This new theme force will be in CID starting next Wednesday. For those who missed the Dev Chat, this is EITHER a Khador or Protectorate theme force. Based on Dev Chat, I believe the following are true about the theme force:
- It’s either Khador or Protectorate. YOU decide.
- All models in the theme force must be Khador or Protectorate Cavalry models.
- Any Khador or Protectorate Cavalary caster. They specifically mentioned Reznik 2 and Vlad 3. We can assume Feora 3 and Kreoss 3.
- Any Cavalary unit or solo from Khador or Protectorate.
- Unclear, but I assume all 3 Khador battle engines would be allowed, since they all have the Cavalary special rule.
- All non character jacks from both factions. In terms of character jacks, Drago would be allowed in Khador. Not sure about Menoth.
So, first, what do you think?
Regarding our stuff...
Vlad 3 - he’s recognized as one of Khaodr’s worst casters, but in an all Cav theme? He’ll be pretty good. HoF and Dash are pure gold. Infernal Machine is brilliant on one warjack. Blood Quenched got a sweet upgrade so against infantrymachine he’s got game.
Uhlans - Arm 17/19, POW 16 (Lance rule, sigh...), you bring them because they hit hard once, or twice with Vlad 3’s feat, and bring Relentless Charge. Do you like them over a unit of of Flame Bringers? I own a unit, and their well painted...so they’re probably an auto include.
Outriders - Pure gold for the SPD and SP attack if you have a caster that boosts the attack roll, and this theme has access to that. Vlad 3 likes Outriders. Feora 3 and Incite seems really cool with Outriders...first I freeze you, then I burn you to toast?
Solos - Ferris and Drakhuns are both solid choices, but potentially overcosted in this theme...but maybe not depending on the cavalry benefit and caster, and the availability of other cheap flag scoring solos. I don’t know much about the PoM solos.
Jacks - OK, we know what our good ones are, but I have no idea about the PoM jacks. A jiudicator with Vlad 3 and Hand of Fate seems...really good.
