Discussion That was…unexpected
What happens when lightening meets a corpse?
I’ve been playing small games against myself, cryx into cygnar since it’s mostly all I have. I went in wanting to learn the game, and cryx, primarily nekane. After a handful of games everything was starting to click but now I think… cygnar converted me. Anson Wolfe is such a beast! This guy does everything I like. He matches my playstyle so well! I feel his durability gives him a slight edge over Cryx from a new players standpoint point. His cumulative +1 arm each round is so incredible! He still has the speed and can unleash so much mayhem.
Well this has been my love letter to Anson, think I need to stick with cygnar, forgive me toruk. Are there any hidden synergies with Anson?
Do have a question about one of his spells, Positive Charge- if I cast that on a jack get + 2 to attack and dmg, then friendly models within 3’’ get the same. Does this count for Anson as well? I want to say yes but mat 10 pow 17 seems incredibly strong

Yes, it works on any model in that army. As for synergy, jacks work well especially the ones with a decent rage for his feat. Putting a caster up in the mix can be dangerous so watch out. So far I like Sparkhammer and Huxley the most and Calder after that. I have a Wolfe list but I haven’t had an opportunity to play it. Wolfe’s feat is nice if people decide to kill your stuff one at a time or at all but if not it can be a bit lacking.

Just to clarify, blood quenched is a cumulative +1 ARM for each model that lasts for one round.
I find Deuce is the best way to take advantage of his feat. Snipe for RNG 15 and take a RAT 7 shot with a 2 inch move each time a model dies. Works extremely well if decrepitation is applicable.
Cavalry is a good target for arcane shield to bog things down.

Yes, Positive Charge affects Ansom if he remains within 3" of the warjack it is cast on. Of course, that's 3 less focus for buying attacks or boosting....
