There is a new Khador caster, oh and Khador gets rocked hard core. They mention what the 5 military houses specialise in. Nyarr is dawnguard, but dawnguard is just a term for the heavy troops. All the Military houses have dawnguard. House Shyeel supplied the majority of the warcasters to the RoS as well as their Myrs. House Vyre has stepped up production for Ios, so we might see some Vyre Myrs.<br /><br />The Orgoth were human. I don't remember if that was mentioned anywhere else, but that stuck out to me.Serraphimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064071545644571075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-68919893451357189252009-08-20T02:58:13.988-07:002009-08-20T02:58:13.988-07:00I hate you, I want this book so baaad.I hate you, I want this book so baaad.Yoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502788339352601067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-2921075796622764472009-08-19T20:59:46.679-07:002009-08-19T20:59:46.679-07:00Any way you could send me a picture of the Dragoon...Any way you could send me a picture of the Dragoon?

Normally someone would not feel entirelly threatened at 17" from Garryth because they are out of his melee range, even with Mirage on himself, and his ranged shots are more or less icing on his already delicious blade-cakes. But having several Assassins around he can Gallows directly from himself to the enemy warcaster and apply Death Sentence as long as he gets a 2" pull but that is merely Vacuum Theory and is just another tool in his spectacular warcaster killing repertoire.Magnus' Right Hand Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047001625955576167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-46589014633703010902009-08-18T17:17:35.214-07:002009-08-18T17:17:35.214-07:00The really nice thing about the assassin is that M...The really nice thing about the assassin is that MAT looks like nothing your caster should worry about, until you add Garryth to the mix. The rerolls from Death Sentence helps her hit those high DEF casters, who cant even buff it as she ignores those spells.<br /><br />It's not going to surprise me when you read and hear about surprise assassinations from the assassin missle.<br /><br />P.S: Garryth also gives one of them an eztra 2" threat. Nothing like a decapitating weaponmaster with a 16" threat range.Serraphimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064071545644571075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-87247997739182064122009-08-16T08:38:46.882-07:002009-08-16T08:38:46.882-07:00Alright here is my two cents, I'll put it all ...Alright here is my two cents, I'll put it all in one comment to keep it a bit simpler. First of all the Retribution is not overpowered to say the least, the PP forums are just full of knee jerking cry babies who can't change their theorymachine lists they got from the forums to deal with a new threat.<br /><br />And that is what the Retribution is, a new threat, they take tactics you never had to think about to defeat and models that have been thought of as bad, for example Black Ogrun will be amazing for Cryx to get to those pesky Soulless Escorts. <br /><br />But I digress, we got a ton of amazing things that can deal with everything out there. I'll start with Rahn, who is probably my least favorite caster but if you like board control and push things around this is the caster for you. If you need to clear up a lane or move someone off an objective this guy is the guy for you. Ravyn is absolutely amazing, she is a wrecking machine against infantry, and good with an array for shooting troops, with a couple Phoenix she can really send them flying across the field with Locomotion.<br /><br />Now the Infantry, all amazing so I won't really go into it too much. The only thing I would've liked is more themed lists that include the Houseguard. <br /><br />And the solos the creme of the crop for us.With stars for me being the Scyir, Assassin,and Nayl. First the Scyir which basically is asking for a Griffon every time you put him on the table. He is just too good especially around Dawnguard, such as invictors who have flank and he can charge right through them along with his jack. Now my favorite the Assassin, (if I can't give out stats let me know) a Mat 7 Spd 7 PS 9 (I believe) 4" reach, Weapon Master, with Decapitation and Arcane Assassin.She is bananas, will probably go over by a stiff breeze but they bring such a threat of fear to the table that she doesn't need to do her job but to keep the enemy from doing their's. Now Nayl, whos stats are mediocre but is just a caster disruption bomb, send him close and wait for him to be destroyed giving you one round of reprieve from focus, then have Garryth pops his feat the next turn and if you have Eiryss have her shoot him the last turn. Three rounds without focus is the majority of a game for a warcaster and makes them quite helpless for say an assassin to come in and finish the job, that or Narn who is still awesome.<br /><br />The more I think about the Retribution the more I like them especially all my Mage Hunters now, I love these guys.Magnus' Right Hand Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047001625955576167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-70742652682022899372009-08-08T22:30:13.591-07:002009-08-08T22:30:13.591-07:00Well seeing as Gencon is soon, I hope the quiet wi...Well seeing as Gencon is soon, I hope the quiet will be over soon.Magnus' Right Hand Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047001625955576167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-38913603753725430832009-07-27T14:24:31.200-07:002009-07-27T14:24:31.200-07:00I am in love with NARN, too.

I know that the melee role of them is able to be done by sentinels, but thats not all they are. <br /><br />I love combined range shots on the enemy models. I love the fact that my range unit can have armor 19. I love the fact that if you do melee them they aren't just going to roll over and die. Add in the fact that we have two jacks with the same range to stand in their lines to add flank with them makes for a great center control area. <br /><br />Now when we see what the mage hunter strike force and the house guard can do, I admit that I may want to run other things then them in 35/500 point games. <br /><br />Also I can't ever see having them use their jack marshal ability. Then again I can't see having the sentinels use it either. I would loved to have seen the sentinels get flank instead and the invictors get a second shot ability, but thats just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-2731764331584592392009-07-10T19:02:21.555-07:002009-07-10T19:02:21.555-07:00I think any outburst about a game and faction you ...I think any outburst about a game and faction you are passionate about, as long as they do not seem "whiny" are ok.<br /><br />Then again I didn't see the PP Boards post, but I don't think your last entry was bad or anything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166482626447130441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-23493934527506422932009-07-10T16:25:22.312-07:002009-07-10T16:25:22.312-07:00I can see the problems that Invictors can have the...I can see the problems that Invictors can have they fall into the realm of Multi-Role units, such as Stormblades, Errants, and Arcuarii who in Mk. 1 don't get much love, but the diference is that Invictors are slightly more ranged orriented than these other Multi-Role unit which opens up a few more options. <br /><br />I too am favoring Sentinels at the moment, having the same PS as the Invictors shot along with Weapon Master and with the inclussion Lanyssa in an army with the use of Hunter's Mark they have virtually the same threat. With Invictors having a ranged threat of 15" and Sentinels having a threat of 12" so being a cheaper unit Sentinels do have very obvious upsides.Magnus' Right Hand Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047001625955576167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-69518826047989106362009-07-10T14:47:03.633-07:002009-07-10T14:47:03.633-07:00Flank in no way should work with ranged attacks :)...Flank in no way should work with ranged attacks :) DC is correct. <br /><br />I am confidant that you will find uses for one unit over the other!K-Larkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703706505227046901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-56929462324319210302009-07-10T11:23:19.697-07:002009-07-10T11:23:19.697-07:00Let's just hope their UA is awesome.Let's just hope their UA is awesome.Magnus' Right Hand Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047001625955576167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662456906305253343.post-6621964684464150842009-07-09T08:21:13.831-07:002009-07-09T08:21:13.831-07:00I pulled out the bit about the Sentinels having fl...I pulled out the bit about the Sentinels having flank.
