    Default Canon of the True Law - Protectorate Tactics Compilation

    A Collection of Tactica for
    MK II Protectorate of Menoth

    Please keep posting to this thread to a minimum. If you think that it's missing something, send me a PM me and I'll add it. I'll be updating it with articles as I see them as well.

    If you'd like to write an article similar to the one's written by
    Hysteresis or Myself please feel free but try and maintain the same format. Also, if we can avoid doubling up on casters, that would help keep confusion to a minimum and give us the best coverage possible.

    One last thing, I will avoid posting articles along the vein of "Silent Bob Sucks in MK II, why should I ever play him?". I'm looking to add articles that make meaningful contributions to the Protectorate forums.

    I'd like to thank JamesDiGriz for the format for this post. His excellent
    Boot Camp post has been a wonderful inspiration. My hat is off to you, sir!

    One of the funny parts to me is reading back-to-back reports on a given model about how broken it is and then about how it's not worth anywhere near its cost.

    Dirty Menites... In my base stealing my fourms!
    Good work, glad to see this spreading around. I would rather lose a close game than win a blow out. Go forth learn your army... I am looking for epic battles (and information on how you all play).

    Librarian of Cygnar out.

    Hello!

    I would like for Dicegod's Strength of Arms post about Epic Kreoss to be included for Kreoss. It records a good amount of experience using the warcaster in varied conditions.


    - Thanks for all the great work!

    This is just a quick update as of 5/7/10. I haven't forgotten about the Canon, I've just been a little swamped with several projects and innumerable finals for my Computer Engineering major. I'll update this with all the wonderful new posts ASAP.

    As a reminder, please feel free to PM me with any topics (from the new OR old forums) that you feel would be a valuable contribution.

    Thanks and happy gaming.

    I know there are several to be written but I am curious to the thoughts of reclamers there is several mentions through out the other tacticas about them and there uses with that specific unit.

    I just wanted to say this is an amazing collection of material. I feel like this should be printed out as a PoM handbook and every Menite forced to sleep with it under their pillow
    If you're a brand new Menite please read this thread before posting: http://privateerpressforums.com/show...-the-battlebox

    I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all the people that put work in on this topics. I am a new player to Warmachine, with PoM being my first army and these articles have helped me out tremendously in learning all the different units and what they can do. I appreciate all the work that you guys have but into these articles.

    I'm going to add my thanks

    Just going to add what I have learned from this forum in my first month back.

    2) Focus efficiency is almost as important as activation timing. (Again, I learned this through playing, but it's very important.)

    3) In order to have good support, you must remember to take something to support

    4) Each choir member can support a 'jack each.

    5) Vanquishers have a FA of 2, cost 10 points and come with a free vassal.

    6) Camping on Focus can be good sometimes.

    7) You don't have to charge in to maximise damage. Against low def, high arm, it's usually better to walk into combat.

    8) Setting things on fire is the best way to deal with high Def. troopers. Blasts will deal with stealth.

    9) The Avatar of Menoth actually is quite good.

    10) Don't initially buy to get into a theme. Buy for variety and try the troops out.


    These aren't the only things I have, or will learn, but I thought a summary would help some people.

    Thanks to everyone who provided these pointers.
    They are rules of thumb, aside from the first two, which are that important.
