Mercs in themes now...woah.
How will this change your lists?
I will be looking at my bones of orboros lists and seeing if there are any worth while substitutions? Hutchuck anyone for rust to make wolds +4 pow with Mohsar and tanith? Bokors? Brigands? I see a lot of potential with this!
That new Mec/Minion solo...wow. I don't see him keeping all those spells at 4 points but if he loses hex blast or bone shaker Ill take him for puppet master on a stick! Loki will finally hit for me now that I have rerolls! (yeah my dice are that bad with him...)
This is a big deal for us In my opinion. There are a lot of opportunities for list building now and hopefully we will get some better themes in the future to really take advantage of this new ruling.
Do you think this will improve Tharn theme or the Wild Hunt?

No more 74 point theme lists! And yeah, Eilish Garrity = the new Eiryss? I can think of so many uses for him/her... Pretty cool. And depending on how L&L turns out there might be a Holden on the horizon.
Seeing how many models are added when a theme force goes in to CID makes me pretty excited for our turn.

I am also excited to see what we get when tharn theme gets expanded on (pretty sure that will be our first theme to go through cid based on the female tharn in the most recent no quarter). Wonder what the caster would be? I don't see kromac3 this quickly after kromac2. Morvhana3 would make sense since she is primarily an infantry caster and is widely seen as the savior of the tharn.

Just going to throw out my list of what I'd be taking in Circle for free with the merc/minion change
- Hutchuk because 6pts always felt pretty steep but free is just right
- totem hunter because he's the freaking totem hunter
- Lanyssa in themes that don't allow the black clad
- Gobber chef and play living beast lists under Wolfsworn or tharn theme for tracker or snacking. Won't be free but 1 pt is just fine.
- Gator man witch doc for ... never mind
- Bokur for shield guard (finally a cheap option in themes for shield guard)
- Alten Ashley. Increased to 6pts because he was too good and now he's free ... seems right.
Units
- Gobbers for clouds
- Bone grinders for souls
- Farrow slaughter housers for our only pseudo weapon master option
- Bokor and shamblers in wolfsworn theme to use all of those corpse tokens generated.
Battle engines
- I'm not a fan of either of them
That's how I see it shaking out for good options. Some are alot more compelling than others but lets see what people can come up with. Circle isn't one of the factions that makes the best use of this rule but we do at least get some benefit.

Hmm free bokors seems like it could get pretty funny. I agree though, our choices for abusing this are limited to none. Its the other factions we have to worry about  I still like the idea of bone grinders in theme craft talisman on our casters is almost always worth taking them. |

Do you think including hutchhuck (can't spell) in forces that already have a damage buff will ease the khador matchup? I could see mulching arm 20/18/16 jacks with a Mohsar/Tannith/Wurmwood gunline.

Im already looking to work him in over my second blackclad in my Mohsar list in Bones and currently am debating doing the same for tanith and the Baldurs. Effectively Pow 16 Woldwyrds at range or getting Wardens to effectively Pow 20 is huge. Im currently testing out Ellish though for CiD but hopefully Ill get some games with Hutchuck soon! Also, Krueger 2 loves him already as you can set up rust to hit multiple jacks with TK and might even justify playing Krueger in Bones to get a bunch of speel slinging wold wardens in a list and go to town. |

Also, WrongEye in theme can be interesting.

How are we at the moment? They can't be taken as free choices, right?
