Epic Borka

Start the rumor mill folks. Borka's concept art has been leaked and he's everything I ever wanted in life... In all seriousness though I don't see how this could be bad in any way possible. So let's hear it... I want to hear your wild speculation on what he does!

  1. I wish a feat like this one (I don't think it's unbealivable) :
    Feat : Every friendly model in Borka's CTRL gains stumbling drunk.

    2. I don't care about competitiveness, fun is everything ! :D
      And I don't think it would be so bad :).

  2. Bolas same as pendrake ..mace reach with knock back and bear claw,claw, bite P+S = 14,14,12. With lugs' animus as a spell just some wild speculation ....

  3. The bear will have a Pow 15 bite and possible Pow 12 claws.

    Borka will have his same weapon and instead of a thrown bomb will have Bolas the same as pendrake. Borka will also have an affinity with Rok that makes Rok have reach on his attacks and keeps his animus from making him enrage on his next turn.

    Because Borka is on a mount he will still be Fury 5 but have an inherent ability that doubles his normal CTRL range. (so 20 inches)

    Feat - "Maul" - Models in Borkas CTRL range that charge this turn gain double damage on their charge attack roll.

    As far as spells go? No clue, hopefully something that plays to his strengths of running units and maybe something special for mounted units. Maybe a spell that gives you a small bonus to speed and defense for a turn that you charge?

    I could see this feat being a lot of fun and useful...Very competitive.

    1. Correction what I meant for the feat was "double the damage in excess of the targets armor"

      So like if youre Pow 15 rolling against armor 20 on your charge, your 3 damage dice lets say equals up to 12. So you would do 14 damage (Dice minus 5 is 7...7 doubled is 14)

  4. Drunk driving, unit can change direction unlimited times when charging, slaming or trampling as longs and he moves towards his target.

  5. Does this mean we'll see a trollblood bear cavalry in the near future? As in a double kit including this unit and the longriders.

  6. This is Privateer Press we're talking about, not Games Workshop. We won't see a double kit in a long time from now. ;)

    'Drunk Driving' sounds like a real fun and unique type of feat, that would stay in line with his current +2" Move. We already see the Arm exceeding/halving feats on Sorscha & Siege respectively - not much fun there. Stumbling drunk could be interesting, but such a huge waste of time with all those random movements going on...

    As for spells, I Really hope the Trolls can finally get their hands on Defenders Ward! (Though perhaps not very likely...) And then likely some kind of movement buff, if it's not in the feat. Leash could be interesting, and I could really see him dragging one his dire's after that bear of his... Or why not Windrush, to have that big bear rampaging across the field in a tornado of destruction? Would suit Borka's 'in your face' style very well, with the DEF boost to boot!
    Then possibly some offensive spell with stationary or knockdown effect, unless he got this on his new 'bola'...

    I think I've heard this 'eBorka on a f'ckin Polar Bear!' so many times over the years, that I was actually pretty sure this picture was just a scam when I first saw it... Perhaps someone listened to the troll community for once? ;) (Where's our 3pic tho...?)

    1. The Wardens and Champions are a dual kit, and lately plastic 'jacks and beasts, both light and heavy como in dual and triple kits.

      As for the rules, I'm sure the Bolas will have somo flavor of knockdown, the mace will retain it's rules (or impove them), and the keg bearer will be lost.

    2. Warders and Champions aren't a dual kit, they are completely separate products. I recently built the Warders, and I definitely didn't have any left over pieces.

  7. I'm just hoping he isn't a battle engine like lylith 3. Pre deploying your caster really sucks & having it so that they can always be targeted by range attacks is just sad.

    1. no way this will be a huge base, otherwise that's one gargantuan sized bear Borka's tamed...

  8. Bolas? How come everyone just stops at bolas? Those bad-boys are EXPLODING bolas!! Knock down and continuous fire AOE! The bear will have snacking, and Borka will be fury 6.
    Oh and that giant hand that Schick tweeted earlier? New Keg Bearer.

  9. He doesn't have bolas, he carpet bombs like madhammer :)
