So, now that they are doing insiders on Company of Iron... What are the chances we still see an insider about Faithful masses? Or did I just miss it? (I know their write ups are rarely ever the best but I was wondering what they were thinking or aiming for with the list.)

might be next issue if the sneak photo of Protectorate at the back of NQP1 is anything to go by!
It would be nice if they justified the nerf to Hand of vengeance but likely it will come whenever the official CID report drops. Would be cool to see what list they show though as an idea of the design they had in mind... This theme force is still likely to be overwhelmingly our strongest option.

sarcasm Why would you want one? they're just gonna tell us to put the monks in the bushes anyway. /sarcasm
but really, final version of the champion notwithstanding, what is there about FM that you don't already know that you need an insider for?

This theme force is still likely to be overwhelmingly our strongest option. the justification is the dervish and amon. MAT 12 PS20's moving 7 inches with pathfinder, sidestep, and parry are NOT OK! I think the dervish is set to be for us what the hunter was for cygnar: a piece that easily breaks many of our best bonuses and will deny them from us, until it gets nerfed, and then we get neither.

As I stated above I'm curious what kind of list privateer had in mind for the theme. I have seen many suggested lists, many of which look really good. Part of me wants to see if they mention something other than what we as a community found, and part of me wants to laugh at them suggesting we put monks in bushes.

However, I think FM is our best theme from a design perspective since, after the buffs come through, nearly every piece in the theme will be worth its points. None of our other themes, in fact most themes in the game, can't say that. the only thing I'll still feel bad about paying for will be the champion, but I have lingering suspicions that they know girded was trash and have changed it post-cid. the Guardians change gives me hope.

I am excited for post changes FM but it's all the stuff I still need to buy... I started mk3

When putting Idrians into a PoM Theme, do they work as Partisan or as Merc? So is it possible to cast faction only spells on them when having them in a PoM Theme list?

They become Friendly Faction, as per Partisan. The new Theme tweaks just finally let them be used, the army the Theme is part of is still a Protectorate one, so Partisan triggers. No Attendant Priest required 😀

I think there will be a bigger section dedicated to it in Prime 2 or 3 - that's how they did it with Trenchers. The work they put into prime is really good for the trencher theme force, I would much prefer that than just an insider laying out the changes.
Also - just because we don't have it now doesn't mean we're never getting it.

If Idrians are in a protectorate list, they ALWAYS become FF. Even if you squeeze them into a theme force as the "One merc/minion unit allowed".

Not sure if there will be all the singing and dancing as they didn’t launch a bunch of new things which PP wants us to purchase.

So what's the list everyone is thinking of using in FM? Double Idrians?

I was actually thinking of a testament list with extra recursion via zealots... and just throwing in some heavies (including a guardian with arc node) to maximise some punishment
