Pigs for all the Asian events!

So, honest question: Are you planning to just dodge Ghost Fleet? What do you see as the individual strengths of your lists? Do you have an idea of what you'll drop each list into? And, most importantly: good luck!

So, so close I wish I were able to attend one of those events. It's sad having another Minions player flying around just across the pond.

Good luck at the events!

Taiwan was only announced a few days ago. If you can make it to Thailand their prize pool is huge to encourage foreign players. First prize is 20,000 baht (check what that is in various currencies).

If I dumped the slaughterhousers and went more of a monster mash for Carver, how about:

Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III - WB: +28
- War Hog - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 15)
- War Hog - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 13)
- War Hog - PC: 15
- Road Hog - PC: 16
- Battle Boar - PC: 7

Rorsh - Rorsh & Brine: 15
- Brine
Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor - PC: 5
Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress - PC: 4
Maximus - PC: 4
Gremlin Swarm - PC: 3
Feralgeist - PC: 2

Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew - Leader & 1 Grunt - PC: 2

Of the common/nasty tournament lists I've seen...
Karchev: has to be Carver. That's why all the slaughterhousers were in the original list.
Butcher3: 3/4 heavies I'll go Helga, any more is Carver. Helga is able to threaten Butcher with knockdown and is one of the few casters who has a decent shot at surviving his assassination. My army can spread out a lot to mitigate the heavy damage output and I have a lot of contesting models for his scenario game.
Vlad1 rocketspam: Helga. She has the best kit for scalpelling rockets and won't die to most of the list so can play quite aggressively and push for scenario.
Cygnar will generally be Carver. A monster mash is still the way to handle them. I really don't like Helga into Haley2/3.
Ghost fleet is nasty but I'm not expecting anyone to use it. I think I'm better with Helga here due to infantry clearance.
The other Cryx list I would expect Infernal Machines with Gaspy3/Venethrax or Skarre1 stalker spam. I don't need Carver level damage output and brigands are great so it's Helga.
Protectorate is a tough one. It used to be Carver but the exemplar theme would really punish him. I think I'll just wing it.
Retribution is another tough one, I play against them a bit and they can be very hard. Helga vs anyone but Rahn and Garryth I think.
Mercs have very different lists but in general they struggle against armour so Carver.
Legion will have Fyanna2/Abby2/something in oracles and then Lylyth3/Kallus/Vayl1/2. I think either of my lists can manage this.
Trolls don't exist in MK3.
Circle hasn't been in my meta lately, the local player is now up to 5 kids. Suggestions?
Skorne is usually a Helga job. The low defence titans are great targets for muzzle and not being able to throw/slam your own stuff means they have very few ways to knock her down. They have several casters able to get through Carvers armour.
Minions: that's us! No plan, do it at the time.

Skorne excels at anti shooting but the variety they bring is manageable as I'm not trying to shoot down heavies/casters in the first place. The krea aura, shield guards and carapace is limited in the area it covers. I may need Carver if they bring a bunch of sentries or something but Helga:
Can muzzle an aradus/titan out of the game.
Can use dash to get brigands through the line of engagement to shoot support.
Can screw over venators and immortals with distraction.
Has Pendrake, making brigands great into the inevitable archidons.
Is extremely difficult for most casters to kill.
She isn't trying too hard for armour which Skorne are good at killing.

Why do I need bone grinders as shock troops? And while I liked the idea of them as cheap bodies during the MK3 teasers, they really don't stack up for that. I think they pay a smidge too much for their magic weapons and attack types.
