No new rules? Build an army with only 8 models? I might be in on this one. Given that that bit was precis'd with 'can play Battle Engine heavy', might be more expensive than a conventionally constructed list... -_- I'm guessing FA 3 Battle Engines at 13-15pts a pop so five in the list plus caster & minimal BG + a solo for support of some sort... *shrug*

Problem is what affects living/undead spills over to warbeasts and constructs are mostly warjacks... creating a difference in the power of the model sporting that ability. I don't feel this is reflected in most models. If only the two Will's mentioned 3 man alchemist units that were FA 3 and had grenades similar to Gormans, and maybe one of them is rust, or works on all constructs... I guess PP just hate hordes! I said nothing to about specific models or Crucible guard. I stated something about the different impact of the living clause when compared to the construct clause. If that Gorman unit has the same grenades as Gorman it'll clearly be more of a factor into warmachine than into hordes since a pow 12 doesn't threaten most beasts and rust only makes then sneeze (Wolds nonwithstanding)... It'll be one of the rarer cases. I don't know where the quip about PP hating Hordes came from... do you?

First Colossal Warcaster with 0 WJP confirmed!

Good point, hadn't considered themes... Still, the comment of a potential 8 model army does lack a certain context so we can only really chalk the whole (albeit brief) paragraph as indicating... yes, you can go nuts with no few of huge based models... *shrug*

I mean if they release a colossal I can see you running 2 Colossal, 2 Battle engines a caster and 3 free solos.

Man, this looks better and better. I think I'm going to be 100% in on this faction too.

Well, we do have precedent in the small (model count) army with the Pacific Rim list in Retribution. This could end up being a similar situation but as stated before, more battle engines over more colossals.

Potential armor piercing or dismantle or trash on their picks. Sounds excellent.

Goddamit more stuff to edge on Khadors ideas. I see why Khador can only get "Guy with Two Weapons" as attachments now.
