Bengt Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'd prolly enjoy playing Bishop or Killjoy as Arcanists with Embued Energies for an extra attack to turn the tide... That begs the question if mercenaries can play as any faction for upgrades in this format. Since normally the whole mercenary thing revolves around hiring them into an crew of the other faction and there is no crew now. For the specific models Oathbound is only slightly worse than Imbued Energies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdparker Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yeah, I was wondering about that. But yeah, I see Oath Keeper as well (don't play Outcasts except as Mercs), and that would work well. Erring more toward Bishop because he can paralyze and still get an attack or a move in.

Eshadie Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 As it stands, the mercs are fighting for themselves, which means you're limited to the faction they belong to. That's not to say that we won't test it out to see if it works well with the system or not. For simplicity sake, we are keeping it basic right now. Also, my weigh in, I'd go with Bishop w/Oathkeeper. When you give yourself fast, you get the option to Flurry twice, and Bishop can get around most things like armor and incorporeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhallan42nd Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yin the Penangalan with Unnerving Aura I like it; a solid choice. I think to win, though, you'd have to go into a group already fighting and get as many as possible at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godlyness Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 How does ashes fit in this? Does he die split apart then respawn and still have his little bits on the table? Or is he the exception and if one or both parts die he respawns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 If Bette's bury works, I'd say that Ashes and Dust's ability should work. Of course, you could end up giving out more points to your opponents for wounding fresh models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntrepeNinja Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Buuut the difference is in the wording. Bette says, "When this models is killed, it's not killed, bury it and heal it to full and remove conditions", (or something like that). Ashes and dust says when this model is killed summon an ashes and a dust, and reformation says at the end of the turn, sacrifice these and summon an Ashes and Dust. if summoning isn't allowed (and I don't know if it has been allowed or disallowed...) then that restriction would apply to ashes' immortality.

He would be correct. If an ability uses the word "Summon" then it would automatically fail or not be allowed as summoning is not allowed. Bury and Unbury is not summoning, being buried also decreases a models chance at scoring points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well, we played it out at the Nova, and we had: Howard Langston Peacekeeper Rogue Necro Corphyee Duet Killjoy Hooded Rider Killjoy had horrible cards the entire time; Howard couldn't help but flip or cheat rams. The Rogue Necro player played cagey, and almost took third, but the Steamborg Executioner steamrolled all of 'em. Better hot cards than good ideas, sometimes, I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
