The rule of cool. Because this game has a solid set of rules you can almost field what ever combination you like and still have a great time. So I have a tendency to field the models I like looking at most.
With the Burn It Down motivation the wording is ‘while in contact with an Objective you control’.
That means that all Bryan had to do was place his ShellCracker into base contact with the objective and Justin would not have been able to interact with it as he would not have been ‘in control’ of it.
Gonna have to look into the “Sea” guy`s, i`m liking the look of the “Shark`s”. May look into getting a set, just for the painting side.
Really like the look of these models .
Justin… ya got to use Bloodmasks right 🙂 They’re you’re tanks – and designed to be in a shieldwall/phallanx formation. When you didn’t even bother to knockback…ugh
Ashmen –> Solo fighters, spread them out and get that sweet OM bonus on attacks/parry/death.
Bloodmask –> Group fighters, bunch them up to form shieldwalls and knockback enemy formations.
and keep the Rathor safe behind the Bloodmasks lobbing magic over their heads
A question: I notice sometimes when rolling multiple attacks that the lower dice are ignored and sometimes are not. Is this due to multi- wound models surviving and all dice have to be resolved? Single wound models are already dead so ignore any lower results?
The Nasier Ashmen have an ability called Offensive Mastery. Their melee attack rolls one dice but if they are the only Nasier engaged with that enemy model they can roll two dice then discard one. The Ashmen leader, called a Hakar, has the same ability but doesn’t care if there are more Nasier engaged with the enemy model.
That looks great!
