For added fun magisters have lost core as well. All so they could now be extra tied to the mouth frothing teutons in an era of stronger hacking. Santiago have no wildcard in profile either , but seem to have it listed in fire team list. Not sure what is right...
They count as Teutons, who have Core, I wonder if it allows full Magister link or not..... For sure they lost stealth, so now you fucking need that EVO or Santiago Tinbot. And yes you can now link OS HD, but as he lost Fairy Dust there is no point in taking him...
I'm still need to read the rules but so far, Stealth disappearing on Magisters, Montesa and Joan V2 put aside (we need to wait, it may be an error), I'm quite pleased by the changes. Things are smoother. You can now have a NCO Teuton with a Magister and a Medic if you want, or just two Magisters with him without being forced to get a second Teuton. De Fersen is a real boss. You can have a Hospitaller and and a Santiago KHD in a duo for minimal risk-maximum impact fireteam and things like that. The Montese Red Fury is also really nice to see. It'll need a lot of testing but all those are really promising. But I guess I'm the only one positive here, for a change.
"Tikbananas of Montesa" :D At least we still haven't yet our bike, but what a big knight in shining armor now for this Order!
And still stealth on the knight !!!! wtf !!! How does being a knight in a big armor swinging a sword around make you stealthy ? How does it make you immune to hacking as long as you are not shooting ? Seriously CB ? Seriously @Bostria ? Or is that god protection or something ? @ijw say something ! I'm off course simulating / faking my overreaction here but ... still ... I can't portray myself telling again to a new player "you can't hack my knight cause he is stealthy, m'kayyyyy ..."
It would be a great waste if he had any use of his (gone) WIP14, wouldn't he ? He also lost DA, because even Haqq must be better in CC than MO ^^
Am I reading too much into the "and up to 4" on the crusade fireteam? I always thought you had to have exactly 4 + Joan and that wording there would change it to any number + Joan.
Here's a small source of hope: Martial Arts Level 2 is now a huge break point, and a bunch of the PanO knights have it: Knights of the Holy Sepulchre Knights Hospitaler Knights of Justice Magister Knights Motorized Knights of Montesa MA2 now gives essentially the same benefits as old MA3, and all new MA3 and MA4 give compared to new MA2 is +1 and +2 damage, respectively. That feels like a small but sometimes relevant win for all of those MA2 knights. Not being abysmal in CC compared to the JSA samurai is a nice little improvement. Between that, the Order Sergeant/Trinitarian changes, and Hospitalers getting cheaper, I'm actually considering giving Military Orders another try in N4. They were my first faction, but I could never get past the fact that they weren't actually that good in CC, and now they're better!
Pretty much the first day I've been engaged since March and very very out of the loop, are Crusader Brethren gone?
Still in, still same (but lost HMG). Army seems to be bugged. But if you look at Raul pricing the poor Crusader could be as well as just deleted.
