Galleon Spoilers

[PG_The Captain]

Are you mad man? A walking ship? Get all Time Bandits on its *** and plonk a small boat of its head to push the point even more.

My first theory was correct. Galleon is the Calamitas transformed into robot mode.

[Joasht]

Its an Orkish Lugnut. I cannot not love it!

I'm a bit confused though; I thought the initial rumors way back when said that even the Rhulic Warcasters can take it...but that doesn't seem to be the case. Can anyone confirm this?

No rumors I have ever heard said that Rhulics will be able to take it, what you heard was probably someone's wishful thinking.

I think all rumors I heard specifically said "not for Rhulics".

Are you mad man?

Umm... Cannonball???

Dude?
Buddy?
Homey?
Pal?


You do realize to whom you ask that question to, yes?

[Mael]

So I was thinking about Galleon and pMagnus...

1. Free upkeeps. Tier list. Ahem.
2. Iron Aggression & 120mm reach thresher. I don't think I need to say anything else.
3. Snipe + 2d3 shots AND a harpoon gun. Knock something down with a renegade, pow pow pow!
4. Snipe + Drag to pull enemy models 14" into melee for a pounding.

Add PoW 19

Also with the pMagnus Tier, at T3 you can add a 120mm wreck marker. Not bad if you want to try and funnel a approach.

Totally forgot about this! That makes me excited. I just need some pathfinder units now.

[Bartacus]

Yup, shame your choice is Idrians or Croes....

Ahahahahaha that is hilarious and awesome. I want to see Privateer Press (eventually) release sculpted colossal wreck markers.


Remember: Piper or Saxon for Pathfinder!

With either Magnus abuse of drag for backstab. With prime it's good with Epic it could be really nasty.

Can't take the Piper in Mags1's theme force....

AP back stab = dead what ever it was!!

[cannonball]

Yup, shame your choice is Idrians or Croes....

With access to Snipe and the UA, Idrians are pretty handy. Also Kell will like the Huge marker to prowl in for a while. That said Magnus could see himself recasting Snipe on the first/second turn to try and pull off the Galleon/Idrian Snipe double.

Umm... Cannonball???Dude?Buddy?Homey?Pal?You do realize to whom you ask that question to, yes?

Alas a slip from myside I'm afraid. I couldn't restrain myself with how good the Galleon will be. I'll thrash myself with wet noodles immediately.

[Bartacus]

I'll be honest I don't actually own Idrian's and so my (rather flippant) comment was going on theory-machining rather than experience. That said I don't generally like min units and 13 pts for the max unit plus UA would generally put Croes ahead of them for me, certainly against a Hordes list.

Keep in mind you automatically get a wreck marker with each colossal. So use the one that comes with Galleon and know you will never need it to mark your own Galleon :-P

[Cannibalbob]

I think Galleon looks OK. It is a model that I can certainly convert to match my tastes. At least the rules add something to the faction and are pretty good. PP really pissed hard in my cheerios with the rules for the Mountain King after previewing such a fantastic model...

[lastspartacus]

Can only prowl in concealment, not cover. Just sayin.

[Tavitin]

I can't wait to buy my Galleon!

Then proceed to buying three pairs of TRIARCH STALKER FRONT LEGS and a TRIARCH STALKER CHASSIS and put them instead of those terrible terrible legs.

Its gonna look badass though, i'll call it Poseidon!

I was thinking of adding this somewhere on the hull.

[Robert Shepherd]

I would just like to say that I just played a game with the MacBain list (swapping Gorman and Ragman for Aiyanna and Holt, and bigods am I glad I did), where the Galleon ended the game mostly intact, sitting in the wreckage of thirty points worth of Menite heavies.

Feels good

[OMM_Lukav]

I'm not going to lie, I plan to totally steal this idea...especially if I go with 2 Galleon's like I plan to. I never really wanted to do a pirate theme, but it is not only looking good but also I think we can field a competitive list now.

[Mael]

Wait a minute.. they come with Wreck Markers?

[OMM_Lukav]

Wait a minute.. they come with Wreck Markers?

Yes, it was revealed a while back in a Insider and as my buddy now has one of each of the released colossals (Stormwall, Conquest, Kraken), I can verify they each came with said marker.

[Terraneaux]

I wonder if Fiona's gonna like this thing at all...

[PG_The Captain]

I wonder if Fiona's gonna like this thing at all...

She tends to have lots of other uses for her focus, but if the opportunity arises, Nonokrion Brand on this baby (+MacNaile buffs unless you need him more in one of your other lists) makes a lot of things think veeeeery carefully where they wander.

[PG_Enazel]

I thinking of using the colassal with fiona, big base to hide her behind, using Arcnode spell on something else, to keep her safe and throw spells out.

[baronvonchaos]

THAT IS COOOOOL! I was wondering if I could find a model that looked like a statue adn place it I figured I'd have to make the ship pieces out of styrene or something crazy like that, but this is sweet!

[PG_LunarSol]

I kind of want to get some Cygnar Mechanik Bodgers to set on and around the guy.

[OMM_Lukav]

I get the feeling this guy is going to be one of the most customized colossals out there...for good reason.

[Cannibalbob]

I own that model and have been trying to think of something to do with it. I may just steal your idea.

Honestly, after everyone saying it looks like a ship I really don't see that. The only ship feature I see are the cannon ports. Other than that it looks more like dock-side equipment than a ship. But, it would be fun to shipify the model so that it does look like a ship!

A&H are a must with it in any list without Fiona or Durgen, just so you can drag Menite jacks.

As my experience with Menoth is very slim, why is this true?

[Cannibalbob]

Not sure I would dump the Ragman from a list with Galleon in it. He seems made to work with a base that big.

[Kenlen]

As my experience with Menoth is very slim, why is this true?

I'm guessing because of the Choir? The song that only allow ranged attacks that are magical.

Indeed. Durgen, Fiona, and Aiyanna are our only sources for magical weapons on demand.

*cough-cough* Kell *cough-cough*

[Stuh42l]

*cough-cough* Kell *cough-cough*

I think they were talking about being able to hand it out. Kell doesn't like to share.

[DocMerc]

I think all the talk of ship-ifying the gallion is interesting. I plan on DE-ship-ifying mine.
I want to make it more Steelhead...
