This + Troop Transport...
Really looking forward to trying this out in Worr.
It is another tank. I think there is space for this in a Maksim deck to get some tokens in play. Seems like a deal considering you get a 2/4 and two 1/2s.
Honestly, it's good enough to be worth consideration in every AM warlord.
Straken boosts the Guardsmen, while Coteaz is getting disposable bodies to feed his hammer.
If you want to go ham with Guardsmen spam, you should definitely give this a look.
Yeah, true!
All AM warlords are getting some good out of this unit.
(Sentimental Marine) Gorzod gets Guards eh?
Not this time, it's loyal
The problem with good loyal cards is not "It is good for Worr," so much as it is difficult to actually make a card for Worr because Worr's ability is phenomenal, always a buff, and hard to have a drawback to. On a green planet? Get stronger. Did Worr jump with you? No retreating. Are you his signature squad? It's the most efficient unit in the game.
Any unit that you can put on a green planet is inherently better for Worr. Any unit that brings multiple bodies is inherently better for Worr because, on a green planet, this card is essentially a +3 attack spread over three bodies.
Either way, judging a Loyal Card for not being good with Gorzod is dumb, because Loyal Cards cannot jump into another deck anyway and is intended for A.M. warlords.
LoricatusLupus I'm surprised. A 2/4 tank plus two 1/2 units at a planet for 4 cost seems pretty good for Maksim to me. Yeah Maksim is not the AM warlord for a weenie swarm deck (or token synergy), but having some tokens in there will help free up deck slots. It would have been nice if it was a 5 cost Elite with slightly beefier stats such that it could benefit from the Elite support package Maksim is likely to include, but I guess we can't have everything.
I really want to try this in Straken, but I've been so burnt over the life of this game by playing Straken that I'm gun shy about making a deck for that guy again
I still don't like Hellhounds, but I can understand why people are including them. I think this is a much better 4 cost slot include. My take was going the SM route and I'd much rather take Tac Squad Cardinis at two cost than the Hellhound. I think that might explain our very different opinions.
Add: The fact that it produces Guardsman tokens is probably precisely the reason it's loyal. I don't think there has been any non-loyal card that allows for Guardsman token generation out of AM.
Ah yes, the Zarathur problem. Every card simply does more damage with Warlord X. Worr is even better (worse?) about it, since he doesn't even have to be present.
