New CID cycle

The new CID cycle includes a large host of solos, new units, weapon attachments, command attachments, a structure, and even a new light jack ALL buffing the trencher infantry type for Cygnar. Also, they receive Siege2, who has Fury as a spell, and a new journeyman warcaster with Fire Group as a spell. Triumph, Siege's character jack, also gained a lot.

I count that the Trencher unit type now has 7 solos, 5 command attachments, 2 weapon attachments, and the structure which all synergize together. There are 5 different trencher units, and 3 trencher weapon crews. Outside of CID, Cygnar even has infantry that aren't trenchers, and solos and CA's and WA's for them too!

Now, unlike facebook, I'd like to avoid vitriol about other folks getting nice things, especially since this is CID information and nothing can be said about how strong the synergies will be once everything is finalized. Instead, I'd like to focus on how wonderful this would be should the same treatment be given to the other factions, and, dare I hope, ours. The numbers up above are staggering. Trenchers can be built in million different ways. If one had the inclination, he could load his trenchers with all the trimmings and end up forcing both players out of the regular game of warmachine and into the subgame of: "What Them There Trenchers Even Do?".

Which abilities are those trenchers loaded with? Is cigar smoking solo 1 nearby, cigar smoking solo 2? how bout tough looking solo 6? Are those even trenchers or are they the exact same looking version that's actually not trenchers? Even if I was a Cygnar player and I built the dang list, when asked what my trenchers do my eyes are just going to glass over. Honestly, though, if that question ever gets asked, the non-cygnar player automatically loses on death clock while the litany of abilities is recited.

I'm awfully curious, if a Cygnar player runs all min units for each infantry unit that has a CA, how many mini feats could they get off in one game? At least half a dozen, I think.

Seriously, though, the options. Just, the options. Even if 99% of the options are weak and unexciting, I would love to have those options. If any of our infantry types in Skorne were this fully fledged with solos, CA's, WA's and the like, I'd forsake my family to become a toy soldiers monk. It's like realizing that all along our faction has been a baby bird. And, you know how disgusting baby birds look, all scrawny, misshapen, and tattered. But, above us stands the Swan we will one day become, resplendent with glistening pinions and taught musculature.
