I was building a Marro-themed army, and just noticed something. Marrden hounds, with their Marro Plague, affect everything except Wulsinu and Soulborgs. Does that mean that their Marro comrades aren't safe either? Marro can contract the Marro Plague? I've checked the FAQ, and don't see anything saying one way or the other, so I assume the card's wording is complete as printed, and Marro-race figures are vulnerable. Can anyone offer confirmation, or evidence to the contrary?

Are they Wulsinu or Soulborgs? If no, they are affected by the plague.

I just noticed something else in the wording. The Plague says, and I quote, "Soulborgs and Wulsinu are not affected by this marro plague." Does it sound like there may be different ones coming later on?

Dear gosh, I hope not. And if there is, maybe it won't affect the castle door.
Btw, How'd your Marro army fair?

Haven't tried it yet. This is just for a test game, nothing big like tournament play or anything. The Hounds look like they'll work, though.

Birds can get Bird Flu, Marros can get Marro Plague. Them's the breaks.

Update: The Marro army did well. The Hounds kicked butt, at least until they died. Took out the DW8k, and it didn't even get a chance to fire back. They used their Pack Movement to dash across the battlefield and tore that robot apart. He didn't roll blanks, but the hounds still killed it and Guilty McCreech in one turn. I lost the battle, but inflicted heavy casualties in the process. James "Call me Charlie" Murphy took out 4 enemies (3 Marro Warriors and 1 Zettian Guard) with his shotgun blast, but the DW9k kept the Explosions coming, and I stayed clumped together like an idiot. Came down to Deadeye "Flip a coin" Dan trying to take out medium figures at range with his Ullar Enhanced Rifle Special Attack (it won't work if you don't say the full name) and whiffing each time. Sharpshooter my @$$. I was surprised at the DW9k's performance. It hit max damage with the Explosion attack twice in a row, and always rolled at least 4 shields on defense. Must be because I wasn't using it...

Speaking of Hounds and Soulborgs, I used the hounds with the Deathreavers tonight. It's hard to say how they did, because we had to call the game after a couple rounds (school night for the kids), but it looked like an annoying combo to play against.
