Hello! May 7 we have a tournament for 50 points, and I just can not decide on the roasters. The first roster I made for the destruction of armor.
System: Hordes Faction: Circle Orboros Caster: 1 / 1 Points: 50 / 50 Kromac2 (Kromac Champion of the Wurm) -28 - Ghetorix 21 - Warpwolf Stalker 19 - Gorax Rager 7 Wrong Eye (Wrong Eye & Snapjaw) 17 - Snapjaw 0 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Blackclad Wayfarer 4
The second I chose Baldur2 anti-gunline. System: Hordes
Faction: Circle Orboros Caster: 1 / 1 Points: 50 / 50 Baldur2 (Baldur the Stonesoul) -30 - Woldwarden 16 - Pureblood Warpwolf 17 - Pureblood Warpwolf 17 Wrong Eye (Wrong Eye & Snapjaw) 17 - Snajaw 0 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Shifting Stones 3
Please comment on my choice. Can it cost something to change or can it review the casters? Kromack1, for example, or kaya2?

So I tried your Baldur list vs a few friends. Cygnar and Cryx matches. I don't own him so I dont have much play time with him but feedback is feedback. Long story short his wall is pretty good with mannikins forest for safe passage up the middle. His feat also basically stalls out another turn which is cool. But I never felt like I scared my opponent. Like I said it is probably my lack of playtime with him but he just didn't provide board pressure for me. I lost both match ups btw, Score and assassination...
I swapped him for Krueger2 and did much better. The TK lets the pureblood spray again, even got another assault charge with one. Warden becomes a kmart loki with gallows too. Windstorm is pretty great to get all your mans up in peoples faces but it isn't perfect. I just might like how fun TK is though. Then his feat is pretty much praised by everyone so there is that. Well I wish you the best on your future games.

So what will you drop if you run into a high armor gun line?

Probs Krueger. His windstorm makes it so the shooty jacks had to come into my charge ranges. Same with the warden using gallows. I didn't play vs any heavy armor skews or anything like that, but your first list looks like it would chew up anything as long as you get the first hit. Just use the mannikins to tie em till the big bad wolves can get a charge from your blackclad. Have you thought of dropping ghet for feral and adding stones? Just to add another way to get over jammed units, maybe even surprise people. I'll see about trying that list soon. Maybe even using dhalia and her big ass snake too just give me a ranged option.
Edit. Also using mannikins to make it so they can't shoot and have to waste the activation clearing the brush away, unless they want to risk a few free strikes. Haha. Just make sure they can't trample into a better spot for the next turn (can't trample and shoot).

Hello! Thank you for noticing my topic! The list with Baldur is a thing of the past, because I did not find anyone to take crocodiles to the tournament. And also I had to change my list of Kromack in this regard. Last weekend I played this list System: Hordes Faction: Circle Orboros Caster: 1 / 1 Points: 50 / 50 Kromac2 (Kromac Champion of the Wurm) -28 - Gnarlhorn Satyr 12 - Warpwolf Stalker 19 - Shadowhorn Satyr 12 - Feral Warpwolf 18 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Sentry Stone & Mannikins 5 Shifting Stones 3 Blackclad Wayfarer 4 The games took place against these sheets Mercenary Army - 50 / 75 points
(Ashlynn 1) Ashlynn D'Elyse [+29] - Gallant [17] - Nomad [11] Harlan Versh, Illuminated One [4] Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress [4] Major Harrison Gibbs [4] Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor [5] Wrong Eye [17] Tactical Arcanist Corps [7] Thorn Gun Mages [9]
System: Hordes Faction: Legion of Everblight Caster: 1 / 1 Points: 48 / 50 Absylonia2 (Absylonia Daughter of Everblight) -28 - Angelius 17 - Typhon 24 - Seraph 14 - Proteus 19 Blighted Nyss Shepherd 1 Blighted Nyss Shepherd 1
Against mercenaries very well triggered hyperaggression. We played in exchange, I did not lose a niggard beast. Against the legion, everything is sadder. 14 inches of threat is dangerous. My list without crocodiles does not want to play with anything, it attacks further than he does. You have to take alpha, but for a circle it's always bad.

Well the bad news is you're 100% right about legions threat and us not wanting to take an alpha. All I can say there is do your best with mannikins and stones blocking landing areas and charge lanes.
Now the good news, if you can do that they don't want to take an alpha either. Also don't count out a boosted damage spray from a mannikin. Sorry I don't have any groundbreaking insight into the match up. I wish you well in your games.
Edit: Look into lanyssa solo. She can increase threat with mark but more importantly can remove flight, eyeless sight, and pathfinder in a bubble!
