I'm sure she will be a fine caster in the Cygnar tradition, but can we take a chill pill on the love fest? You are setting yourself up for dissapointment is she is not a godly caster. Wait for the stats so we can give her a fair evaluation. Speculation is one thing, and cool, but I am getting kind of frustrated having her constantly brought into every conversation.
She is not strategy, she is theory. remember that please.

Kara Sloan doesn't need strategy, she simply flexes her finger and the enemy die.

Honestly, most of the Kara love has been joking response to other forums going insane with fear about her, when all we know are the stats on her gun and, possibly, the name of a spell or her feat.

I agree, most of the commentary in this forum is in response to the widespread panic that seems to be erupting in other forums at the appearance of a RNG 14 POW 12 Weaponmaster.
I fully expect her to not fall into the "god tier", and be a middling caster which is at least partially reliant on having warjacks in her army. Perhaps a less schizophrenic version of Kraye. In fact, I'm kind of hoping for such, or at least someone that I can run with my Trenchers that won't make me feel as bad as running Siege does... XD

In all honesty: The Kara love is pure comedy and not to be taken seriously.
But we all know: Kara Sloane puts the fear of Kara Sloane in every living being. Fear of God went out of style ever since she was announced. :D Ask Cryx if you don´t believe me. :)

Nobody is really hyping up Kara Sloan out of legitimate expectations. I started a couple of the other threads as a parody of the ones created by factions raging about how broken the model was based on just the stats of her gun. I tried using sound reasoning in these doom threads about Kara and it just wouldn't stick, the negativity and deep-rooted hate persisted.
... So, to heck with it, embrace it. Kara Sloan is the most awesome caster in the game, and she trumps all other casters. I'm pretty sure this is what PP invented the game for, and we've all just been waiting the decade since the game's inception for the first coming of Kara (afterwards, time is measured in AKS for After Kara Sloan). Also, I hear that Superman wears Kara Sloan underwear.

Without the Kara Sloan underwear Superman is just boring Kal-El, another illegal alien stealing our jobs.

Kara Sloan once had an awkward moment, just to see how it felt.
Kara Sloan never retreats, she just attacks in the opposite direction.
Kara Sloan's favorite color is violet, only because it sounds like violent.
When bad things happen to good people, its probably fate. When bad things happen to bad people, it’s probably Kara Sloan.
The city of Caspia once named a street after Kara Sloan in gratitude for her saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Kara Sloan and lives.
Kara Sloan doesn't miss. If she didn't hit you it's because she was shooting at another Warcaster twelve miles away.

Ysthrall

Chocolate flowers made out of a new sort of explosive she's never seen before. Also, a small bottle of perfumed gun oil. Always need more of that...
Probably a bad idea giving her the number of the Cygnar Warcasters Hair Styling Service... although they did do a good job on.... uh.... hang on, I'll think of someone... (Kraye's still wearing his hat, Haley does her own...) Siege?

That was probably stolen and reworded from an old joke, but I've never heard it before and got a good chuckle out of it!
...then I quickly stopped and looked over my shoulder nervously. Killing an Empress is serious business, and Kara doesn't like laughter.

Kara Sloan
Ka-ra Sloan
Five-foot nine
Packs a big ol' gun
Opponents beware
Opponents beware
She's aimin'
She's aimin'
She's aimin'
Yes the girl is so fine
She got two in a line
That's two Menite warcasters
Sent to the divine
With a gobber in a longcoat
She's scoutin' the land
Takes out whole squads of Winter Guard
All part of the plan
[...I can't do any more of this... :p]

When bad things happen to other people, it's definitely Kara Sloan. Good, bad, she's the one with the gun.

Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a girl named Kara Sloan
Oh, Sloan just flew into this town
And she's shootin' till all the casters' moan
She's blastin' and cappin' and dispatchin'
She's blastin' and cappin' and dispatchin'
She's blastin' and cappin' and dispatchin'
She just blasts, caps, dispatches those 'casters
Kara Sloan's got a long nasty gun
She starts shoot' and don't know when to stop
All you generals gotta watch when she's done
'Cause Slaon don't care who's 'caster she pops
Ever since Sloan flew into town
ShHe's been havin' a ball
Just blastin' and cappin' for miles around
Small 'casters, medium 'casters, Terminus and all
Wakes up in the morning, half past five
Shots from sunrise to sunset
I don't see how she stays alive
'Casters gonna be the death of ole Sloan, yeah
The Menites put Sloan in jail
Yes, she finally met her faith
But when they came to pay her bail
They found her blastin' up her wrack mate
That Kara Sloan is a crazy woman
Tries to shoot down the wind and the rain
Just blasts on anything she can get
Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard nothing yet
Well, they let ole Sloan out of the jail
She went back to his store
All the trenchers who payed her bail
Were waitin' on Sloan to shoot some more
There's an old lich, who's ninety-two
Lives down the street
He said, one thing more I wanna do
Is find ole Sloan and let her shoot my meat
Sloan went to church one Sunday night
She gave the preacher a fit
That crazy Sloan started a fight
When she went blastin' on the pulpit
Well, they put her in jail again
They tried to give her life
Sloan beat the case, she pleaded insane
She had pulled quite a fast one
Well, she got out of jail on Sunday night
Monday she tightened her grip
She started to Zhu to see the sites
Went nuts again and shot up the ship
Brought ole Sloam back to town
To electrocute her there
But Sloan was crazy like a clown
She shot down that electric chair
She's a maniac!
She don't do nothin' but blastin'

[Awesome song writeup]
I wanted to get through the day without having Butcher Pete stuck in my head... but now it's too late!
I'm wondering if I should give Kara flowers or chocolates for Valentines Day?!
Give her both: She'll eat the flowers and plant the chocolates. When the chocolates don't grow, she'll point her gun menacingly at them (the only way she knows how to point her gun), and then Cygnar will have the first chocolate tree with a hazlenut core.

In short, I believe the original answer to the question "Can we relax a little on Kara?" is apparently a resounding "No."
Personally I'm interested in stats, spells and feats now. But the jokes are quite humorous. Now if I can just merge Harby's sword with Kara's gun.... mmmm... range 14, pow 12, weapon master that never misses. OPlicious.

Kara Sloan really runs Cygnar. She just lets King Leto do the paperwork.
Leto didn't defeat Vinter. Kara Sloan shot Vinter and he landed where the Skorne live and was wounded. That was her warning shot to cut out the crap.

How´s a merged Harby sword + Karas´gun different from her gun? As if she would miss... please stop insulting her by implicating she is able to miss. :p

I wonder if she's going to have a single focus spell ranged version of the Harrier Animus....
allowing her to ignore all targeting/LoS restrictions too.
just, pop, hit, dead.
Killing as easy as breathing... not that Kara needs to breath.

Speaking of swords and Kara, I'm interested to see whether or not Kara's sword does anything nifty, or if it's just a regular sword like pCaine's.
If it's the latter, I guess she's subscribing to Jack Churchill's philosophy that any officer who reports for duty without a sword is improperly dressed.

I play Retribution as well, although it's still a tertiary army for me after Cygnar and Mercs. I picked up an Invictor UA and a Scyir to round out my forces a bit more today, though.
Still, I couldn't resist the potential set-up for that line. XD

Now hope we never see a Kara vs Kara game... that would be the stuff of legends... and apocalypse.
