It is Argus. The Circle Faction Book has Argus as the plural or Argus.

Except for the part where Ed very clearly says Arguses in the video.

My book doesn't have video. I feel cheated!

I am not saying they are consistent, just that the book has it as "Argus" and that should probably the basis, since off hand comments or speech is often mistaken.

But hey, feel free to relish the uncertainty!

Never said it couldn't be, just said that PP isn't very good at using the English language (unless it comes to rules, in which case, they're right on the money), and I wouldn't trust their grasp of English as the final say.

I could make up a setting where Frederick is a type of lobster and the plural of Frederick is frederish, but it doesn't make it worth a damn.

1. Argus is not an English word, but a loan word.
2. If you make up the setting and people play and care enough to wonder what the plural of some noun is, it makes it worth a damn what your opinion is to those people.

Can't remember what podcast it was--but something that made me chuckle--was how over time the Khador leadership has slowly realized how nuts Butcher really is and keeps reducing the amount of military support he receives;

"Have anything you want!"
"Well, here have a bunch of crazy Doom Reaver fellas"
"Ok, after last time--have a couple of dogs"

"Uhm... I think we have some bacon you can have... did we eat all the bacon?"

New stuff in first post!

If you aren't coming to Gen Con but you still want to get your hands on the Privateer Exclusive releases like the Steelsoul Keg Protector model, now's your chance! During Gen Con (August 15-18) the all-new Steelsoul Keg Protector, Bombardier Bombshell, and Druid Gone Wilder will be available in limited quantity while supplies last on the Privateer Press Online Store!

Want want want, but the words "available in limited quantity while supplies last" fill me with fear...

For these, that tends to mean "until Gencon is over on Sunday night".

Glad I can get the Bombshell, missed out on her last year. May grab the Wilder, too.

Never did assemble my Bombshell because I sold off my Khador. Have been wishing I'd gotten a Wilder, may have to pick one up this time.

DANMIT, I WANT THE BOMBSHELL.
But im poor

Lay off the F5 for a couple minutes and you'll get your wish.

Fans wanting the Exclusives have delayed the exclusives going up.

Also, Moorclaw(yes, Ri, he works for Trolls), Eiryss3, altStormguard, and Butcher 3 cards up on Endgame:

Supposedly they're now up but the site is extremely slow.

I'll confirm they're up, in the middle of checkout with Butcher3.

I want these so bad. First time i saw the bombshell, then found out i could never buy it again...POOF Now i can get her (and her girlfriends). Now if i can just get the damn store to load for me lol.

If you don't want Butcher3, hold off until tonight or tomorrow. The beer girls are available all weekend.

I think the Keg Protector is already sold out. Damn! :(

What ever happened to their digital app?

Really like the new Stormguard rules, they seem promising, what's people take on them? I see them to be quite good tbh..

A great screening unit for cygnar's shooting infantry. The charge denial is quite nice.

The reader? Comes out the 21st, IIRC.

Almost everything is pretty good this release. Hordes players will finally fear an Eyriss more than warmachine. Butcher has up to a 19" threat range with three turns and a pull, and flashing blade to clear the way (and 12 focus to make it all possible). The Ironmonger looks very solid for a 2pt solo.

The silver line storm guard however.... Hmm, I think they're over costed (which is standard for cygnar). 6/9 for a Mat7/POW 12 unit with crappy defensive stats, and while they can't be charged, they can still be easily shot off the board, or you can use tramples/ charging friendlies or just walk to get around polarity shield... Plus, only critical knockdown doesn't really make up for their low damage output. Honestly, I think Polarity Wall will almost be a trap most of the time, clustering up your guys to be blasted, sprayed or whatnot while not letting them take full advantage of their reach to be a real screening unit by spreading out (even if you have them in clusters of 2/3).

Is it just plain btb? In that case, you can still spread out and still remain in base contact.

The crossover existed before Hordes did, Boomhowler's has been around forever. And he is a Minion, his card might even be a Minion one, like Alten or Lanyssa.

That's exactly my point, that they should have converted them over to minions... instead they're scattered between mercenaries and minions. It just seems extremely unnecessary (imo).

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you just want them to have the Minion card instead of the Merc one? They're Mercenary Minions to allow them to work for Warmachine Factions and Hordes Factions. That's what that specific wording is for. If something is just labeled as a minion it means it only works for Hordes factions, just like if something is a only labeled a Mercenary they only work for Warmachine factions.

Anyone at Gencon that can pick me up a Rulak Moorclaw mini? Will pay $25 + shipping!

I think their best ability will be as a frontline unit, but not for their attacking ability. Instead they will be setting it up with their ranged attack to hit the enemy with POW 16/15 stormblades (range and melee) and POW 16/15 storm lances (range and melee) charging through the line of the new stormguard courtesy of the storm solo.

Just seems like they are a unit which would prefer a specific build, rather than a unit which can be taken anywhere

edit: sorry I assumed that their melee attacks were electrical, edited for my error. Would it also affect the electroleap, making that a POW 12?

Gah, the real arms look even worse than the art

Whyyyyyy those arms!?
