I picked up an old box of raiders in the Iron arena at the SOO. I'm wanting to put them on the table but i'm not sure which caster would be best. I'm kicking around this Kallus1 deal with double swordsmen and Grots as vanguard. Thoughts?

Try Kallus2. He loves a big battlegroup, sure, but battle lusted raiders do work for minimal investment.

Kallus1 with grotesques and Swordmen works well.
And you can allways use a unit in a ravens list, fyanna2 works alright, just keep your martyrs in places were they can run up to ark fury on the flanking grots.

Abby 1 doesn't want much in the way of infantry. Raiders do well enough as jamming and some infantry clearing. a single assassin bubble is usually good enough to stealth them all.

All the Grots I can muster. I can't bring myself to play double Banshees with it too. The Raptors are too good.
Idea is Raeks and Teraphs set things on fire, Raiders/Raptors with Fury break things, and Banshees are really annoying, when they threaten 13.5"/19" and troublesome to remove (stealth, Forcebarrier is a thing. Plus after they are engaged the teraphs can shoot in to melee to unjam them if they live - because Force Barrier.

Kallus1 - Blightbringer Max Grotesque Raiders 2x Max Swordsmen 2x Hellmouth 2x Deathstalker Spell Martyr That was pretty much what I had built up already. Warlord instead of the second hellmouth though. was talking to a guy on the FB group and I think this list might have some legs with Kryssa as well. |

I had a lot of success with this list back in the early days of MK3... since then though the game has changed a lot, namely Theme Forces. Since this list is playing out of theme I'm not sure if it can still stand up to some of the stuff it used to have a lot of game into which was mainly bricks and jack spam. When they can get 14+ free points they end up making more attacks each turn which makes it harder to grind them down. If you decide to go forward with it best of luck! |
