Typical, that's another GT that overlaps my shifts. Was hoping for early September again 😕

Posted in error..missed thrace bit

excellent, best play aid from 2e. If you have time see if we can get a small ToS rulebook too. have the main one but would pay extra for that

which is why I think this needs clarifying in an FAQ as I can see people coming down on both sides of this argument

Depends on intentions i guess as obviously all kings empire can use whilst engaged but with a penalty and the problem is wyrd dont always like to add extra sentences if they think we can figure the intention I can see where you are coming from and so I think this does need clarification as it could be looked at both ways but for me (and I think majority of others) this would still be a no

And that's the issue, an assumption. You assume that, I assume that it makes use of the allegiance ability but without the penalty.

Yes but I assume that is to get rid of the -2 as all kings empire can use attacks in melee with a -2 as if they were . Which is why I think there is some debate over it. It doesn't say that the attack remains Also as you cant use whilst engaged I believe it still has to make use of the allegiance ability to convert it to but without the negative

I would debate that as you are confusing the matter. All kings empire can use actions in combat but then they use them as actions with -2 penalty. The royal rifle corps just use them without penalty but I would still say if used in melee in counts as a so still cannot use volley fire on my mark

I do think I toughness needs to exist for current earthside factions as their 2 and 3 scrip models would die to a stiff wind. However malifaux side factions currently just put it on the rhino or eel, which are insanely tough as it is anyway even without that

Focusing on another 3.5 scrip model? What do they focus with as you have to hit them 1st which is difficult enough, then get through or strip the tokens and then get through toughness? Played against them first time this weekend and they often had 3 or 4 reinforcements tokens on and just hit something if they wanted more. Admittedly it was 1 commander game and there were 2 of them but even in 2 commander it would take alot of focus and good cards to eat through all they have.

One thing to remember against electrocutioners is they cannot remove tidepools as they are terrain not markers

Now everybody has had a rant about rhinos but nobody mentions devouring eels. Whilst they may not be as damaging as a rhino (unless you are a titan) they are impossible to kill scheme runners. Easily turned into spd8, df8 so hard enough to hit as it is then they have the ability that if you do hit them they discard a reinforcement token and reduce all damage to 0, which should surely be by 1. And if you do get through all that they usually run toughness as well. You cant even tie them up as they just walk away and discard a reinforce token to take the hit, and if they are short of them then 1 model (not fireteam) kill gives them extra. So what are peoples opinions on these? (And dont even get started on egg clusters in set traps being summoned in the 2 far corners of my own dz)

Well as we have a 1 commander +5 scrip tourney this weekend and I am sure there will be multiple rhinos, any ideas? From the earlier post the best I can hope for is to somehow draw tomes into hand or try to beat it by loads as I have no native str5 stuff yet. Seems ridiculous that you almost have to plan everything around a 3.5 scrip model, wyrd need to fix this model and soon, how did it get through play testing?

having played abyssinia now I would say I usually had about 2 cards in hand at any one time and sometimes not even that many so the card draw isnt that great (as they have to use it for the upgrades too). compared to facing 1 or more rhinos where you need tomes in hand to even think about attacking them as cant rely on top decking and then hope they dont have shaken tokens on top of the toughness upgrade. for a 3.5 scrip model it really is an NPE

Price point is definitely an annoying issue as these models are priced at hard plastic prices (see gw squads for comparison) but the plastic is massively inferior

Module is m3e complete now as far as I know. I am gradually working through alternate models but thats not a rush. If you do spot any issues let me know and I will sort them. Updated 17/09/19 https://www.dropbox.com/s/nm245obm51wahla/M3E - v1b?dl=0

I have a work in progress one I will be posting. Its not official but their are proxy bases for new stuff and all wounds are correct as of the moment (will probably update any changes tomorrow). not the best as I cant figure changing DZs or some of the other stuff but certainly means its playable for now until an official one is hopefully released

I really hope they FAQ this soon but I believe it is meant to say if you start you movement in base to base, not if you start your activation. being able to pop up halfway across the board and then issue orders is over the top and not good for the game as it takes away all downsides of this mobility and you will just have units lining up at a portal behind a forest to jump through and ambush the enemy without them being able to do a thing about it. if this is how all the COTBM players have been playing it then its no wonder they seem to be smashing everyone

If a unit starts in contact with a portal can it teleport before being given an order so that it can move after the teleport? or do orders come first?

Why? They could certainly have done more with the scale. Have a look at privateer press storm strider for an example of a to scale walker on the same size base.

Do we think there is any chance of the dreadnought getting a result so it's in scale? As a centre piece model to our faction I really want one but unless it grows and stops being crewed by children I won't be getting it.

Yeah you can, but not normally like this 😂 Don't think I ever hire an abomination

send me your maps and I can add them to a vassal mod, you have to wait until I put out the next mod before they appear though

She's out now, I got mine today
