a lot harder to find any swaps in hordes tho.

Thinking about it, a Croak warlock that allies itself with the trollbloods in the subcontinent they're moving to could be an interesting partisan warlock for trolls.

I enjoyed it more than blood of kings, I don't know if I would say its better written though. I also binged it on a comfy chair at Lock and Load while waiting for the edition to start so who knows for real.

I like that the official response from PP thus far on the confusion on the size of walls not being defined anywhere in prime is to go with the wall sizes specified in prime. Which, for those of you paying attention, don't exist.

The ongoing Walls problem is making me mad. Apparently prime refers to the Basic Training guide from the battleboxes that 90% of people probably threw out, and the wall template in there is 1/4th an inch shorter than the wall templates we have been using for forever, for reasons.

That may be true, but its also been something that PP has been upfront about CoC since the beginning about, and I also think releasing more standalone factions would be interesting than the forever creep of the main 9 + mercs and minions, especially if the upcoming faction is added onto that.

DC also has left PP entirely, so CoC players hoping for more releases are probably going to be really sad in the long run.

Literally The Worst posted:so how are the new theme books going to work, the NQ article wasn't parsing right in my brain for some reason The theme forces are going to be actual book releases. They haven't really been fully upfront about it yet, especially when lock and load was the perfect place to do it, but I suspect the theme force books are gonna replace the anthology books as the main method of delivering new models. They're going to contain entries for all the existing models that will work for that theme, as well as brand new ones. the new ones may or may not be exclusive to the theme, they were kind of unclear. Thinking of them as subfractions wouldn't be off the mark, going for a more wider view of the game rather than just pumping out standard fare stuff forever.

Every single person that believed that the Piper and Fell Yeller's March was changed, while Runewood's and I think someone elses wasn't, and didn't think it was just a typo in this release full of typos was being willfully ignorant, and is one of the many reasons I hate those forums.

Or will the new Aaikos be Aaikos1, and his previous iteration be Aaikos Jr? This is a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION (probably only to me). I am certain they will be Aaikos2 et al. They have been called so specifically by PP staff.

rkajdi posted:Have they said what the plan for Fianna, the Legion character, is yet? She never was a caster since that would give them two and only Cygnar gets that. So she was stuck as a "super solo" who never was that super. Are they planning on at least making her a Lesser Warlock now? She's going to be a full warlock, Everblight warlocks don't really have a junior training phase, see Kyrssa. They just sorta get the Anthanc in the chest.

GoodBee posted:I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm assuming collectors box is a battlegroup and I could use some more merc jacks. Hungerford confirms he isn't, and you shouldn't assume that. the Haley box was her, some pins and a book. Neither was the butcher or kromac boxes. It's probably going to just be the caster, the cards and pin like they said on primecast.

The biggest thing that has troubled me about feeling like Jason Soles/PP has no idea what they're doing is that the laundry list of things nerfed does more or less line up with things that people only took because of themes.

They're meant to be an dude focused faction; it was repeated a number of times through the cast that their infantry is the real strength. Yes, and mark 3 contains a metric gently caress ton of infantry hate and a requirement to take a bunch of points in beasts. Also, as a long time troll player lol @ protective aura battle engine good luck with that.

chutche2 posted:So a lot of their casters are just going to run at minimum beast points with the arcane vortex guy, and either some lights or some shield guard lessers. So what? That's 75 points of fantastic infantry. Like I just said, there is a lot more infantry hate this edition and also you should wait till the end of the CID before calling anything fantastic. Also, without variety in list building poo poo will get old quick. Also, 2 heavies seems lazy as poo poo considering almost everything else they put out is a multi kit these days. Just come up with another set of arms or some poo poo and give people list building options. I'm not saying its gonna be bad, I'm saying its not well thought out given this is a limited faction.

My hypothesis on this has always been that yes Scyrah and Nyssor have to die, but like Morrow and Thamar some elves need to ascend to godhood to fill their void.
