Hordes Field Test
Okay so the Hordes Field Test was supposed to end on the 18th but has now been extended to around mid January. We have the original test cards as well as three updates to the cards. So does anyone have any thoughts about them?
For me the big thing is the fact that it looks like we will be getting minion warlocks that will allow us to play all minion armies, just like mercs. The second big thing is that in the lastest model update on 12/17 for Rorsch it says that instead of only having Brine in his battlegroup it states Farrow warbeasts and for Wrong Eye it states that he can have Gatormen Warbeasts in his battlegroup not just Snapjaw.
Cool as that sounds I don't think having more than one warbeast on a 3/4 Fury Warlock is a terribly good idea...
Wait I play Trolls. Nevermind.
Humor aside, I think reserving most of the in-depth discussion for the PP forums is a better idea, as they can see it and take it into account. Over there I'm known as GrimmerOengus.
On a general level though, I'm personally very pleased with the way things are shaping up. There are still a few issues I have... but the ability to have a STR 17 Warbeast for my faction? Oh yes...
I'm loving it myself. The fact that PP is getting back to us with new updates to try is very cool. It really looks like they are trrying to get things perfect.
Not a fan of some of it, big fan of other things...but in the end, I think we'll be looking at some near perfection.
And I am ALL OVER a gatormen army. Heck with that silly Retribution...I want gaters!
