Three of our new models released into Warroom today (apparently they are WMW prereleases?). So what do people think? My take from CID testing.
Abidan - a great buddy cop for a theme that doesn’t want to spend the free slot on a buddy cop. He’s worth 5 points, but there are other things competing for those points.
Like...
Novitate - OK, anyone who doesn’t think this guy is solid gold at 2 points is, well, wrong.
Immortal Vessel - Seems situationally brilliant for 3 points.
Which brings me back to my 5 point conundrum. I’d rather take the Novitate and Immortal Vessel over Abidan, and it’s not like I had a a spare free solo slot in the Exalted theme...

Will need to see the sculpt fornAbidan, but I'm deeply disappointed in the shift of direction for him. We have so many warlocks that want to get forward, the Bodyguard rule was very exciting to me.
Now he's another melee solo with a contingent ability triggered off an AG tax.
Novitiate is a straight boss, especially when I get my hands on a SG.

Can someone get on the horn with PP and tell them they keep screwing up the base pow of the Immortal Vessels gun. It's 5. All similar Spirit Eyes are 6. This will annoy me to no end. Also.... Did anyone ever find telemetry to be a useful ability? I just don't see it outside the Zaals going on an assassination run. Maybe if they'd changed Spirit Eye into a spell instead of a gun, but whatever I guess.

So here was the complaint about the Novitiate: keeping him alive to deliver the tough bubble is very hard. After that he is just a 2 point +2 strength upgrade. Which isn't bad but isn't breaking any records

Telemetry on a channeler will be a pretty big deal for anyone with an offensive spell that they consistently cast. Notably morg 2/3, all 3 makedas and xekaar get a lot out of it.
Infact I think they will make xekaar truly viable in MoW and exalted where mortality can damage fix and his feat has really good synergy with shield wall and immortals with the grave mist change.

I tried the Immortal Vessel with Makeda 3 in the Exalted theme force and..it’s boss. Telemetry makes bladed gale sing, and telemetry+channeler on Eliminator is...wicked.
Novitate does a ton for 2 points. Again, with Makeda 3, if someone tries to snipe out the one giving tough to the Makeda bunker you shield guard it off and voila...Makeda buff.

He actually as it right. Double check warroom/the cid documrnt. It actually says novititate, which is even more ridiculous. I'm guessing it's a typo since novitiate is an actual word and you can see where the extra t falls. |

It is indeed Novititate, it's a word.
They said in the live stream recently it's not a typo.

I know he's an Infernal, but this isn't a rule, it's fluff. He showed a screencap of the release schedule, which has had errors in the names before, and just lost his mind on people. |
