Thanks for the great descriptions Sandra.

I am pumped.

That's perhaps the greatest argument for fatherhood that I have ever seen. Enjoy Dad's Day!

It's been discussed before and I think the conclusion was that the last part of the marro names shows where they rank.

Na- male hivelord (examples Tor-Kul-Na, Su-Bak-Na)
Ga- female hivelord (Wo-Sa-Ga)
Sa- warlord (Me-Burq-Sa, Ne-Gok-Sa)
Shi- warwitch (Kee-Mo-Shi)
Ra- overlord (Tul-Bak-Ra)

So I'd bet that Tul-Bak-Ra is going to be a whole new class of marro. Hurray!

[Xn F M]

I don't think anyone has brought this up yet (in either thread) but could "-Ra" translate to femaile warlord? I know it says Tul-Bak-Ra is an overlord, but the package descriptions have been known to exaggerate in the past.

Sweet!

I'd guess the overlord is really a warlord, but that may just be wishful thinking. Transportation? I didn't think mobility was really a problem for the Marro. (Just wait until you see a horde of drones teleport right up to your start zone...)

I'm guessing the sketch we saw earlier was a divider?

Fun stuff. (Shouldn't this be in the 'News' section?)

'Marro overlord Tul-Bak-Ra uses his advanced alien powers...'

So not a female.

I said it in the other thread, and I'll say it again. Tul-Bak-Ra should be a giant brain monster overlord, because it would be awsome.

Another great thing about this announcement: they didn't waste efforts making pirates!

I couldn't agree more

I just don't see the marro as that mired down in bureaucracy.

Oh great, a common, ranged squad, with flying... hitting the other side of the board in on the first turn.
I smell overused already
Everything else sounds great though!

Well, they're crossbows, so they may be relatively short range. (Range 2?) Kyrie squads tend to be expensive, too; I'm guessing they'll fit right in.

[KCU Master 2007]

I would say they have a short range, possibly 4. Much more than that and they can become broken; much less and they might as well be melee. That's my 2 cents.

In other news though: my beloved Omnicrons just got stronger! It said that they have an ability to "shut down" the traitor soulborgs so maybe we have another effective Q9 counter? :crosses fingers:

[fomox]

I wonder if it will be "non-jandar" soulborgs or have other restrictions. I don't mind seeing Q9 and rats taking a hit in the metagame, but it's too bad the DWxK series would take the same hit.

(Actually, it probably wouldn't make them any less likely than they already are...i.e. not at all.)
