011121 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Has anyone posted stats for the new freikorps guy from Storm of Shadows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerous Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Sure why not? Might as well start my presence on this forum by being helpful, since no one else seems to be posting any new book stuff. FREIKORPS STRONGARM SUIT 8 stone Mercenary (Elite Mercenary, +2 stone), Special Forces Freikorps, Unique Full stats posting of models is NOT allowed. All in all, a wonderful bruiser unit with an amusing projectile weapon. Edited September 8, 2012 by goblyn13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alviaran Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 30mm base? No. 40mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limelizard Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Has anyone noticed that it doesn't have Freikorps Armor or Freikorps Mercenary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniddy Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I hope it does have the immune to blasts etc as normal form 'corps armour....but we'll see most blasts are low dmg anyway so wondering if the enhance armour is an instead of kinda thing But a mod blast can still put out 3 easily....which is only 1 wound i know...so ok maybe it'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 It does not have Freikorps armour, its a special experimental 'enhanced' armour it is wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerous Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 It does not have Freikorps Armor OR Mercenary, however it does possess 'Enhanced Armor,' which outright prevents anything that deals 2 or less damage to the Suit. To wound it at all, they'll have to do at least 3 damage. Pandora's scratch damage is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach_5 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Armor doesn't stop wounds though, so he'd still take 1Wd from Pandora 's emotional trauma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum528 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Has anyone noticed that it doesn't have Freikorps Armor or Freikorps Mercenary? I'm pretty sure it is a mercenary, I believe it costs 2 extra ss to hire than one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar86 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I just realized that the guy wearing that suit of armor appears to be supporting his weight with just his thighs and the fancy boots..... This is a man who should think about kicking people more often, he might cause them to explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well we don't know how big the actual armor is yet. For all we know the armor might actually be fairly thick and such. Afterall he is on a 40mm base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limelizard Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure it is a mercenary, I believe it costs 2 extra ss to hire than one though. I didn't say it wasn't a mercenary. I said it doesn't the Freikorps Mercenary ability that makes you only take Freikorps models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Indio Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Armor doesn't stop wounds though, so he'd still take 1Wd from Pandora 's emotional trauma. Now you've got me thinking of the MKI Iron Man suit with weepy sobs echoing from the inside. Looks like an amazing bruiser for a Freikorps crew (well, any crew, really). That super-armor makes him disgustingly resilient. Are his fists paired, perchance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paired with the ability to get Cb8 and a higher damage track for just discarding two cards would be kind of rough in addition to leap *so he can use both general AP for attacks*.

Zerous Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hoo boy! Mods made themselves known, there. I hope you all wrote those down I can give an overview again, but right now I gotta go do IMPORTANT THINGS!! like homework :Sad_Puppet1: getting the hang of these emotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011121 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Right, thanks to the heavy handed mod for convincing me to put off ordering any of the new stuff. Is it really that hard to get people with a tiny sliver of customer orientation? Hint- like every other miniatures game company in existence, Wyrd does not make money off the books. They make money off of selling models. Discouraging your customers from buying models is a really dumb way to stay in business. And yes after the incredibly clumsy way the role out at gencon was handled this is a very good example of $$$$$$$$ing off your customers.

NeuroFire Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hint- like every other miniatures game company in existence, Wyrd does not make money off the books. They make money off of selling models... I could be wrong, but I think that's exactly the reason why the stats being posted is bad for business. If you have all the stats and you can just proxy something in, why buy the model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 See I can't blame them for that, in fact I am surprised it had not happened sooner. It is just a very common thing on gaming forums, you are not suppose to put up full stats. That is not to say you can't give a pretty clear idea of the model's ability and everything with it being described with out having every state clearly spelled out and ability worded. With how easy searchs can be at time it would not be hard to just find a post that has all the stats, save it, and print it and proxy it. All with out picking up the book or the model ever. I would not say heavy handed as much as common practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 A lot of forums immediately, and often permanently, ban users for posting full stats. So saying "heavy handed mod" in this case just sounds childish to me. Also: The model DOES have the Freikorps characteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again didn't it didn't have the Freikorps characteristic, I said it didn't have the "Freikorps Mercenary" ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 All other Freikorp models before this have had a talent called "Freikorp Mercenary". This talent says that if a Freikorps model is hired as a mercenary then no other models can be hired as a mercenary unless they also have the Freikorps characteristic. Meaning that normally if you pick up even just a normal Freikorpsmann in your non-outcast crew you are not hiring any other Mercenary save another Freikorp model. Even Von Shill has this Talent. So as it does not have this talent, it can be taken in a non-outcast crew as a mercenary as well as a different mercenary that is not a Freikorp model. So you can take the Strongarm Suit and a Desperate Merc, or the Strongarm Suit and Sue and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have all the stats and you can just proxy something in, why buy the model? Tournament scene, and besides you can just go to the LGS and read the books there if you wanna proxy. I have seen the information of models in this forum so many times and this is the first time I see the Mods act this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniddy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think it was the explicit ness of it Yeh I've pieced together other mods - and have a fairly good idea how they work.... BUT this was the first time I had everything laid out on a plate for me... And yes I am now eagerly awaiting book 4 at our local club and have already selected an appriopriate rep....and that's one mod I'll have on pre-order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
