You want funny? I got a joke for you; well, a joke of a list anyway... conflictchamber.com/?c3200O7c7s8C9vhFkS7m75Khador [Strakhov 1] Kommander Oleg Strakhov [+28] - Kodiak [13] - Torch [18] - Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker [4] Greylord Forge Seer [4] - Decimator [15] Kell Bailoch [5] Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (max) [19] I had a sudden urge to slip a Decimator into my list. Figured I might as well put it on my Forgeseer. Torch and the Kodiak could be fun, with Sprint, Overrun, and Smash & Grab. Damn that list really only has 4 good modles, i love it.

I like the Decimator and rarely make a list without at least one.
I don't see the benefit of Sylys here, or Torch, or the Nyss Hunters, though.

When playing against new players I don't like to change too many models in my lists at a time; I want them to feel like they're coming to grips with the game, which is hard if my list is wildly different every time they play. So Strakhov, Sylyss, the Kodiak, Kell, and the Nyss are staying from the last iteration of the list. Torch is there to be janky and eat up points. I almost put in Drago (the jack, not the MOW), but figured it was too early for my friend to have to face a DEF 15 Poltergeist warjack. Soon though, soooooon....

With this play, I shall secure the game! I use Grave Wind, and Drago runs! You’ll never be able to clear the zone now! Let me just roll for Unstable first. Oh, I died.”

Oh, I died.” You have no idea how happy I would be if that were to happen. I swear, my Berserkers never blow up when I want them to! What the hell is the point of taking a Berserker if it's not going to blow up? And in the rare case when it does, I roll really low for blast damage and don't even kill anything! Dammit, now I really want to play Drago. And a Decimator. Or just, you know, play anything. Flippin' infection rates just keep going up around these parts.

I just want to play.
I think Drago is... fine? DEF 15 poltergeist is annoying but that's basically it. It's good practice for the game as a whole, and that factions are more than their stereotype. Khador has more tricks than ARM20 stronk and P+S high. Other factions can likewise throw expectations off.

Also: Mat 9 Berserk with Overrun means, like, twice as much Berserk!
I dunno where that ranks on the power scale, I just think it sounds like fun.

Golly, I would like to play Warcaster. Also Monsterpocalypse. But man, I was looking forward to the early days of Warcaster and that new and shiny sense of wonder.

Well, according to the latest kickstarter update they've starting shipping out the first wave of rewards, so at least you should be able to start prepping the models soon. I've already decided on the bases for my Marcher Worlds: www.greenstuffworld.com/en/textured-rolling-pins/221-Rolling-Pin-Hobby-Roller-Factory-Ground.html

My hobby progress during the last 4 months has been all but nonexistent. On the brighter side, odds are that, if I consistently put forth even a minimal amount of effort, all my Warcaster stuff will be painted before the pandemic ends and I can go back to the game shop. My motivation to paint my toys is proportional to the frequency with which I get to use my toys.

Yeah, my motivation has also been pretty low until very recently. Some packages finally arriving, along with the new Riotquest kickstarter, have given me a bit of a bump and I've actually gotten some decent work done the last couple of days - but split up across a few projects so not much to show for it yet.

The Warcaster: Neo Mechanika rules are so, so good.
The terrain rules and objective rules open up freedoms never dreamed of in my ...now, I guess, 14+ years of Warmachine.

So examples to those of us who don't have it (yet)?
