Hi,
I think War Table is an outstanding tool ( CLICK ) and I play with my friends more and more often. I would also like to join the testing process of Brawlmachine (which I consider a New (Last?) Hope for WM&H) so I am looking for ideas on how to break the system and create OP lists for this format (so that these options can be restricted or banned if they prove to be NPE indeed).

Curious that the Crabbits and Reptile Hounds are allowed as multiples, but the former Warbeast units are not. Sure, they're not purchased together anymore, but they really aren't that powerful to not allow an FA:2 in their cases.

I have a hard time really breaking the format.
It is obviously very jack/beast focused. But that's okay. I think the format causes many things to be unfunctional, but that is also not a real balance issue.
What is really potent is Admonition, cheap jamming units, Frontline casters maybe.
Maybe Kaya 1 and Nemo 1 even make sense to play now?!

I played two games yesterday (High Reclaimer vs Barnabus2 & Venethrax vs Helga2) and our first impression is that the scenarios are very live. It's not even the 4Vps advantage, it didn't happen. But with only 5 turns and forces running out of models to score and contest VERY quickly even getting a 1Vp advantage early could mean that the opponent has to work double hard to beat this. Scenario-wise those games were very exciting, extremely focused on scoring and contesting. For example this game was lost by Minions despite their huge attrition advantage. They just didn't have enough pieces to counter High Reclaimer's 2Vps scenario advantage from previous turns, before time runs out.  Which makes me think casters with good scenario/control presence may be the ones to be tested. |

That probably explains why no Skorne Warlocks are on the ban list. There is a dearth of control presence in their Warlocks.
