    Default Impatient!

    it is cruel unusual to hand out a preview for trolls and skorne, and then another one for trolls, before getting to circle and legion!

    can we get someone to at least tell us when we can expect the previews? it's discouraging to see two previews in one day for other factions, and then each day that passes, nothing for ours

    Impatience is synonymous with Legion.

    Why do you think we're the assassination faction?

    Me: Who? The Chilean miners?
    Charbok: No, the Cinerators.

    I am quite enjoying the peace and quite between news of legion releases. Because you know the whining usually starts about a minute after a legion preview hits the gallery.

    Or the Final Rules are release

    I play "within" the rules, I don't use the rules as a weapon. Big freaking difference.

    alcahest, it's quite simple; it's all about the FoH book release order.

    I don't know. When the epic warlocks were released the only complaining done was by the other factions over how eThag totally dominated their warlocks.

    So, who thinks we'll ever get a UA with a mini-feat? I mean, of all the factions, we probably value mini-feats more... going for that one explosive turn. Dunno, I look at the Retribution UAs, their costs, then I compare them to our UAs, or honestly, almost any other UA in the game... and the mind boggles.
    Well, maybe not the Sentinels UA Well, it's great, but it might not work as well for a lot of other units.

    Here's to hoping.

    Hey, I'm glad we don't have anything coming out soon. I have a few models left to get for Cygnar and then I can move on to Legion again.

    This lull has allowed me to get other things in my life accomplished (something I rarely do) as well as paint. Goal: Fully painted by the Hordes Resurgence tournament.

    Everyone knows you always save the best for last.

    I am looking forward to my 6" spray Lesser Warbeast, though. That'll be siiiiiiiick.

    I'm just happy that our antics in Ios locked us 3rd place. I'd hate to have Circle's wait for their book.

    Good natured jabs aside, the release of the book only matters mostly for the new warlock. As we've seen with the Warmachine releases, PP can't afford to jam all the faction releases in near the army book, so they'll be spread out over that part of the year.

    I too want to see what the new Legion heavy is. As much as I'd love to get a "simple" beatstick heavy, Legion as a faction isn't really about that in its warbeasts. Still, I'm hoping that whatever we get is relatively cheap (i.e. 9 points,) and clobbertastic.
    Everything's eventual.

    We should periodically post into the Circle Forum reminding them as much.

    Just, you know, to promote community harmony.

    I don't think it wold detract from the 'theme', it could still be relatively fast and relatively vulnerable.

    I wonder if a Light that could be forced to gain Armor Piercing would go far enough to address our 'cheap beatstick'. It'd be close to the Angel without actually stepping on it's toes, and could reliably deliver one hard hit with a single spare fury after being forced to charge. Maybe it needs low MAT so that last fury is often tied up w/ boosting the 'to hit' roll.

    Non-Flier so it doesn't synergize w/ the Nyss Sorc, but I suppose that would leave the door open for some synergy w/ the Nephilim Soldier.

    Maybe similar stats to the Teraph with perhaps another point of ARM and a few more hit boxes.

    Perfect. Then in addition to having a nice useful Light Warbeast we'll have the option to gloat about our unique status of non-standard Armor Piercing Distrobution mid-game.

    I'm sold.

    I think if we can learn anything from legion fluff, it's patience.

    Thagrosh was very patient as his body tore itself apart because even though he was in agony, he knew he'd become something far superior to his present form if he just waited and had some patience.

    Only the best things come to those who wait

    I dunno, is it? My memory of things long past is shady, just going off what I seem to recall. Feel free to correct me

    Skorne finished first amongst the Hordes faction during Summer Rampage, so I think they should be getting theirs first.

    And Necra is right that the previews can be a mixed blessing. We actually had someone /ragequit because he didn't like the Razor Worm.

    C'est la vie.

    I just hope we actually get to see previews. It seemed like, last time with Metamorphosis, it took forever...

    And with Menoth, the previews always seem last too. I just have bad luck with my faction previews.
    Oddly enough, only those who can't beat my Legion call it broken...
    On the other hand, how along until Cygnar can field more Minions then Legion? -Vaildin

    Yeah, just saw that other Troll on the site...

    I'll guess it's because they're just too easy to paint? Ha ha.

    I am surprised we don't see more Skorne models to be honest.

    I wish someone from PP would pop in to just say "yeah we're doing things different you guys have to wait til the summer to get a glimpse of the models we want you to be excited about and buy"

    there's no reason to stagger the primal releases by faction like this

    Once again, they're saving the Best for Last.

    Unless they show Circle Last.

    Inwhich case, they're saving the Best for Second to Last.

    It's likely they're releasing the previews as soon as the mold is finished and the miniature painted. Speaking as someone in the injection molding industry, sometimes you run into unforeseen technical difficulties that delay production on new parts. I'd much rather they release them as they finish, personally. Even if I don't play trolls, it primes the excitement a bit to see some of the new things that are coming out.

    What my esteemed colleague, Mr. Hasten, meant to say is that:

    "As a member of the Injection Mold Industry, The Legion of Everblight is in my base, killing my d00ds. And they will be released at a later date, to reinforce the scientiffic fact that they (the party in the first; Privateer Press) are saving the best (alternatively: The Most Awesome) for last (or second to last, depending upon the release of Circle which, while awesome, fails in a comparative sense)."

    talquizar, performing not as well in Summer Rampage = later releases, later previews. That's life.
