Kithkar posted:So apparently the Warmachine upgraded juniors are all getting collectors boxes pre releases at gen con. Weird semantics question: Will the new Aaikos (et al) be Aaikos2? Even though it's the first Aaikos Warcaster, technically, kind of? Or will the new Aaikos be Aaikos1, and his previous iteration be Aaikos Jr? This is a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION (probably only to me).

evenworse username posted: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) Reposition is not normal movement, nor is sprint. Just that block of activation where you say "I activate, that unit advances/charges/tramples/runs, and then..." And yeah, Vindictus is awesome, and will be awesomer when the KE UA drops in a month. Delivering her with his feat and a speed buff is insane.

KPC_Mammon posted:My friend who plays Menoth only owns three units outside of the choir: Zealots, Errants, and Bastions. He hasn't been very impressed with infantry this edition, but so far he has had the most success with Zealots. Ouch. Zealots, Errants, and Bastions were the hardest hit by the nerf stick this edition. Tell your friend to pick up Idrians and he'll never go back. For a screen, TFG or either of the Cav work wonders too. Daughters work well also, but are very AOE vulnerable so can be trivial to deal with against the wrong matchup. And start stockpiling Knights Exemplar, those guys are going to be solid gold with any Vinny/High Reclaimer list.

A Skornre fix I was brainstorming with my local Meta: What if they took everything in Skornre, every single model and unit, and lowered it's cost 1pt? Their models seem underpowered, but it's all relative to cost. They're a huge army invading Immoren, what if they become a swarm faction instead of an elite unit faction?

The Seattle/Tacoma Meta is on a hard Malifaux swing right now while PP works on the Mk 3.5 rule set. Seriously, we had a 26 person Malifaux event last week and haven't had a 20+ person WM/H tournament for months.

Jimmy Hats posted:Ehhhh i think it's really counter-intuitive. The whole concept of a charge bonus is you're using momentum to make your attack hit harder: running past a dude and then wheeling around totally reverses that momentum and doesn't make a lick of god drat sense. Yeah, because Khador Jacks needed this buff, right? *puts gun in mouth* Seriously though, most Heavies are going to be able to get a flat +2 MAT vs any Charge Target now, since a single free strike is either wholly unable or extremely unlikely to take out a relevant system during a charge attack. Especially your higher base ARM Jacks like Khador and Menoth. What would it take to cripple a Juggernaut's Cortex in a single free strike? ARM 20, 12 boxes needed to cripple the Cortex, which means a POW 14 needs to roll triple 6's on exactly Column 4 to do it. Yeah, I'll take those odds to get +2 on your Warcaster.

It's.... kinda useless information. Self selected sample group with no filter for relevant data. A casual game with a PG training a new player is both wildly less useful than pretty much any Tournament game, and is also much more likely to be reported by the excited new player. *shrug* Points for effort, though.

rkajdi posted:I agree that Mad Dogs are better than Berserkers, but I don't think the drop off is bad enough that you won't just see one less Berserker as a spam when the Mad Dog is nerfed into the ground. It's actually both things (devalued Infantry and cheap Beasts) that are problems. We live in an environment where Bane Thralls vs Mad Dogs actually favors Mad Dogs in the exchange (17pts vs 7, meaning each BT unit needs to kill 2.5 dogs before being wiped out, which won't happen because Mad Dogs out threat Bane Thralls even without Road to War and can blow up/nuke the whole group), which is insane. When *Bane Thralls* can't keep up with Armor Spam, it's a problem.

In a list with Knockdown, Hand of Judgment, and that feat, we're talking 11 boosted 14's from almost 20" away hitting on 3's. They're also just great at clearing off infantry screeners from your fire immune Jacks.

497 hit boxes, at a minimum ARM 18 is the problem. Or, at least, the biggest problem. That's an absurd number, with an absurd damage threshold. Weaponmaster spam can't counter that, other heavy hitters can't counter that, it's a ridiculous figure that needs to be altered. And it's not just Karchev. Perhaps he's the worst offender, but is it much better with Butcher and Full Throttle for free boosted charges and better damage options? Or how about B3 Energizer to make it faster? Harkevich to get them +3 ARM for the turn it counts? Sorscha2 for double damage feat and Boundless Charge? poo poo is bonkers. Bargain price Heavies should not exist at that price.

Luebbi posted:I think one of the main problems is that Sloan has a comparable kit, but better in every way. The difference being that Haley affects all models while Sloan "only" affects Battlegroup. But Sloan gives True Sight, additional range, and a better personal threat. Boostable guns mostly > other guns right now; I can see Haley taking Stormstriders or Blazers and Stormlances which Sloan won't take, but they don't even out Sloans superior ranged game. This is hilariously the opposite of the Mk2 problem, where if a person wanted to play a Sloan list, they were better off in all regards just swapping in Haley1.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:I've been bummed out about this game recently. It doesn't help that my local meta is anemic (lot of us are getting into guild ball which is making it worse.) My last 6 matches were probably against my friend's khador, and only a few circle things seem to work against the metal mountain. I'm not interested in the strongest casters of my faction. I think una2 is in general just a terrible design. She's so hyper focused on griffons, but doesn't have any reason to run the three birds that are neglected. I think the mark 3 changes per model in the faction have been great, tharn ladies notwithstanding, but I think I hate the feel of the faction now. I'm already out of points when I put in the essentials. Circle has always been the most "solved" faction, and solved poo poo is the most boring to me. Seattle meta is feeling this too. We've gone from selling out 32 person events to struggling with 8 person scrambles. Malifaux more than Guild Ball is eating a lot of attention, but all the other games seem like they're getting a mini renaissance (40k, X-Wing, GB, etc). It's weird. We have so many players taking hiatus from WMH, waiting for Mk3 to feel fun again and not understanding or being able to articulate why it doesn't.

A'ight, I've been out of the game for a few months, but there's a big local Masters tournament (Seattle Open) coming up in March that I figured I should play in, since it's in my back yard. I've no idea what the current tournament meta looks like, so how does this pairing look to face down the world: (High Reclaimer 1) The High Reclaimer [+32] - Reckoner [16] - Reckoner [16] - Hierophant [3] Knights Exemplar [9] - Knights Exemplar Officer [5] Knights Exemplar [9] - Knights Exemplar Officer [5] Exemplar Vengers (max) [20] Idrian Skirmishers (max) [15] - Idrian Skirmisher Chieftain & Guide [5] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] (Severius 2) Hierarch Severius [+26] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Blessing of Vengeance [13] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] The Covenant of Menoth [0] Vassal of Menoth [0] Vassal of Menoth [0] Theme: The Creator's Might Drop Sevvy into most things, or drop High Reclaimer into the lists that look like they could actually handle 9 Warjacks.

On the one hand, good changes that were seriously needed. On the other hand, sure, it took them less than a month of yelling to see the Khador theme list was a problem, it would have been nice if they had thought it through before releasing it at all. A month of bullshit is still a lot of bullshit.
