Oh, my, dear, little, ponies...

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

What are you talking about, it's the most manliest faction, more manlier than 'the Dude', 'McBane', and 'Bunbjorn' combined....
Did you happen to see the rules for Everything Nice? OP!!

You do realize the context of these rules? They are meant to be used to audition for playtest duties with PP.
DC, the playtest coordinator put them up, and said that they are broken or incorrect in some way, and the task is to put them to use in your group and figure it out if you think you have what it takes.
But now that they are out there, I am sure they will be Theoried to death and no longer be of any use to PP for this task.

These look like a Joke.
Privateer looks like they are fishing for pony power.
Might get my attention when there is something to talk about.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

At first glance, pretty flexible.
Everything is.....painfully flexible...
Sprites:
CRA unit that can't be targetted ...should they need to charge in, they wreck Shield Walls.
The only thing they don't handle well is multiple multi-wound units.
Rainbo:
I'm personally not a huge fan of beast/jack only casters and Rainbo is just that really.
Overrun/Leash/Incite.
Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice look like a decent spread of beats to the list, melee, shooty, and the utility, respectively.
As constructs they are low on fury but don't frenzy which is nice. They are a bit on the slow side for a fairly fast Cav Caster...though Leash does mitigate that a little...
/shrug, note, this is from a person with limited exp w/ WM, even less with Hordes, that's theorymachining stuff worth less than a grain of salt .

Nope, dead serious. They even released a sneak peek of their warlock a while back. Couldn't possibly be a joke after that.

This was the April Fool's joke either this year or last, I don't remember which.
That pony figure (which is obviously inflatable if you look at it) was shown on this site at that time.

The first uniherd joke was this April's joke. The complete army list was released last week by DC as a playtesting tool.

Again, it's a playtesting tool. To see if you have what it takes to do what the playtesters do.
I want to start hordes too, but it'll be Trolls (when I get funds that is )
