New NQ Theme Force - Shae

[Chopsworth]

The benefit is not per three. It's three required and then for each you get one rhulic AD.

Thanks for the clarification! With that advantage in mind this theme list might have some potential.

[cannonball]

An AD'd Basher with Thor ADing to. Sounds like fun to me.

[Tavitin]

I'm i the only one here thinking of getting all 6pt jacks, and like an army of them?

You weren't doing that with Shae already?

[StJason]

That certainly does make the AD bonus better. I still want "Rhulic units count as Privateer Sea Dogs".
Or Lakeforge Marines (HINT, HINT)

[CareyBear]

some of them are 3 points.

[Tavitin]

When i mean ALL i mean ALL:

Shae
^Nomad
^Nomad
^Freebooter

Highshield Gun Corps (max)
^Driller
^Driller

Thor
^Basher

9pts left for 50 (three Bokurs? lol)

[Snarl]

I come back after some time away to find this and first thing that comes to mind is that Xzibit misheard "wharves" as "dwarves".

"Yo Sea Dawg, I heard you like ..."

Disorienting to say the least. Hopefully this isn't a sign that Fonzie is getting fitted for waterskis.

Well then...

I got to see the actual theme force this weekend. While chatting it up on the ride home, we realized you can get some epically - and I am talking epicenter of epically B0rk3nzville!! - movement shenanigans with Thor and a Basher, and going second!!

[PG_ikildkenny]

just out of curiousity - care to elaborate?

and one more thing ... T2 - 1 or 2 units? and T4 - 2 or 3 (amphibious) jacks?

Does this mean I have to get a second Basher for Thor and not run any OACs?

Only one Highshield is required. But the free extra UA makes me think a pair of min units may be the way to go.

As for T4... Sorry mate. I am having a total bout of cranial flatulence at the moment... I want to say it is 2+ but don't copy that as gospel truth...

The CAC... err, I mean OAC are optional. But the point discount actually makes them worth it in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with a second Basher for everyone's favorite mini-Zippo!!

So you AD Thor and a Basher and go 2nd? That's a 18" deep deployment with Thor activating, advancing 5", Pronto a Basher for 5", Tune Up to hit. Shae next for feat 3", Coup for 5" charge and then the Basher goes for a 10" charge with boosted to hit with a free slam.

So to tally that all up that's 36" from your table edge if you go 2nd? And if you do you'll most likely be contacting them as they'll have moved off their deployment line. Oh and there is always follow up with a Flack Field to.

[wazatdingder]

I highly doubt tier 4 is the optimal way to go, so you are only 34" up the field

[The Buoyancy of Water]

Surely the rockram can threat even further using assault..?

[Ger]

I've always wanted to lead with Dwarves. They've always been too slow for it though. This is going to be an interesting tier.

It was so nice, he had to post it twice!!

[cannonball]

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun if you can pick the flank that's got less options vs. the Basher. Also they'll be a bucket load of Pirates coming down the shoot to!

That said I've been reading Rancor's threads too much and now I want to field Thor with 2 Drillers.

[lastspartacus]

I only found out today my 7 point single attack pow15 basher cant flack field mid-movement. I used to think it grand to clear charges. I am sad.

[sleet01]

Why not Pronto, then activate, Flak Field, and finally charge?

Umm... That's a core rule dude. Even I know this!!

So what's your excuse??

[LordSorrow]

Just a question would tech the commodore and the deck gun be allowed because they are sea dog crew units? IDK just wonder.....

[PG_vytzka]

They're not Sea Dog Crew units. They're Sea Dog units.

[MagnustheJust]

Sea Dog crew is what you add riflemen and Mr.Walls to...

[cannonball]

Have the NQ now and doubt I'll go to tier four.

[moorg]

Depends on the wording. If it said "all Rhulic Mercenary solos" then it would mean ALL.

All the solos you can use are named specifically in the list. No generic entries except for Warjacks.

[FluffyZealot]

If the jack restrictions are listed as "Mercenary non-character warjacks", it still doesn't mean that Shae can have Rhulic jacks in his battle group does it?

[cannonball]

No Rhulic jacks in hos BG. You'll need to take Thor or the High Shields to field Rhulic Warjacks.

[CyrDraconis]

Finally got my NQ copy. Interesting once the particulars are confirmed. Will say I just about died at this bit in the fluff piece though:

"You can't be expecting me to persuade Shae to become a Rhulic spy?" Rockbottom laughed. "You'd have better luck marrying the Empress of Khador than parting Shae from the Meridius!"

[FluffyZealot]

Wish the forgeguard were included. *Sigh* time to buy some OAC :P

[PG_vytzka]

Way to sink my Vlad x Empress ship, No Quarter!

[cannonball]

It would be fun if the merc colossal has amphibious then he'll make one jack to the two jack limit to get to tier four.

And with a deployment zone of 12" if you go second plus Coup plus attacking a tough no KD sea dog for the charge attack you'll be able to bring a few guns to bear first turn eh? And to follow that up you alpha strike them with feat plus Sea Dogs and Third Bashers.

[VintertheElder]

I think somebody mentioned it earlier but I'll reiterate because it's hysterical. It's finally SEAFORGE. People have been typing and mispronouncing Searforge for such a long time they decided to make it a real list. Way to go PP.

[PG_Dicewraith]

Well, this is a tad premature, but I am hoping as of right now to get the models needed, and paint this army for lock and load....32ish models, 4 days.

[Ger]

Holy crap. Good luck man! Godspeed!

hehehehehehehehehehe

[PG_Dicewraith]

Holy crap. Good luck man! Godspeed!

hehehehehehehehehehe

Appreciate it. The only lynch pin is getting the rest of the models I want tomorrow. First model is done. Tomorrow is assemble, primer, and get a few more done. Maybe I should put pics up here......We;'ll see, it eats up the time.

That's our Dicewraith... taking on huge challenges and making the impossible possible...

[PG_Dicewraith]

its not impossible, its inconceivable
