[LizardTau]

im going to try to make this one

[Jack Shrapnel]

further info:

Bring 3 different lists – you will play each list once. You will get a comp score based on how different your lists are from each other!

[thesanityassassin]

Hmm....I....don't really like that, I won't lie. I pretty much have one list at this point.

[LizardTau]

yeah i dont have a lot so my list are going to have at least some of the same units unless i can proxy, not that i play on winning since i have only played one warmachine game and it wasnt with this army lol

Have to agree there. Other than changing my warcaster I have very little in the way of actual units for my Cygnar which means all of my lists will be almost identical which means right off the bat I'm losing comp because I haven't bought a ton of models.

3 different lists is quite a few. I know I can manage at least 2, but the third one will require some more things. Do you mean different Warcaster or what? What constitutes a different list?

[keeler]

Actually, not that it matters to some - but Mike indicated that the lists don't even have to be the same faction, which is a bit of a neat twist. He is a business, and obviously it is in his interest to sell models, so it benefits him to some extent.

For those using one army, you will likely be well practiced and the comp scores might not matter if you can kick but with your normal arrangement.

Its not perfect, but it is also unlikely that someone is going to have 105pts complete / well painted and scores will likely be lost here as a result for the people picking up points in list building. 35-50pts seems much more manageable in that regard.

LOL I wish. I've played maybe a dozen games so far which is part of the reason I only have a limited amount of models.

[magictripe]

Then play...more? Though the possibility of using other factions is pretty neat. With that in mind most people should be able to make 3 lists of some sort. As for all painted though... :c

[redshirt2375]

I'm okay with 3-lists, it's just the comp score is based on how different they are. So basically those of us who haven't been able to build huge armies or purchase multiple ones are going to be at a huge disadvantage right off the start.

As for playing more, well that ties into the reason I also haven't bought more.....a girlfriend who really dislikes my gaming At this point Tournaments are about the only times I can get down to game anymore.

On the painting front, I'm actually almost done my first Warjack I'm might even be able to get a 2nd one done by the end of the month

[Jack Shrapnel]

well I'm down to one army and only have two casters for it... so it's not likely that my lists will be that different from one another either... just going to have to wing it with what I've got and have fun...

... oh and I never came up with that weird twist either... that was all Mike

[calitom]

I don't like it, yes Mike is a business- but I know most of us have been trying to get down to one army or two at most and to get some stuff painted and this doesn't really help that- automatically being down comp hurts enough for me not to want to go just because of this fact. My interest in getting a painted warmahordes army is low enough as it is.

[thesanityassassin]

Hmm...if I can possibly hold on to the Menites until the end of the month I could do 3 factions....probably eSkarre, eSeverius and Shae....2 times the pirate, 2 times the fun!
