I remember when Warmachine was the game people switched to after they Jesus flipped the table and left 40k. Now it's all grown up and Guidball is the reactionary nerd dollies game of choice. :allears:

So troll players after buying the new box what can I do with 2 bouncers, 2 axers and 3 Impalers?

Also what the gently caress can I do with the 10 shredders I have

I've seen guys like Pagani and Jay Larsen testing lists with double bouncers, so that may turn out to be a thing. I could see a list with double axers. I'm not sure about the Impalers, though I guess Gunnbjorn or Grim 2 could run a couple.

I'm pretty sure "Doomshaper 2" is a good way to handle that

I was rolling with Ragnor, but this is probably going to happen too.

Killing satyrs with two hits each was fun and good, especially when he tanked a retaliation from a Stalker that charged for free with Primal and warped STR. :getin:

It's rather soon to ask, but does anyone know if there's a reliable place to find the new Prime MK3 rulebook in its battlebox format (a.k.a. the mini-rulebook)? It's such a handy thing, but since I play CoC exclusively, I don't have an easy access to it unless I feel like delving into purchasing another army (which, at this moment in time, is not really an option).

I can send you a copy of Primal for $5 to cover the cost of postage. It has all the Prime rules in an appendix. I got two Hordes boxes so I have an extra. Shoot me a PM.

(This assumes you live in the US.)

Ragnor with a shitloaf (gently caress it not fixing that typo) of shield guards gives 0 fucks about Kara Sloan, as it turns out. I did lose my MK to her feat but by then was super dominant on scenario and won next turn. Ragnor continues to own bones.

I'd be more interested in Guildball if it wasn't for the "gently caress PP play a real game" kind of vibe I get from some players of it. More importantly, I just don't care for the looks of any of the teams or whatever. My mandollies have to be pretty pretty mandollies for me to be interested. :allears:

Ironically, that same attitude from ex-GW players taking up Warmachiine kept me from WMH for a couple extra years. Some things never change.

Hey fellow nerdlingers, come to our sweet gaming con in Michigan. We're doing a Who's the Boss on Friday night, WTC style team event on Saturday, and WMW Qualifier on Sunday. There's a ton of other gaming going on too but you should just do the Saturday and Sunday events because I am running them and they are obviously superior. :goonsay:

I'm running our first Mk3 Journeyman and broke out my gators for it. Right now I can say the gator battlebox equivalent is real bad. It's not helped when so many people picked up Khador. Kozlov totally fucks over Barnabas with Chosen Ground and armor too high to chew through. That's not even getting into the terrible progression you'd have to follow in the unmodified Journeyman rules.

That all sounds pretty negative, but gators are still cool and good in general. Plus this way I'm easy pickings for all the new guys, heh.

Ok, I'm fairly new to trolls, but not the game. I've made it full circle through all of the factions (other than cryx) and I was wondering why the Krielstone appeals to troll players. It reminds me of an extremely high maintenance girlfriend. She constantly needs attention, frequently demanding resources you don't have and gives you very little in return. Sure, removing incorporeal is nice, but you can take a sorcerer and save 6 points. Sure, removing steal is nice, but how many of your lists rely on non-spray shooting anyways? Oh you need to be in two zones? Well...I'm busy over here looking at new shoes, so I'll armor and str buff the things that are close enough, but the rest of you are on your own.

Recently I've been comparing them to the runeshapers to them a lot latetly and what they bring to the table for the points. I've found that 9 out of 10 times the runeshapers are earning their points in ways the krielstone isn't.

Well, the ARM buff is extremely potent, especially in the current gun meta. It helps immensely against Hunters, and puts your beast in levels where people have to really work for the kill. It also buffs stuff like Kriel Warriors to the sweet part of the dice curve; pow10 shooting now needs 8 instead of 6 to kill. Lastly, it's hard to remove with shooting. I've seen lists without it, but I always have to factor it in when playing against Trolls. And applying the buff doesn't seem too hard in non-split scenarios.

Ragnor is Steady, and can't be knocked down. I hope you're still using the Bouncer, which is a good model with a great animus. You should spam that animus as much as possible on key pieces like your Mauler.

Fyrbrand
Dec 30, 2002

Grimey Drawer
Oh right, I get it mixed up with Ragnor's cover spell. My bad.

Only one animus can be on a model at one time. You could rush the Mauler, have him charge, then cast Rage on himself before he does his charge attack. But that's a lot of Fury and means two less attacks for the Mauler. So it's only useful in specific circumstances.
