So, as those who saw The Modcast might know, we mods are doing a challenge series! The idea is that each week (or every other week, w\e) we head to the forums to look for a specific list building challenge to play for the next week. These challenges will be suggested by you all! Each week we will (hopefully) each have a new and exciting challenge to go over, and some fun stories to tell! Week one: Compelling; what does it mean?

For week one, we will simply be choosing the most compelling idea presented! It could be a specific model, a combination and\or unique synergy, or trying to build a list in an unusual fashion! So, give us your best, and we'll report back next week with our choices!

Children of the Dragon with Bethayne and Belphagor. It works on Cryx, Cygnar, and Circle as far as i have tested. Haven't found games with others yet. Local store group has deserted.
I can give you my full list if you want or you can come up with your own.
Or I can give you my out of theme Kryssa list that is currently 5 - 0.

I've been testing CotD for a bit now. While I'm willing to do more, especially if that more is a caster I haven't tried yet (bethayne,)I'd like some other options Also, the idea was to get list concepts, rather than full lists. I'm taking this as one part play challenge, and one part listbuild challenge. Don't want it to be too easy!

Completely out of theme list. Use all our models which can't be taken in theme with which ever warlock.
For example thags1 with azrael, hellmouths, and ogrun.

Some ideas: - Children of the Dragon with a warlock who has no character beast.
- Legionnaries. Anywhere, really – just find a good list with them where something else isn't clearly superior.
- Same deal with Archers. I think they might be playable with Fyanna2, if you can find a list where she cares to take them.
- Banshees: Where are they actually valuable? I think they could be cute against lists that rely on beasts casting their animi (if you see Hordes in your meta), but I don't think that makes them worth adding to a pairing.
All lists should be able to be played as part of a competitive pairing. And no noob-stomping clubbing baby seals... haha – put them up against some "competitive" lists and see how they shake out.

I mean, those two criteria are in no way assured . Most of the mods get, like, 1-2 games a week usually and that limits our selectiveness when it comes to opponents. On banshees, I've actually enjoyed them in a few places. The fact is that, for the points, they don't need to hit hard. They are a stealth, blast immune wall that can clear jam in a pinch. Seeing as I own both them and archers, I've considered playing my lylyth1 with both and seeing if I like it. I'll think about it, but keep the ideas flowing!

Saeryn1 with a bunch of high armor like Carniveans and Typhon? Maybe Legionnaires as well? *shrug* It's neat to have a lot of your beasts tank hits from other heavies on feat turn.

OK, taking the ask to bring Archers, combined with some Jank suggested in the Cryx thread on the mod challenge, I bring you "Half of my beasts are minions:"
Theme: No Theme Selected 75 / 75 Army
Lylyth, Herald of Everblight - WB: +30 - Nephilim Bolt Thrower - PC: 11 (Battlegroup Points Used: 11) - Carnivean - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19)
Wrong Eye - Wrong Eye & Snapjaw: 17 - Snapjaw - Blackhide Wrastler - PC: 16 Blighted Nyss Sorceress & Hellion - PC: 6
Blighted Nyss Archers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 13 - Blighted Nyss Archer Officer & Ammo Porter - Officer & Ammo Porter: 5 Blighted Nyss Raptors - Leader & 4 Grunts: 18
Only thing I feel I'm missing is a gobber chef. Sorc on Hellion is there purely to allow archers to not suck.
This is only the first draft of the list though; keep the concepts coming!

I've never had archers not do their points worth of work. With or without the S&H. But then again I only took min units with UA.
I myself would be very hesitant to take the black hide. Wrong eye gets targeted with the upmost malice. then you have a wrastler wandering around and can't force. Maybe Rorsh & Brine instead?

Fair, but then you don't really want to have another beast...

Fair, but then you don't really want to have another beast... ? I might be missing something. I meant to drop the wrastler for Rorsch and Brine. Then you still have 4 beasts.
