Card won't be in the new deck.

Yeah, I would be shocked if it was. The purpose of the decks is to provide MK3 cards for models bought before MK3's release. They're not really meant to facilitate proxying, though I'm sure that will happen.

Those new casters are, well, new. Everyone who gets the model will have a MK3 card, so the update is not needed.

Is it though? I mean, the current faction deck is there for anyone who wants it, and people would be rightfully pissed if they bought it to find it missing Stryker because he's in the BB.

The decks are update decks. Stryker isn't new. He's a mk1
caster. He'll be in the deck. Maddox is new to Mk3. She won't
be in the deck.

Mk3 Decks have cards for every model that could possibly at any point in time have been purchased without a Mk3 card.

It's not possible to purchase the new Mk3 caster and not get a Mk3 card along with her (barring mispacks) so there is no need for her in the deck.

Seems like PP missed a trick in terms of not removing the leadership stat completely from the game. As leadership tests are gone, why keep it on every card just for a small number of abilities that could be changed to not use it?

Isnt it there for unit cohesion?

Because CMD is still a big part of how units work.
And at that point it's more consistent to keep it on everyone.
Like models with no guns having RAT, makes the statline look complete.

It's not only necessary for cohesion, but warcasters and models use it for issuing orders, marshals use it for their drives, and a number of other models use it for various special abilities.

The MK2 faction decks have been out of production for awhile now. These decks aren't meant to be an ongoing part of the product line, they're a transitional product meant for prior players.

Hmm complete nerf on Harbingers feat making it almost useless.... not happy.

Yeah right...almost useless.

She can't project her army out as much as she can in mk2, but
that seems to be the point of her changes

Very interested in the new Hordes 2 player set. My cousin once bought me some Trollbloods to paint so they're kicking around. Plus I've always loved the invading Skorne and their beasts. Might tempt me into trying a Trollblood infantry, Skorne beast heavy force. To go with my as yet unfinished Legion dragons.

New character Warpwolf coming for circle (sculpted by Doug Hamilton, I love his stuff)

It shall be mine. I give a damn about its stats, i just want it.

I like it

I'm just waiting on the Minions Insider for spoilers... can't be long now!

Also this Ret solo (Lys Healer):






And apparently a new Legion warbeast will be shown soon.

Looks more like she's dancing disco style

New Legion character beast.

Wow, all of these are sweet! Thanks for sharing, Geek

No worries! I love the two character beasts. Doug does good work.

Well it seems like they completely nerfed all my PoM units I use so looks like I may have to start another faction, probably Legion.

Don't reward them for it with more money!

Or, maybe wait and see how Mk3 shakes out before doing anything drastic.

This.

There is no possible way, in a new version of a game designed to tweak rules and balance, that they have ruined a faction.

They've changed tough, should I set fire to my trolls?

It wouldn't be a new edition conversation without someone figuratively tossing their models in the air and declaring the world has ended!

Man, I'm liking all these new sculpts, but damn if I don't like how Privateer wants to institute their new online policies.

Maybe by the time I finish painting my current Privateer stockpile of metal and restic, things will have cooled off and I can start picking up new models again.

The snake Nephilim looks cool, albeit a bit busy from that render.
