Yeah, I know it's glorified IRC, but all the cool kids are doing it.

My list so far was going double Soldier. Sad thing is, he can't bring along Zaadesh1 to play Rushbot.
Levi Smith
Yeah, he doesn't (yet?) have a world-beater build like Una2, and has a few holes in his plan, but with everyone loving gunlines, I think he's going to be good.
Also re: Soldiers countercharging, with the new infernal ruling on melee range being 360 degrees, a countercharging Soldier can -- if the stars are in alignment -- countercharge into something's back arc after a charge, pull it out of engagement range with its original charge target, and leave it with nothing to attack, at the cost of a free strike into its ARM 23 (or 25 if IRed).
It could do it before if the other guy left it wide open, but now you can charge past something better.
And double Soldiers means this might actually happen at some point in real life.

Non-warmahordesfag here, I heard that this latest edition was pretty much universally reviled by warmahordes players. Is this true, and if so, why?
Alexander Bennett
Because its not quite balanced. Some factions are significantly better than others. And some of the decisions for development leave people scratching heads with how retarded they were.
Jonathan Cruz
It's less that the edition was reviled and more that PP has had some of the shittest PR possible in the last year.
Just about everything they could have done wrong, short of straight up insulting their fan base, they've managed to accomplish.
The edition is generally better, though not by leaps and bounds, and there's some pretty big(and baffling) holes.
Skorne, the ur-example, was a mid-low tier faction in Mk2, and in Mk3 they've been almost universally nerfed.
PP has been making some headway in repairing their rep, but they're at a point where the next errata in Jan has a lot of shit riding on it. It might make or break the game as a big time thing.
Jose Perez
It's quite rushed and not very well balanced. Ask again in a year when things hopefully have stabilized.
Eli Rodriguez
Huh, and I thought it had something to do with allowing pre-measuring. I figured more would be pissed about it.
Austin Ramirez
>Huh, and I thought it had something to do with allowing pre-measuring. I figured more would be pissed about it. That's pretty well-received actually. Even by people like me who really didn't want it at first.
