Title: Stormblade Solo
Post by: the_trooper on June 16, 2013, 04:27:26 PM
Comes out this week. So pumped! Maybe Constance will find her way back into Cygnar for a while with his guy.

Iron Fang Kovnik, too. Pretty pumped.

The Kovnik is so awesome. The SB Captain is alright - pretty much just a beatstick unless you're running multiple units of Storm Knights.

Constance Blaize called me the other day. She said Forgeguard have no manners and that she was sick of hanging out with those no-fun precursors.

The stormblade solo told me that you don't have to be an archduke to make Blaize happy.

I'm thinking 3 units of stormknights in my non-tier Constance list.  I suppose I should put the jerk in iBodger today.

I'll run him in a few lists for sure, but I was hoping for a bit more from the SB Captain. Honestly, if he could be an accumulator battery for a Stormclad I'd be plenty content.

I'll pass along a few stray observations if you update iBodger any time soon.

Is it sad that I was considering switching to iOS, but iBodger is a big reason for me to stick with Android?

I'm kind of thinking of scrapping how I was working on iBodger, since everytime I think about my approach I feel like I'm trying to make a cow out of ground beef, and rewriting it as a normal app. Ground beef makes tier list construction interesting.

If I do that, I'll see about doing it for iOS as well since I think as a student I can get their overcosted development kit for free.

I guess I should have got more than a couple of each (plus preorders), huh?

Depends, if the WM community reads the internet, no. Otherwise, maybe?

It should be easy to judge interest and get replacements as new stuff (besides that weird goat lady) tend to be available after launch, it seems.

I wouldn't order above the norm. The overall consensus for this model is that its pretty lackluster. There will be some people who play him, but he hasn't been well-received.

Good.  I just worry about a Warpborn Alpha fiasco again.

I wouldn't mind plainville stocking more trollbloods, thinking about starting up a troll army for the escalation league but the warma/hordes wall is a bit slim.

Sure, shoot me a PM with what you might be interested and I'll see what I can do.  It looks like one of the distributors was stealth restocked this week.
