This week we look at the new Kriel Company theme.
What can we use and what might it need in terms of a few tweaks while it's on CID

Nice article. I personally was first excited for a new theme, then disappointed due to bananas restrictions, and now i am back to cautiously optimistic. Building lists is VERY different for this theme for sure, and i am not decided yet. I was not super happy with PoD when it came out, and see what happened

To be honest I'd be pretty happy with the list assuming it allowed a Mauler. I can understand why people feel it's underwhelming though. I'm looking forward to finally playing Weapon's Crews

The lack of a mauler is what kills it for me i think. it corners you in to either playing a MK (and thus get fewer free points etc) or playing something wonky and hope you dont have to crack ARM. Madrak 3 probably has a sweet list in there if he could bring a Mauler for example...

We could always run 2/3 slag trolls as a warmachine drop?
Most the armor heavy toys are on that side of the board anyway?
Edit to add battle group thoughts:
29 point wargroup casters seems pretty strong- pyre with 2 slags for perfect battle group or add a third slag to help scary away armor drops depending on meta and match ups your looking to fix. So at most your looking at 10 / 75
WB: +29 - Pyre Troll - PC: 9 (Battlegroup Points Used: 9) - Slag Troll - PC: 10 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Slag Troll - PC: 10 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Slag Troll - PC: 10
Our 29 point roster looks great for the theme- Horgle, Grissel1, Borka2, Madrak1 and 3. I would include doomy1 but i feel his kit does not fit the beast load out listed.

Might be worth trying though
