If some how you had the power to completely delete a single army from Warmachine Hordes, for whatever reason (and try to list your reason please)

Which Army would you delete?

No convergence love in the poll?

They haven't even really been released yet

Also didn't include M&M's

None of them.

They all fill a niche in the game, and I think there are still niches to fill. Especially on the Hordes side of things.

Come on, dont be a stiff. Vote for one

I fully agree we should have more armies

If I had to compare it to League of Legends, I would definitely want more champions, but I also would not mind deleting Eve or Teemo

If I had to delete a faction it would be the Talion Charter for having powerful stuff bordering on the ludicrous.

Does the Llaelese resistance count?

Or how about those neutrality loving jerks in Ord.

Eh, even if pressed I don't think I could decide between the options given. Everything just fits in quite well, in terms of theme, fluff and style, that I really wouldn't want to remove anything completely. If forced to choose, I would probably look at the Minions first. Not because I don't like them (I think they're pretty cool actually) but because they probably have the least significant interactions in the main fluff, and are probably the most cliched of the faction designs (take animal, make it humanoid)... but that's part of their charm, and I still really like them.

Lol, careful there, newbies might take you seriously

Though the Galleon definitely has made them at least a reasonably playable mini-faction for tournaments, and Shae has always been pretty good.

I'd have to say Scyrah. I just don't have a lot of love for them.

If I can't pick minions, then I'll pick trolls for the same reason. The delicious tears of that portion of the PP forums

Oh I've been waiting for this. It's about time we did something about the trollkin problem. Those animals don't fit as a faction - they aren't even truly united. They are ugly, greedy, backstabbing creatures that should be subjugated and relegated to minion warbeasts and mercenary units (if any client is able to tolerate their stench). It is about time we got them out of our game.

In a game with less-than-realistic aesthetics trolls are over the top to the point of being cartoony. Their story makes them out to be a group of pouty children with no foresight. They ask a nation that is beset on all side by enemies for help then get upset when they are attacked by one of such enemies. Do they form a deeper alliance with the people that gave them guns to fight back? Nope! They point the guns at their allies, break the treaty and kill some people to steal land. Way to stay classy "united" kriels.

You sound Cygnarian I think you'll find that it's the pretender Leto who broke the treaty.

That traitor Leto? It is Vinter who should rightfully sit upon the throne. Just ask the man with the steam powered fist.

Why would I want to do that?

They are all fairly diverse and each contributes something significant to both the setting and the game itself.

Magnus has appropriated a new heir and enough gold to put that heir on the throne...

I would remove Convergence before they were even added.

There fugly and to me don't fit the scheme worse then Ret.

Yep, all he wants to do is put the rightful heir on the throne and those damned blues send assassins to kill the poor kid!

space marines.

honestly, why would i remove any?

all the factions are pretty cool. no "duds".

Cryx...... Just because i hate them and vile individual that plays them.


And why does everybody hate retribution?

I voted Retribution because I don't like their models, the rest are cool, though cryx is sometimes less than fun to play against for me.

Skorne. Bdsm elves that live in the desert and wear armor that's ridiculous looking, doubly so for people living in the before mentioned desert.

It's like there's this really bad armor smith who goes around make stupidly huge armor for everyone. Besides skorne you can see his handiwork on vlads shoulders.

Don't get me wrong, I love big intimidating suits of armor, but only if it looks even slightly functional.

Magnus and Vinter are just having a lover's spat. I ship them just like a fan girl with all the unwarranted unrated tasteless fan fic.

Why aren't Minions or Mercenaries in the poll? I'd probably pick one of those.

I pretty much like every army one way or another, though some more than others.

Blues wouldn't know how to send a proper assassin if one bit them in the Haley....

Oh, right. We did.

Leto, the same guy who thought that the Protectorate is not its own stable nation and was thinking we were not making our own army secretly and modifying our jacks? Yeah, totally best leader.

As for the faction to get rid of, I would say Ord because I feel they are just.....well just there.

Cryx, the undead army has been done to death across so many other games, I could live without it here.

I would take away Trollbloods. Because people like them.

Westborro baptists.....I mean Menoth, yeah those guys.

Pretty sure Westboro would have problems with all the flaming things in the protectorate.

Sorry, I really couldn't resist
