Pheromancer Seeks New Escort, Must Be Force Grown, Smokers Need Not Apply



Thanks for the snappy answer, auticus!

my biomancer was certainly doing that being chased by steel legion! Saved myself giving up a victory point for killing the warlord

Anytime! This is my new favorite game so on top of doing local events, I want to start getting some battle reports going soon.

The Supremacy Ability wording is all over the place. We have

“until the End of the Turn”

“for this Turn”

“for the Turn this Supremacy Ability was activated”

“for the remainder of this Turn”

“This Turn,”

... as well as ...

“This Supremacy ability is always considered to be active.”

So what about the Tempered Sorcerer’s SA? Does he get an extra Action for every Activation during the game (passive SA, like Noble Lord) or only for the turn on which he activates his SA?

Yeah, I noticed that. RAW he would indeed get that ability permanently.
So basically Dweghom can do fireball spam.

I'd agree. Since there is already a precedent for a character to get an always active supremacy ability (mounted noble lord) it seems that the tempered sorcerer is made to throw two fireballs at you a turn!

OK I preordered some Dweghom from MM.

I just went with the content in PB’s own bundle: sorcerer, kerawegh, and raegh, 3x hold warriors, automata, and berserkers.

...and still saved around $27 over PB's deal too, amirite?!?

It was just around $6 less I think.

Hmmm...

I ran the numbers myself and I thought all of that came to just about $200 on Mini Market and 204 Euros is ~ $227 via conversion.

If it really is only $6 then I'd order direct from PB and let them make as much as possible!

EDIT:

Ha!

Just checked and it is $204USD not Euros for us, so yes, off to order them directly from PB - thanks!

I made the same mistake at first. But I went for MM anyway; hoping the big retailers will take this game seriously.

Good point there.

I did both - got the Dweghom bundle direct from PB and then ordered 1 x hold warriors, all the new 100 Kingdom characters and some Steel Legion from MM!

We have 9 core players right now with about 6 waiting in the wings for nords or to see if the game lasts.

How are things looking with your communities?

Do we know when in October the Dweghom items will ship?

I've got stuff on order with PB direct and with the MM, and both orders are waiting for the Dweghom releases...

So there is a logistics issue in place. All of the stores and distributors changed over to a release date of October - December... meaning something is going on with shipping items to the distributors and they don't have a solid date yet.

I suspect it has to do with the tarriffs etc.

December?

Youch!

That’s quite an additional delay - especially when you factor i the ‘usual’ Holiday delays around shipping...

Yeah its unfortunate.

Finishing up my 1000 pts of hundred kingdoms.

Very nice!

What are you using for terrain in your games?

Do you find the bigger miniatures to be an issue when trying to use existing terrain?

Thanks!

I use the same terrain that I did with warhammer. I don't find it to be an issue at all.

For one - everything has been assigned a height code so the bigger miniatures (and they aren't bigger by a gross amount) don't impact the game for line of sight purposes.

Two - the footprint of the units is actually quite similar to Kings of War or warhammer, so the existing warhammer terrain seems to accommodate that just fine.

Micro Art is producing a dweghom tower, that I'll be interested to see how it matches up with my other buildings in my collection in terms of scale.

I'm not too sure on how the reinforcement rules work

You walk your unit onto the field, right? You don't just plop it down into the reinforcement zone?

What happens if an enemy unit gets deep into your back line? Does that mean you can't have reinforcements anymore?

All of that is good to know - thank you!

And it reminded me to head on over to Micro Art Studio to pick up some single character bases, among other things!

Correct you do not just plop your units down. You come in from the table edge.

You can *ALWAYS* come in from your reinforcement zone (your table edge). The only parts affected by how deep your opponent has pushed are coming in from a flank edge.

I have several of them. Micro Art produces some quality stuff!

I can't seem to locate the character bases on their site!

Got a direct link to them for us?

Ah its to determine coming in from the sides. Interesting.

Use the cavalary bases. Same size. You get one big circle to put them on. Thats the unit footprint you need for the infantry characters.

Alternatively if you want to put other infantry models on your character base you can either diorama that up or get the infantry stands and put three more infantry down as well. I prefer the cavalry base and hte one character on it.

Ah, that’s it then - they aren’t specifically labeled for characters, but the cavalry base will get the job done with the right dimensions.

Thanks!

Imperial officer

Lovely stuff!

Thanks! I now have 1000 pts painted of hundred kingdoms and spires so looking forward to start producing some video and/or diagramed battle reports with them.

I’m looking forward to that from you, along with continued inspiration to get going on painting my models too!

Speaking of which, is there an update on when the Dweghom will start to ship?
