    I'm pretty sure shae is going to like having a galleon available to mix up his theme a bit, i don't know why you don't care about the galleon. That is a new pirate jack, seems awesome to me, PP has already thrown pirates a giant bone as far as i'm concerned. Probably get rules on the galleon on friday, so exciting.

    No joke, Galleon will be a massive boost to pirate lists, who have always had difficulty with high ARM.

    This is assuming charging, and against a knocked down target with armor 20 (average d6 roll is a 3.5)
    Freebooter: 14+14=28 14+10.5=25 for a total damage of 13

    Collosals will be for large games. My lgs does not tend to do games larger than 50 points. I am currently making a 4 X 4 terrain table in my basement to play games at home while enjoying a few brewskies

    Shae +6
    Galleon 18
    Nomad 6
    Buc 3

    A&H 4
    Commodore 4
    5 solos 5
    Pressgang 6
    Seadogs + Walls 10

    50 pts, how are they for larger games? If he's 19 it'll be a little tougher, but mercs get all their jacks for cheaper, so well see

    Three revealed so far have been 19, gives me the feeling that every single colossal and gargantuan will be 19, like all battle engines are 9.

    Or they didn't want to hear the complaints from big factions that we got ours for less.
    Galleon is your answer, OP. Take it or leave it, that's the new pirate model.

    Do you realize what you have done?!? You have just given PP the name of Shae's character Freebooter!!

    I hope you are proud of yourself...

    Shh... Don't get the Elves worked up about that one again. I think they finally just got used to being screwed for no fair reason for the space cricket.

    The cricket is actually worth the extra point over the other BE's, don't tell anyone though. Besides the merc battle engine will be 8 =)

    I really want an ogrun boarding party or some other medium based unit. I don't care if it's a character unit that is 3 dudes. I just want some heavy hitting power to take down heavier targets without pitting jack against jack. Merc jacks are generally minutely weaker than Faction jacks (and that's okay, No contention there). I want a Medium based unit. Weaponmasters if I can swing it. 3 man is fine, but 3-5 man is even better.

    Galleon is super high on my list of crap to buy though

    Wouldn't that be fun Magnus can't you see him wearing a santa hat and carrying a big sack in which to stuff all naughty children which he will later use for ammo for his twohanded throws And ofcourse he will need immunity cold
    Lets call him TED SNOWFLAKE canadianone

    Incorrect - colossals are for regular sized games. This is NOT like Forgeworld or Apocalypse in 40k.

    An ogrun character unit wielding weapon master anchors looking like the mariner's with long chains and collars of turtle shells would be quite something, turtle neck and chain

    As for the name of the freebooter with the santa hat... Sandy Claws!

    Wish granted; see Agents of Jhord in the most recent No Quarter. Also per the LNL spoiler thread in here Galleon is PC 18 with a bunch of guns and a sexy harpoon.

    Confused: How is Shae taking High Shields Lakeforge Marines?
    Also:
    Galleon cannot be taken by Searforge.
    Most likely, won't be able to be taken by Taleon.

    Talion gets mercenary warjacks, galleon is a mercenary warjack, in addition, in what world would a GALLEON NOT WORK FOR PIRATES. sorry =)

    Pirates and Galleon?

    Shae doesn't seem to have much synergy with Galleon tbh. Coup is good, but colossals will tend towards the advance-while-firing I think. The rest is meh. He has the cannon and is happy with it.

    Bart on the other hand wants to take galleon home and make longboats.

    Fiona can put Brand on it.. meep.. hehehe.. Sweet, sweet addition to her box of dirty, dirty tricks..

    ...because it makes no sense for a bunch of guys scraping by and living on a ship to have the most advanced military vehicle yet designed..?

    Phantasm on Galleon. Veil of mists next to Galleon. Crazy large anti ranged denial. Just walk that noise up the field slowly laying out the pain

    Otherwise the big thing Galleon does for Shae is be Galleon. He's an expensive model that's really effective, meaty, and high damage. A Pirate's Life list has very little arm crushing options but Galleon brings that.

    While Shae's feat can't move the Galleon. It can let you move models out from behind the Galleon and still get charges.

    Oh and Commodore + Galleon. Cannonball something and drag it in. (I believe pushes work on KD targets) Or perhaps drag it in close enough to Spray.


    I also don't think your getting evil enough with Fiona. You don't put Brand on the Galleon. You put it on the unit of Long Gunners you have hiding behind Galleon!

    bart does more than scrape by. He has the 2nd most feared vessel on the entire sea.

    We also have 0 idea how the Galleon got funded. Who owns it? Are the willing to loan it out to certain people? Big big questions.

    Ooh, forgot about Phantasm.. Now that's tasty.. I rarely use the spell with Shae.

    And Fiona will have many tricks I'm sure. She always does. Now I'm tempted to get longgunners...

    The downside is I'm guessing release end of year?
