Warmachine Theme Highlight: The Faithful Masses
The THEMEPOCALYPSE has come to pass. Today we take a look and one of Menoth’s awesome new themes!
Menoth has a really cool new theme to spam some infantry with called The Faithful Masses. We take a look at the benefits and make a list using this cool new theme.
Faithful Masses Breakdown:
Units: While Deliverers and Zealots by themselves are nothing to rave about, Idrians are a great unit albeit a little pricey point wise. Whats cool about Faithful Masses is that merc units with a Priest making them faction does count towards the 20 points unlike some other themes.
Wall: The wall can be pretty big, especially with some of the heavier terrain we are seeing in steamrollers. You can daisy chain off another wall to provide big defense bonuses!
Hand of Vengeance: Menoth jacks never were really accused of being soft hitting. This opens the doors to some of the non mace wielding jacks to also hit hard! All of a sudden a Castigator can be scary too with this bonus.
75 Point Faithful Masses List:
This Malekus list loves Faithful Masses. It really can come out you from multiple angles. Eye of Truth makes the army ignore annoying buffs like Arcane Shield and also acts as an Arc Node for Scourge! Combined with Prey, Ignite, and Lady Aiyana the Idrians can threathen almost anything at ranged or in melee. The Revelator can see through stealth and can get an extra attack in with the open fire spell. Malekus also loves a wall to hide behind giving him some nice defensive boosts. The Faithful Masses lets this list get 2 free command attachments to the Idrians which normally is 10 more points. Also, Eye of Truth and the Revelator will hit hard as trucks if any of the Idrians near them go down.
