I feel like the Gorgons need a bit more support to get them to that faithful 8v8 whilst still playing with just one faction, and I just wanted to suggest some ideas I've had.

- Apep/Apophis
- it would be interesting to have a god/monster from Egyptian myth instead of Greek and roman.
- the connection between an Egyptian chaos god represented by a snake and the Greek monsters of myth is an obvious connection.

-Delphi / The Delphic Oracle / Python
- the connection between these people/creatures and the Gorgons are clear in their myth and Lore.
- it would transition smoothly into the Gorgons because of their similarities in lore and their deep ties in the Greek myth.

Just a couple of ideas to help support my favourite ludus


Thanks for reading this post, tell me what you think and what the ideas need, because they are very rough right now.

How do the Gorgons hold up currently in 6v6 play?

They aren't that bad, but the majority of players and tournaments around my area only host/play 8v8 and i want to join whilst still having the Ludis effects.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever played a full on 8 v 8 game. In fact we play mostly 5 v 5 and only move up to 6 when some player wants to use the Gorgons.

I doubt official rules will ever be made to add a fourth Gorgon as historically there were only three sisters so thematically that t would not make sense. Maybe you can add a House Rule to allow you to field additional models to field 8 while keeping the ludus benefits of the Gorgons (asking as you use all 6). I don't think that would be very unbalanced as the benefits only impact the sisters themselves and wouldn't add anything to the extra models.

i know there wont actually be any support, but a man can hope XD

The reason I asked is that the Adepticon tournament had 6v6 (I believe). Being new, and only observing, I thought that was the standard. Can you add beasts to the Gorgon ludus?

in theory yes, but the Gorgons card specifically states that to have access to the Ludus effects you have to have a Cohort with only the three gorgons, no more, not less.

Ok thanks. I don't have the Gorgons, yet, buy love the models and concept so that clears some questions I had. Thanks.

OH SHIT, they replied XD and gave a bit of spoilers too!

Achievement unlocked! Nice!
