Sensible themes that you never expect to get.

[gaminguy]

Let me come right out and say this first: I want Skorne Construct Beasts.

Skorne has been in the west for a while now tangling with Circle, we've seen that it can be done, we have a head start on the techniques from working with AGs, we have a warlock who can transfer to AGs already, we even have some pretty solid incentive to explore the idea with the Titan Plague from the Forces of Skorne book and Rasheth standing to control the beast supply. It almost requires a bigger suspension of disbelief to buy that Zaal or Hexeris doesn't have someone working on this than buying the Transfer and Leaching mechanics in the first place.

If Gargantuans has Makeda3, Mammoth, and four Construct beasts (2 heavy, 2 light) with low DEF and FUR and high ARM, box count, and P+S for a Skorne beast and special rules that forbid Beast Handlers from effecting them (and maybe some shenenegany soul collecting goodness) I would jump up and down squeeling like a little girl.

What's on your wish list of things that make thematic sense?

[PG_ForsakenPoptart]

Trollblood heavies with some serious armor. Come on, guys, you've got to know that sending Maulers into battle with just a loincloth and a bagged lunch won't always work! I'd really like to see a character mauler with plate armor and a two-handed hammer. He'd specialize, in the fluff, in knocking down walls and big doors. In game, he could have a very powerful crit slam with the hammer, maybe thresher. I say character because having multiples of this guy would be kinda dumb.

[PhoenixBlaze]

I'll second the armoured Trolls thing!

I'm tired of elemental trolls, give them weapons and armour! I'd kill to see a Troll carrying two Long Gunner's rifles or a Diretroll who's taken apart a Khador Demolisher and made itself into a slamming machine! City Trollkin is always something I've wanted to see. Similar to Boomhowler's boys but I suppose now that they can be in-faction in certain lists they sort of fill that gap for me.

For Retribution, Soulless, units of Soulless, Soulless casters! I'd also squeel like a school girl if those new razorblade mage hunters are soulless. Oh yes.

[DrunkenDemon]

I like the thought of armored trolls.

But at the moment I want to see Trollkin Heavies made out of insane Runeshapers!
A tiny head with ragefilled eyes inside a golemlike juggernaut build form runeinscirbed rocks. (ok it sounds like the circle warpwolves or that one Legion lock but it is as plausible as the giant AG-Beast-Constructs (i do like the idea) )

[MediumYellow]

The great thing about these threads is that it is obvious that Privateer Press is going to have a decade or two before the run out of stuff to do.

This game is going to be nuts a few years from now when ever faction has so much stuff. (Like character collosals in 2015)

[agent red]

Heavy Shredder, sort of a meat version of the basher. That or a character lesser with the ability to trample and slam as if it were a heavy.

[solkan]

Female models wearing sensible footwear, especially if they move more than SPD 6.

That'll never happen.

[Syas]

Pyg Warlock
Tuffalo Warlock

[bouncymischa]

What's on your wish list of things that make thematic sense?

I still want a Retribution artificer solo who commands a small group of floating arcanika drones. Something like Circle's Woldstalkers.

That, or a Darius-style Retribution warcaster in arcanika powered armor!

[Mastershake]

Or, let's be real crazy here, a Mage Hunter who does reconnasaince for the Dawnguard and hence hands out Pathfinder. I know, really off the wall and not at all justified by fluff, but I think if PP really works at it....

[sleet01]

Medium-base, high-ARM construct troops for Cygnar. I mean, it's possible to make giant bipedal tanks that can fire two cannons, two chainguns, and a heavy electrical probe every few seconds without falling over, or a tiny robot that can psychically enhance people's brain power, but it's beyond the realm of imagination to split the difference and make a unit of cheap automatons that march forward and hold up shields and pikes to prevent enemy troops from swamping those other two things?

[MagnustheJust]

Medium based, high armoured Mercenary unit...

[profparm]

Female models wearing sensible footwear, especially if they move more than SPD 6.

I don't know what you're talking about; my pSorscha is wearing uggboots. Then again, those boots are made for wind rushing, and that's just what they'll do....

[MidnightFox0083]

Medium based, high armoured Steelhead unit...

Cause I know that's what you meant to say.

[PG_Electric Seal]

Female models wearing sensible footwear, especially if they move more than SPD 6.

That'll never happen.

Man, you see that chick over there, she's looking sensible. I'd like to get reasonable with her, if you know what I mean.

P.S. Kayazy Eliminators don't have heels.

[MidnightFox0083]

Well, I never!

You, sir, are indeed a cad!

[Luthon]

Paladin units or Paladin warcaster I know us PoM players would leap for joy for that.

[Chip]

Houseguard Officers that work like Kovnik Grigorovich!

My truly out there wish for the Retribution is an Iosan Beastmaster (kinda like Dahlia) who herds a pack of baby Thrullg to take out filthy human Mechanika!

Oh, and mercenary Lesser Warcasters, like the lesser Warlocks!

[legionaires]

*Wipes dust of the list*
Skorne Warhounds lead by a Paingiver (so its a paingiver unit) that is similar to Woldstalkers
Genzoul (Skorne zombies)
Cataphact Beetles (lesser warbeast) with a quicksand/immobilizing animus
Desert Hydra (Huge or Large Base Warbeast)
Mortitherge (magic special action) solo/unit/character unit
Beast Handler UA/Solo with Herding or Beastmaster
Lesser Warlock Solo
Venator Warlock

[Jake the Dog]

Greylord Calvary.....oh wait....


Serious: Wardog unit, yes I want to have a pack of them.

[MagnustheJust]

Cause I know that's what you meant to say.

No. I meant what I said.

Steelheads need either a UA for the Halbies - one of the oldest units in the game without one. Failing that, a field officer, something akin to the Skron's Tyrant & standard bearer.

[viperidae99]

Skorne small-based Weapon Masters (preferably of the Paingiver persuasion). In fact, I'd settle for more Paingiver types in general.

[quindraco]

BEARS. 10 chars.

[Vicomte Athos]

Rules so I can put this on the table:



Though I will settle for the Beast of Gevaudan as a character heavy for Circle.

[Rogue Sun]

I want an Iosan unit that hunts mages with cross bows that shoot bolts straight through walls, trees, people, etc. Oh, and those bows that shoot bolts which phase in and out of reality, yeah they would be magical, since, you know, they PHASE IN AND OUT OF REALITY.

<---Not bitter.

[The Horror]

Things I want in Cryx that I might get:
Ranking Officer
Warcaster Jack bond
Engine of Destruction
More Corrosion based models. (we're the corrosion faction yet we have 1 corrosion unit)

Things I want in Cryx that I'll never get:
A non-mercenary ranged unit with a range over 8 that doesn't have to commit suicide to hit
Shooting based warcaster
Snipe

What about revenant crew? Both the base unit (due to the WA) and the artillery have range > 8.

I only brought those up to mess with you, I get what you mean.

[leo_neil316]

Female models wearing sensible footwear, especially if they move more than SPD 6.

That'll never happen.

Take a close look at the cygnar rangers sometime.

[Pseudog]

To OP, I'd be interested in having a heavy base AG warbeast. It might be somewhat cool if there were three ancient warriors of legend melded into it, each one being in control of one aspect of the beast...

And for Cryx I once even did some sort of homebrew thing for undead mechanized wolves with one living packmaster controlling them. If Cryx is all for causing terror and using expendable resources... then why not?

[The Buoyancy of Water]

Some sort of ARM buff outside a feat for Khador. So we can play as a heavy armour faction

Although the third Vlad and Harkevich have certainly helped bring more of our high ARM models into line with the pansy high DEF infantry we have...

Cheers,
Dave

[2LiveIs2Die]

Cryx:

Real in faction guns or a ranking officer.
A helljack that isn't 12 points with good arm/ grid.

[Gavriel]

For the love of God, GIVE US MORE PALADINS OF THE ORDER OF THE WALL!

[Wishing]

Heavy Shredder, sort of a meat version of the basher.

A Shredder Queen of some sort, probably medium based, with abilties to enhance the shredder swarm theme - I'd love that, and I hope it is inevitable some day.

[gaminguy]

Skorne small-based Weapon Masters (preferably of the Paingiver persuasion). In fact, I'd settle for more Paingiver types in general.

Given the option I'd rather have a Construct buffer (I like constructs ); getting the AGs/Immortals up to P+S 15 on demand would solve a lot of their issues.

[viperidae99]

The Immortals could definitely use something, and I'm sure the AGs wouldn't mind. But if P+S 12+ Weaponmaster Paingivers appeared, I'm sure you wouldn't say no...

In Skorne they'd probably only get WM against living beasts. :P

I suspect they'd be praetorans rather than paingivers, and we do kinda have single wound Weapon Masters in the form of Pain Driven Slaughterhousers. But no, I wouldn't say no to WM pain givers.

[PG_Dino-Czar]

If Cygnar high command stapled an arc node to a Hunter, Charger, or Avenger I'd be stunned at how much sense that made. Heck, even a Grenadier or Minuteman would make total sense.

If trenchers, rather than bringing their own lack luster field artillery, stole the gun arms off Defenders, Grenadiers and Hunters it would be completely in keeping with the anything-in-a-pinch mentality of the poor bloody infantry.

If Long Gunners received any support what-so-****ing-ever I would fall over in shock. There are more men and women in service as long gunners than there are in any other branch of Cygnar service, and yet they haven't developed anything beyond flag technology to support themselves.

[Octavius_Maximus]

A Greylord/Old Witch themed model which makes crit effects happen on a far more likely chance. It would bring back in vogue pretty much everything in Khador which is on the verge of being good.

Such as:

Juggernaut
Field Gun
Bombadiers
Destroyers
(Conquest)

Also Moar Jack support please! outside of Caster.

Also, a pair of Solos, one menite and one Morrowan who both give good bonuses but cant both be in the same list.

EDIT:

Also, an Assault Kommando UA that gives Prey! Its all that they need to be an awesome unit.

[Lord Tyrant peers]

*Wipes dust of the list*
Skorne Warhounds lead by a Paingiver (so its a paingiver unit) that is similar to Woldstalkers
Genzoul (Skorne zombies)
Cataphact Beetles (lesser warbeast) with a quicksand/immobilizing animus
Desert Hydra (Huge or Large Base Warbeast)
Mortitherge (magic special action) solo/unit/character unit
Beast Handler UA/Solo with Herding or Beastmaster
Lesser Warlock Solo
Venator Warlock

Remove the venator warlock with a dedicate beast warlock that isnt p morghoul and i agree

[gaminguy]

Skorne is never going to get a real beast warlock so long as we have Beast Handlers. (Unless he's designed to work with the construct beasts that can't be affected by the PGs...).

I'd rather have a Venator warlock with some good buffs for our ranged game, but I've been asking for that since Primal Mk I so I'm not gonna hold my breath at this point.
