So I'm trying to put together some documents for my store about Warmachine and Hordes,
and the biggest thing is describing the way the different factions both look and feel.

Below is a list of three word descriptions (both adjectives and nouns) for the factions
that try to encapsulate the look, feel and play of the factions.

Warmachine
Cygnar: Guns, Technology and Lightning
Protectorate of Menoth: Faith, Attrition and Fire
Khador: Strength and Cold
Cryx: Corruption, Speed
Mercenaries: Coin,

Hordes
Trollbloods: Tough
Circle Orboros: Mobility, Regrowth
Skorne:
Legion of Everblight:


Getting stuck on a few of these.

Cryx: Looks like Nurgle plays like Eldar. Not three words though.

Added the word speed to Cryx.

Circle: Mobility, Healing

or

Circle: Sexy, Sexy, Kaya

Cygnar: Hybrid, lightning, disruption
Khador: Armor, strength, slow
Menoth: Denial, denial, denial / No you can't / Don't hurt me / Fire, denial, choir
Cryx: Spells, undead, speed
Mercs: Pirates, dwarves, weirdos

Trolls: Slow, tough, synergy
Skorne: Self destructive behavior
Circle: Likes trees, furries
Legion: Ignores rules, fast / Yes I can

Cygnar: Lightning, technology, heroes!
Khador: Axes, tough, Russian
Menoth: Fire, fearless, jacks?
Cryx: Undead, debuff, banes
Mercs: crutches and pirates

Trolls: Tough, buff, brick
Skorne: Discipline, slow, sadistic
Circle: Hard to Hit
Legion: It's totally legal

You guys are just wrong, sometimes.

I love it.

Legion of Everblight: Chicks, Dragons, Ignorance

I think sexy Kaya and Thagrosh harem would sell models, I need something more games worthy.

I'll give it a go:

Trolls: Tough, Buffs, Scotts

Legion: Fast, Dragons, Blighted

Circle: Druids, Wolves, Hit-and-Run

Scotts, lol.

Legion = Dragon is an obvious one that I missed. The dragon influence is also more obvious than
it is with Cryx.

Circle: I like the Wolves and Druids comments. Hrm.

If you really want 3 words that describe the factions, I suggest stop mentioning fire, lightning and such since they have no real affect on the game (well I guess until MKII)
Like
Khador:Slow, Powerful, Large
Cygnar:Range, Weak, Numbers
Cryx:Weaker, Strategy, Fast
Mercs:Support, Variety, Solos (many of these ****ers! grrrrrr....)

so yeah, I don't really know the other factions well except for Khador and Circle...

oh, Circle: Forests, Movement, Secretive (lol...like prowl and cincealment....I ran out of ideas)

Mercs: Not a faction.
Khador: Ice, Ice, Baby.

I can't really imagine Cygnar as a numbers army. They pay for their specialists.

But then again, I'm used to the Menite horde.

Both fire and lightning help define the method by which the factions deliver the hurt, even
if it's not prevalent as a game mechanic. So Feora feats and lights everything on fire, while
Sorscha freezes everything, etc.

yeah sorry, you have a good point. I guess I just don't understand the mention of lightning because it doesn't have any lasting affects on the battle, it's just another way to do damage, although it would be a cool way to describe a faction.

Also, I realized that numbers" isn't a good description of any faction because of obvious reasons now lol Every fact has their own numbers...

Skorne: Discipline, Torture and Compromise?

Compromise? Because of the Conquerer vs. Makeda?

Compromise as you kill us and it kills you by making us stronger.

Warmachine
Cygnar: Way too expensive
Protectorate of Menoth: Self-inflicted brain aneurysm
Khador: Playable with 1/2 brain
Cryx: Debuff that dodo

Hordes
Trollbloods: Bottom of pile
Circle Orboros: Kings of whine
Skorne: Used to suck
Legion of Everblight: Playable without brain

Khador playable with 1/2 brain! I resent that! But yeahhh....so true lol

CYGNAR: Just Like Ultramarines (Ie. hated)

CYGNAR: Guns, Lightning, hairgel

Cygnar: guns, disruption, Lightning

All of these are accurate...

Skorne: Attrition, remorseless, and disiplined.
