It's Quiet: Calandra List

Looks like a very solid core of a list, but i think it needs some refining.

The most glaring issue is that it is an anti infantry list that has no solution for incorporeal. Adding a sorcerer to the highwaymen would be very beneficial.

An issue that might be harder to tackle is that you really want to use the befuddle + highwaymen combo, and that is super strong, but calandra does not have access to the earths blessing animus or shield guards in the list. Perhaps it will be enough to try and block LoS to her with the WW and a beast on the turn she tries to befuddle, but then those two things will likely not do the max amount of work they could, so you are allowing the HWM to shoot down a heavy (or two) but you have like 30 points of your list that may not preform their best on that turn (and its probably the feat turn). Only table time with the list will show if this is a real issue, and against many lists, calandra will be just fine with just Bullet dodger and camping a few.

I personally really like the SoB with calandra. They are way harder to kill with her and they punch WAY harder than you might think on the feat turn. I would not change them for sluggers to free up points if i could help it.

Finding extra points is tough though. I am tempted to tell you to drop the Pyre. The fire eaters are totally fine without it, and 9 points of "support" for a 14 point package is a lot. The problem then is that you lack a transfer target. I think it is actually worth to drop the pyre for a swamp and a sorcerer for the HWM. The swamp itself can be really good with calandra. His animus is probably not as useful as you want for calandra herself, since if she casts it, she is camping 2 less, but the swamp itself could cast it and charge in to jam something up real good. A warbeast will be hard pressed to remove him under star crossed.

I do not think that really changes much. You can block LoS no probs, but the cost of doing so, in sub par activations is pretty big.

Sure there is, play Borka1. He is pretty hard to kill. This is what I threw together:

Im not sure my point got across so ill reiterate. Calandra can easily play in the theme, but IF you want to build a list around befuddle she will be further up than normally and then she may be in trouble. It is totally worth playing a couple of times to be sure though.

Do they really hit a DEF 16 (plus terrain) Calandra under star crossed? Even with Raevyn feat that is a tall bill for RAT 5, and for every miss, you could back off 2". The scary problem is the banshee imo. If that guy hits (still a boosted 11 under star crossed, so it is by no means automatic) you are basically auto dead to the archers. The banshee threatens a bit shorter though, and only ignores LOS blocking with 3 casters (yeah... thats Ret for ya...)
