CustosUmbra Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 So, what are you guys excited the most about and what are you going to test in the new edition? I still gotta test Jack Daw and some of the Freikorps models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I’m building a Jack Daw crew for 3rd edition, so I can dip into Outcasts for the first time, or back to my usual Ressers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesy Blue Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I wanna see how Hamelin works in this new era. With Pass Tokens and not really summoning, will having a dozen rats be a detriment? Will summoning a dozen rats be a detriment? Will we still ignore conditions? How will plague work now? Did he get hit with the nerf bat so hard that a rat landed in the bleachers, cause a lot of people wanted that to happen really bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 If when you think Hamlin you think a mountain of rats mostly as spam activations and big beaters who go late in the turn, you'll be disappointed. If you think Blight is cool and want it to have depth (and rats to actually do something) you'll be very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I actually put a ton of rats on the table to overwhelm everything with blight and clog movement lanes, and then Bleeding Disease the table away turn 3-4.... until that got boring and I got creative, but chances are the hiring of Lost models is gone (as Lost isn't even a keyword going forward). So, I should be expecting a mixed bag, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to seeing folks talking about Jack when the full open beta kicks off next week. (I have read into the closed beta rules, primarily to see how models fall into the various factions and keywords). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, why did they lift NDAs before the Open Beta( Still not sure if I can talk about Closed Beta stuff or not.. but it's too god damn exiting to not talk about!

If anyone doesn't want to be spoiled on the nature of currently mutable rules a few days in advance they should probably stay away from threads like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I should be expecting a mixed bag, then? I played a few Hamelin games and he's.. different. I think Benny will be almost an autotake. Wretch will be less of an autopick and I think you need to go into Versatile/other keywords in Hamelin crew because the lack of high damage models is visible. On a big +, blight is now tokens so no condition removal works against it. On the -, it doesn't go up at the end of the turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 3 hours ago, CustosUmbra said: And do you think spoiling things for the newcommers is fine?) Personally I don't want to spoil the discovery for new comers, so I am not talking details or too much opinion. I don't want to say x is great and y is bad, because I want them to make their own minds up. Just because I don't like Y, doesn't mean they won't. But Just remember lots of people will read the posts and not have a clue what you are talking about. (And its possible that anything we say is actually wrong anyway, the files going into the public beta may not be the same as the last from the closed beta) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikk Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't think anyone is spoiling. A lot of people are talking about their preferences and not solid rules. I wouldn't consider saying "I think Lucius is fun" to be a spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Schill going from Rambo to offensive support Master, Jack Daw turning near unkillable, Tara's enhanced shenanigans, Bandits' superb mobility.. it's all too much fun.

Davos Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm eager to try Jack Daw more, both as leader and a hired-in master. I think he's going to be an amazing support master in certain crews. I want a Von Schill, Hannah, Jack Daw crew and laugh at the card draw (and misery of my opponent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point it was discard two cards to reduce the damage by 1 per card. THAT one was badddddd. I think the current version works, but could be very swingy. Crews that give out poison, burning, or blasts could mess Daw up something fierce I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember a version, where he could discard a card to reduce damage not to 1, but straight to 0? 😃 Edit: Damn it, English! Let me use you correctly!

I think Guilty are also in a really nice place as well. And pairing Hannah with him could get some real good results I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
