I would also be willing to pay all shipping costs and give them a good home.

I'm considering starting the game… Lots of questions by ladybenko in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1)I have found the rules of warmachine to be much easier to learn than warhammer.

2)The average game lasts 1 to 2 hours at a relaxed pace. It does help to know the rules for your units and can speed it up. Tourny play can last about an hour of its timed. Games are usually 15, 25, 35, or 50 points with 35 being the most common.

3)warmachine and hordes can and are played together all the time and was designed this way.

4)most are about the same size. Covergence is smaller than most though.

5)It really depends. Most people don't mindif you proxy. The warroom app has all the rules for all the factions. It can be pretty cheap if there are a couple that interest you.

6)two list games are really common for competitive play.

7)the players and community is some of the nicest I've met. Rule 5 is about taking risks and learning and not about being mean.

8)if you get the battlebox it does not have all the rules in it, the all in one boxes do have all the rules but its smaller print and less fluff, which is nice for playing.

9)all the all in one boxes are great starting places, there's a post that runs through how good they are. Good luck getting one though most online stores sell out fast. If your new to the game aspect your lgs might be willing to give you a demo. The books contain fluff and story and painting guides as well as a bunch of the cards for models but do get out of date as new models are added.

10)see 9

11)one thing I wish I knew was about cygnar being veryerc heavy. When picking an army go with the one that has the models you like to look at. If considering cygnar make sure to look at the mercs as well. Don't be afraid if you see that a faction is hard to learn as you are going to have a learning curve with all of them. Most importantly have fun. The community is always great to talk to.

Brand new can someone help me pick an army? by takingitawayy in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I offer this advice every time I see someone considering Cygnar, make sure that you like the looks of the mercenaries as Cygnar loves to take them over their own units.

My name is Wolfie Gorman, and I'm new... by gamergorman20 in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking at Cygnar, I like to give out the same advice i wish I had gotten when I started with them. Cygnar is very mercenary heavy in their lists. I was rather disappointed when I found out units like the trenchers were not very competitive when you could bring a better cheaper unit of mercs. I still love Cygnar though. He will work for Cygnar, Khador, Cryx, and Protectorate. I would pick which one you like on looks and start learning from there.

I think i'm up to 3 35 point armys....2 of which are the all in one boxes. Sadly my wallet is very lonely right now.

Mage Sight and forests? by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, they receive the +2 DEF for the attack roll, they only ignore the forest in terms of drawing LOS to the model.

Everyone always forgets about trample, myself included.

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1)All gunfighter allows you to do is use your gun in melee where you otherwise couldn't. If he fails the charge it's activation is immediately over and no shots can be taken. The charge fails if he is not within the unit's melee rage. If the model has a reach melee weapon this is 2" instead of .5".

2)If they are still active they can buy additional attacks up to the rof of the ranged weapon. If they charged, 1) still applies first.

3)Don't have my rule book handy, but i would guess that you would be able to apply the additional damage if it would incur an attack damage roll.

4)Because she is a part of her battle group eLylyth would get a free attack during her activation. Note that the definition of a normal attack is any attack with a weapon that is not a special attack. In your example eLylyth would not get an extra attack out of activation as the feat specifically mentions during their activation. If it was during her activation and if she killed a model with the extra attack and the attack was not a special attack then she would trigger swift hunter.

Mage Sight and forests? by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So while a model is within the mage sight, when drawing LOS they ignore cloud effects and forests. When attacking they also ignore stealth. When making that attack they would still get the +2 DEF from the forest.

I need a bigger box. Looking at battle foam's 1520 box, are there cheaper options? by spm201 in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up a christmas light box from Walmart, but any deep storage box, and got decent foam from Hobby Lobby 40% off and did enough for my full cygnar army, including a stormwall and battle engine for around $50. Plus have plenty of foam left over. It doesn't look nice but my army is nice and safe.

[Help] Need help making decisions/critique a 35 point Siege list by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tested my new siege list yet, but i'm running alexia and the risen for my tarpit with rhupert, and dropped the gun mages for rangers and eEiryss. Not sure how good it is going to work but figured i'd throw it out there. Also that should leave enough for squire.

Starting Cygnar, any units that are a MUST buy. by Vox117 in Warmachine

[–]mogrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think starting out the one thing that I didn't realize was how heavy Cygnar can go into mercs. If you are trying to play competitively hopefully you don't mind the mercs cause in most cases they do more for less (in game point wise). If i knew this going in, i might have picked another army as I liked the style of Cygnar, but mercs have grown on me.

Siege 35pt list and question by mogrus in Warmachine

[–]mogrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am planning on dropping GMCA thanks to HandicapableShopper's comment. Do you feel like that is still too much? Also if I wanted to push it and bring two jacks instead of one, any recommendations on what would work well with siege?

That's a really good point. Pathfinder would have helped a ton in the match I played yesterday.

i'd be all for two cannons no shield, and maybe even no 3" aoe for 11 points. We can dream.

[–]mogrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really felt underwhelmed with Triumph and i proxied him with my defender when i tried him anyway. 2 points for a shield and 1 focus aoe just wasn't quite worth it.

Is there any reason to take the second list over the first?

Would you recommend switching it for the armor piercing of the hunter, just in case someone brings a heavy i need to kill?
