Same Animus as Rhinodon - Amuck -- boost all attack rolls for that model's Special Attacks -- forget RNG and Cost. Keep in mind Power Attacks count as Special Attacks so Sweep is brutal with this guy.

My thoughts...


- Not excited to see Bane cav hit the table.

Tartarus doesn't make more of them.  I am sure they will not be "crazy".  The name bane has gotten such a bad rep because people just toss it around.  And I am sure that gun mages on speed 8 or 9 mounts with fast cav move and probably different kinds of shots CAN'T be bad even  if it is pow 10.  I mean that is a min of 18" threat with no snipe and lord only knows what they actually do.  They are cygnar so I am sure they bring utility as most of your shooting does already.  I am excited about them and I hardly touch my Cygnar but a couple times a year for some fun games. 

things that are generally harder to deal with than banes and or prepare for:

Satyxis raiders
Gun mages/Black 13th
WGDS
Kayazy DS
Fenns
burrowers
Kriel warriors
Mage hunter strike force
Errants
Molik missile
Hell Diver assassinations

And the list goes on.  The only thing that makes bane hard to deal with at times is if you don't have a way to kill Tartarus if he is on the field.  And I say "if" because of character restrictions and Divide and conquer formats.  I have taken my Cryx to three tournaments this year and each time placed first and none of my lists had Tartarus in them.  Weird I know.  I just think Tartarus is what makes Banes annoying and nowadays you don't see him everywhere and if you do people are ready for him.  It's the odd ball lists that throw people off because when they see something new they don't have the experience to deal with it.

I just saw the Stormwall model yesterday.... I may start playing warmachine soon 

[NateT]

I think the new model coming out I am most unsure of is the super-crazy-epic-cav-battle engine warcaster... eLylyth3^2 or whatever.  I liked that warmachine had the "king" like in Chess.  Kill the warlock/caster and gameover, so he or she needed to be well-protected in addition to being well-utilized.  I feel like a bunch of crazy battle engine based casters might ruin that dynamic... though, I do trust PP to do their best to balance such a thing in their ruleset.  It just kinda screams "much like the colossals, bigger is better... and we kinda ran out of ideas..."

I bet (hope?) my fears are unjustified... and I have no doubt the model will be fantastic!
