My lgs had like 15 of each new thing. I went thinking I'd grab a card pack if they had it, and left with two different battleboxes for factions I don't play.

Hot take: I think the Circle Satyr beasts are interesting options in MK 3. In particular, I think you nerds are wrong about the Shadowhorn; in MK 3 it got three interesting buffs: (1) beatback (2) chain attack throw (3) the general back strike changes If you throw in one of our many MAT fixers, then you have a 12pt beast with MAT 10 capable of jumping behind someone and sending them 9-10'' towards your lines (4-5'' beatback and a 5'' throw). You'll probably be leaving the Shadowhorn out in the open, but you've also enabled a potential 2 for 1 piece trade on a 12pt beast. That's not bad! It might even be good!

Thinking of giving this a try: Mercenary Army - 75 / 75 points http://conflictchamber.com/#b61beSbEbxbxbxc5bPbQbQevbUe_9S (Ossrum 1) General Ossrum [+28] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker [4] Horgenhold Forge Guard (max) [16] Horgenhold Artillery Corps [6] Horgenhold Artillery Corps [6] Dahlia Hallyr [17] - Skarath Thor Steinhammer [4] - Ghordson Avalancher [17] Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor [5] Snipe goes on the Avalancher, bullet dodger on Skarath, and FFE gets hot swapped between the two artillery units and/or Skarath. I'm not totally sold on Sylys, but on turns where you don't want to swap FFE, the focus he saves gives you the ability to cast any 2 of his 2 focus spells (or maybe just casting energizer + fully loading a driller). If I drop the elf, I'd probably grab hunters mark elf and (maaaaaaaaybe) turn Orin into epic angry elf; free charges and a boosted threat range pairs nicely with the feat, and disrupting knocked down targets is funny. The list has a healthy mix of melee and ranged, and can move surprisingly quickly under the feat and energizer.

They're a lot like Idrians. I like them w/ any Circle caster that needs either a self sufficient infantry unit (the Kayas or maybe Kromac 2?), or can toss out debuffs. Does Hog Wild work with Dig In? That would be nice

I want to know how the internal faction balance got so all over the place. How did the same group of designers produce the new Mercenaries and Minions, and then also the new Skorne and Circle? It's bizarre.

Amateur Sketch posted:Yeah, the main benefit of Incite is all after your activation. She probably only wants to cast it on a big assassination run, since it's over half her focus stack. That or she can reposition backward and cram a bunch of chaff between her and any threats. She'll be casting it every turn after the first if her stats are like her previous two incarnations. With a hierophant and/or wracks, she safely camps 2-3 focus per turn with 15/17 for defensive stats. The cavalry reposition plus incite makes me think she'll be an aggressive scenario caster with a preference for being 5~8'' behind your front line. If she keeps her heavy flamethrower (since it looks like she still has apocalypse???), she'll be making hit & run attacks with a sp10 pow 14, rat 7 weapon. There's no reason not to take Hand of Judgement, so there's also some funny business to be had there. The real question is is if there's any reason to take infantry not named Idrians with her =O

Maybe it's the pain meds talking, but that insider didn't inspire a ton of confidence. Especially their answer re Spam Lists. If the one model being fixed in Protectorate is a nerf to Idrians, I'm gonna be so drat sad.

KPC_Mammon posted:I'd define it as making them worse than alternatives within the same faction at the exact same role at a similar price. Weakened to the point that you'd only ever take them for aesthetic for fluff reasons. Yeah, I'm on the same page. I like the overall rule system changes for MK 3: powerup, increased warjack points, more point granularity, removing command checks, etc. Those are all amazing. Some of the in-faction changes? Kind of bizarre. Other than Mercenaries and Minions, I don't the intra-faction balance is any better in Mk3 than it was in MK2. There's still a dumb mix of garbage of and not garbage.

I still don't get how the MK 3 faction balance got to where it is in the first place. Half the factions feel well thought out, and the other half range from meh to Skorne. That said, things seem much better on the Warmachine side, but I don't really have any data on that. How many big tournaments have taken place since MK 3 came out?

The only protectorate changes were for a unreleased model, and the Vessel of Judgement. Did they reduce the pushback? I can't recall how that ability used to read.

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:I feel like farrow make good all comers lists. Tonight I played a bog standard carver list against Denny all incorpeal spam, and felt like I lost before deployment. I could certainly engineer a list to beat that list, but feel like that list would lose to khador heavy spam. It feels like I can't play list chicken because what farrow do well is play a really good list of we're good and we want to press that, but against skew lists it all just falls apart.  Meat thresher + mist speaker + Maximus gives lots of multi attack magic weapon and, in the case of Maximus, spell Immunity! Jaga-jaga is also a reasonable cryx drop.
