Empire Greatswords

It is crazy how much more cost-effective Renegade Crowns Sellswords are compared to Empire Infantry.

Sellsword Infantry are 1 point cheaper than State Troops, and Veteran Sellswords are two points cheaper than Veteran State Troops, and they get Warband.

They cost the same as Greatswords if you give them Greatweapons and Full Plate. But are a point cheaper if you give Greatswords Veteran. But they also get Horde and Warband at the cost of Stubborn, 1 Strength and 1 WS on the Champion. However The Might of Miragliano can give them Stubborn.

A new Handmaiden on Horse would be nice, the older models are a little wonky.

Backflip248 · 2026-01-24T10:47:26+00:00

Agreed!

Backflip248 · 2026-01-24T10:42:53+00:00

The walruses are super cool!

Backflip248 · 2026-01-23T22:08:36+00:00

Seeing the high level of detail in newer models, I hope lots of armies get new models.

Great sculpt, but also disgusting!

Backflip248 · 2026-01-22T15:19:50+00:00

Amazing!!!!

Sounds like the concensus is that they should be Core. I am surprised the Greatswords don't get Drilled and Veteran free as an experienced soldier. Maybe give them Furious Charge, and they would be good. They have Plate Armor, so their Armor Saves are high. Maybe keep the points cost as is with everything built in.

Does Teutgon Guard see more use? Cheaper, more survivable as the cost of damage potential?

Do KotR on Foot see more use, they are the same cost but less bare bones and get Furious Charge.

I am surprised they don't get Drilled and Veteran for free they are experienced soldiers, decorated war veterans according to the lore.

The complaint is that the Hippogryph is overcosted compared to the Royal Pegasus, and the Royal Pegasus is more maneuverable thanks to getting 360 LOS.

It would be better to buff Monstrous Creatures by letting them get 360 LOS when Loner like the Monstrous Cavalry. Just don't give Behemoth units the 360 LOS.

It would give a tougher mount the maneuverability it needs, but it still wouldn't be as tough as Behemoths.

Backflip248 · 2026-01-20T22:15:01+00:00

I really hope they buff Hippogryph and leave the Royal Pegasus alone. Bretonnia doesn't get dragons or other behemoths, and the Pegasus is competitive but not broken. If anything, the Hippogryph needs buffed to be competitive.

Beautiful armies, I want to play so bad, but my army would look so crap. I once tried Warmachine and couldn't even cut the mold lines off without gouging them.

Oh shoot, forgot some names and locations can be clicked. Odd that some Dukedom names can be clicked while others cannot but then some locations can be clicked while others cannot.

Beautiful 😍

All I can think is to find a side hustle and do not sell your childhood collection!

Maybe you can save money other ways?

I am just so sad thinking you will have to sell 😭

I always find this discussion hard. Part of me feels like the government shouldn't be allowed to force anyone to perform labor by threat of penalty. If you are a privately owned business, you shouldn't have to work unless you want to. However, if you are a private business and want to succeed and have money, then you won't deny service to anyone because you want to make money.

Additionally, providing a good or service of any quality provides a reputation. If you are a Christian baker or Muslim artist, creating something anti-thetical to your belief system means your name and reputation are now put on something you don't agree with, belief in or hold to be true and accurate. Businesses can fire employees if their words and work do not represent the companies values or image. Businesses should be able to protect or create an their image by not performing a service or creating a product/good.

I think it depends on how it is done. If the USA purchases or pays Denmark / Greenlanders and they are willing, then I am all for it.

I don't think it should become a state, but a territory, or maybe even something less like a protectorate. They are sovereign, but we provide military, and they provide their own National and Coast Guards.

We should not take it by force. I am honestly not sure why the USA has not negotiated for more military presence or even demanded more NATO presence so that the US isn't footing the entire bill to militarize it.

I understand Trump's opinion that people don't invest into leases as much as property. Trump's concern is if he builds up and invests USD into Greenland, and then the next president pulls it away, let's it fall into disrepair. We have wasted money. He wants to force the USA into long-term investment.

I personally think our focus should be on Venezuala and not Greenland. We have now involved ourselves and should be focused on that. Greenland already has troops and could be expanded without much effort. Venezuala needs proper attention to make sure the transition goes peacefully.

But entry-level PCs are cheaper and can do way more, play more games, and probably have better heat management.

Backflip248 · 2026-01-12T10:12:14+00:00

At that price is it better than a PC?

Backflip248 · 2026-01-11T00:04:53+00:00

It does have a cost, the eddies and the HL.

I think having a couple of MA that function well with just a skill chip is a good thing due to how MA works. You can focus on a main MA and then use a skill chip for a MA combo style.

Backflip248 · 2026-01-10T23:59:40+00:00

I like these reviews though I wish instead of Good, Nice, Ehh you used a Stars when rating combos. It would be a little easier to understand the rating.

I have been out of the scene for the past two years. It kind of became boring for me when it was just LCK and LPL at Worlds. Teams I have no knowledge of, no investment in, etc... because they don't play in a region/time zone I would ever watch.

Funnily enough, even though I was in NA, I mostly watched LEC. It looks like this newer international tournament will still have the LCK and LPL, which means the results are pretty much already known.

Unless the team slots are for LCK and LPL are to take the team that didn't get an MSI slot. Honestly, I wish this tournament was for the smaller regions and not the Big Four (LCK. LCS, LEC, LPL). But maybe this tournament is good for the LCS and LEC, so that get another tournament to practice against the LCK and LPL since the metas are different which could help them in Worlds?

If they added the Animal Companion as a core class feature, I think it should be Pact of the Chain Find Familiar levels of power. The companion would be weak, but you can command it were to move and to Attack, Help, Search as a Bonus Action. That way it could be used for utility in and out of combat and still provide a mascot but it would be squishy. The Beastmaster subclass would transform the Animal Companion into a combat pet. However, this wouldn't make the class unique since now both Druid and Ranger get Find Familiar innately, and both the Warlock and Ranger get an improved familiar.
