    Damnit... the 1 focus to stand up is upkeep phase only. Boomhowler could have hollered at Stryker, since his howls are "target unit" but it doesn't matter. I killed everything but Haley so she just walked up and arcane bolted what was left of Stryker into oblivion.

    Given that I just finished painting Stormy and am generally proud as all get out ofc I'm gonna drag it out whenever I can! Besides I have a stupid number of Hunters lying around. The guy I split my army with has plenty of options for returning the damage.

    Like I said, just messing with you. Just bad luck on your part your army's centerpiece model makes such a large percentage of the player base super grumbly.

    Still doesn't work, unfortunately.

    Boomhowler calls are for the unit only. The call itself says "knocked down models in this unit in formation immediately stand up" the portion about model/unit on his card is about friendly faction model/units can only be affected by one howl a turn and they aren't friendly faction to Stryker either way.

    Probably more accurate to say Stormwall and Galleon to a lesser extent than all of them.

    This is a very interesting thread on the PPS forums:

    http://privateerpressforums.com/show...On-Gargantuans

    Towards the end of the first page, someone breaks down the number of Gargossals used in the 320 lists at the WTC:

    Gargossal:Player ratios

    Stormwall:Cygnar 25:21
    Galleon:Mercs 4: 4
    Mammoth:Skorne 6:11
    Conquest:Khador 6:12
    Hyperion:Retribution 5:11
    Judicator:Protectorate 7:19
    Woldwrath:Circle 5:20
    Kraken:Cryx 6:25
    Archangel:Legion 1:24
    Mountain King:Trollbloods 0:11

    Of the 21 Cygnar players, there are 25 instances of Stormwall. That means there are more Stormwalls being used than Cygnar players.

    Stormwall is the exception to the rule.

    Wow this got off track... good to know that the crew around here though is pretty laid back with it. I don't mind a little competition, but WAC makes my mind melt.
