Wouldn't it be cool for all the factions to have overpriced character versions of stuff they don't have?

Khador>>> Arc Node
Protectorate >>> Pathfinder

Not sure if this one is serious, but I could see it as being cool just to have like one character option to mix things up. Cost it a little too much for what it does, but have it be there if you want to surprise someone.

Page Five.


Too many players just seem to forget their second-degree detector when they read that one.

If PP made a poster of page 5, I'd frame it and hang it on my wall . I can understand how people could get annoyed over it, but I just think it's hilarious. Apparently they toned it down some for mk2 though.

Whenever I read page 5 I think it is a parody of the WAAC and TFG attitude, not meant to be taken seriously

Funny you mention that. I went there for a rules clarification once, and got nothing but arse replies and personal attacks. I mean, I frequent 4chan, so this isn't really something that gets to me at all, but I was a bit disgusted at the lack of moderation on the official forums.

Never going back. Nothing of value lost.

I hear you. The amount of assholery that takes place in the army list sections is the reason I never registered.

Strange, I've never encountered that on the Menoth, Skorne, or rule question forums. Must be isolated to particular factions.

Or things have simply been cleaned up since you were last there.

Also make vinter a playable warcaster

'I win' would be his special rule. Vinter is like toruk - simply far too badass for the tabletop.

If you're interested though, there were alternative history cards released in mi1 for some casters (kind of a what if scenario) - vlad was with the protectorate, eiryss was a legion warlock, Magnus and Stryker swapped roles, the old witch served the circle etc. and Vinter was playable. Believe me though, he was a monster.

Have you seen Hierarch Voyle's stats? Makes Vinter look like a little puppy. I think you're legally allowed to destroy your opponent's model after doing his Holy Force attack.

@Grey Templar. A Cyriss army lead by the Iron Mother has the most Arc Nodes in the game. She's only limited by how many points you play provided you only take Vectors. Everything in her Battlegroup is an Arc Node.

Ahhh yes. Iron Mother's Field Marshal ability.

Shrapnel Swarm is pretty powerful when you can basically put it anywhere you want.

I'd like to see Reeves of Orboros get another point of Rat and maybe 1-2 pow increase. Right now they are just way too expensive for what they do, which is "Be worse than equal points of Wold Shrimp or Blood Trackers + Nuala." A UA and solo that buff them, and they still just don't cut it. (And arguably the UA makes them a worse buy for the points...)

I might give Grayle another point of Str or a better spell, but really he doesn't seem bad, just sort of in the wrong army sometimes.
Much like Zerkova... she needs "Warjack Bond: Arc Node" or an ability like Vayle that lets her shoot her own jacks to channel through them. Or she needs to be in Circle.

Barring all that... knock a point of some of Circle's light beasts, save maybe the Woldwatcher. It is really hard to justify most of them when they compete against warpwolves. I would take 3 argus at 3 points a pop sometimes, or at least one, but not at 4. And the wold wyrd...
Y U 5 POINT RNG 10 POW 10 !?!

Surely the Gorax wouldn't be included in that 1 point drop?

Oh no.... oh gods no.

He actually could be 5 points... but let's not get crazy

OOOH i got one. Sorscha Calvary caster

CAVALRY. Calvary is the site where Jesus was crucified.

mmmmm.... Sorscha on a rack... yummy...


wait... what?

A Great Rack perhaps?

Yay for fun with similar words...but I really don't know if we should start going down this road again. Didn't we just have a thread that ended up being a discussion on whether a Protectorate Caster's *ahem* "holy scepter" would count as a blessed weapon?

I heard Scarr has a great wrack

Aye, and she's quite a horny satyxis too.


Innuendo.... Reach weapon, weapon master, corrosion (not a good thing!) take your pick. Seriously, let's not do this.

Trying to make a "Reznik is a pimp" joke because he has so many Wracks on display... but I just can't make myself.

Ummm, I meant that, She woud be a Protectorate Warcaster.

If Grayle's theme wasn't so lacking, I would have to model up a Pimp Grayle... for all the bitches in his battle group.


See what I did there?

Here is a serious Idea. Epic versions of casters that are defectors or treasonous. You could have had Sorscha betrayed by Vlad and have her become a Mercenary caster(Just an Idea) Or have other casters defect to other nations.

Well the new full warcaster released for the Kickstarter pulls a Cryx on everybody.

Prime version is a Cygnar caster, Epic version is a Cryx epic warcaster.

Yeah, More of that, makes the game world feel like it is evolving.

I wouldn't worry about it. They'll kill people off eventually, people that aren't Cryx too!

For the Protectorate, all the fluff is basically hinting and leading up to Severius's death. Fit's going to hit the Shan real soon. Feora's in cahoots with Magnus/Vinter and Kreoss was last seen rushing off to rescue the Heirarch from an attack by Vlad.

I liked the fact that eMagnus can be taken with Skorne (of all bloody things). If anyone actually played multiple warcaster games (which it seems like nobody actually does) then you could have Skorne...with Galleons... Think on that. Or, you know, Molik Karn with bullet dodger. That works too.

I've heard of a few tournaments that have 50 point lists with dual casters/locks.

You do realist death isn't the end? If severius dies, he'll just come back as a severius3 vessel of judgement epic warcaster

"Kommander Harkevich, The Iron Wolf – Khador Warcaster" changed to "Preceptor Harkevich, The Iron Wolf - Protectorate Warcaster".

No other changes to the models stats. Dude missed his calling, he'd be bonkers powerful in Protectorate.

Honestly, make Pathfinder a bit harder to get.

As a 40k player i like terrain heavy boards, but since i dont play one of the races that are either entirely or basically entirely Pathfinder'd it screws me over.

I agree only Circle should have pathfinder. And damnit, someone teach my Feral Warpwolf how to run through the woods without tripping!

No, not you Argus. Get back under the porch...

That is why harkevich is my favor warcaster. pathfinder for everyone

Somehow the lumbering rocks can hop and skip merrily through the woods but the wolves and goats are left fumbling, unless you give a wolf a giant sword

Definitely none of that in the Skorne forums, maybe some factions are more prone to attract arses?
