I've been working on a lot of DOA lists but I have been wondering if it will have any game into ghost fleet. Has anyone run DOA vs ghost fleet with any success?
Will the Mistspeaker being able to grant the Dracodile magic weapons that blind be enough?

Gargs are bad choices into cryx, too many debuffs and swarm of models that'll kill it. Can't see DOA being effective enough unless Morg3 with a blindwalker can control sufficiently well but im still doubtful

yeah, killroundears pretty much has the answer for that one x.O; DOA gives Skorne a whole new look and can be altered in any way you wish to make a normal minion list with just about all the skorne beeI AM A HOMOPHOBEe you can handle to include into it. If you got the money, DOA can really become overpowered, especially while combining the taskmaster into the mix. I doubt any skorne players will be posting many of the fully tested DOA lists, however, as they'll be some of the lists we want to save for masters and maybe even the next iron gauntlet. Considering how well MoW is doing into cryx and what Jalaam is going to be bringing to the faction, I'd probably be looking at those two for your main play list. I'm personally testing Jalaam WoD on wednesday.

I feel like the theme has the tools. Bone-swarms can RFP. bargains and shamblers are descent infantry choices (not at the same time I don't think) and you have a caster with a blind spell and one with a blind feet to help control the battle engine. Sac-pawn gives you a little resiliency to the assassination issue. If the CID drops you have magic weapons for all your beasts in the mist speaker and arc nodes at 10 points. I think you have enough tools to make a list vs cryx but finding it could be difficult.
Masters of war does have good tools too. I have found the mac2 list to be pretty skill intensive but if you are better with it I am sure it can work.

Yeah, they die to basically any attack but considering they can spawn and then activate and behind them is a powerful gator who will kill a heavy if given the chance. Boneswarms are also worth taking if you just go all in on undead and bring boilmaster cauldrons on top of all of that. Then throw some cheap chaff out front to do the honourable dying to power the shambler horde |

Can the Cauldron give Corpses to Skorne beasts? Certainly can, the CID document i'm reading says the rule "Special Delivery" lets you place on Friendly model, not Friendly Faction |
