Tograth Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey folks, I was looking at The steamborg executioners stats, and it seems that its possible to charge across the entire board in one activation with him, assuming you have low cards in your hand. Activate ramos, move forward, summon spider 6" out. do other stuff with him. When it comes time to activate the steamborg, you charge the summoned spider. Cheat attack flip using a mask, cheat low on def with spider. Push spider 4" forward, and charge at another model further up. Chain this as you like. When you get to the model you want to target, you have a straight up charge attack (+1 damage flip), then anotehr melee expert attack. Do you guys think its a viable tactic, or ?

LoboStele Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well, seeing as how you need a Mask for every time you want to use Knock Aside, getting across the whole board would be pretty dang tricky. You need a bunch of Masks, or really lucky flips. Then you also need multiple models within range of your charges. Could be interesting. But certainly not something you could count on every game.

Wodschow Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't count on using it more than once (ie. chaining across the board is a bit ambitious and would most likely drain your entire hand making it a less desirable choice).. But yeah it's viable and can certainly catch some people unprepared at times. Edit: Also allows you to get both a charge and a Flurry in which is quite awesome against things as Masters.

HopelessHeretic Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 No this doesn't work the V2 card changed knock aside to enemy defender. -Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadaka Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I got to ask was this realy needed. Any one find the steamborg even close to op to need a nurf. If any thing i think the model needed some more love. Note: I did not say this bashing the decision I was asking out of honest questioning why it was made.

pharaoh Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I agree, I love the steamborg, but being fair, he's not the best value 10ss model in the game, and to not be able to knock Ramos out of combat before getting stuck in is a bit on the harsh side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karn987 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ha! Love it! I agree, we need a smiley of this =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Wyrd may not have changed him with the purpose of making him have less options but in the end it was the end result. To me that makes a nurf. nurf=made less effective. Perhaps you have a different opinion of nurf but this is mine. I was not trying to bash the decision just understand it sorry you felt the word nurf was unfair on this situation.

LoboStele Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well, I'm guessing they aren't defining it as a cuddle in this instance, probably because he was always intended to work this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_God Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 There are also other models with Knock Aside, you know. Also, compare it to Push Aside which is defender, but doesn't allow the free charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Before people start shouting Nerf. Please remember the Steamborg has become significantly better in other ways due to the V2 card. Steam cloud is no longer soft cover, but Ht5 obscuring. therefore any arachnids hiding behind it can't be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeline Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well, I'm guessing they aren't defining it as a cuddle in this instance, probably because he was always intended to work this way. That's how it looks on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
