So, 1st time running Kaya3 after near exclusive play w Kromac1 for ~4yrs of inconsistent gaming.
Here’s what I’m planning to try into Cryx soon:
Kaya3 (Call of the Wild)
Druid wilder
Stalker
Pureblood
Feral
Wild Argus
Gnarlhorn
Scarsfell
Razorwing
Blackclad
Blackclad
Gallows grove
LotF
Shifting stones + ua
Shifting stones
I don’t have multiples of much and already proxying Kaya (Tharn wolfrider champ), so don’t wanna take the p!ss.
Hoping to get some use out of the birds with Synergy and maybe just use the Gnarlhorn defensively.
Argus is something I’m just taking to see if I can actually get off that doppler (never managed yet in mk3) and cos I hate it only slightly less than the Gorax in appearance.
Warpwolves obviously the workhorses, w Pureblood for anti-incorporeal and ranged threat/spray.
I know LotF is shocking, but I don’t have many solos I can take in Call and as a 6pt freebie I’m thinking just try him.
Id consider another beast instead, but all I have left is another WArgus, Gorax, Ghetorix(n/a). I don’t do Wolds.
Please critique and advise

PS last time I played this guy he ran Ghost fleet and has hinted he might proxy Agrimony to try her out today, so Im guessing ghosts again.
This is what I remember in his last list
Deneghra2
Kraken
Defiler
Shrike
Rip jaw
Rengrave
Pistol wraith
Ghost raiders
Revenant cannon
Revenant crew x2
Revenant riflemen x3
Frankly there were too many of them and I was running DevHost under PKromac.

still learning the game myself, but thanks to the CiD where all themes can take 1 minion solo and 1 minion unit, any worthwhile ones for your list? I personally just picked up a Hutchuck for my lists to help against Warjacks and he has some grenades for units.

Played 2 games today into Cryx, 1st Ghost Fleet and 2nd Black Industries.
Despite my random mix of beasts it was such a forgiving list. I’d have lost to the clock if we were running one, but as both were rusty n trying new lists we just just played the scenarios.
1st game was 8:3 on Scenario
2nd went 7:2 but he barely had anything left either.
Played much better into jack heavy than troop heavy.
I’ll probably keep the same list til I can run it to a clock.

Are you saying you won against Ghost Fleet with Kaya3?

Are you saying you won against Ghost Fleet with Kaya3? Yes, but not without a few cock ups on both our parts. - I forgot that both Fog of War and Synergy were ‘Self’ and upkept them both simultaneously (in both games). The Fog didn’t really impact when I was making use of synergy anyway so hopefully not a major issue. - Also my oppo told me that when I took out ‘move’ on his jacks’ damage grid that they became auto hit in melee. (I now realise I could still miss on snake eyes as it just drops their DEF, but I didn’t roll after his words). - One occasion (didn’t check) I might have had a beast repo or gain +2DEF while in Druid CMD but not Kaya control. I’d misread the actual benefit of the Druid bubble, thinking of it simply as a control extension, but apparently it isn’t quite the same. Rookie error. I was posting out of surprise and perhaps a little boast, since I’ve readd how nasty Ghost fleet can be, esp with only 1 pureblood and few other reliable magical attacks. Also a pleasant wonder at how forgiving repo3 and Kaya3 in general can be considering I’d never played her before and forget her abilities, (the FoW DEF benefits etc) several times in both games. I forgot to finish her activation in both games yet somehow managed the fury outlay and still got results. |

Congrats on the wins its nice to see Kaya getting some play.
Ghost fleet CAN be on oppressive list but it is still pretty finicky and needs to be run by a deft hand under the right caster. Unless he's running the Deneghra1 version you're not seeing the true power inherent in that list. Not trying to minimize the victory but its something you should keep in mind if planning to drop K3 into Cryx in the future.

I don’t play tournaments, so haven’t written 2 lists to ‘drop’ into particular foes.
I instead pick a list and try to make it work against whatever I face. Tbh, I only know 1 person who plays WM/H and does have the 2 list mentality.
Am I doing it all wrong?

Are you having fun? If yes, then you're doing it perfectly fine! This is a game, after all, and while much of the advice on the forums is geared for and considers the tournament scene and hyper competitive play, honestly as long as your are enjoying the game, do whatever you want 😉 |

What Kurininad said. I'm just cautioning about becoming over confident in a matchup you've only tried once. If you do decide to do tournaments and carry that experience forward it might bite you in the butt.
