Orrik only does pathfinder though. Ruhpert brings consistent utility turn over turn. I realize that's a goal post move though, but how often do you see Orrik in lists compared to ruhpert? All the time. I see Saxon Orrik all the time. More often than Rhupert, in fact.

Not so much a rant today, but I am curious, are there any lists people are running out of theme? Benefits of it? What are people favorite list for S&Gs to run for fun?

Sorry for my ignorance; what’s “S&Gs”?
As for out of theme (OOT), I really don’t find there’s any strong compelling reasons to go OOT in a competitive setting. PP are actively driving some events toward theme only (I’ve read somewhere), and the benefits of the good themes seem to massively outweigh the options that OOT provides, that not even including the free models. The only trend that’s going against Total Theme seems to be that players aren’t trying to maximise those free models as much, dropping 1 or 2 free slots in favour of trying to get a little more balance within theme.

S&G _ _ _ _ _ & Giggles...I'll let you fill in the blanks...just to be forum friendly

Running out of theme has to have a combination that is worth however many free points + benefits you lose out on by playing it. This makes it extremely rare to see competitively because its rarely the correct choice However, playing out of theme can be quite fun as long as youre not up agaunst powerful meta casters

So yea, good luck with that. I didn't realize Circle lost bounding, that sucks. And I have to agree pretty resoundingly, if anybodies faction beast stable should more or less all have pathfinder, it's Circle.
