Privateer Press Doing It Right

Correct me if I'm wrong, Kov, but the Bastions are also in plastic, yes?

Correct

Sure are, REALLY easy to assemble, but doesn't give much options for the pose (3 poses on 5 models i think), and the swords are ridiculusly thin and prone to warping. I've been told that afer 15 seconds in a hot water bath they will go back to the original cast, but I haven't tried yet.

Also, It should be said that Cinerators are considered sub-par by most of the community. They are slow heavy troops whose special ability only mitigate their weakness once they have been damaged. Compared to the Bastion, they lose Reach, which really limits their threat range. But contrarily to Bastions, a 3 man squad isn't a bad idea (Bastions need a 5 man squad to take full advantage of the wound allocation rule, while Cinerators loose nothing going down to 3)

That said, I love the models, and I NEED 3 medium bases to screen Reznik.

OH. Should mention that all Exemplars (except for their leader, Kreoss, yeah, go figure...) are Weapon Masters, which mean they all get to add a D6 (so 3D6 instead of 2D6) to all their damage rolls. It's a good thing to have ^^

Damn. Cygnar really needs me some Weapon Masters....

Doom Reavers are part of what convinced me to go with khador...what 'reach' and an extra damage die - holy crap!

[wittdooley]

Not to mention they get that attachment that makes them immune to magic. They wreck my face all the time...

Granted I’ve only gotten a handful of games in yet, but these guys have yet to disapoint.

Last game they willed a cryx jack (and a few of themselves) the remaining dude got into combat with my opponents caster – I wiffed on my turn. Then my opponent, with about 85-90% health decides to leave combat granting me the ‘free strike’ – camping full focus

My remaining doom reaver hits, its (dice – 10), I roll 5, 5, 6, 6. = 12 damage: Takes him down to 1 health point left! I know it was a lucky roll, but wow!

That's why I never walk away from weapon masters

[wittdooley]

I'm trying to think if my Cygnar have any Weapon Master units.... I know there's a solo or two that are, but units?

IIRC My Trollblood Champions are Weapon Masters.

If you can tell, I don't use lists with my Weapon Master models in it....

@Witt

I don't play Cygnar, but IIRC you don't have any weaponmaster units.

I think the closest you get is the Precursor Knights with UA - the UA grants them a minifeat which is essentially powerswell.
