Nice, I'm impressed by how much work got done with countercharges.

How relevant was the Strakhov's kit there? The report felt like Red Legion did all the things while Strakhov dispensed marginal buffs.

God Krieg it gets a bit exhausting following you on 4! Sites...
Nevertheless what Sk2 brings is delivery. He is a bit like Harkevich is for jacks. He gives speed and arm stacking which is what he is about mostly. Paired with an arm buff and a high survivability.
I had a trolley player try to kill stuff in my feat turn and all he did kill were 6 dragons with 6 or 7 beasts.
Earthquakes didn't kill a single Uhlan and mauler killed 2 dudes.
And that was with 2 tough rolls out of 8 made.
But yeah the theme is very good. But I think Irusk2 is not the best.
Best casters are sk2, irusk1 and z1 I my opinion.

Nice, I'm impressed by how much work got done with countercharges. Absolutely. It's amazing - and a lot of fun (at least on our side). But don't forget it's really hard to see this coming - at least for now! You have to remember two (!) rules: 1. LoS giving Countercharge to Malakov & Co., 2. Malakov giving all Iron Fangs the ability to have LOS and move through each other. And don't forget you can't counter these Countercharges by engaging because of (2.): You can't simply engage a Great Bear who's sitting behind some Dragons or Pikes. It's a pretty big challenge. A tough nut. I love it. People will of course understand that Markov is their problem. But with 2 Kodiaks and terrain I'm pretty sure to be able to keep Markov alive anyway. How relevant was the Strakhov's kit there? The report felt like Red Legion did all the things while Strakhov dispensed marginal buffs. It's SUPER relevant: 1. Stacking ARM up to 26 on the Dragons during the feat turn is just stupidly good! Adding tough on top is pretty awesome, too. 2. Quicken is AMAZING! Your Dragons/Pikes are running just as far as your Uhlans. And your Uhlans can run 20"! 3. And then there's Last Stand. Oh boy, it's such a brutal (and fair!) spell. I just love it. God Krieg it gets a bit exhausting following you on 4! Sites... Nevertheless what Sk2 brings is delivery. He is a bit like Harkevich is for jacks. He gives speed and arm stacking which is what he is about mostly. Paired with an arm buff and a high survivability.

ARM stacking + delivery + BAM! BAM! BAM!  Regarding the "4 sites", it's even more.  I'm currently testing how relevant the different Khador outpost are. Have a look:  |

Well I just saw you on Muse on Minis so that would be the fifth! Reddit seems odd to be honest. I feel there is less conversation going on, but that might be me the format. And of course its been on Reddit a bit longer  But honestly I don't mind, and if you continue your Blog-Project i will surely bookmark your site. |

I really got to try out legion this week. Ended up playing a LONG vlad1 game with rockets (BTW- that is ANOTHER great list --) which took up most of Saturday. Seems like a BRUTAL anti-cygnar drop. ARM 21+ on the IFP/BlackDragons seems very good into Electroleap spam. I am intrigued about mini-feating the Red Fangs to 18 inches to tie up my opponent....and of course 24 inches with the advanced move! I can easily see some bottom of 1 feats if you opoonent brings relatively low volume of attacks kinds of things.

Altough I'm not sold on Strakhov2 just yet, I do like that he can project his feat very far on turn one thanks to the reposition pseudo-battle plan, he can do his stuff and still move 11 inches forward, which is further than his running jacks... I'm pretty sure he will need jacks with heavy boilers just so they can keep up.

skathrex , I will definitely continue writing my batreps on Medium. It's an awesome tool for batreps, even better than WordPress. sand20go , I've already played against Caine3 - and ARM 22 + tough was already sufficient to up the survivability of the Dragons massively. auraco , absolutely, so far I've mostly used the 5'' repo option because it's huge to gain ground or move forward, spell and/or shoot, move backwards into safety. Stealth is a super option as well - but not against Caine3 of course. And for sure, the Kodiaks fit awesomely because the army is way too fast for 8'' runs only. Those extra 2'' count. I sadly don't see the Grolar with SK2. Besides, I really like to have native Pathfinder in a list that doesn't have any except of Strakhov's gang.

I'm still not sure about the grolar with SK2, I really like the grolar and it does hit harder than the kodiak, problem is the grolar is expansive and SK2 has very few jack points, which is limiting when you want to field an expansive jack like the grolar.

Krieg, can you please try it into some form of jackspam?

auraco, for sure, the Grolar is too expensive and won't see too much play before it gets optimised. smoothcriminal, the game against Caine3 was in "Heavy Metal" and had only jacks except of Caine3 and the free solos. It's pretty close to a jack skew - but with gun jacks only.

So how good was the list against Caine3?

Spoiler: I'm 4:0 with SK2 so far, smoothcriminal . There's another game scheduled for tomorrow and a (team) tournament this Saturday. Thanks to high ARM and tough I didn't have too many problems to sustain Caine3's shooting. And thanks to Last Stand it wasn't too hard to remove the colossal and jacks. SK2 & LoS are pretty awesome in general. |
