Hard to get enough stuff to justify them I think. They'll only control so much of the board. I do think more solos would be good though, karax UA probably isn't necessary.

With no pathfinder and few skorne casters who can give pathfinder being not the current preferred choices I can't see the need for more than one in a list

If they miss, you can't cut them in half with retaliatory strike! I've been playing a lot of double Champ lists and they live through some stupid stuff: charges from heavies, casters, it's good.

edit: So I'm thinking of packing my bag and trying to sneak in a few Skorne games here and there before the school year really heats up. I bought Morghoul3 ages ago and never got around to playing him. I'm probably going to pair it with Morghoul1 in that Masters of Agony theme for armor cracking while Morghoul3 is my more attrition scenario game.

I'm not really sure what Battlegroup to give him so I stayed pretty minimal and focused on keeping Morghoul alive. After that, its Nihilators (with Occulation) and Keltarii (with Apparition) in the front lines. The Bloodrunners may hang out behind or sneak up the side depending and the Legends of Halakk are behind the front line waiting for the feat turn to get up to no good. The rest is pretty bog-standard support. I have no idea what this will look like on feat turn other than making my opponent's battlelines a mess and looking for a good place to land the assassination. Marketh being able to throw out his Blind spell seems, or juggle a buff, seems like a good idea.

All I gotta say is that my first game with Morg 3 was against Circle and the units (name escapes me right now) that gets boosted attacks against units with upkeep spells. It did not end well for me. Watch out for those matchups when you bring out Morg 3.

Because sometimes you need 36 tough, no-knockdown bodies that knock you down when you manage to kill them. And that auto-hit and swing twice, for good measure. Backed up by some strong anti-magic tech and the game's new single best beater, who counter-charges.

The damage output on fire of salvation is frigging insane even before you factor in the choir. Hand of fate is such a dirty effect, and then you add in dispel...

Like, without any support, on a charge he deals about 27 damage to a Khador jack, and is more likely to skew higher than he is to skew lower. On a walk-in he's doing 29ish. Add battle and those change to 35 and 37, respectively. All with a 1/216 chance to actually miss an attack! This loving guy!

He's also hitting def 16 on average and he's hitting def 17 52% of the time.

When he isn't, you know, auto-hitting under Kreoss2.

Have faith. I did the same thing at the end of the Mk3 with Cygnar. I was exhausted with Mercs in tournaments and felt like I was working twice as hard for half as much power. I bought this big Cygnar army from a friend and a few months later, Mark 3 is announced. Between learning and loving Mercs again, learning Skorne twice over with the erratas, and getting back in GW a bit, that army has sat in the closet, never played.

Worst yet, my cat knocked it off the shelf so I need to do repairs for a good chunk of it before I would even be able to get started.

That poor, dumb army is never going to see the light of day.

On a serious note having Menoth back in a strong position in the metagame is going to be really good because it preys on boogie man poo poo. Haley3/Sloan pairing, Grymkin, etc are going to have to readjust, which will really help everyone else out.

Also, I hear tell mercs with the Ranking Officer count towards free models now?

If so add Vilmon for Righteous Vengeance on those Champions.

Edit:

So yeah, I found Pagani confirming it.

Faithful masses is the ONLY theme list were mercs attached to a ranking officer, in this case the Attendant Priest, count towards theme benefits.
