Colassals Thoughts

[usbprime]

So.......i'm bored......like mega bored at work.......

Here's my Idea. I'm thinking colassals will have at least 5 additions to each faction. Gaspy3 and the Kraken we know about.

I'd Like to hear your ideas on what could possibly be for the other 3 additions. And i'm not wanting something broken. I'm thinking more along the lines of realistic additions to our faction that would be interesting to see played, but not be rediculously OP

Here's My 3:

Bane Warrior - Bane Knight Weapon Attachment
2 Points per model, with up to 2 per unit, FA 2
Medium Base Bane Knight With a Tower Shield and a single handed Claymore
Same stats as Bane Knight with +1 str, +1Mat, -1 Def +2 Armor
Same Weapon Stats
Same Abilities (Ghostly and Vengence) with the Addition of "This model and any friendly bane knight B2B are immune to Blast Damage"
8 Health Boxes

Named Harrower/Leviathan/Desecrator Character Upgrade
11 point model
Same stats with Mat8, Rat4
2 different Melee Reach Weapons, have 1 with a Cull Soul Like Ability (Models Boxed by this weapon give this model a soul up to 3) and the other with Critical Knock down
Amphibious, and Immune to knock down
*Action - Unstable Ground - This model can spend 1 focus to make 3" of this model considered rough terrain by enemy models.

Mechanigun Unit (i know the name is terribad)
4 - 6 units with 6-10 models
Similiar to the mechanithralls, but with pistols instead of steamfists
Spd6 Str5 Mat5 Rat4 Def12 Arm12 Cmd 7
Two pow 7 range 10 pistols
Pistol Whip melee weapon Pow 2
CRA (didn't mean CMA)



Realistically these will probably never come around......but hey, what else do you do when bored at work.....

[Sheer_Falacy]

I think we'll only get gaspy and the kraken. PP hasn't mentioned or announced anything else, not even a hint.

Also that's totally the kind of shooting unit we'd get - really, really bad.

[Sanctjud]

I would need 4 Bane Warriors pronto!
But why FA2 you meanie, BK's are FA3

[ZombieWar]

because double epic gaspy's theme list gives you an extra one free when you bring 7 units of drudges

[Bohrdog]

I would like to see a unit with the Ranking Officer ability maybe a Satyxis or Black Ogrun.

[SjoerdH]

Steamzombie mechthralls should have mini-guns like Cyclone. Or perhaps in the form of a different brute thrall attachment to the mech unit. That would be awesome.

[Tèarion]

Bane Knight ua....granting stealth.....all thats needed.

[Sanctjud]

Bane Knight ua....granting stealth.....all thats needed.

DOOM! Why don't you throw on granted Dark Shroud and Mini-feat No Quarter...Trololol?

[zyxx]

we know of 3 things that we are getting... a new warcaster (this is verified if you look under what is included in the colossals book) , gaspy3, and the kraken... as far as what we don't know, I am willing to bet that one of our solos will go epic (anyone remember E.alixea?) i dont know about any new Helljacks, but bone jacks are possible... also a new unit and a UA for the knights....i am pretty sure that will be 1, maybe 2, more things... but thats just what i think.

[Caanos]

Well, based on Wrath, we got 8 new items to use. Based on that number, I'm guessing we'll be getting 2 casters (Gaspy3 and new), sevaral new Jacks, a UA/WA, solo/Esolo, and the colossal. We could all get a new unit if they decide to cut back on the Jacks we get. This is just based on the previous book of course.

[Lamoron]

We got an Amphibious Helljack kit so it would be stupid not to include an Amphibious Helljack Character. My money would be on a character Leviathan because the Desecrator is new and a character Harrower would be either insane or insanely expensive in points cost.

I'm hoping for a Lord Rockbottom type solo that supports Cephalyx. I'm hoping for a Ranked Officer but it will never happen. I'm hoping for a Soul Hunter UA. I'm hoping for a Bloodgorger UA, and I'm hoping for more Iron Liches in general.

[Barrynstein]

I'm hoping for a Soul Hunter UA. I'm hoping for a Bloodgorger UA, and I'm hoping for more Iron Liches in general.

Oh it would be so great if we got even just one of these UA's.

[ZombieWar]

soulhunter UA would be such win.

[zyxx]

soulhunter UA would be such win.

we already have a have one.... Darragh Wraith... a Soulhunter WA would be win!

[ZombieWar]

by that logic we will never get a bloodgorger or bane knight UA and there shouldnt be a bane thrall or satyxis raider UA....

[jonconcarne]

Well, I thought that the PP said at the templecon Q&A that there were not going to be any casters or jacks besides the new epics and colossals. I can't find it right now, but I wouldn't be expecting anything there. If there is anything besides Gaspy3 and the Kraken, I expect a UA/WA/Solo or three.

[usbprime]

The other thing I mayhap thinking about is a character unit upgrade kit.....kind of black dragon iron fang pikemen style.....I just couldn't think of a unit that would make an easy conversion......well except bane knights, but I couldn't think of new rules for them that would make them a valid option over name knights. Maybe drudges......get them an upgrade kit that comes with a new officer...... Bah who am I kidding that would never happen.

[Sheer_Falacy]

I'd hope for a bane knight UA and a bloodgorger UA. They just need a little help vs thralls and satyxis. Pirates and especially drudges would need a much better UA.

[jonconcarne]

A Bane Knight UA would be easy. Minifeat of eyeless sight, tactics defensive line. One models, 2 pts. Done. He could even be a character!

Another idea is for the UA to give +2 MAT on Vengeance attacks.... mmm, delicious.

[Sanctjud]

Phantom hunter, not eyeless sight :3

[jonconcarne]

Phantom hunter, not eyeless sight :3

ooo, what else would be cool would be some kind of built in deceleration or phantasm. -5 range to ranged attacks targetting them, or +2 ARM vs. ranged and magic attacks... mmmmmmmm, i like that too.

[SjoerdH]

I am willing to bet that one of our solos will go epic (anyone remember E.alixea?)

Forget about kraken en Graspy3 and new warcaster and all.

Just give us eTartarus!

[various]

i'm just praying to Toruk that the Kraken works on the table, anything after that would just be a bonus. UA for Bane Knights would be pretty sweet though. Ranged Mechthralls mayn't work out, likely to be RAT4 (like Revenant Crew) and therefore unable to hit the broad side of a barn. Sure BileThralls are RAT3 but at least they can Purge by way of compensation. Wondering who the newbie 'Caster will be?

[PG_Neldar]

Kraken
Gaspy3
New warcaster (I hope Malathrax)
Assassin thing that attacked Nemo and Haley in Wrath.
Character crab jack
Bane cavalry.

[2LiveIs2Die]

I want to have zero total releases with bane in the title.

[Harvester]

I hope we get the assassin solo that tried to kill Nemo in wrath:-) could look like he is Jack Marshall too.. A Bane Ua/Wa could be cool too.. Guess it should be Kortesh or Suneater since, beside Tartarus, they are the only character bane there is as I recall

[zyxx]

Forget about kraken en Graspy3 and new warcaster and all.

Just give us eTartarus!

i would love to see Tartarus on a mount... bringing the bane cav we hall been patiently waiting for... Cygnar is getting ranger cav... wheres our bane cav!!!

[Adurot]

For a Bane Knight UA, I want him to have Backswing, Dark Shroud, and a mini feat of Phantom Hunter for the unit. The BS and DS are so you have an Officer leading from the front, unlike most UAs you keep as far back as possible so you don't lose their Granted buffs.

[ZombieWar]

a bloodgorger UA that gives pathfinder would be win. I dont think a bane knight UA should give dark shroud.

[jackbnimble218]

i would love to see Tartarus on a mount... bringing the bane cav we hall been patiently waiting for... Cygnar is getting ranger cav... wheres our bane cav!!!

Not sure if you were joking or not, but there is ZERO confirmation on cygnar ranger cav. It's just hopes and dreams with a dash of wild speculation.

Nobody knows of any new releases other than a new caster and collossal.

[Kuwanger23]

Heavy Cav bane unit

Bane knight UA

Crab jack character

That's all I need to be happy.
