Half the stuff won't work because 99% of the spells are Friendly Faction nowadays. Like Last Stand. Bring Valachev. Problem solved. Would be shocked if they don't allow the ranking officer to come. Worth an ask though........(edit) and it was....

On reflection - while the Press Gangers are glorious the far better option is going to be Alexia1+ Valachev. Alexia is prepared to run out of formation (or be a super duper solo) so you can last stand on the risen. You now get to fuel things when the IFP goes in. IN addition Saxon will go in as a solo because that solves the biggest issue for this list (lack of pathfinder). You will drop, in all likelihood, drop the vanilla Fangs to add in that module and then go ahead and put in Jacks to round out.
It is going to wreck absolute face.

Brun and Lug for more counter charging under Legions of Steel. Inquiring minds want to know if you do that would it make sense to just lose the Uhlans and go for the slow but steady murderate play.

I keep thinking of Sorscha I with hutchuck to set up a knock down on feat turn, ambushing from the side. As for stealth removal…seage crawler for one point less than the spriggan. There is no way this will stand as written.

First of, relax guys, its still CID.
Second, look at the new Troll Northkin models at the last page you will find a Solo that works for every faction that has Magic Ability 7 with Puppet master, Hexblast and Bone shaker for 4 Points. Also after a spell it teleports 5" and has a way to boost his spell.
I think we can all agree that every list will feature a Merc solo of some kind. Which one it is depends on the list. This will allow the lists to stay on maximum efficency.
After that its a case to case for "bigger" inclusions. A&H&V against GF for WG-Theme, Siege Crawler for S1, Alexia1 or any other Unit for Strakov2. A thing to note is, that a) that greatly helps our GF Matchup while it doesn't improve theirs and b) that it will almost always cost as a free Solo so we still have to think about if its worth it.
A really big thing is the Kayazy, which is something that I don't see beeing kept but till then. Butcher3 with Rifles AND Eleminators will have a much easier time against GF.

I like this a lot. WGK with Alexia1 is literally my most wanted list right now to the point of not wanting to play a theme.
What I think are the big points: - WGK can take Kayazi and have a dedicated melee unit - fangs can take Nyss and have a dedicated shooting unit - the sniper corps of Kell, Marksman and Widowmakers can be assembled in WGK or LoS - Z1 fangs can take Ragman and melt armor - themed jackspam can take Orin, disrupt Eyris or grievous Ashley to improve opposing control, jackspam or beastspam matchups - A&H or Alexia2 makes easier to tech against Ghost fleet

I've heard that "themes are how PP wants people to play the game now". This seems to support that idea.

I've heard that "themes are how PP wants people to play the game now". This seems to support that idea. Themes are the future. What better way to increase new model count by added mini factions. Let's face it, PP make money by making new things to sell. But it must be so unwieldy trying to add 5-6 models or units per faction per year. When you consider exactly how many models are in Khador alone. It's huge. Only problem is, more themes means less mercs and minions. Whereas I might have bought Saxon in MKII, would I buy him in a theme based game? Probably not. This allows themes to bring in mercs1 Bendigedig! But I can see room for abuse, that will have to be stopped.

New little bit.
Legion of steel only states small based solo. So free small based mercs.
Jaws is non character solo. So no where near as good. But we can get a free Tinker or a free Bokur.

If Mercs can be taken in the "free" slots, then perhaps they will need to change the language to be more restrictive? Else this might allow taking 7+ point Merc solos where the theme was originally only designed to allow free 4 point solos or something.

They should change them to say free faction solo.
Otherwise I'm going to love having a free Bokur in jaws.

Some clarity as it stands: is it one of each (unit, BE, solo) or "pick one thing"?
