New themes are up. Few rule changes, Jaws loses the no AD rule and gains no ambush.
And we get mercs and kayazy everywhere.

Just wanted to make a thead. Theme updates. privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-09-29-2017So: - 1 merc solo and 1 merc unit everywhere - AKs in WGK, but no free points for them - Jaws denies Ambush instead of AD, can take Yuri for free (finally!) - Koldun and Mow theme pretty much how they were described in previews - other factions got some nerfs and buffs to lists Personally I think mercs open up our list building a lot. A great update for us overall. Shame mow theme is basically bonusless until new releases.

Yuri still isn't free in Warroom. So it's either a typo and he isn't free, or a bug and he is supposed to be free.

I wonder why they made non-character merc in WGK, is it specifically to deny Reinholdt? Anyway A&H is valid, Alexia is valid.

Non-character solo is a grand total of the Goblin Tinker, and the Bokur. Those are the only options we get. Because we obviously want a 5p sheild guard in the theme that gives sac pawn to our casters right? This must be a typo.

I wonder what specifically broke those themes. I have a love/hate with the JotW change EDIT1: Actually how the fleck did GhostFlub come out unscathed (so far as I can see) and JotW got nerfed ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I didn't see any other themes with the character restrictions on the mercs.. guess we're OP guys!

It's a little bit pointless, it leaves us with a shield guard in a sac pawn theme and a solo.
Well it can be used to grab flags. I've missed that tinker.

Adding AKs to WGK and having them do nothing is so incredibly lazy. I also don't see a good reason to run Wolves of Winter.

Non-character unit in LoS is strange but I honestly don't think it will make much difference; anyone object? It is strange that 2 of 4 Khador themes got this non-character clause and no one else did. Also strange if Khador was the only ones with typos...

In wolves of winter, I can't get the option to add Kayazy? From the reading of the rules it seems like they should be available no?

I'm none too happy about the Jaws change. Losing AD made a huge difference quite often. Losing ambush? That's useless the majority of the time. In the last 2 months of playing I've played against ambushing models twice. I'm kind of underwhelmed at this drop. MoW theme is super blah still as it does almost nothing to help out their big weakness of slow and low volume of attacks. The greylord theme is just ok in my opinion. I love the apparition, dislike the begin upkeeps in play because of the obvious skornegy with the basic infantry unit of that theme. But at least they tried interesting benefits with it. I just don't see myself playing the Greylord theme that often though as Doomies are still overcosted in my opinion and we now have easier access to magic weapons with A+H.
I still dislike how Behemoth is available in only 1 theme. Either open him up to more of them or make him Irusk's character. It's kind of dumb to me that our premier character jack can be played in one theme and one theme only.

Wolves is a little mneh, Doomies can't have upkeeps.
Maybe as a secondary Jack theme with a caster with a load of upkeeps.
Man o war theme seems like a weaker LoS theme at the moment, maybe once the new things get done it will improve a bit.

Man o war theme seems like a weaker LoS theme at the moment, maybe once the new things get done it will improve a bit. My Vlad2 list I think got strictly better with the new theme. I can swap out WGIRC for Nyss. Saxon can still come to help with terrain. That leaves me 18 points to still play with - suggesting, for example, Drakhun_S_ or I could go with TWO units of demoCorp - who hitting at POW 19 with critical freeze (thank you Arcane Might) would seem to IMMEDIATELY threaten to end the game from 14 inches away. Points don't work out to bring a second MOW Kovnick (own one) but still playing around with optimizing. Will play tomorrow and post in "my" loud chriss thread. A&H into Vlad1 and all the Rockets and it feels like my work is done ;-)
