The new version will take some getting used to but what really gets my dander up is some of this stuff that's come up screams 'they lied about 3 years playtesting and this is something of a rush job' which is annoying when I've just bought cards yesterday and some of them already need replacing. Also like I agree with this post in general but also would like to draw attention to the bolded, italicised text, which I think is quite neat.

fnordcircle posted:Off the top of my head things that I like so far in Mk3 Khador: Kodiaks are real too. Trample and vent steam for a nice big 4" LOS blocker, add in literally any movement bonuses as well. Hark lets them trample 9" up, and they repo back out of their own clouds. At mat 7 they don't really need help to hit anymore and can get technically 4 initials off of one focus, potentially knocking down 2 models in the process. Great Fury targets, but also really good with Karchev on feat turn. Hark is also loving weird. Yesterday I played against a "Hark and Friends" list, which is hark and a bunch of characters - Ruin, Torch, Big B, Drago, Black Ivan, 2 Artillery Kapitans and Mechanics. It was loving nuts. Artillery Kapitans add +2 and rerolls on deviation for the next ranged attack, which means Broadsides - they then can activate and get the aiming bonus, or aim first and repo up 3" to broadside at +2 to hit. With his new rules he's also pretty survivable, just park him on a hill B2B with black ivan or something and you're good against most things. He played it into my Old Witch list, and despite Iron Flesh ignoring a lot of the blasts it was still really mean and I ended up losing, just way too much armor on the field and rolling snakeyes on CRA damage rolls is definitely not a good way to deal with it. Also played against double BDIFP + kayazy + Irusk2 and I've never hated playing a list more than that. Dropping Artifice on the clumped together blob of blast-immune IFP nearest my Widowmakers is a thing. FFE on the Marksman is a literal walking nuke, esp now that Sniper ignores tough and you can just Deadly Shot anything you don't want to bother cracking arm on. wearing a lampshade fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Jul 4, 2016 |

I hope they'll iron out these dumb wacky things in the next 6 months. Seems like they were fully prepared to do so. A lot of dust needs to settle. Maybe they'll nerf Irusk2.

Hey khador players, how are doomreavers faring for you in mk3? Do you find the escort useful? Do you always run them with fenris? Or do you find other ways to give them pathfinder a lot more efficient (irusk battle plans, Saxon, etc)? With all the shooting that seems to be cropping up I'm hesitant but they seem like they've gotten a lot better.

Iceclaw posted:Anyone got an opinion on this? Assuming this is limited to a BB type thing based on the warjacks... At 35 pts it seems solid. Why that particular IFP module though? At that point slot I would think min BDIFP offers the exact same toolkit with Strakhov, minus Defensive Formation. Even if you put in their UA you're still knocking 3pts off the total package, plus you get the no knockdown *and* no stationary for a minifeat. Also, flamethrowers are good with Strakhov, I'd recommend giving them a shot. Rat 7 continuous fire sprays aren't just a menoth thing anymore.

Yeah for khador "don't kill my caster man!" jacks, devastator + kodiak + Rager are going to be necessary. You either have a big could, an immovable arm23 large base (that can get one rounded by AP or Siege, mind you), or a cheap arm21 shield guard with three initials. That being said, I've played Karchev, Kozlov, Strakhov and Old Witch so far in mk3. Karchev can just hide behind jacks and laugh at most shooting - but an entire bg of countercharging khador heavies made most people want to stay far away from me, kozlov can just chill in/behind forests (though when I played him he chilled behind two devastators), strakhov had the Rager and occultation on himself once the AKs closed in, and old witch tanked a full round of fun shooting from a Hark and Friends list with proxied Kapitans by hanging out in a trench and camping 3 focus. Irusk2 is also basically an unkillable bastard who can give himself a 5" supertrench because gently caress him. Seriously, can we talk about how bullshit AoD is? 5" cover aoe, enemies treat as rough terrain, and its "within" not "completely within". and it's an upkeep Also, iron flesh is still really good on our casters, because +2 arm and blast immunity can help you shrug off most damage if you're camping focus. wearing a lampshade fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jul 7, 2016 |

A&h are p survivable with eirusk if youve got valachev. Blast immune, tough, potentially cover if you put down AoD around them. They can harm a lot safer by being able to target through their screen too. I'd trade both jacks for big B though, he's still not really a great jack caster and big b does everything he wants. Throw a mortar/field gun/marksman in there for a FFE target.

Khisanth Magus posted:EDIT: In regards to Sole's comments on the Skorne "design space", the whole "they are a warrior culture full of elite melee soldiers" concept would work a lot better if Skorne had troops that were 1) good at hitting in melee, and 2) actually able to get into combat. The praetorian troops have lower MAT than nihilators, the crazy berserk warriors. All skorne infantry have defensive stats that mean that anyone can shoot them off the board without much issue. They have no weapon masters outside of cetratii. Menoth fits the "army of elite melee troops" a hell of a lot better than Skorne, and they are not hampered by this desire to keep skorne in this very limited design. I've always wondered about what their defining feature is. The soul thing feels too gimmicky and really only shows up on some lists, but overall it feels like they designed them and about most of the way through were like "wait, this is hordes Khador" and just threw in some random stuff to differentiate it. Like when I first read about Skorne I assumed it was something like a poo poo ton of cheap victim stat levies and some super elite dudes. Like a torture-japan Bretonnia but without horses.

Looking for some feedback. Trying to come up with a good list with strakhov for a team event. Thinking it would be a good troll/everblight drop, or at least a good drop against anything with a bunch of tough. The other list will likely be eirusk with doomreavers and rifle corps. Kommander Oleg Strakhov - WJ: +28 - War Dog - PC: 3 - Torch - PC: 18 (Battlegroup Points Used: 18) - Behemoth - PC: 24 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Juggernaut - PC: 12 Widowmaker Marksman - PC: 4 Man-O-War Drakhun - PC: 9 Ragman - PC: 4 Assault Kommandos - Leader & 5 Grunts: 10 - Assault Kommando Flame Thrower - PC: 2 - Assault Kommando Flame Thrower - PC: 2 - Assault Kommando Flame Thrower - PC: 2 Battle Mechaniks - Leader & 3 Grunts: 3 Kayazy Eliminators - Leader & Grunt: 5 Kayazy Eliminators - Leader & Grunt: 5

Harkevich with a lot of jacks seems really good, considering making a list with nothing but marauders and maybe a couple kodiaks and play exclusively for scenario. Marauders are all 10" boosted to hit combo smiting on feat turn at ps20 + bonus if collateral damage and sit at a nice chill arm23. They're only 10 pts.

Iceclaw posted:I wonder, would Yuri and a Manhunter be useful under Viscout or Strakhov? I got the models but never fielded them. Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't played them myself under mk3: I could see treewalker becoming more important with new terrain rules as they'll be able to stay safe behind a forest until they charge, but overall I still think they don't really offer enough to be worth it. They feel more like annoyances than actual threats - two units of eliminators would often be a better choice imo than manhunter + yuri. Elims are harder to remove once engaged, and if they aren't removed they can really gently caress up someone's day. Imo vlad2 would love yuri + 2 manhunter as a feat option over what strakhov or Kozlov can offer them. Sorscha2 would help them decimate lights. Irusk2 helps them be always tough and ignore blast damage. Kozlov feels like he likes units for fury and solos where unyielding actually makes the opponent commit to removing them. Strakhov's gimmick works better on stuff that naturally hits like a ton of bricks, like jacks and drakhuns, or with caster killers like eliminators.
