Mako Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 There's the old 'stick a metal Juggernaut in a sock' trick... Oh, that's why they make colossals and extremes, it all makes sense now. You need a big sock though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'd really recommend the Black 13th character unit. They're not quite as good as the Khador Great Bears, but they're still one of the best units in the game, and not that expensive if I remember right.

Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I do actually have the black 13, problem is my caster keeps dying, I call him captain squishy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Oh, you're running Stryker, aren't you? Yeah, that never ends well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah captain squishy ..... pretty sure his feat is turn into a puddle of goo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Might as well be. I did a charity army for warmachine one time, someone wanted to buy Stryker off the winner just to break him. eHaley is who I'd recommend as a second caster, she's one of the top tier of the faction.

Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 E haley huh ..... will look at that was thinking Seige myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 He's fun with Hunters. Armor Piercing and his feat is always a laugh. (if I have the right guy in mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah sounds like the guy .... and he is not squishy .... a requisite for moving ahead How goes the writings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Derailed by homework, lol. Also derailed by needing to do some description stuff for a friend who I commissioned some artwork from for the story. On an upside, really thinking over nailing stuff down for a map actually helped me figure out what to do for my next part of the story. Yay outflanking writer's block. Honestly, I was always a fan of Circle. Who needs high Armor if they can't connect in the first place? *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Damn homework getting in the way of fun things ... Look forward to seeing the map and art for your writing too .... In all honesty none of the warmachine factions really jump out for me, I play Cygnar because I got two starter boxes worth for nothing really see it as a good place to try poach Malifaux players....

edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Might not be a bad plan, honestly. I really enjoyed my time playing Circle (toyed with getting a small force as an art project to go nuts on) but quit the game because the power imbalance was so bad. Running eKaya, one of Circle's best casters, and running her with the most effective build at the time (triple wolf tier list) and the only way I would have had a chance against an eGaspy list was for my opponent to screw up horribly.

Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 So you dont play anymore then, I can see the power thing eventually ticking me off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hopefully it'll be a while. And, honestly, if you can find a group willing to do odd scenarios and crazy battles and not focus only on competition, it's a lot of fun. However, it's a game where the hyper-competitive thrive.

Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah .... the hyper competitive are rife .... Oh well will carry on in my just for laughs way I suppose, its the way I play pretty much everything ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 So, how was your weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Not bad, saturday was busy but sunday was pretty relaxing, got a lot of my ancients assembled and caught up with my mate and got the artwork for the wedding. After talking with him I am actually really keen to write my own wargame.... How was yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ugh. Another weekend of more sleep than anything. :-P Less than thrilled about that, I had stuff I needed to do. Oh well. Could've been worse. It was a lot of fun talking with my friend about all the art stuff on Saturday night, though. Trying to get through my homework reading and just have to plow on through one of the books. Talk about a boring style...the topic is really interesting, but the author is most definitely an academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I really dont miss the academic texts that are written like academic texts.... Sounds like your world is starting to take shape.... sorry I did not get to read any this weekend, I had to read the quill entries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey, no worries. There's no rush on it at all. When you find the time, I'll be interested to hear what you think. In the meantime, Elle hasn't abandoned me just yet, lol. And yeah, the world is finally starting to come together, which is great, cause world building isn't my favorite thing. I'm not terrible at it, but it is something which I need to put some more work into being the book would be published. And yeah, academic texts are dull, lol. It's annoying, because I've seen some of this stuff before and it wasn't this bad the first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 It used to amaze me how some people can take an interesting subject yet make it sound so dull in a textbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Amen to that sentiment. Ah well, the second chapter to read for this week is better. Probably has something to do with actually teaching rather than pointing out flaws in another academic's arguments whom I've never read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well that is something to look forward to then May I say I was particularly impressed with this round of Quill entries too, you are doing a great job running it ....

edonil Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I really enjoyed the entries this time around too. Everyone did a great job, and we're seeing a lot of new and improving writers. Speaking of improving writers, I'm gonna have to post some sort of ALL CAPS note about them so people remember to send 'most improved' to me... it'll be interesting to see what people do in November.
