ETC Pre-event stats (Page 1 of 2)

Hordes looking particularly under represented.

Shows how many people don't like the hordes PDFs. Once the cards come out bet the faction swing will change.

With that taken into account, shows how broken trolls are!

I fixed that for you

I am a little shocked that Khador are top .. ok by one, but I would have bet a ton of cash it would have been Cryx.  Maybe its becasue people jumped on the MK1 Khador are bent band wagon ... or maybe new players like the look of them.   They have a good solid selection of Warcasters, none stand out as mega-awesome must use only type casters ... which is good as it keeps people on their toes.

Apart from that the numbers don't shock me, except the Retibution ... nice to see more than of them about, as it was a shame there was only 1 at the Masters.

Although I'm still rather new to warmachine I think the attraction to Khador is in part because they are a nicely straight-foward faction. It's generally quite easy to see good uses for most of the units whilst still having some good tricks. The jacks are rock hard which can dish out significant pain and despite only mediocre MAT and RAT they've plenty of ways of ensuring attacks hit.

Lastly Khador have mostly upfront casters who can take a hit or too without croaking.

Certainly this was my assessment of the faction when I looked at it.

I also think that for this tournament in your face lists appeal more due to the scenarios and only one list. (First time I've ever come across a game where people took more than one list to most tournaments.)

I look forward to the rundown of which casters are being used. (I myself am using Lt [or p] Caine.)

Thats not the worst summary I've ever seen but people are often quick to miss out that all their up-front power is paid for by the fact that on the whole they have less tricks to pump out than other factions and at times have nothing else to rely on than their brute force. For me this is what I love about them anyway because it forces you to get creative and it forces you to HAVE to play more ballsy instead of hiding behind (insert other faction jab here).

Yeah thats a little trick I like to call 'cheating'

Yep you should know, thats a standard part of the force now rich

For all the tricksy forces that you can play, this game just lends itself to smashing face and few do it better than Khador!!

No Cygnar or Menoth Theme lists? That's interesting.

Purely for my own amusement, how about number of "pure" lists (i.e., in faction-only, no mercs/minions)?
