Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
I'm not sure this is the best way to inspire a confession.
That said, most of the people who are here from PP either use the same name or have told us their PP name, so there's really no reason to assume he's here.
True enough. I just don't like that guy and didn't want make a thing of it on the PP forums. But I didn't want to be all circumspect about it here either.
Anyway, I'm done being catty. That 3nemo mechanic for the gun huh? How about highly variable range stats?
A range 14 D3 bounce gun is pretty solid. Though since he's likely RAT5 it could end up being useless if he has no special boosting mechanic (3d6+5 isn't enough to reliably hit DEF15+, the primary target of POW10s) or a compelling reason to take Rangers. Ultimately it will be nearly irrelevant to his overall value, but as a small boost it's better than either of the other Nemos.
Well, there *is* Superconduction on the Storm Strider for that +2 to hit that he can use.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
But I agree that there's potential synergy there. Rangers could do it too, but there need to be compelling reasons in his feat/spell list to take either of those.
Maybe.
On another subject, does anyone here play much ret? I know that they have some powerful gimmick lists, and great stats on their infantry, but I'm not sure how the faction as a whole comes together. As a Cygnar player I certainly envy ret's high powered shooting and good screening infantry. A friend of mine was thinking of picking them up, but he opted for legion instead.

And do not buy into the myth that Ret jacks are fragile. It is utter crap, especially when you should be maxing out FA on arcanists (the mechanic, powerbooster, +2 damage guys) ALWAYS.
But I just can't get over rolling a ton of dice and going "Hur hur hur" as my elfs rip shit up on the charge.

Another silly question! Im trying to get the most out of my Rangers, and Mark target. Can a model in a unit run if the rest of the unit holds their ground for an aiming bonus?
Or does the entire unit get the order to run, thus cancelling any other actions?
In the case of the Cryx casters, I'd probably say the epics are better than the primes in general, though pDenny and pSkarre are still feared casters, and no one seems to give a damn about either Goreshade. For Cygnar, I certainly see more people playing the epic forms than the prime ones, but it's because the epics are very good at very useful specific things, which may be different what their prime forms are very good at. Khador is pretty split - pButcher and pVlad are very good, possibly more than the epic forms, and both Irusks are viable.
As for the second question, a unit gets the run/charge order, so a single grunt can't run off while his friends shoot.

They've always been super helpful anytime I've had to deal with them over email or even the phone.

Or at GenCon. Had bought one of their cases (one of the small C4 cases) from a FLGS a few weeks prior to the show, and the strap broke during. I swung by the booth and asked if they sold replacement ones, and one of the BF guys took the broken strap into the back of the booth and came out with one of the heavier-duty ones for the big mini cases and gave it to me for free.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
That said, I own a Battlefoam bag and it's pretty great.
Did I read correctly that a decent 25 pt Siege list would look something like this?
Siege
Defender
Squire
Reinholdt
Jr w/Defender
Stormguard
If so, I was thinking for a 35 pt list of including Nyss hunters and a GMCA+Stormcaller or pEiryss.
The good news would be that I think I'd only need the squire and reinholdt for the 25 pt list.

EDIT: A 35 pt list I think I could live with:
Siege
*Defender
*Defender
Squire
Reinholdt
Junior
Rangers
Stormguard
Hammerfall HS Gun Corps
Junior AS's the dwarves, Rangers do their thing, which allows Siege, and the Defenders to do their thing, and the Gun Corps is that rock in the middle that will drive people nuts since Siege will be foxholing them so he and the defenders can shoot over. Oh, and Stormguard to make infantry leery of getting too close.
pVlad
p/eIrusk
pSorscha
Destroyer
Juggernaut
6 IFP with Officer and Standard
some winterguard with officer and standard
Where do I go next?
Spriggan.
Widowmakers.
4 IFP grunts.
I dunno about the spriggan, is that still metal?

You've got the basics, and you're dodging a bullet by dropping the GMCA, but the Hammerfall Gun Corps isn't particuarly impressive. I'd run:
Points: 35/35
Major Markus 'Siege' Brisbane (*5pts)
* Defender (9pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts)
* Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts)
* * Defender (9pts)
Rangers (5pts)
Stormguard (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts)
Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts)
Foxhole the Stormguard and use them to stall the enemy's advance. The Marshalled Defender has a threat range of 25" and the other rune shots add utility at a long range. Between the Rangers and Gun Mages, you should be able to handle any infantry, especially on seige's feat turn. That leaves the defenders and Seige to concentrate on heavier targets.
I'm not a big fan of the Gun Mage models, but I had forgotten what the UA could do for them with Jack Marshalling, so I think I'll update my purchasing list. Thank You!
