But some of us like using giant steam powered robots in our games about giant steam powered robots?

And Malf, I've dusted off my Cygnar army if you're looking for someone to beat up on.

Woah.

Where do you play these days?

Games Plus. It's a haul, but it's the only gaming store around. At least it's a nice store with a bunch of stuff. I'm actually going there on Wed. night to get a game in with Oomie. I picked up a unit of Precursor Knights I want to try out.

**malfred**

Nice. What time will you be there? I can probably head out
to spend lots of money, I mean get a game in or two.

I'll probably get up there at 4-4:30 so I can beat rush hour. I'll be a bit rusty as I haven't played a game of Warmachine/Hordes in over a year. But I'll be up for some money spending, er, a game or two.

**malfred**

Neat.

Would you be interested in playing against pirates, skorne,
cryx, kromac or a proxy khador army?

**Thanatos73**

Anything but Khador, bad memories from playing Oomie, lol.

**malfred**

Well I only have 500pt Cryx/Pirates/Skorne...so I'll
bring one of those.

**Thanatos73**

Cool, I should have my Cygnar stuff as I really want to try out those Precursor Knights.

Edit: I'll have my Legion stuff too in case I get stomped quickly enough to get two games in.

**malfred**

Isn't oomiestompa coming in?

**Thanatos73**

He should be after he gets off work at 4:30 or 5. And there should be other WM/H players as Wed is the unofficial WM night as far as I know.

**malfred**

I noticed that somebody on the PP boards mentioned that
they nerfed eVlad's feat in terms of Fenris. Does anyone
know how this works and what they changed?

It used to affect "d3+3 non-warcaster warrior models". Now it's "d3+3 non-character warrior models".

I should start a rant thread on the PP forums about how the change nerfs Grigorivich.

**malfred**

Ah, nice.

I wonder if they're going to retcon more abilities
like that.

So does eVlad's feat add +3 SPD as well?

That attitude has been shown, under laboratory conditions, to cause cancer of the fun gland.

+3 SPD, STR, MAT, RAT, DEF, and ARM. One additional attack with each melee weapon and boosted attack and damage rolls.

So that would make Fenris a SPD 11, MAT 11, P+S 16 nightmare with 4 attacks, Berserk, Weapon Master, and boosted attack and damage rolls. What's broken about that?

**malfred**

I'm okay with that being applied to Berserkers, though.

So it looks like my Khador guys are Vlad, eVlad and eButch.

You mean Doom Reavers? Berserkers are warjacks and so cannot be affected by eVlad's feat.
