Seriously guys? We get an update that is great for the faction with no downside and you guys find a way to keep being salty. They were right to tell me the internet would make me lose my fait in humanity To paraphrase something else: "If PP put 20 bucks in every pack, people would complain about how it was folded"
In my case, I was satirizing some of the opinions on the CID. You're not going to hear me complain about very much actually Khador related these days!

Or complain about shipping costs.
Or a mispack, since the 20 was a Euro note and not a greenback.

Ok back to being serious, 21 khador player, 42 lists, and only 17 adjuncts. I was fully expecting the adjunct to be in literally every Khador list.
I mean it wasn't even a question for me, I just by default included him in all my lists. Guidance is so clutch in a lot of match ups.
What's up with that?

For me, I don’t own him. Also, Butcher doesn’t really need him!

Ok back to being serious, 21 khador player, 42 lists, and only 17 adjuncts. I was fully expecting the adjunct to be in literally every Khador list. I mean it wasn't even a question for me, I just by default included him in all my lists. Guidance is so clutch in a lot of match ups. What's up with that? He and S0 are definitely improvements/cool toys. But i think they become a detriment if we auto include them in lists. Not every warcaster needs free upkeeps or +2" range, and not every matchup needs eyeless sight. 17 is pretty close to half, which is what i expected.

Could be a number of things. Not owning him would be a common one, and casters like Harkevich and Vlad 1 (with no upkeeps and no commonly cast spells with ranges) wouldn't get much use out of him. And then I imagine he's considered a luxury pick in Wolves where you don't need help with magic weapons.

S1 wolves seems like a nightmare matchup for any kind of infantry list. You just can't drop your infantry if you see it.
Adjunct absence seems suspect. People have forge seers in jack lists over adjunct? Really?
I think 2x Drakhun numbers exist because of 1x shockies, 1x demos brick with 6 solos running around army composition that seems to be the new hotness for AK lists. Which is the result of inability to have 2x2 units and tankers on top.
Overall it's what one would expect from a bunch of CIDs we got, everything that got CIDed is popular. Poor Iron fangs.
Also what happened to Cryx? They were at the top of the meta one time and then, boom, back to pretty average faction without receiving nerfs.

Yeah, the PPs "we are closely watching the Slayer lists" is really something. I agree with the assessment that Canadians might like Khador because frozen north, makes sense. Harkevich is easy to play, maybe that's why he is high up? The amount of khador players might also be a sign if lots of new guys (who see "oh,frozen north" and goes with khador), so he would be an easy play. Sadly they'll see easy doesn't mean good. Are there any Pacific Rim Harkevichs?

Tharn and Wolves of winter are really good into "traditional" cryx list. Stuff like Skarre1 that used to be a rough match up just got way easier to deal with, same thing for the Slayerspam list. So cryx didn't change, the rest of the game did. There is still clearly something to do with them, but the lists will have to adapt, also there are always the bandwagon people who always switch to the current strong thing in the meta, probably a lot of cryx bandwagonner who moved over to circle in there.

Are there any Pacific Rim Harkevichs? There is one with 3 colossals, and one with double victor.

My local store was shorted on their adjunct order, 3 players ordered them and we got one - Two of us are at OTC. I probably would have fielded an adjunct if I knew for certain I'd be able to get my hands on one before then .
That being said, I'm not actually sure he would have improved either of my particular lists - awesome though he may be.
