edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm debating between one of the Caines, Sturgis or one of the Haleys. Stryker3 is another option, but I'm not sure I want to commit that hard to the Cavalry idea, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 If I was to get two starters would that be worth it? With the Defender, Hunter and Trenchers how about Siege? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Haven't really looked at his stuff, so...I'm not sure. Huh. I'll have to give him a look over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hm. I'm not really sure how to answer that on the two starter thing. On the one hand, yes, it gets you more models that you're most likely going to use, especially the Rapiers (the AA tanks). After that, it's playstyle and what you want to do. Personally, after I have a set of infantry in APCs, I then take them and start mounting them in the light transports, so the extra APCs just kinda sit there. But I can't see it being a bad idea to have those options at the start. Would still recommend that short list I gave you, though, just because you'll need the Kodiak for an HQ choice and the Wolverines will let the Kodiak be useful.

Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 He has one good trick..... it if funny if you do it other then that he is reasonably solid all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well buying one starter and trading for the UCM part of another probably wont hurt..... I figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nah, now that I remember it that's what I did. I think the stuff I didn't end up using a lot just bugged me, but it is the better way to go especially if you have people interested in splitting starter sets.

edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Huh. Siege is kinda brutal if you get that gimmick to go off. Not sure I like the emphasis on ranged that his spell list creates, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Have you used Kraye yet, or not gotten the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 He has spells other then foxhole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Still not tried him.... hopefully over christmas will get some games in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well, the other one Siege has is Mage Sight, lol. Which Kraye also has, for...reasons? O.o I think if I was going to go for a ranged emphasis, I'd probably do Kraye and do a highly mobile warjack force. Defenders, Hunters, plus a few others. Only thing that sucks about him is that Allison would be useless there because of the battlegroup spells, otherwise he's going to be running fairly hot on the Focus from looking over his spell list.

edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Huh. Okay, looking at his theme list, Kraye could be a lot of fun. Although, I have to ask... why does he have the Black 13th? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 guess they work for somebody..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 True, lol. I'm not sure if they're a unit I want to get, honestly... character solos I'm okay with. But the character units tend to be fairly awful, or just broken, and the Black 13th are definitely on the upper end of the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yeah in all honesty I dont get them....... never found them that great myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Heh. Well, they're not the Great Bears, that's for sure. That's a unit that should have had a point or two added to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ha ha yeah...... never played against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 No? They're more than a little ridiculous. Defensive line, so they're 13/16 with five wounds each, Tough, Fearless, Pathfinder on the Charge, immune to Knockdown, 360 LoS. Then they have Weaponmaster, Reach, and they can Backswing (two attacks each) at MAT 8, Pow 12. And if they're swinging at a jack or a warbeast, they get to choose the column/branch they damage. All for five points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Five points for all that! Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
