Happy HORDES day everyone!!! ;D
Oh, and a happy day it is. After all the wait, it's finally here. I picked up my copy of Primal and my starter box last night (our flgs is open til after midnight...) and from what I've seen so far it has been worth the wait in every way. Can't wait to put these bad boys into the mix!

Happy HORDES day indeed, I had a tremendous time at the release event...although I did notice that us circle players got kinda screwed on our box set. Looking at the win/loss records out of the 3 circle players we won a total of 1 game...and it was against another circle player (namely me). Despite that though its a kickass game and im gonna love collecting the rest of my faction. Oh, on a final note. How borken is that monster hunter guy?  I'm gonna need him. |

Yes, indeed Hordes is amazing. I though am too poor to get a box set but thats ok since I keep changing factions in my mind.
Sorry on the box set for Ciricle. I have actally heard this complaint alot with a PG thread that went some like "How can you win with circle" Either way, things will change. I sure hope you got the 2nd caster (Bauldar?) becasue he is a crazy son of a bith. Once the Woldwatchers and woldwardens come out its a different story. The Woldwarden's are crazy. Lucky they are soxpenisve point wise so I am not fighting like 12 of them, like those fuckking Legion warbeasts.
The monster hunter is so freaken wrong. And I love how we can take him in our WM armies (except for Cryx) so we can WTFPWN all the warbeasts we play against then too.

I disagree with people about the quality of the circle box set. It was equally matched in terms of power and ability to all the other boxes. Kaya has alot of good spells and is the only warlock played with 6 fury. The spirit door spell makes it so she is never by her self. The army is extremely fast, and can block holes as well as counter attack effectivily. The argus are able to keep other large warbeasts at bay with their dopplar bark, and still pack a punch. And the warp wolf...well hes a beast. The circle box was alot like the skorne box. 1 big guy and 2 smaller guys plus a weak, but hard to hit caster. Kaya boosts her warbeasts abilities with her pack hunter ability, and she can use rager to give a free power attack plus make both normal attacks. Makes her warbeasts hit really hard. It may have been that because that none of the circle models had ranged non magical attacks, so they got kinda beat up. But I would put their box up against any of the others that were released.

Good points. I mean, I thinks its a matter of perceptive. I think the Cryx box set was kinda weak myself but its not to say it really is. I mean spells and feats can really change how it plays out. So perhaps I stand corrected. :-p

I dunno jake, although you do make many good points as to kayas effectiveness. She really needs more than just three warbeasts to work right. If those were 500 pt battles and I had a few more argus's on the table there is no doubt in my mind that that pack hunter ability would have come in handy. But with just the three the packhunter thing was less than effective.
Cant wait for baldur though, him and those watchers make the old witch's teleportation ability look like a cute little parlour trick.

Didn't the 2nd caster and the Totem hunter all come out at the same time or was it that you (like the rest of us) are too poor?

An little fact I would like to point out. Circle has won a little over 20% of the Unleashed events as reported by Press Ganger with over 100 replies (therefore n>30, so it approaches a normal distrubtion). Given that even would be 25% I would say that its not that terriably balanced at all.
At since I am sure you are wondering the others...
Skorne ~24%
Circle ~21%
Legion ~30%
Trolls ~26%
Those are rounded up so yes I know they don't add to 100%

we werent allowed to use the second caster or totem hunter, tom changed his mind at the last minute due to the inherent borkenness of the totem hunter and the low number of them that millenium actually had in stock.

also in reading the forum posts about Kaya, her spirit door ability seemed to make for a great assassination ability...charge the warlock and try to knock him down with your weapons crit effect, then spirit door the warp wolf in combat with the lock, and if hes still standing up in his back arc and then go to town on him. Sounds like a good way to get stuff done, especially if u use the argus for interference. Although i agree with dan, kaya does need more back up, however she is most deffinatly not defenseless.
