I saw a while back there were rumors for circle getting a structure. The picture is called "Nine Stone" Is this in the fluff or....? anyone got any speculation on this? I could get wild here and just make something up: "Obelisk Of Orboros"? "Standing Stones"? SPD: 0, STR: 0, MAT: 0, RAT: 6, DEF: 5, ARM: 20 CMD10 Construct, Eyeless sight, Gunfighter Boxes: 38 Weapons: Range 16, ROF 2, AOE 4, POW 14 Abilities: Circular Vision Immobile Distant Deployment Calming Aura: In the maintenance phase, this model may remove up to 5 fury from warbeasts within its cmd range and place them on itself. This model can have up to 5 fury on it at one time Primal power: This model may use Fury to boost attack or damage rolls during its activation Power of the Leylines: During your maintenance phase, if this model has less than 3 fury on it, it immediately gains D3 fury points. Ley Shift: Once per activation This model may spend a fury point to move a freindly faction model Leyline Amplifier: While within 5" of this Model, spells cast by friendly faction models gain +2 range attack Types: Range Amplifier: This attack gains +2 Range Focused Power: This Attack Becomes Range 14, AOE:- and Pow 18. When an enemy model is directly hit by this attack draw a line between this model and the model hit, any model under this line is automatically hit with a Pow 10 magical damage roll. Magical Imprint: Models hit by this attack are affected by "flare" and "Beacon" Yeah I know, its stupid ridiculous but a druid can dream   |

I agree with your last point of bei mg rediculous.
But you make a valid point. Its a structure so lets start by basing it off of an existing structure. The Trencher Bunkhouse.
And yes im serious about helping to create one assuming its balanced.
Spd- str- mat0 rat5(-1)* def5 arm20 cmd10 30hp.
*ill explain why i chose 5 vs 6 when i get home getting food for supper

Leyline Amplifier would be really cool but it seems to have a lot more going on that the Blockhouse... Was Blockhouse a failiure? Just thought of something... If 9 stones was the structure they wouldn't make a guide to making one  Don't they have to sell it? |

The main problem with the Blockhouse for me is it's inability to contest any scenarios, we all have those games that devolve into just running things in to contest, the blockhouse has to just sit there and look sad.
Unless I really wanted the Trench Templates to cover a particular match-up (Vayl 2 or Sloan for example) then I would probably rather just take more Trenchers.

I thoughtbtje same at first bit as it turns out thats not the case. Because as each blockhouse brings two trenches you can easily build a u that will allow you to contest scenerio eliments. Add the recurtion two bring and it can become a uphill battle for scenerio. Truth is the blockhouse is really strong for all it brings. |

Sorry, what I meant is that the Blockhouse itself cannot contest scenario elements, stuff in its Trenches in Zones can, but not the blockhouse itself |

Just double checked all the Scenarios, here is what the Blockhouse can contest
Standoff - Rectangular Zone closest to you if you go 2nd
Spread the Net - your Zone or Flag if you go 2nd
Outlast - your Flag if you go 2nd
Recon II - your flag if you go 2nd
So it can contest some of the closer scenario elements in 4 of the 6, and only if you go 2nd in all of them

I don't think so, the Steamroller packet does not include Structures in it's list
'A player controls a rectangular zone if he owns one or more
warcasters, warlocks, warjacks, warbeasts, monstrosities, or
battle engines within it, and no opponent contests it. Inert
warjacks, wild warbeasts, and out-of-formation warbeast pack
models cannot control zones. Only one model in a warbeast pack
must be in within the zone to control it.'

So nine stone, I'm thinking it has some utility and some fire power. Given how many magical sprays we have (blackclads, manikins) I think it gets 2-4 of those. Maybe it can channel them through friendly constructs.
Also, since it is stones, I think it counts as a forest template, and can teleport d3+1 models completely within 8". If you want to be OP, this is called something different than what the shifting stones do, so we bring back the double-port.
Probably also has a healing ability: d3+3 models completely within the template heal 1 point when it activates.

All I know for sure is that those Menites are about to become very well acquainted with the feeling of being on fire. Never get that close to a wold wight.
