edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Holy feth! O.o Wow, that's a bit pricey... sheesh, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Oh, have you seen any of the wishlisting for Cygnar's next epic caster for the book next year? I heartily approve of one of them, lol. eSloan, as Cygnar's first Warcaster Unit with a pair of Khadoran Widowmakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 That would be awesome..... I would rather see one of the other Casters get it rather then a Haley3 or Stryker4 personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing a Haley3, but I think it should wait a little longer. Although I just found out something risky... apparently the currently active members of the Storm Division are Stryker, Sloan and Constance Blaize. Kinda tempting to build something fluffy around those three... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Time for bed I think..... There you go...... found your second caster, for fluff reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well, after looking over what I want to do and what Stryker3's theme force is, I think I'll be doing that one, lol. Then we'll look at Sloan as a third. I love following the fluff, to be honest, especially in this game. Here's hoping for an eSloan with Widowmakers now. Have a good night, sleep well!

Dustcrusher Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Dropzone commander looks interesting..... but I dont need another game, do I I feel the same way. But let's suppose I did want to get into it...I'd like opinions on the factions. I know I can go look it up, but I trust you guys' opinions over those of strangers.

edonil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Short rundown: UCM is the Jack of All Trades faction. They've got mid range stats all around, although their offensive abilities will definitely hurt. They do tend to be a little cheaper points wise item to item, and their Rapier AAs are truly obnoxious because they've got a long range and the ability to move around some on their own. Scourge is the glass cannon. Quick, lightly armored, short ranged, hit like a ton of bricks when they get there. They tend to favor overwhelming numbers and their speed is top notch. Personally, I love the playstyle of the Scourge, there's some neat stuff you can do with them. PHR is the Anvil. Hits really hard, hard to remove (their standard walkers have two wounds, unlike everyone else who has one on their tanks). However, they are by far the slowest in the game, and they rely on their dropships more than anyone else. Very much an elite army, you'll usually be outnumbered but can easily fight it out. Shaltari are an odd combination of the Glass Cannon and the Anvil. Their skimmers are slower than the Scourge, and don't hit as hard, but they've got a longer range. Their walkers are tougher than the PHR, but also a lot more expensive. They also tend to be a little more complicated because of the way their Gate transports work, but it's nothing insurmountable, just a few extra rules. Now, that being said... PHR are, visually and fluff, my favorite bar none. They've gotten some stuff recently (the Type 3 walkers, Apollo and Erebus) that speeds them up, but those are still a bit rare. Scourge are the closest to match my playstyle because I love being able to outmaneuver my opponent, so they work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Cheers for the write up Ed much appreciated..... I do like the look of the new Resistance models too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah, don't know anything about them just yet, lol. Haven't gotten the new rulebook, although I'll need to at some point because my Scourge have a bunch of units where they come from it. And glad to help with that write up.

edonil Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't know, honestly. It's the non-gamer group, lol. I'm bringing along High Command, though, I had talked about it with a couple people who are going to be there and they seemed interested in giving it a try.

edonil Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yep! lol. I'm planning on bringing a few decks with me to Gencon, lol. I'll get horribly beat if I play in a tournament I'm sure, but I'm just having a ton of fun with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 There's one variant of the Kingmaker Tournament rules that I hope to see at Gencon, which is basically an achievement league. There's a set amount of time, you get points for playing/winning games (based on number of players) and then specific one time achievements for things like playing multiple faction decks, scoring a certain amount, getting a certain number of territories and so on.

Mister Monkey Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sounds like an interesting system..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah, it's a bit more casual than the other formats which are the more normal pairing rounds. We'll see what happens. So, doing any painting this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
