+1. The thing that helps the game is when you have faction vs. faction balance so that we get new players (and new factions) so that every game is new. Personal experience - with a number of folks gone to L&L I decided that cleaning the garage would be more fun than same old same old at the FLGS on Saturday. That can't be a good sign ;-( Don't worry, I'll be back in San Diego sometime in the next two months to kick some hornets nests with not-Ghostfleet - I'll let you know  (Unfortunately my beloved Mortenabra was nuked from high orbit so I have to do different things) |

Was Mortenabra1 nerfed in some way? I have a Morty1 Jack army as a side project and when I read comments like what you just made I wonder what happened. |

Was Mortenabra1 nerfed in some way? I have a Morty1 Jack army as a side project and when I read comments like what you just made I wonder what happened. She works okay, but it's nothing like Mk2. She's only improved during the course of Mk3, but she lost a lot between editions. The bottom line version is that she predated on the Mk2 infantry meta, and now her ability to do that is worse (and the lists are less common), and the meta has a lot more high ARM / boxes which she was already weak against - and she didn't get anything to help her with that (arguably she got worse because she lost Void Gate as a control element - I must have shut down too many colossals for entire games and word got back to PP). You just can't really play her the same way. |

You just can't really play her the same way. OK, phew... I was worried I missed something. Yeah, her tier army back in Mk2 was nice. I had collected a lot of miniatures to make a Tier4, but hadn't gotten too far before the change to Mk3. Morty1 and Harrowers were ~crazy~ good, and the cheap Slayers were nice also. I also had a pile of Scrap Thralls painted that came in really handy. Not too long ago I played a goof-off game with her, out of theme, that went better than expected. That Harrower went from "oh, let's see what this can do in Mk3," to "Daddy likes!" The list wasn't optimized, and it wasn't in theme, but I liked Morty's potential in Infernal Machines. The Harrower (and maybe even Malice) almost become self-sustaining murder machines in infantry-thick environments. I'm going to have to toy around with Morty1 in Infernal machines and see what I can come up with for a list. |

Feel free to take it over to the Cryx subforum, I enjoy spitballing about non-ghostfleet lists. Pretty much anything to make Mortenabra work at this point...
