I would be pretty contempt if Watchers gun got Powerful Attack, and I don't feel it would be too powerful.

Latest CID has Magical Weapons on both melee and ranged. The wording is "Enemy animi and enemy upkeep spells on models in this model's battlegroup that are in it's control area immediately expire. Enemy magic attacks targeting a model in this model's battlegroup suffer -5 RNG".
This wasn't exactly what I had hoped, but it's an interesting option IMO.

It can be very profitable. If I'm against a caster where I don't need Ruin, I'll often go with Fortune's Path. Then I proc it on enemy turn if I can, and on my turn I'll casually be charging past your guys, you can either let me or take a freestrike, proc Reckoning and RIP.
Same thing with Sacrifice, if I need to heal something, I'll just bait freestrikes. One of my regular opponents actually caught onto this and wouldn't give me freestrikes to proc Reckoning. Though it made him go way behind on attrition, if he HAD procced it the game would have been over. So it can give your enemies nasty Catch-22s, which on a clocked game are very useful.
Also vs Countercharges etc, The Shadow can really let you trade up since you can proc it if they charge you.

As a Kraye player, and newly converted Grymkin fanatic, maybe I can offer some advice. Though maybe I shouldn't... Read the Arcanas they choose as many times as necessary until you understand what they do exactly, and how they proc. You probably won't be able to stop all of them totally, but at least you know it's coming and you can maybe bait them into using it at unopportune times. Freestrikes. I love freestrikes. They give me access to some nice jank like Reckoning+Fortune's Path (+3 to hit and to damage on the reckoning target, cycle away!), you proc Fortune's Path on a random miss on your enemys turn and then on your turn you do a charge where you deliberately either get to hit the target in the back arc, or they do freestrike and you proc Reckoning and R.I.P. You guys are Cygnar! Use the lightning! Electroleaps don't give corpses so go crazy. I have yet to figure out a good solution to them, but I'm working on it... If all else fails, atone for your sins and reroll Grymkin.

My Mohsar is intrigued for sure. And my Brad is happy about the +2STR buff CID 'confirmation'.

Speaking of Witchwood, I played a game vs Ossrum Bunnyfarm today (I won hooray!) and used Witchwood to take command of Gorman, and Blinded Ossrum from back arc. Eventually didn't lead to assassination and I won somewhat accidentally on scenario, but that interaction was pretty cool and stuck with me.

I love Witchwoods. At first they felt a bit meh, but then I got a few good games in. My opponents really don't like the movement jank with them, so they usually remove them first (or rather, try, now that I know they want them dead). Longfellow and two Witchwoods are my go-to solo setup in any bump list I've done, and I don't expect that to change very soon.

I played my first game with Child yesterday, and Discord on a Gorehound is damn strong.

Got my first two games in yesterday. My list was Army Box, Death Knell,2x Crabbits, 2x Cask Imp and proxied Twilight Sisters. First game was against Haley2 (glad about it since I had hyped this army quite a bit and it brought me back to earth ) which went horribly from choosing Arcanas (picked Ruin and Shroud, had Shroud been Shadow it would have been a very different game) to just general gameplay. Nothing too notable, got pretty destroyed on feat turn and conceded so we could have another game since there was not much I could have done (even though my opponent was nice enough to give me Telekinesis, it wasn't enough.) Next game up against Denny2, non gf. Went much better, though the dice were on my side on a few occations. Picked Ruin and Shadow, meaning to drop Shadow to ruin charge lanes or trading a heavy. Didn't even plan on it, but my opponent moved Denny so I could proc Shadow SM into melee with her (my placement was stupid, didn't put him into range of my Knell even though I could have. Next time.). It would have probably been game over, but she managed to use her two remaining activations to remove it(it died to cont fire, rip). Game ended when I was about to charge full SM into Denny, but noticed that Heretic was in range as well. 5 automatic hits later (she was camping 3, I didn't cast Fury because I can't math) she was dead and my W:L ratio is 50/50. Thoughts: Heretic autohit is bonkers. With Reckoning and Fury he can do 6 autohits at PS18, which is pretty nice. Heretic being immune to Knockdown and Spells allows him to play pretty forward against Denny and the like. I like every model in the list and want to use all the others too, so it's gonna take a while to find the one list where I can safely settle. Having used Arcanas on the battlefield (and failing hard at start) made me read them much more carefully and come up few devious ways to use them. P.s. on both games a Cask Imp blew up on 1A by themselves, just because.

All Non-Warlock warrior models now get Northkin and Immunity:Cold in theme, including minions. I was already planning to include Lanyssa for the synergy with her native cold immunity and snow drifts and use them to deliver her. But this opens lots of possibilities. Borka2 feat doesn't specify friendly Faction, so some cool stuff there.

I was really hyped for Trollblood CID, but if Wold theme will get love I'm probably gonna pass out. I just want to play my Wolds again ;____;

And I'm weighing if I really need to eat all that much during the rest of the month...
I just recently got into Trolls and got few nice deals so I've got loads of those I still need to test, but I just want to play King of Nothing and Heretic ;____;
I didn't participate in the CID and don't know much beyond reading the cards on Warroom, but I'm pretty hyped. Is there a good way to run KoN with Hollowmen (never had recursion before so I want to try them out if I end up buying the box)? I heard there was a spammy list with KoN in Dark Menagerie?
How ya'll doing?
