So I'm at CaptainCon as we speak. Up until now, I've been working on a protectorate army, and occasionally I'll grab an out of faction model just to paint, since painting has been my main joy so far in the hobby. But now I want to get more into playing the game, and after taking a serious long look over all of the factions, I've landed on circle. They are the only faction where I find almost every model aesthetically pleasing. The only exceptions would be the wolds, though I do like the gargantuan and the guardian.
So... I'm at CaptainCon all weekend, and the retailers are plentiful... What do I buy?
I want to play for fun, but I also want to win every now and then. So if you guys could steer me towards a competitive build, I'll get started towards it.
Thanks!

Scarsfell Griffons, multiples Shifting Stones, 2 Blackclad Wayfarer Warpwolf Kits, 2 Gorax Rager Megalith, if Baldur2 Krueger the Stormlord (Krueger2) Una2 (The warcaster Una, not the solo) Baldur the Stonecleaver (Baldur2) I don't think you can go wrong with this very small list  to start, it's not a full army by itself. |

Do you want to run beast heavy? WHat about our tharn infantry?
You could probably have a blast playing with UNA2 bird spam or Devo host. (or una2 with a bunch of birds IN DEVO HOST!)
What specifically in the faction do you like the most.

So I was looking at Morvahna 2, Kaya 3, and Una. As for units and warbeasts I'm not really dedicated to anything BUT I did just get a Extreme Feral Warpwolf for 15 bucks. I did like the way the Reeves of Oboros look...if that helps at all

Well reeves do not synergize well with any of those casters sadly. What about beasts? Do you like the scarsfells? You could run a feral with kaya 3 but probably not so much with Una2.

Ah damn, I liked the Reeves, but no worries. As for the scarsfells, I wouldn't mind it. Griffons I think are cool, and I like the satyrs too, they seem pretty awesome. So I'm in this really weird zone of not knowing if I want to go satyrs, griffons or wolves.

So I'm in this really weird zone of not knowing if I want to go satyrs, griffons or wolves. Kaya 3 sounds like your gal. You could run a 50 point list like this with her: conflictchamber.com/#c8200O_-0WgU4O5H5H5H4K4K5g5g5f5fCircle Army - 45 / 50 points [Theme] Call of the Wild (Kaya 3) Kaya the Wildheart [+27] - Feral Warpwolf [18] - Scarsfell Griffon [8] - Scarsfell Griffon [8] - Scarsfell Griffon [8] - Shadowhorn Satyr [12] - Shadowhorn Satyr [12] Blackclad Wayfarer [0(4)] Blackclad Wayfarer [0(4)] Shifting Stones [3] Shifting Stones [3] You also get 5 points to play around with. You could turn a scarsfell into another Goat, or you could take out a unit of stones and take a 4th Bird. It would be a bit pricey but sifting stones are easy to convert, and its a good starting point for Kaya3. I would magnetize the satyr kits you buy. It will save you a ton of money and is really convenient. Same thing with warpwolf Kits. |

That looks good, can you give me a list that works a bit more with units? I'm still not sure if I want beast heavy vs. more troop heavy. Any suggestions?

Well then, I hope you have not bought Kaya 3, because I think yna2 fits what you want more :3 Kaya 3 is all about a Big battlegroup. She doesn’t really do anything for Units  Are you ok with getting into Tharn? |

Oh totally, Tharn look pretty cool. I bought Kaya3 but I'm not regretting it because I enjoy painting them either way so I think she may have been a hobby/paint buy if I don't end up using her.
Again, just exploring options for different Circle lists here. And it seems like poking your brain is giving me a lot of useful info and insight 👍😊

Well if you are into Tharn you could perhaps run this with Una2 (if you gots the money, if not I can finagle Tharn into a 50 Point Kaya List in devo Host it just wont be optimal)
Una2:
-Feral (because you bought the Extreme!)
-3 Scarsfells
2 Max Units if ravagers with UA
Also pricey, but you can always turn the second ravager bout into more beasts or Lady Tharn!
Bloodtrackers are pretty decent with her because HoF on thier Spears is really good. Just be aware they die like paper!
