What I don't get is the cephalyx. You just like the models or am I missing something? e: forgot about psychic assault, which would work pretty well with scavvy's feat I guess. I was thinking you liked pinging things with anatomical precision or something  Maybe you can shoehorn in some drudges to take advantage of sac pawn? They suck though so probably not worth it.

They have eyeless sight and CMA they might be fun with your terrain and LOS shenanigans. Have you considered croe's cuthroats? I see people run them with scavvy for the extra die on back strikes thanks to telekenesis. I did have a silly notion of running cephalyx with eSkarre and pinging a jack with feedback on with their AP, but skarre doesn't offer them much else and she already has plenty of better choices. Disappointing PP aren't taking the cephalyx thing anywhere yet, the ominous rules about who they will group with and stuff could lead in cool directions.

I've thought about taking them instead of McThralls just because of tough + sac pawn for the overlords, but they end up having less staying power, which sucks. Croe is good with him, and either a reaper or malice is also a solid choice.

Circle/Hordes dudes: how many beasts do you usually take before adding in a Wilder? I am thinking that a Wilder may be nicer than a Blackclad in my Kromac list. I am running a Feral, Stalker and Gorax. Also, for Moshar players: do you think I need a geomancy beast or can I do with the same three beasts and use arc nodes?

I'd think eKrueger wouldn't need him as badly since he also works well with stalkers and ferals.

Some may prefer to run Mohsar troop heavy, but at 35 I run Mega+Stalker+Pureblood and at 50 I'll add in the Gorax. Whether or not you're fine without the Gorax depends a bit on your metagame; if you're facing 1-2 heavies, you're probably fine. If you're facing jack-heavy Menoth (and if their list doesn't just lose to Megalith's rough terrain), you need the Gorax.

Well Menoth's jacks in general aren't getting the alpha strike except with Harbinger, Thyra or Amon. Usually the strategy consists of taking the Charge and Enlivening away. So Megalith's Animus won't matter much when I'm 2-3" away.

Let's just say that I've had bad experiences against Harby in the past. Most other Menoth isn't as bad, but being out-threat-ranged is embarrassing (equal melee threats under Crusader's Call, but Menoth has guns). Doubly so when Harby can purify Megalith's animus and a single Redeemer pretty much negates three pillars per turn, removing my control tools. Seriously, the Redeemer singlehandedly makes Menoth a bad matchup for Mohsar. Harby just makes it worse by taking away most of Circle's other advantages. Circle just doesn't have the heavy, long range guns to blow Harby's large-based face off.

So my buddy finally bought his Menoth list: System: Warmachine Faction: Harbinger - Army of the Righteous Casters: 1/1 Points: 35/35 Tiers: 4 Harbinger of Menoth (*5pts) * Crusader (5pts) * Crusader (5pts) * Crusader (5pts) Avatar of Menoth (10pts) Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) High Paladin Dartan Vilmon (3pts) Paladin of the Order of the Wall (2pts) Paladin of the Order of the Wall (2pts) Paladin of the Order of the Wall (2pts) Paladin of the Order of the Wall (2pts) Yeah... How do I deal with this poo poo as Skorne? I just started so I have a pMorg tier list based off the battle box: System: Hordes Faction: Morghoul - Big Game Hunters Casters: 1/1 Points: 35/35 Tiers: 4 Master Tormentor Morghoul (*7pts) * Cyclops Savage (5pts) * Cyclops Savage (5pts) * Bronzeback Titan (9pts) * Titan Gladiator (7pts) Cataphract Arcuarii (Leader and 3 Grunts) (6pts) Cataphract Arcuarii (Leader and 3 Grunts) (6pts) Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts) My thoughts are to replace the two Savages with a Raider and a Shaman. With the Raider's Animus+the Shaman replicating it I can turn the Arcuarii into a half-decent shooting threat against Harby, letting them shoot from outside Awe range with some pretty mean CRA's. Also between the Shaman and Morghoul (with Craft Talisman from the Shaman) I think I can blow up a few Paladins with Torment+Evil Eye if those Menoth assholes manage to get dug in on some objectives or something. Torment will stop Harby from healing those pieces of poo poo right? What do you guys think? I'd like to avoid spending $200 to shove like 4 units of Immortals down his throat but I WILL IF I HAVE TO.

Went to a 35pt tournament today, came 4th of 10 due to my 2nd round opponent going 0-3 (strength of schedule is the worst system, except for all the others). Ran two pretty cookie-cutter legion lists because I was feeling lazy. Saeryn, Omen of Everblight (*5pts) * Raek (4pts) * Shredder (2pts) * Angelius (9pts) * Scythean (9pts) * Scythean (9pts) 1 Spell Martyr (1pts) Strider Deathstalker (2pts) Strider Deathstalker (2pts) The Forsaken (2pts) Reinforcements: Anyssa Ryvaal (4pts) Warmonger War Chief (3pts) Lylyth, Shadow of Everblight (*5pts) * Nephilim Bolt Thrower (6pts) * Ravagore (10pts) * Ravagore (10pts) * Seraph (8pts) Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts) Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts) Strider Deathstalker (2pts) The Forsaken (2pts) reinforcements didn't matter but it was a Raek and a War Chief Game 1: Saeryn vs. Deneghra 2, Supply and Demand My opponent was running Wraith Witch Deneghra (*6pts) * Nightwretch (4pts) * Nightwretch (4pts) * Nightmare (10pts) Bile Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts) Satyxis Raiders (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) * Satyxis Raider Sea Witch (2pts) Satyxis Raider Captain (2pts) Warwitch Siren (2pts) Warwitch Siren (2pts) Totally punted this. Could've had an actual game if I had done sensible things like "remember the scenario" and played accordingly, but I just toddled up like an idiot instead of blitzing up the field under my feat for protection, resulting in me losing on scenario basically as soon as it could happen. Pretty much the obvious result when you haven't played a control point scenario against eDenny in several years and you're still waking up. Still, an embarrassing loss that was easily preventable with a little thought. Probably won't make that mistake again. Game 2: Lylyth2 vs. Damiano, Demolition Opponent was playing a point down for some reason, running Captain Damiano (*6pts) * Rocinante (9pts) * Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker (2pts) Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (Boomhowler and 9 Grunts) (9pts) Kayazy Assassins (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts) Eiryss, Angel of Retribution (3pts) Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts) Rorsh & Brine (9pts) Saxon Orrik (2pts) He knew enough to be afraid of my ability to shoot his face off, and decided to play back, hugging a surefooted Rocinante for dear life for the first two turns. Unfortunately, he also decided it would be a good idea to just crawl up the field and try to shoot my all-stealth high defense army with Boomhowler and Co instead of just going for the easy charge (he was apparently afraid of what my heavies could do in melee, or so he claimed afterwards). I popped my feat bottom of turn 2, managed to miss Rocinante (at def 12) twice on boosted rolls with one Ravagore, knock down a single trollkin with the seraph (with 5 shots, mind you), and spend 2 bolt thrower and 2 ravagore shots killing Brine and putting Rorsh on one health + fire. On his turn 3, Rorsh managed to escape a fiery death, and Damiano hung back camping only 1 focus while Rocinante advanced out of Shield Guard range. My turn 3, since my dudes were still unengaged, I scooted a Ravagore up, shot Damiano, rolling 6,6,5 for damage, leaving him on fire with one box of health left, and did some other irrelevant stuff. Top of his turn 4, fire failed to go out and I rolled exactly the 5 I needed to win. Game 3: Saeryn vs. eHaley, Outflank, Outfight, Outlast Opponent was running Major Victoria Haley (*5pts) * Defender (9pts) * Stormclad (10pts) (Bonded) * Squire (2pts) Rangers (5pts) Trencher Commandos (Leader and 6 Grunts) (10pts) * 3 Trencher Commandos Scattergunner (3pts) Lady Aiyana and Master Holt (4pts) Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts) with a min unit of Stormlances for reserves. Was feeling pretty bad about this match going in, the other guy has a substantial amount of experience with eHaley, and I've been playing Legion since January, basically. This was also the last round of the tournament, and I forgot to write my notes down while they were fresh in my head, so this is all kind of fuzzy and the timing may be off. I went first, moved some stuff up and threw buffs around. He moved up, shot a Scythean for four or five damage with his TA'd Defender, prepped his Stormclad to charge something next turn, popped his feat, sprayed a Deathstalker off the table, and moved some rangers/trenchers around not doing much. I basically shuffled my beasts on my turn, contesting one objective, shooting something with my remaining Deathstalker, and hanging a Scythean out near the other one to bait the Stormclad. He took the offer of a Scythean, slapped Harm on it, charged it with his 4 focus Stormclad, and it went away. His reinforcements came in, and he spent a lot of time trying to shoot my remaining Deathstalker and failing. This gave him a Scenario point. Having weathered the feat turn with acceptable losses, I proceeded to charge the Stormclad with an Angelius and my remaining Scythean (which had Respawn on it), turning it into a nice cozy wreck marker for the Angelius to camp out in. Saeryn popped her feat, and I did more damage around the other end of the table with the other Deathstalker, Raek, and Anyssa (the Warmonger was setting up for a charge the following turn). His stormlances were still contesting the other zone, so I didn't score any points this turn. He went, ran some rangers around to distribute to-hit bonuses, put Harm on my Scythean, and proceeded to shoot it until Respawn triggered. At this point, I made a mistake, and instead of placing it on a wreck marker, outside of 5" of a Ranger, I stuck it in a forest within spotting range. The extra 4 RAT plus deadeye was enough to allow his stormlance shooting to finish it off (shameful). He continued to be unable to kill my remaining Deathstalker, missing it with his sprays, putting 2 damage on it between three grenades that he threw at it, and failing a Stormsmith skill check on it. I think he killed my shredder here too, but it might've been the next turn. My turn 3, the Angelius charged and ate the Stormlances, clearing that zone with some help from the Raek and Blight Bringer (which also took care of Aiyana and Holt). On the other side of the board, the warmonger charged a pair of trenchers, killed one and whiffed on the other. Anyssa tried to shoot the remaining one, but my dice are dumb and I shot my warmonger in the back for 3 instead. Thankfully, between the Deathstalker and Forsaken, I was able to clear that zone, and scored 2 points. On his turn, he killed the forsaken, charged and killed the Warmonger with his defender, finally grenaded the Deathstalker successfully, killing it, moved Haley into the zone occupied by the Angelius to contest it, and scored a point off the zone the Defender had cleared, tying us up at 2. My turn was easy, I ran Anyssa in to contest the Defender's zone, moved the Angelius up next to Haley, used Repulsion to push her out of the zone, and won on scenario, much to my surprise. All in all, I had a good time, though I'm still kicking myself for loving up my first game.

My record happened when an entire unit of shooty Ret guys ran up to Terminus to do a CRA on him, and my opponent forgot I had sac pawn (after I told him!). All of them combined to do a mega attack which probably wound have really hurt Terminus that round but I put it on a Mechanithrall who made his tough check, no less! The look on the Ret player's face was goddamn priceless.

Keep Denegrah back and arc through your 'nodes. Crippling Grasp their biggest threat, Parasite something else and watch you light 'jacks tear through Khador heavies on the feat turn. Don't forget to feat. If you arc Scourge on something from 4" away it's impossible for it to scatter far enough to miss so you're guaranteed the knock down effect.

Zealots are okay, and Deliverers have use in a pKreoss pop and drop.

AttackBacon posted:So my buddy finally bought his Menoth list: Hes got a boatload of stuff that can only be damaged by magic attacks. Id probably dump the tier list for this matchup, get a shaman,raider (as you said) and an extoller in your list at minimum. Maybe 2 extollers, because magic weapons and eyeless sight are amazing. But yeah thats a weird, ugly matchup for skorne in general, but especially skorne without guns. The good news is that basically any of your melee beasts, with the right buffs handed out, can assassinate harby. So you should be able to pressure him off of scenario zones/etc by jamming with your beasts. Also, arcuarii arent bad because a pow 14 from the feat doesnt just insta-gib them (close though). Id consider a titan sentry if youre playing menoth a lot. Its super durable, hits menoth jacks easily with MAT 5 because their defense sucks, and has a 1 fury cost animus that completely shuts down enliven. It also can get a pretty bonkers threat range from morghoul. 13" threat from a big fat defensive piece, hitting at pow 20 (enrage/abuse) is really solid.
