Gunfighter Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 shouldn't pirate have a SA? Nope, the Pirate or Mercenary force already has a great advantage in being able to use any vehicle AND its inherent SA's. In other words a Rhino, Ogre and Emperor in the same platoon get to use ALL the normal SA's on the vehicle data sheet they just don't get the "faction" SA. Giving Mercenaries a Faction SA on top of the ability to use any "unit" SA would be a mistake IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseyjoe Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I don't play CAV but it doesn't sound like something akin to "scoundrel's luck" would be out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mughzee Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I don't think they should be able to get a Faction SA either....Just new to playing, but being able to play an cav is a SA in itself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Sinners Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 And that is?? Its the ability to reroll three dice during a game. Its from Warlord (You know that other game from Reaper ) To be eligible to get it though, you have to field Orba the mercenary Warlord and only models from the merc roster. You also get to select one data card from any Faction to be included in yer fighting company (Change of Heart). The reason this doesn't work for CAV is the simple fact that Merc aren't a Faction like they are in Warlord. Now if there was actual models made for Merc then we might see them get faction abilities. This is something I'd like to see done in the future. I figure by the middle of the 2nd GW many of the factions will start hiring merc again on larger scale. I could see a faction book for Merc that would list different merc company that would have different Models available to them as will as different Faction abilities. For Example: the Red Spades would have excess to H-M models along with the core merc model as well as some minor faction ability like Scoundrel's luck.

Chrome Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I figure by the middle of the 2nd GW many of the factions will start hiring merc again on larger scale. Not even close to what's going on with mercs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperbryan Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I disavow all knowledge of anything Chrome has ever said, or that I have ever said to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Sinners Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I disavow all knowledge of anything Chrome has ever said, or that I have ever said to him. I knew it. I know most of the larger well known merc companies are to be absorbed by the larger Faction. I still can't see all of them being done away with. Even if the Pysro show up and pound on them, I can't see mercs disappearing completely. They are kind of like cochroaches after all. And as long as there is a t-red to be made there will be thoughs who will be there to sell their services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Even if the Pysro show up.. This is what I'm curious about. There has been precious little comment on the Psyros and their role in the 2nd Galaxy War. I discovered CAV right as the 2nd version started closed beta so the Psyro have always been somewhat of an unknown quantity to me. Will they have a place in the 2nd Galaxy War or are they going to fade off into the darkness of the galaxy to return later as VEGER (wait a minute, getting my continuities crossed, not as bad as crossing the streams but still bad).

Inquisitior Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Indeed, I too was wondering what was going to happen to the Pysro with the upcoming addition? Will they perhaps become a playable faction made during some campaign? Will they be like (I'm so sorry) GW's 40k Tyranid or Necron race? Or will they stay as a little teaser faction?

Saint of Sinners Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The Killer Toaster Ovens will most likely be a rogue faction in the 2nd GW. And will most likely spread like cancer across the galaxy. If for no other reason then 5 of the 6 factions won't get head out of the sand long enough to realize the true threat to the peace and prosperity of the universe is.
