So I have been underwhelmed by the discussion on the thread so I better start some. How are we finding the oblivion themes. I think they have opened up alot with bigger battlegroup, more huge bases and still three freebies. I am feeling a bit lost as to where to start.

On facebooks its all about the Tridents, and which theme you pick is more about which support models you want for your Tridents.
I'm rethinking my defenders list as Halbs arent as fast anymore and I get 2 ghost snipers for a single requisition point.
It might be time to add some Vyre lights and an Arcantrik force generator.

I am wanting to take a serious look at marshaled harpies and sirens with Elara in Legions. And Rahn Forges got better with a Trident and hermit.
Other than that Oblivion killed my interest in Shadows, because no ambush in Infiltrators.

I have no trident and no real interest in buying one. So I haven't really had anything worthwhile to say in quite sometime. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Other than that Oblivion killed my interest in Shadows, because no ambush in Infiltrators. Yeah, why they decided to pick on infiltrators I don't get, unless they plan on dropping a UA soon. I've been running scary gary in legions with marshaled sirens, the sheer weight of vengence plus flank means that gary can spend his time doing what he needs to, and the marshalls sit on the flanks and are independent. Had 1 with 2 focus and the +2 damage from arcanists get crush and tear a inverter to the point the scyir killed it with a follow up charge. But even without arcanist support, a walk with 2 flanking pow 16s and 1 pow14 in a sea of weaponmasters seems to really crack armor. Only issue is lowish threat range of 9 without vengence. Too bad road to war doesnt affect marshalled jacks:( As for the theme remix, I've been loving it. I dont own a trident, don't plan on it, and been doing fine. Retribution I think has returned to its mk2 combined jacks/infantry styles of lists. Also running thyron in shadows with three banshees to deal with my recursion/corpse heavy meta. I feel vey creative right now, and have been enjoying list creation the most since mk3 dropped theme free. |

I am feeling creative also. Trying Thyron in legion where I usually put him in defenders. Going to give Ravyn a turn as she looks interesting. I do own two tridents though they hinder list design as they are a third of the army with both included. Am thinking along a list with one trident and one AFG, always like Kaelyssa in that kind of list.

New Themes really open up a lot of possibilities.
But i have to say that i dont understand why shadows lost ambush and Forges free ups...
While wall is good of course it sucks for general game design
Imho tridents ruin this faction and game

Oh I also wanna test a Kaelyssa list with Eiryss 4 as a spicy tech piece. Probably in defenders though.

I don't think any model spoils a faction, it is a choice to play with that model or not and in our case many are playing without it and still having fun while remaining in the game competition wise. The only near compulsory model is an arcanist so we are doing ok in support tax.

Let me post some good news
I’ve been painting. A lot.
The new GW contrast paints are a godsend. I’ve painted more Warmachine models this month than I painted last year. I’m pumped to get some games in.

I’m pumped to get some games in. Especially for those 1 hitpoint models. I have been doing the same. Contrast, air brush white ink for lighting effects, reapply. If you want to expand your range of contrast paints this guy as a good tutorial on how to make your own too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU0rc0EOOys&t=651s |

I presume they would be exceptional for my base,wash, highlight method of painting. If my FLGS ever has anything but an empty rack for them  |

So I am off for some games in Singapore and Im taking Gary2 in defenders and 4shade in legions. Finding one of each battle engine in defenders better than two tridents or three battle engines. Need a unit or two and battle group and solos. Double sniper for one req ppint and eiryss for another is good. 4shade does his thing in legion where sentinels love hitting harder. What pairs are other elves using, what casters are underplayed. I like trying less used casters when i can so after this i will change it up,maybe back to Thyron.
