The THEMEPOCALYPSE is here! privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-09-29-2017“One big change is that all existing theme forces have been updated to allow some form of Mercenary or Minion options. Read these new rules carefully, though, because not all of the themes have the same restrictions for what can be taken. Some existing themes also saw changes to their available models and some of their benefits.”

My low as ball expectations were technically met. A new theme was added. But they also just nerfed 2 out of the existing 3 themes for legion. Joy. Ravens will still never see the table. Oracles will still be the only thing played and it will be worse than it was before. Awesome.

Any idea what the "dynamic update" models are? Or do they just mean the Haley2 nerf?

Is the designer of the cryxian themes living isolated away from all the others? Maybe he doesn't speak english? That's the only explanation I see looking at the huge difference between the power level of the cryxian themes' benefits and the rest of the factions.
Also, nerfs for lot of themes but Ghost Fleet is untouched?

I was really hoping they would include one more CoC theme. I'm pretty happy with the two we have, but I feel like they really forgot about our small based infantry. Plus, unlike a normal faction, there is a 0% chance that we'll ever see a third theme for our small bases.

I mean cmon! If Cryx aren't faster, more resilient, and hit harder then every other faction, then its just not RIGHT to play their stuff!
The only solution is to nerf Khador...As in nerf them more.
On the Mercs Side, operating theatre has cryxian stuff in it again.

Cygnar Oppinions: +Glad to see Heavy Metal reigned in a bit, but infantry options opened up. +My Maddox+Storm Division+Devil Dogs list will live! +Sons of the Tempest is better, but still not a theme I'd play often. +Gravediggers is the same, and excellent
Rhulic Oppinions: +Hammerstrike giving tough to infantry is great. Someday, I'll get around to running 3 units of Forgeguard. That'll be swell.

Well, I simply cannot understand the way benefits have been allocated, especially for Cryx. IMO, the benefits for Cryx lists seem overly strong. My impression had been that Cryx was already doing very well in tournaments.
I have started selling down my factions. Think I will continue.

Still don't understand why Khador is the only faction who was limited to non-character merch soloes (in Winterguard Kommand) and non-character units (in Iron Legion). WK literally has 2 solo options; The Tinker and the Bokur (because we want shield guard in the theme that gives sac pawn right?). We are the only faction to get that stipulation to. Hope its an oversight.

Wait till skorne figures out how to abuse thier themes buddy. Best faction in hordes hands down.
