    Ding, dong, the double-teleport bullshit is dead.

    As a wise woman once said, "deal with it deal with it hashtag deal with it."

    EDIT: Oh, god, that's a great excuse to go to my FLGS tomorrow, since it's a fairly Circle-heavy meta. mmm... spite.

    Time to go check out the PP forums, this should be amusing

    Oh, PP. You so cray-cray.

    Nerf to Bradigus = good.

    Nerf to Circle as a whole = ehhhh. The faction is not tearing up the game so I don't see why you make that change at this point. It should've been changed at the release of Mk2 or saved for Mk3.

    Honestly, I think it'll probably end up being a good thing in the long run since they don't have to worry about design being hampered due to the existence of the double teleport.

    And it does basically bring it in-line and consistent with all the other place effects which are once-per-turn.

    I agree, which is why I think they should've done it way earlier before all Mk2 models were designed with that in mind. :)

    Weird. For some reason I was under the impression that teleporting something multiple times was done away with the advent of Mk2. I remember it being a thing with Baldur in Mk1. I forget what changed during the transition. Guess this wasn't it.

    I don't remember the Mk1 card, but I'm guessing it was because in Mk1 they said "the model can't move" whereas in Mk2 it's "the model must forfeit movement" and all of their other rulings tell you you can't forfeit the same thing twice. Except that they specifically ruled you could with Shifting Stones.

    It's a good thing for some of circle's other support. Hunters mark, bounding and Kaya's beast support spells all get comparatively better.

    I agree that it diversifies the movement shenanigans that are playable, since before it was pretty much the shifting/warpath/TK/beatback express, but I'm not sure I would say it makes them better. :P

    So, been wanting to jump back and play some Menoth, how is it doing? Is Horse Kreoss good? Because he looks awesome.

  • Options
    kaortikaorti Registered User regular
    Menoth is great. It has always been great. Kreoss3 is perfectly viable.

    SmogCon video's up.

    EDIT: Goddamn those last 20 seconds were more hype than the rest of the video combined.

    Hnnnnnnnhhhhhh that fucking Hydra.

    5 spray tens? Better be at least rat 4. Black Spot + Willbreaker = 11 shots on a REALLY GOOD DAY.

    HAIL HYDRA!

    I was surprised the Hydra was already fully sculpted and painted. Sooner rather than later, maybe?

    Possible, but a fully-painted model doesn't mean they have the molds up-and-running.

  • Options
    PMAversPMAvers Registered User regular
    Sure, but it'd be farther along than ones that are just 3D renders.

    Same with the new Cryx Colossal - the Sepulcher. Seems these two might be coming down the pipe first.

    Apparently it just does 6" sprays, or can combine them into 10's.

    I think PP is getting their model designs really dialed in. I cant wait to see the full rules. I predict that the blight bringer will feel really unfair.

    Well, like, the new gargantuans are great sculpt-wise, but the new colossals are a fucking joke, so I'm not sure I completely agree with the sentiment.

    I do not have a Hordes army. I am somewhat interested in Skorne.

    My LGS has the Skorne "full army" box in. They are also having a sale through tomorrow for 30% off.

    I have gift cards that can cover the (adjusted) cost of the set.

    Decisions, decisions

    The Skorne box seems like a good deal, model-wise - everything in there is solid on the table.

    I am now extra confused as to why the new Colossals simply look like upgrade kits. I get in the lore they are using the same chassis but that isn't really an excuse. Based on the artwork and the Cryx Sepulcher the new variants are, visually, a big let down. New Gargantuans are great, though.

    That box contains like $230+ of models. It's a fantastic deal. Plus, Skorne is getting a Hydra. :)

    Oh definitely. The Skorne Warbeasts (including the mammoth and upcoming hydra) are the main reason I'm looking at going with them.

    Worst case you buy the box it and ebay them in a few months. You'll probably make your money back easily. ;)

    Do we know if plastic Iron Fangs are incoming?

    I've stumbled into some Khador, and I'm looking to expand my troop options. REALLY not looking forward to brass rodding those bad boys.

    Plastic Iron Fangs are inevitable, but they haven't been previewed so they're likely at least six months out.
