    Default Three questions on Searforge and a Fluff question on Ogrun

    Is there any info if the Merc Colossal will have a rule akin to Brun's saying it can be used in Searfoge Contract army lists?
    Is the Searforge Contract worth loosing on stuff like Wyssnalyr if you're already mostly Rhulic/Ogrun anyway?
    What is the general opinion on Ogrun Assault Corp units?

    Fluff: How feasible is it for an Ogrun to be a Warcaster? I think an Ogrun Warcaster would be an interesting twist for Searforge.

    PP has already stated that the Stunties will not be able to use Galleon, due to it having a human cortex.

    Pretty close to a 50/50 opinion on them... I for one do not care for them personally.

    A few folks have been clamoring for this, for several years now. Doug Seacat has come out and said that Ogrun do not have the ability to use divine magicks, so I would not hold your breath on that one...

    Are you sure about that? I know that Ogrun can not use Arcane magic but I have never read anything that says they can not use divine.

    I've heard no colossal but nothing on Battle engine either.
    Imagine a big Gun Bunnie on a Huge base, would be cool if it happened.

    Ogrun can become divine casters, mostly priests of Dhunia (or Devourer wurm if they're so aligned - less so in Rhul). We know from Constance and all those Menites that divine casters can become warcasters, but with Dhunia being the Mother Nature and all that, it's more likely that ogrun spellcasters would be warlocks instead of warcasters.

    Ya know what... If Searforge casters can only use special Rhulic 'Jacks that require merc players to shell out $200 bucks to have battlegroup options for two casters than I say to hell with it and lets have a special Ogrun Warlock that works only for Searforge and has his own special battlegorup of Rhulic beasts; just to makes things even more obnoxious and ridiculous. Slow, low DEF, and high ARM bears. Bears with claws, bears with hammers, and bears lobbing giant Rhulic ale molotovs. A whole slew of them. Also a small bunny with magic cannons on it's back... That way everyone Searforge can have gun bunnies.

    I have always thought that a faction that could use both warjacks and warbeasts would be frigging AWESOME! it would be hell to keep it balanced and will prolly never happen but man that would be friggin sweet! obviously, in any non-unleashed or high point game, the caster would be restricted to either jacks or beasts, but i just think the idea of a faction like that would be amazing (and i could see it being Faction: Rhul if they ever fleshed the stunties out enough for that)

    I don't think there's anything worth losing the searforge contract to, but I like having a pure Rhulic army.

    As far as having a faction that uses both warjacks and warbeasts, we already have one. It's called the Searforge Commission. Just take Brun and Lug and you'll be using fury and focus as well as beasts and 'jacks.

    I don't quite understand why PP can't make a rule called, "Universal Cortex: Rhulics can use this jack/colossal too."
    Finally, why is Searforge awesome? Answer: The Landslide Suckerpunch, because you NEVER forget the first time your 'caster gets "Gortened"

    And the look on your opponents face when they see a Mangler, 3 Renegades, a Bronzeback, and Molik Karn across the table from them is just priceless!!

    Just 3 Oblite-I mean Renegades? Seems like your numbers are a bit off on that.

    But then the rest of the mercenary casters will not be able to use it. From a fluff standpoint, the nation of Rhul would be the most likely to have colossals, they kind of created them afterall. Then, since they are a nation that puts focus on their mercenary aspects, they could hire out their colossals much like a mercenary, with a univeral cortex, to other mercenary contracts. This way everyone can use the colossal.

    Problem solved and everyone can use the mercenary colossal.

    I really hope a PP higher up sees this post....

    Strangely I think I'd rather have a Rhulic battle engine before having a colossal. Hope those rumors prove true about one appearing in Colossals.

    You can actually take four lesser warlocks: wrongeye and snapjaw, rorsh and brine, Brun and lug and Dalliah Hallyr and Skarath. Wrongeye and Rorsh will work for the widest range of factions though.
