Paladin warcaster.

Severius3 as a vessel of judgement warcaster.

Vengers have a Seneschal. The Unit Leader is actually a Seneschal in the fluff(and MkI).

I can even send you a picture of the entry in Superiority that shows it.

I saw that, but I think they need to change it. Vengers could use a solo that buffs them. Plus we need those protectorate non character cavalry solos sometime.

This.

Bonus points if Vilmon gets to become a Caster, but that is a long stretch.

I wonder if it is going to be a melee caster that buffs Infantry or Jacks and is good at scenario play, and still gets access to the stances like Stone and Mortar and Impregnable wall.

Hmm...

Edit: Or at least how I would see a Paladin of the Wall caster in my opinion.

Protectorate players wanting a paladin caster is practically a meme at this point.

But that is because almost every caster out now for the protectorate branches of the military:

Severius and Vindictus: The Scrutators

Kreoss: Exemplar order

High Reclaimer and Testament of Menoth: Reclaimant order

Feora and Thyra: The Flameguard (well, Thyra is a daughter but the Daughters are still part of the Flameguard order).

Amon Ad'Raza: Order of the fist

Not sure if Reznik is part of any of the orders or is directly following orders from the Scrutators, but it would be awesome to get a Paladin Warcaster to fill all the branches of the Protectorate Military with a Warcaster,

Reznik is part of the group known as "filthy traitors to the Motherland!" Also Kreoss.

Well since we are kinda pipe dreaming.....

1. Khador arcnode
2. 3 Scorsha (on a horse please).
3. a character jack for Butcher.

A character warjack for Butcher would be amazing!

I imagine we're getting one. An educated guess would be either an add-on kit for the clamjack kit (not sure which of the 3 Jacks though) or a model of Laika or the Arktus which are mentioned in the Butcher novella.

I would like to see more woodsmen style models for khador. We have a whopping one unit and it never gets played. Would also like to see a Unit attachment for kossite woodsmen and assault kommandos that makes them more useful. Would also love to see a ranged focused jack for khador on the devestator chassis with a massive cannon on it and average RAT.

Lastly for khador, a man hunter style war caster would be sweett and/or another warjack focused caster.

A solo that buffs AKs already exists.

But he doesn't have a gasmask! It's the gasmask that makes it.

 Grimtuff wrote:

Well yes there is a solo that gives them a slight buff, but there is still little to no reason to take them when the same solo also buffs IFPs which are considered better. I want to see a UA that gives them a couple abilities and a mini feat - perhaps relentless charge or something that makes their gas grenades into aoe ranged attacks that deal corrosive damage. Oh oh oh, how about this? Firing a flame thrower from the weapon attachments into gas grenade clouds ignites the gas creating an explosion that does like pow10s to everything in the AOE and causes continuous fire? OR, how about a mini feat that is basically the trencher's dig in special action but it isnt a special action? Here is another good one: Since trenchers seem to operate with stealthy tactics, instead of a standard bearer, they could have a close range grenade specialist who has short range but large aoe (4"?) fire, gas, and blind grenades? then maybe the flamethrowers would only ignite HIS gas grenades.

..and yes, no gas mask, no deal.

How about a devestator where Butcher ripped off his shield plates, sharpened them with Lola, and then welded them to either end of a Spriggan's lance by scowling at it? Effectively creating a double sided axe? It could have 1 P+S 18 attack with reach, sustained attack, backswing (cuz two sided!), and circular vision. It could have affinity(orsus) Homicidal Maniac.

I'd like to see someone 'betray' their faction and switch sides, maybe become a mercenary or minion unit.

I think it has potential for some cool mechanics interactions.

I don't know who would do it, but it could happen. Maybe Skarre decides to go it alone, I don't know.

That has already happened, it just happened simultaneously so it didn't have the impact of an established character doing it. Cygnar Warcaster gets killed/captured (can't remember which sorry), and his epic version is a Cryxian warcaster. He changes out special rules commonly found in Cygnar for others commonly found in Cryx, his feat stays the same, and his spell list changes (again, a traditionally Cygnar spell list becomes a spell list full of more Cryxian spells).

Well by 'already happened' there are rules for him, just no model yet. Coming next year sometime.

He's called "Commander Sturgis" and "Sturgis the Corrupted". IIRC he was exclusive to the Kickstarter and won't be coming out later like the new Jr Casters from the same KS.

By coming out I meant that I'll be getting him since I was in on the KS, but I didn't know that he was going to be exclusive...that's silly. Oh well.

Seems I was wrong, just checked the KS page.

The novice warcasters will release as different, unlimited sculpts several months after the exclusive limited-edition sculpts have been delivered to our backers. Sturgis will eventually see a general unlimited release as a different sculpt as well, with a release date TBD.

Hooray, no one can complain about me using him. But I am excited to use him. Flash sounds fun and buckets of attacks and feedback and electroleap and interesting feat and brilliant support spells? So keen.

I would like to amend my wishlist.

1. 3 Butcher general release

The masses demand it.

I admit an FA1 Khadorian Skarlock/Gallows Grove would probably be better but arguing from fluff the only god/dragon free "arcnodes" I know of are the Trollkin Runebearer and mechanical ones. (I interpret the CoC caster shenanigans as custom mods they do.) By my deranged logic Khador producing limited arcnodes requires less explanation than an organic or mechanical solo. Also IMO a squire-esque solo doesn't fit the Khadorian concept of everything is dangerous on it's own, and working together only makes us stronger.

Khador having no arc nodes on their jacks is part of their faction design, just like no light jacks.

If anything a greylord arcanist who channels spells makes more sense as it gives you the opportunity to bring in more orgoth tech beyond doom reaver fellblades. 'The orgoth did it' answers a lot of questions, and is suitably dark and ruthless/cruel and fits the 'life is cheap' and 'use our people' moniker for khador.

Furthermore it was once argued hordes factions would never get channeling. In the end, they did. I see no difference with khador.

And a greylord solo most certainly fits in, especially if he keeps a frostbite spray attack as an option ('dangerous on their own) and especially as he is able to boost the effectiveness of khadoran warcasters, and khadoran warcaster magic support z(working together makes us stronger).it will also allow for a bit more of a varied play book - khador is a bit one dimensional in how they do things.

If he's like the CoC Optifex solo, which has to jump through a few hoops to get to channel then he's golden. I say this as a primarily Khador player.

@Deadnight: Orgoth magi-tech works, I honestly forgot it because it only appears on greylords and doom reavers and I'm mainly going for IFP, M-o-W, and 'jacks.

@Grimtuff: I honestly don't care how we get it just give us a f Arc-node or Skarlock that can be used every turn!

This is how we would get it if we got one. They are not just going to give us an Arc Node. Even our first and only one was not an Arc Node till Mk2 (Scrapjack had an Arcantrik Relay, where the channel spell lost 3" of range IIRC) and the streamlining of certain special rules.

Khador not having Arc Nodes is our thing.

I agree that we are probably not going to see an arc-node sadly. What we really need is another way to reliably boost speed to our jacks (besides the Jr that is coming Khador's way). With all the great cav that we have they need to keep up.

A squire type unit would work as well.

Or vice versa.

I'd like a Tharn character unit of weapon masters. Sort of in the "Great Bears of Gallowswood" mode, except ravagers or maybe character Bloodweavers. The unit only needs to be 3 strong so long as they have reach and and a way to get extra attacks or some clever trick.
It could work with Wolves of Orboros characters too I suppose, but I prefer tharn.

And for reference, electro-leap triggers once off of Thresher style simultaneous attacks. I was just reading it the other day off the q/a forum; if I find it I will cross post.

Minion arc nodes (fixes Doc and Cal)
Minion Gargantuan (a half pig half gator the size of a Stormwall). I actually think the minion book alluded to a "great spirit" or something like that--which would be my guess if we ever get one.

Nihilator UA or solo.
Arcuarii UA that allows them to pull in large bases when making a CRA.
