Is this a new thing? I just noticed in War Room... Not the best unit ever ever, but i brought them cheap like a year ago, knowing i would probably never use them. They are not awful with Grim 2 for example since it seems they can be FF with a new functionality in war room too...

Kriel Company allowed the inclusion of any one Minion solo or unit since it was released.

I can not find anything about this in the rules in War Room. I also can not include any other minions than Boomhowler and DB&B. there is also a "select friendly cards" interface at the top of the armylist where i can select DB&B as "friendly". not really sure what it means. Has this been the case all along? seems weird i have not seen it until now unless it is new... |

Exciting news? Or just awful bugs? Not sure... Especially if it is Boomhowlers since they are so damned awful...
EDIT: the gunnbjorn-boomhowler thing does not work for me. Except in KC, but they are allowed there with any caster...

Except in KC, but they are allowed there with any caster... Probably bugs but I don't think boomhowler are awful. IMO better than Highwaymen with certain casters in KC but I also typically just watch them die and do not do much unsupported. At least Boomhowler can fight better in melee and take the krielstone buff better than highwaymen. Like I said though, I have never seen highwaymen do anything worthwhile so I could just be horribly wrong  |

It is in the release notes for war room now. apparently this is the way you will add mercs/minions to themes. It seems like gravediggers (was tested with a full complement of mercs) will be allowed to take 1 unit and 1 solo as expected, but it seems that the old themes were not given access to mercs/minions yet (havent checked all, but no troll or cygnar themes anyway). KC seems to be an exception since it can now include DB&B. Unfortunately, they do NOT become Friendly faction by default, so i guess ill never be playing minions still...

I'm gonna be annoyed if none of the Troll themes get updated to allow mercs/minions.

I'm gonna be annoyed if none of the Troll themes get updated to allow mercs/minions. it is very possible that the addition of mercs to themes will not happen right now. the trencher and NK themes (as well as some of the ones released in insiders) was built with the inclusion of mercs in mind. It is very possible that the already existing themes will have to wait for mercs to be added... |
