New IF solo is pretty lame. If it was non-character FA2 I could see some utility. But let's assume I'm wrong. Yay! We got a shiny new IF solo for our IF theme! But wait... Mercs get new theme where gun mages get sniper and you can take a Cygnar unit. That means up to 13 models with sniper. Shooting Iron Fangs. WTF PP?

The New Haley Nerf is pretty lame. If it was like "20 Models get effected" I could see some utility.
I mean an Iron Fang Unit has at least 10 people! And Im supposed to stop them all with my feat?
WTF PP?
Sarcasm aside, you have strangely incomparable things, and just sorta directionless complaint with no focus and a clickbait name.

I recently saw a level of silly from the khadoran forums which I dubbed "sniping trencher mechaniks level of silly" You have exceeded "sniping trencher mechaniks"

It's an elaborate scheme to buff Cygnar. Sniper theme forces you to play lower model count multibox models. Boom, Haley2 is now good again.

Please don't make threads like this. Or if you do, at least have some kind of substance to what you post.

WTF PP? Sarcasm aside, you have strangely incomparable things, and just sorta directionless complaint with no focus and a clickbait name. Your Comments make no sense. These are very comparable things. Mercs got a new theme that gives them access to more snipers than Khador can field, which was always kind of our thing. That aside, it's a direct RPS matchup against what should be a fairly common merc build. And it's not exactly like LoS is dominating the competitive scene right now. But even more than that the point is that Khador got one crappy, unimaginative solo and even mercs got something pretty cool. How many rat4, indirect AOEs and boring combat models does a faction need? We already have Manhunters for gods sake.

Boring Combat solo?
Shes a weird denial solo that also buffs our stuff and comboes with other stuff we have. Also shield Guard. Shes really the best possible type of combat solo, thsts also support and defense.
Sure sniping gunmages are hot, but you cut out so much information and zero in on contextless stuff.

Yeah, PP hates Khador. That's why they got so little attention in the transition to mk3.

It's true. PP hates Khador. These are just facts
But especially they hate Khador so much that they'll hand out Counter Charging 0 point garbage models with Inhuman Resolve, Righteous Vengeance, Weaponmaster on 2 seperate weapons and Precision Strike in a theme that gives easy access to immunity to Knock Down and Tactician.
Quality Unplayable Trash, please trade for Sniped Trencher Mechanics

I was the one that started the sniping Trencher Mechanik silliness. I think you missed the point. The point was that you have a support unit that has almost as much combat prowess as our dedicated sniper unit that's supposed to be the absolute best at their niche. If you put snipe on the dug in Trencher mechaniks then they shoot as far as our snipers while also having a wheelbarrow full of other special rules. I'm not saying that this is the best use of snipe all game but towards the end game, it would be nice to have a small (probably ignored) unit that can go toe to toe with dedicated snipers. To me the Trencher mechaniks are a bit like MKII character units with three models and a lot of special rules. They are not unique so multiples of them can be taken if desired. They seem to be a Swiss Army knife unit where they have a nice special rule that covers them that turn. If against infantry and/or AOE weapons they can dig in and be a real pain in the neck. They can be parked B2B with a Grenadier and help him shoot three times a turn. ( The nicest part of this is since they have the mechanik description they can be taken in any theme!) if they are going up against jacks or battle engines they have sabotage. They have a better RAT than any of our models outside of dedicated snipers. Oh, and by the way, they can also repair a damaged jack. Maybe not as well as our Mechanics but our Mechanics don't have any fancy rules, no ranged attack, and hit with same POW as Trencher mechaniks. So yes, I'm quite a bit envious.
