    I think it's about time for Alllister Caine to find out he's Vinter's bastard so he can claim Cygnar's throne so he can take over all of Western Immoren to have all the hot girls to himself.

    I don't understand any of this.....I think that is a good thing. [refering to the above conversation

    Yesterday eCaine + eButcher = 15 shots and a dead butcher
    Today Mulg + eButcher = smack, whiff, smack and a dead bucher.

    Mulg is a scary monster. I'd read about it. But to do it......wow.

    You are, indeed, lucky.

    Mulg can drop 7(8 with doomy) PS19s on someone's head, and can move up to 12" in a round(with reach). That's without any outside buffs.

    Add in a Mauler, and they're PS22. An Axer? 16" and Pathfinder. Pyre Troll? PS24 and crit fire.

    Borka? 18" and an additional damage roll with auto KD

    Grim? Pathfinder, Hunter and +3MAT

    Grissel is my favorite, though. +1 Attack and +2MAT and Damage, to a total 8 PS26s.

    You must remember Carn, that a beast can only have 1 animus on it at any time.

    Or so I was told. my Hordes PDF is kinda broken and its a pain in the ass to open so most of the time I take other people's word on it lol

    I just looked it up, you are indeed correct. I thought that they fell under the "you can only have one upkeep per unit/model, but you can be affected by any number of spells" rule of spells.

    Thank god, because otherwise... the Mulg missile of doom could only be compared to the Molik missile of broken assassination.

    As it stands, they are both really good beasts. They dont need 3 animi on them too lol

    Edit: Just to clarify, in no way am I crying "Broken!" on Mulg or Molik.

    Borka+Mauler still gives you 16" threat per round and PS22+3d6 with auto KD.

    Mulg manages to be a better point investment than the Avatar, and that's a pretty damned difficult thing to do. Molik is a heavy beast with two attacks, reach and weapon master. He's got a bunch of other shit in addition to that, too. I'll let people make up their own minds.

    One thing to note about Molik, though, is that he only has STR 8, the absolute lowest of all heavy beasts/jacks, IIRC. That makes him very vulnerable to throws, and completely helpless against 2hThrows.

    I don't think it will be as bad when the Hordes books come out, as PP has learned to not make Tier Lists shit worthless. Molik will only be in Makeda lists, and Mulg in Doomy lists.

    Fun Fact: I didn't know Warlocks could use animi. eMorg could run in, thresher, and fatewalker out with parry. Also makes Krea and Cannoneer that much more useful.

    That is why they have such tiny spell lists - the rest come from their beasts.

    I'm trying to sort out a good 35 pt pMagnus Tier list. Here's what I've got so far:

    Magnus the Traitor
    Renegade
    Renegade
    Mangler
    Steelhead Halberdiers (Leader and 9 Grunts)
    Steelhead Riflemen (Leader and 9 Grunts)

    This puts me at 27 points. I'm thinking either:

    Boomhowler minimum (6 pts) and Kell Bailoch (2 pts)

    or

    Mule (8 pts)

    I like the look of both options, aesthetically. Which one do you guys think would be more fun to play?

    I would personally go the route with more troops. Magnus is only 6 focus and he doesnt really need 4 warjacks in his battlegroup.

    By the way, were I to have come into some cash and had found some Menoth products that interested me on thewarstore, (mostly the Menoth battlebox, and a unit of TFG) what paints would I need?

    They have a Menoth paint box with like 6 paints in it. Would I need all that, and then some flesh colors?

    This will be my first painting experience with P3 so I need all the advice i can get haha

    Good deal. This is the route I ended up going anyway. I found the Boomhowler box at a pretty damn good price and just couldn't say no.

    Entered this in google, and it came up with a very amusing comic. I expect that was what you intended us to find? 8-)


    Noticed my post above said Magnus is 6 fury. This somewhat troubles me. thus, it is fix'd. lol Focus ftw

    Oh, Circle. Your ability to fold like paper in the face of attrition is legendary. Went 1-1 in today's Finale. Captured no flags.

    Defender against an Irusk player, 50pt game as pKreuger. I had the good fortune of starting with 3 forests in my area and did a damn fine job stalling him for most of the game. Too bad there was no time limit. I think he made 80% of his tough rolls on feat turn, too. On 5+ to add insult to injury.

    Second game was Attacker against eSevvy. Same list. I trampled to Sevvy and beat him down with Megalith, then finished him off with a well placed chain lightning. Couldn't get any flags.

    Edit: To answer the earlier question on who Cain-ce's buddy would be... I would say the female Journeyman.

    This story may cheer you up OtakuD00D - I took my trusty Cygnar against an eKaya army in a local tourney on Sunday. Kaya, Laris, a Feral and a Pureblood. The silly goose of a Feral Warpwolf would not die, then proceeded to OM-NOM-NOM poor Stryker. While his feat was in effect.

    He was DEF 16, ARM 21! Still, it was a fun game, I think I've actually gotten quite a bit better at Warmahordes; my main weakness still seems to be a tendency to overextend myself and leave key elements of my force (like my warcaster or the Black 13th) too far out front; where they're vulnerable to, say, being eaten by wolf monsters :P

    Those Circle guys really need to go all in or nothing. I find if you attack piecemeal, you lose - or if the opponent finds someway of tying up half your army.

    But being Circle thats like 90% never a problem, usually you're giving him headaches. But yeah, a concentrated focus of force is definitely needed because they can't survive taking a hit. Think of them like scalpels - slice, slice, slice and don't get caught.

    lol I'm re-reading this and it probably makes no sense, but I'll post anyway because I'm sitting in school opening up Carns pic links and almost getting caught like a perv.


    I think I'll stick with Ret for the tourney - it'll get others and myself some experience with them (which is pro) and it'll change the lineup a bit. If I had ran Khador it was going to be a silly Zerkova list anyway and pIrusk - not terribly threatening. Anyway, I'll go over the book again Carn and PM you any questions. It'll probably be mostly "how did this unit do for you" but it all helps.

    Finals suuuuuuuuuuck.

    I have never seen a circle win come from anything other than a first strike assassination involving some sort of teleporting shenanigans, at least in mk2. Attrition is sooooo not their friend!

    In a side note, and one of personal victory - I think I am all but done with the 'other' board. All their crying is going to short out my internets!

    yeah! bring it on!

    What are some other lists we could try and make. What DOESN'T supposedly work for each faction?

    I feel you on the vassal complications. not being able to see the whole board, or zooming and in and out makingit impossible to eyeball distances is a real mess. Love that it exists though. Not a 'hater', it does not intend to replace the table top in any way, but being able to share a 'table' with people anywhere in the world is worth the annoyances.
