Choir will work on collossals

[Kazi]

Watch the video insider on the Kraken. In it, the PP staffer moves the Kraken with a +2 Spd, +2 Mat spell counter on it.

+2 Spd, +2 Mat in Cryx would be the spell Death Machine.

-Death Machine is target Warjack.

-It is a fully painted and assembled model, suggesting that it was not an early playtest game.

-Therefore, Collosals must have the warjack designator.

-Therefore, the choir, Iron Aggression, Escort, even jack bonds? Should work.

Discuss.

didn't they already comment on that in the NQ and the first colossal preview when they said "colossals are warjacks and part of your warcaster's battlegroup"?

[IMakeGoodwin'sLawHappen]

That was my understanding as well, that it was taken for granted that they would be affected by things that target warjacks only. But just being told, hey it works this way, and actually seeing that it does are two different things.

But yeah, as far as I knew colossals have been warjacks the entire time so those spells and abilities working was a given for me, with the exception of things like witch hound as I don't thing they can have out of activation movements, also ruling out enliven.

The NQ article spelled it out too. They'll be affected by battlegroup spells, but can't be moved or placed outside of activation (so no Perdition for instance).

Since they don't say "warjack" on the cards I was hesitant to conclude that warjack specific abilities would work. I was afraid they would be warjacks from a fluff standpoint, get focus, and be in battlegroups, but not be "warjacks" as far as rules for spell and ability interactions.

It is great for us with the choir. Like, really great. But I think it is better for Cygnar. Darius, welcome back to the game, big boy.

Also, it means those rockets and flamethrowers are probably the standard pow 12--14 with choir buff.

[Errant_knight]

I haven't seen anything on this but since they are warjacks can they be bonded? If so I think I have a new friend for eFeora.

[PG_Steampunk Jim]

Yeah, this is an awful lot of extrapolation for something that's already been confirmed.
