Well, you're completely screwed if you run into a armor skew. You'd need to pair it with an armor cracker list and hope you win list chicken. Not if you can ignore an ARM wall and get at teh caster with credible threats, which is possible here.

Thyra is not interested in Devout. She has 17 def, is stealth and she moves fast. Use cover and concealment. Giving her a Devout, it's to give a target to your opponent who can then use an AOE and hit automatically Thyra with the blast. Favor rather heavy Jack which can take advantage of Carnage, Silence of Death and her feat. A castigator, a Reckoner, even a Sanctifier for exemple. minor nitpick: guardians gives all warjacks girded. she's not vulnerable to blasts with a devout Right ! She'll not suffer blast damage, but can still suffer continuous effects, or became KD, or any effect that comes with the blast. She has only 14 Arm.... The Devout want to be B2b, Thyra does'nt.

I agree, easiest way to kill Thyra is to knock her down, and an easy way to achieve that is to slam a jack over her. Keep Thyra away from your jacks folks!

Who says the knocked down is coming from in front of her?
With Thyra I often find the lines of engagement get messy. Half my stuff (Thyra included) is going to be in their back lines, which means they are behind my line of engagement.

Out of the Theme-dump, the most interesting is that Guardians of the Temple now gives tough and Steady to Temple Flameguard that are B2B. At least it's better than Girded.

Really like tough and no knockdown added. Stated in another thread that I often forgot girded. It even helps sell me on the champion offering it(it’s still not a good ability because to my knowledge blast damage doesn’t kill support models in the frequency that I have read the internet believes) but also the no ad benefit changing to no ambush. This is something I would like to see discussed as those legion and khador lists can play mighty fast and ambush could often tilt that opponent and punish them for playing full throttle. Now the lines of battle can be more midfield and the tarpit of the list will slow at least one half of the table down.
