MkIII is almost a year old at this point. We've all played tons of games and designed hundreds of lists. So, at this point in the edition's life cycle, which faction is currently your favorite (in terms of the gaming experience in MkIII)?

Define Favorite. Favorite asthetics, favorite to play, favorite lore wise. Because Cryx has always, and will always be my favorite faction asthetic wise and lore wise, but gameplay wise Cryx is just dull in Mark3 where the little Retribution I have is exciting to put on the table.

Cryx. I'm kinda with Deller here that they aren't interesting to play at the moment for me. I do certainly love them though.

Yea, favorite could probably be better defined.
my main faction is cryx, love the aesthetics, game play is getting redundant. So its my favorite to look at but maybe not to play.

Still cryx.
I started mk3 with cygnar, got bored VERY quickly, moved to ret for a bit, then legion, and now I'm back with the ghost pirates and spiderjacks.
I do have a very short attention span though:-p

Favourite for me is Retribution for playing to looks to lore. Protectorate is 2nd for me in terms of looks and lore but I do not care for them in mk3.

Khador. I love the color schemes, the characters, the culture, the approach to warfare, the 'Jacks... and the greatcoats.
After that, Rhul. Not mercs in general - couldn't care less for Sea Dogs or whatever - but I like Dwarves in just about any game where I can play them.
In Hordes, I have the MkII Circle box, but I've never played it (I just like trhe Warpwolves and the Skinwalkers). But I've always wanted to explore Trollbloods - what's not to like about Scottish trolls? I just don't think I'd be able to paint them right.

I'm shocked that Circle has only one vote so far, considering how dominant Wurmwood was at the launch of MkIII.

This is tricky for me, because I find myself liking aspects of several factions, but also disliking other aspects of those factions:
- Mechanically, I really like Retribution and (for the most part) Skorne. However, I don't really care for the aesthetics of either. The smooth, almost cyberpunk look of the retribution models doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the world and is a look I dislike in general. With Skorne, I don't mind some of the designs, but I'm not fond of most of the elephantine warbeasts (save for the Despoiler, which I love). Also, I find a lot of their warcasters a bit garish/over-embellished for my tastes.
- In terms of aesthetics, I love most of the Cryx stuff (especially their warjacks), but I don't like how Cryx actually plays in 3rd
- I like a lot of the Circle stuff (both aesthetically and mechanically). I love the warpwolves, I like the skinwalkers, woldwyrds and woldstalkers. The problem is that they don't have a single warlock I like. Not one. It might be because they're a bit dull compared to the other stuff (we've got huge werewolves, but the best we can do with casters is 'girl with pet wolf', we've got these stone golem things, but the best casters are 'man with stones' or 'man with big sword'). I wish there were some less human casters (even Kromak in his "beast forms" just looks like a bigger, uglier human). It doesn't help that the mechanics of most of them don't really grab me either.

Post-errata Skorne. Always loved the models and aethetics, and after errata it finally became competitive.

Legion is in a weird spot right now because I personally feel most everything in the army is overcosted where a lot in retribution seems to be perfectly costed and a lot of stuff in cygnar and khador seems to be undercosted. THis is not to mention i wouldnt say we have any S-teir casters. I still love the looks of my models

I'm torn. I still like the aesthetics for Cryx (just picked up two units of gunslingers and the new Denny2 model) but, if I actually had the opportunity to play competitively, I would likely go with Khador.

I voted based on our venue's sales. Ret is currently flying off the wall.
