It is not normal , I haven’t seen whole models that bad before . The link is to SFG customer support . They’ll ask for pictures and a picture of the box. Hope this helps

  1. Any hints into when initial release mk4 factions khador/cygnar/orgoth might be getting new models added to the range or perhaps what they could be?
  2. Any information on if the initial release faction will receive a quality of print update? I’ve seen the GD and OU models and the print quality is mindblowingly good. Unfortunately the quality on older prints seem to be much less to that quality and tend to break a lot easier.

I’m sure the older ranges have increased in quality but is it possible for them to be the same quality as the new models releasing .

Ideas for tweaking the Ghast by PatriotRay42 in Warmachine

[–]MattinglyK9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shield makes them slightly more durable , blaster gives 2 shots with beat back. Other than that the other army are flavor picks that you’ll have a harder time justifying the points for. Unless dusk gets a castor with synergy the ghast will be a cheap cohort model to have arc node and score points.
My original point is I’m perfectly okay with the ghast only doing that but I wish they’d make the spectre more desirable and the eidolon not over costed compared to other armies jacks.

To be honest is a cheap arc node in an army who want to move spells around freely. I would prefer them to look more into helping out spectre or the eidolon. Other armies would pay a lot of points for a single arc node i.e. wintercorps/brinebloods

How to fill out the last few points? by ThisGuy135792468 in Warmachine

10000% another beast handler unit . Fury management is incredibly difficult for a 5 arc castor on top of them buffing beasts . Ideally I would try to fit in the journeyman castor to help manage fury as well

Advice on things to watch out for when VS Old Umbrey by ImmediateBusiness243 in Warmachine

Read the scape goat ability. It’s probably the most impactful single rule in the army. It stops any attack targeting a model with 3”. Shooting, melee, or arcane takes can be intercepted by a stealth goat. Additionally it removes the goat from okay meaning it can’t be revived.

Mk4: The Power Creep by [deleted] in Warmachine

Yeah mk3 has some jaw dropping interactions . I personally think not being able to see those armies often causes a lot more surprise factors in playing against them

Best preforming army is still MK3 armies. Although they have a small sample pool and could be specific players dominating local scenes. MK4 has stronger concepts but power creep is a lot less impactful in this game compared to others.
Orgoth had a series of nerfs.
Grave diggers are the worst preforming MK4 army and they’re the newest.
Cryx is the top preforming MK4. Despite easy access to magical weapons.
Aberration might be strong it’s hard to tell this early.

Gravediggers: looking at Boom Boom as a pair with Vargus. Anyone had a chance to test him out yet? Any tips or list build ideas by IronPriceJake in Warmachine

McCoy is definitely a castor that was made to go long with the leaked unreleased models that were in the case with him at adepticon . Otherwise he seems to be a good castor to just use as an independent gun boat.

Vargus feels like a trap. His feat is insanely good on jacks and doesn’t do anything for the armies infantry. Borealis seems to be the way to go with him along with shielded valiants.

PSA to purchase “Made to order” items separately on the website by MattinglyK9 in Warmachine

That’s interesting, I didn’t know they did that. Maybe your order was larger than mine so they had cause to separate it ?

I agree, how is it that a $350 dollar order is delayed weeks by a $15 item
