Also did anybody forget +3 Armor Feat? I did in listing out pros and cons. But again, in the games so far with the combo I find myself using it defensively with behemoth further back. If I get to use it to alpha sending Big B in would be overkill. Hark needs shooting. He LOVES bless and magic shooting. This gives him a way to get both.

Couple of updates from the front.
First game into Zerxis1 (sp) - the Skorne caster with Defenders ward and the feat with an extra dice on melee damage. Behemoth did decent work. His general did not. But when you can aim and hit those centrati at POW 16 - with blessed - things went well. I killed the agonizer with BLAST damage (POw 9 boosted) and did kill off some centrati. Mostly the problem was a poor play - I had lots of good stuff blocking his approach to my scoring zone - should have gone for that but I did want to see how the package performed rather than not get a shoot off and play for the points. I STILL had a decent shot at winning - a bloody centrati made TWO tough rolls otherwise I would have gotten "AIM!" shoots into his warlock when no transfers.
Second game Stryker 2. HYSTERICAL. No gibbs this game. Blew away serious amounts of stormnouns ("nope, blessed ignores decel and Arcane shield). Very typical Hark grind fest as he wins on scenario with 2-3 jacks left. One of the Greyforge ran into his zone to help contest and then the Kodiak crushed Stryker. A classic thing that happened with Big B is when I empowered him with 2 focus and then had him get CRUSH and then using a focus to Charge. That was ONE DEAD LANCER, pow 14 armor piercing being a bit of a thing ;-)
I really like the package. Pre measuring means you really can keep the Marshalling Greyforge back. You do need to bring him up closer as Big B gets into combat but I think you need to consider that an attack into the Greyforge is not an attack into Big B. Yeah - can't BUY attacks (or get the Drive if the Greyforge dies) but so far in 4 games the Greyforge have been ultra safe.
Maybe after KC will test out running the package with another caster. All of this has been running Hark in the Jaws theme. Maybe Sorsha1 next with some good gunline fun - maybe with Beast 09 in her Group for shield guard. Pass out Freezing grip like candy and then shoot the shit of out stuff.
