faction or caster?

[Dungeon Lord]

Another Cygnar player?? I chose them because I thought there weren't many around. But there seems to be a lot! Not complaining of course. Just surprised

[Gannon]

Oh don't worry, I think we're just lucky to have so many Cygnar players. No one else here ever wants to play Cygnar, they all go for Legion (cheesy).

[Colonel Voss]

dumb question but where is here?

[Gannon]

Not dumb, I'm not sure if I ever clarified. I'm down in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Stationed at the Marine Base down here. And no we are not the ones who are causing all the drama between the Japanese Govt. and US.

[Colonel Voss]

well looks like cygnar reigns surpreme in Japan.

seems like faction is going to be the winner. With me the lone caster player. I don't play enough to worry about the faction and as we're playing 25 or 35 pnts mostly, that's fine to build up caster only forces. have two or so casters from a faction and you get a good variety. if I can get more games in, then I have a few ways to go towards faction. then again minions are so small, building a faction from there will be easy

I'm not quite following your logic, vossy. Surely having a single caster, plus one or two more is pretty much the same thing as choosing a faction? Or by faction do you mean "pirate zombie cryx", rather than just "cryx"?

[Colonel Voss]

lets see here, I can muster the following

Khador
p/e Sorscha
e Irusk
Zerkova

Circle
p Kaya
Mohsar

Retribution
Ravyn

Minions
Barnabus

I think there is a difference between picking a caster or two in a faction and picking the faction overall.

[me_in_japan]

Ah by "pick a caster over a faction" you mean "can't decide on a faction so choose them all"

By comparison, I have

Cryx
Morty
Coven
Scavvy
Denny (bought cos she was dead cheap from maelstrom)

Trolls
Gunnbjorn
eHoarluck
Madrak (bought cos he was dead cheap from maelstrom)

Thus I claim 2 factions, altho truth be told my trolls were pretty much all bought cheap/donated by badruck. I like the models, and will paint em one day, but the likelihood of them hitting the tabletop is very low. I can live with that, tho
