New Karchev feat.

[<Archangel>]

I think whatever new Karchev cryx or khador gets new feat [if they wish to keep him 'jack centric] should be all friendly jacks in his control are allocated 3 focus, pretty sweet I would think, but what do you think or rather what would you like the new feat/spell loadout to be?

By the way if cryx gets him and hes better then the oldie I will start cryx just for him.

[Lord Tyrant]

Cryx won't get him, the fluff in Colossals is heavily setting up a big damn rescue moment in the next book. Plus, if the Gavin Kyle Files on him in NQ#42 is to be believed, he's more than capable of surviving anything those undead pansies can dish out.

[Jake the Dog]

So you want Nemo2's feat?

[<Archangel>]

So you want Nemo2's feat?

Yes! Yes I do.

[PG_ThatRickGuy]

I wouldn't be surprised if they really build on his rage angle. I can't wait to read the full colossals fluff, but from the excerpt, it sounds like he is going to have an increadible amount of hatred.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him with some sort of Ground Zero type feat, only for each Jack in his battle group/control.

Or all of his jacks cause terror and can immediately thresher.

Or some other type of seriously angry dude feat

I'm also hoping he comes on a 120mm base and causes terror to undead.

Oh, and a soul collector.

"Oh, and a soul collector."

A man can dream.

[thrasymacus]

If he's spent all this time with Deneghra I'd like to see him take one of her spells. Their punishment will be that they get his Feat.

Epic Karchev, now with Crippling Grasp!!

YAY!

[Revamp]

actually, if he does get a spell that says ground zero everywhere for his feat... i will love it. who needs a devastaor when you can turn every single jack into a horrible monster of killing, then run what infantry you have straight to the caster! you could just call it "Eruption of Rage!"

[The Buoyancy of Water]

you could just call it "Eruption of Rage!"

I prefer "Angry o'Clock"

[Kurb]

"This model collects soul tokens even from Undead"

Causing every warjack to have a ground zero would be pretty epic.

I seriously doubt he collects souls tho.

[Peg leg Pete]

tactical nuke: each jack in his control can make trample/slam attacks immediately and one of those jacks explodes in an AoE 4 with pow equal to its remaining hit boxes. :-p

[DoktorVivi]

I'd like something that harkens back to his Greylord roots. Maybe give an additional die on attack rolls for magic attacks and magical weapons in his control area and give all his jacks magical weapons. Makes Greylords and Doomreavers better (without making Doomreavers hit for ridiculous amount of die), makes his jacks better and makes himself actually be able to hit with any offensive spells he's got.

[Raktra]

I will fully endorse the mass Ground Zero Feat, IF PP decide to call it "World Breaker".

[Rampage_Starfire]

Good thought, but you guys are getting it wrong, Ground Zero Sux Mountain King Balls with Large Bases. instead Make it like this:

Cascade of Rage: This Model and each model in it's Battlegroup gains magic weapon on all melee weapons for 1 round. Warjacks in this models battlegroup may Charge, Slam or Trample without Spending Focus. When a Model in this model's Battlegroup End's it's movement, each model within 2" of it's base is Hit and suffers a POW equal to the Activated model's STR, and is Knocked down.

[OMM_Lukav]

The way his fluff reads, i wouldn't be shocked if it was a control area blast that hurts everyone, including Khador units. Hell the way his fluff reads, it will hurt him as well!

[thrasymacus]

The fluff is working in my favor. I've written a bit about a Karchev Character unit attachment, two medium based models with the 'man in the machine' rule. I'm leaning towards making them Karchevs Doctor and one other guy, his chief of staff maybe. Originally I wanted them to be the other two members of Karchev's Ternion that had been either exhumed or kept on ice all this time. I feel like the trauma that Karchev has gone through and his experience with Cryx and in particular Deneghra who straddles both sides of life and death, might unlock the mystery of why only Karchev has survived the 'man in the machine' procedure. I think that an Epic Karchev is a bit unlikely, but this character unit could give him a different playstyle with two 'almost' light jacks that added some utility like extending the area he could allocate focus, Healing and Repair etc.

Many of the threads this past month have had to do with or been hijacked by the idea that Khador keeps getting more of the same, that originality is somewhat lacking in our releases. I think Khador deserves to get some more mileage out of the Man in the Machine rule, once again giving us something unique, allowing us to field Light Jacks while still being true to the idea that we have lots of patriots and lots of crazy but not enough high grade cortexes.

[Havock]

I prefer "Angry o'Clock"

Oh would you look at the time!

[Cold-Iron]

Its hard to say what eKarchev will be. At L&L they showed of a 120mm "Heavy cavalry battle engine epic warlock" and Caster units. So whats not to say that he won't have a colossal body or be like Bethayne only he can leave is body to fight on autopilot and walk around incorporeal with extra spells or the power to posses warjacks? As for a feat he could give everything in his control area berserk or something like hyper aggressive. Although rage has always been Butchers stick. Of cores Butcher might have gotten therapy.

From the fluff of colossals I don't think Orsus will ever get therapy or rather therapy won't work.

[Raktra]

Feat: Screw you, I'm Karchev.
- Punch your opponent in the face.

[TarlSS]

This will never happen but...
Patriotic rage, karchev uses fury instead of focus rules. Each warjack in his battlegroup has 3 fury. Karchev has fury 7

[TarlSS]

Doublepost

[Frege]

I kind of would like a greylord roots angle but the mass ground zero is pretty cool too. I'll be interested if he is a jack, a Battle Engine or something else.

[StefDa]

Anything that both takes him back to his Greylord roots and still allows him to be 'jack centred.

[Gandalfrockman]

Did I miss a spoiler? are we getting epic karchev?
Or is this just a loony unconfirmed speculation thread?

Or Epic Collosal Warcaster Karchev ^^ Huge base caster

2x Fissure instead of the small cannons
Big gun the same as Konquest.

Mat 7 Rat 6

:P

[WiLDRAGE]

Feat: Unstoppable Force

Models in this model's battlegroup gain Unrelenting, Bulldoze and Overtake for one round. (A model with Unrelenting cannot be knocked down or made stationary and ignores any crippled systems or SPD reductions it may have).

This seems suitably violent and rage-like to me.
