I will be down this Thursday, as will some of the regulars. The Kayazy will be staying home to give everyone the illusion of a chance at victory.
-
im down 50 points if you got the cashews for it ;)
-
I will be in on Thurs. Looking forward to trying to figure out how to use some new units.
-
50 points? Hm. Well, it's been a while since eVlad got table time. I'm game. Maybe after this game the community will stop under valuing warrior units.
-
BAH! I still will field my Horde!
-
I have warriors, 16 points worth of warriors ready to rape anything within 2" with a magical halbred ;)
too bad 1 of them and reznik is still M.I.A. , very very sad pandas... :'(
if one more person has the metal, we could do a 4 way battle thatd be so epic, itd be epic!
-
Oh, I thought it was going to be a normal game. Never mind.
-
I'm not playing that night I have my game that week. My response was in regards to your warriors comment Ian.

totally got that, Riley. I just didn't know Dave was recruiting for multiplayer.
-
Something tells me that Dave has absolutely no clue how long a 50pt 4 way game would run and how unlikely it is that anyone other than Ian would win.
I have no interest in watching 3 other people play out 50pts of actions before getting to do something myself. I think I would start a side game with a second army, or bring a movie on my laptop to keep from killing myself from sheer boredom.
I am however interested in trying out my ghost pirates and cavalry.
Sorry to hear you won't be around Riley. I want a chance at your horde w/o bile thralls (ie. a sensible list). You going to be available at any time?
-
actually, my turn is pretty quick at 50 points:
amon
4 jacks (avatar, castigator, vanquisher, and fire of salvation)
2 squads of 5 warriors (exemplar bastions)
1 solo (vassal of menoth)
choir of menoth
done!
50 points isnt alot to field, and itd be awesome to see how wed fit 4 50 point armies in a 4' x 4' board haha except for riley who can field a carny and like 23 shredders and just laugh :o
but i can kick ass solo too, my new list has been showing good results, and amon has made up for my slower than slow army (thud thud thud... dammit stop moving! thud thud thud...)
-

Oh man. My average speed is 6. Prepare for massed flanking.
-
dont forget amon adrazagives +2 move and pathfinder to everything

Not the Avatar, bastions, choir, or vassal. Only a small percentage of your army benefits from Mobility.
I predict back strikes. En masse.
-
hm ill have to look at the mk 2 card again, he changed a bit from mk 1. no matter we will squish whatever is in our path :P
-
Mobility cost 2 range self
models in this model's battlegroup currently in it's control area gain +2 speed and pathfinder for one turn.
this means everything but the avatar gets a speed boost, and the avatar doesnt need to chase you, he makes you come to him ;)
now we'll see who outflanks who, this time i wont leave a gap for the butcher to rape reznik (because reznik goes into the vault of shame)
by the way ian, we FINALLY got a mechanik for menoth, sure you dont want to come back to the creator's grace? ::)
-
Your battlegroup is just your caster and his 'jacks.
I'll make a few charge lanes.
-
I thought battle group was the whole "army" except avatar whos special. oh well... still pretty cool caster. No army has made it through all 10 bastions yet, and I welcome anyone to try it, your death will be swift :-*
-
Why would I go through your bastions? Seems silly to me.
-

hate to double post but just noticed this.
Didn't you just start playing Protectorate? Heh.
-
so? ok ill rephrase that: "YOU finally get a mechanik, and i get one to start my protectorate and therefore you should reconsider selling them off." ;)
also, i wouldnt knock bastions, they more than live up to their namesake. theyve been the reason for pretty much all my wins thusfar. weapon master + reach = ;D
-
Eh. Protectorate is lame. More Khador is not.
I'll knock Bastions all day long. Yeah, they hit hard. However, they have speed 4 and I don't need to fight them to win the game. Now if you had Idrian Skirmishers...
-
QUIET! I do not need to deal with more skirmishers!
Matt: I'll be down at BG before my game so if you get there early I'll play otherwise afterwards if you are still around, game stops round 10 or so starts at round 7.
-
once i sell my blood angels youll have 2 carnys and a scythean to deal with
skirmishers are for sissies

MOAR EVARBLIGHTZ?!
Hahaha, this easily will make Legion the most over-represented and under performing faction in the area.
Carniveans = easy kills. Someone play something challenging!
-
It is sort of strange to me how certain armies seem to have mass appeal around here.
I don't think I've ever seen a Skorne army used. It's been a long time since I've seen Cygnar. Menoth seems to come and go. Trollbloods I've seen a little bit of, but only recently.
I think I really like Warmachine and Hordes. I'm very glad it's coming around again.
-
i play protectorate, ian used to. jay and rick play trolls. i think legion gets attention because many see the regulars like riley playing them and winning, plus theyre cool.
i still think bastions are cool, albeit slow and i need to work them better, but i still like them; same as i did death company... ah death company... so many games i couldve won if it werent for those shiny drop pods

skirmishers are for sissies
Two experienced players pointing out that they are very good and I make 3.
Sure, for sissies, and those who recognize strong strategic units and utilize them.
You keep asking for advice and then rejecting all the good advice you get.
Either play whatever you want, accept the consequences and stop asking. Or consider that maybe some of this advice is good and try it out.
