Thanks for covering these guys, even though they feel very meh to me. Eagerly waiting for the other half of the box.

I’m definitely picking up this set. The sylvaneth half looks cool too. I think I’m going to run: -2 leaders. 1 with ferocity and 1 with situational blessing. -4 goat headed prowlers -2 direwolves proxied with prowlers without horns (I was hoping the different heads would have different stats/abilities, but this works.) Makes a cool little hunting party. Probably not the strongest list, but I need a somewhat weaker list to play friends with. Great video! Can’t wait for the sylvaneth video.

Artery Severing Strike is one of those abilities I think will be incredible… assuming you have a good enough triple. Lob a beast into their big thing, or their killy thing, and they have two choices. Take up to 12 damage and be incredibly sad (possibly even dead), or wait it out and do nothing for a whole turn. This feels a little bit like Bone on FEC, only less reliable. It’s also uniquely outstanding against monsters. 18 potential damage on a monster, once you factor in the damage on your attack action, is almost halting their wounds and bracketing them twice… which is incredible. I see myself rolling with this whenever I see a chance to pull it off. You get value no matter what they do, which is awesome.

You generate wild dice through sheer force of will. The rest of us actually have to use abilities

I have to disagree with you about flying: I think it's most impactful on fighters with low Move. A M10 can usually get to where they want to go whether or not they are flying, while a M4 or M5 flier is noticeably more mobile than a fighter with the same Move but without flying. Being able to fly over obstacles or to go on top of 3"- or 4"-tall terrain is really big. I still don't think the Harpies are that good, and I do think they should be faster, though.

I don't know if it's an attempt to keep the points down or something but they did it with Pyregheists also having the low move and fly. The harpy isn't so good that it couldnt feasably have something like a 6 or 7" move and stay at the same points.

How is the order of the triple Artery Severing Bite? Cause if, lets say the enemy decides to attack and has 2 wounds remaining, can the enemy execute the attack before having to roll for the damage or after declaring an ability?
@OffMetaMusings3 ай бұрын
Because of the sequencing rules, your opponent will get to choose which order the abilities take place; "In most cases, rules will be resolved one at a time. However, from time to time, rules may appear to come into play at the same time and it may be unclear as to which is resolved first. If this occurs in the combat phase, the player whose turn it is to activate a fighter chooses the order in which the rules are resolved; in other phases, the player with the initiative chooses. In any other case, the players roll off and the winner chooses." So unless I'm mistaken; He will get to make the action and then choose to roll the dice for Artery Severing Bite afterwords because he controls the activating fighter.

I don't think the Eyes of Kratakos odds table is clear since it is one wild dice per 5+. When you roll 2 dice there is a .44 chance of getting 1 wild dice, and a .11 chance of getting 2. This means the EV(2) = 0.66 wild dice

I mentioned in the video that it was the chances of rolling at least one wild dice :)
