Lynus Wesselbaum & Edrea Lloryrr

Whilst I've not been using them in Cygnar I have been using them in their current form and the proposed change means very, very little to me. I'm playing them for two reasons, the first is that I want to (I like the models more than most PP sculpts) and second is that they fulfil a cute role for scenarios. 5pts for an inoffensive utility unit is a small price to pay and wind barrier can make them harder to deal with than opponents first expect. A true sight magic attack is also worth something when you consider the meteoric rise in popularity of gremlin swarms. Even with arcane bolt Edrea is pretty reliable for zapping one base a turn. With this new spell she's got some extra utility on top of that.

However, this still doesn't raise their value in my eyes, be it for Cygnar or any other faction. About the only value for poor old Lynus' applied knowledge ability will be on the trencher long gunner leading a massive CRA double tap.

In the last update they got another change. Now Applied Knowledge works on every model, so Lynus can somehow explain his theories to a Stormwall and the colossal suddenly gets able to snipe away Cortexes and Spirits like there is no tomorrow.

Does this make them more compelling? (Leaving aside the fluff aberration, it's a lost cause to talk about it...).

Exactly. It makes it real compelling with, say, Siege 1 and a Hurricane. The other thing that is real interesting is how cheap they are, 5 points and a four point solo are 9 points total. If your goal is to play these guys and, say, Ragman, then you can still milk 3 free solos in Storm Division. All of our casters aside from Caine3 can get 3 free solos in Heavy Metal.

As a Mennonite I'm really into milking things.

I'm convinced they won't come out that way... or hopeful at least...
