Ok, so without much context. My B_3 list with S_0 has 11 points I don't know what to do with. I'm running Alexia_2 for some spell hate but I don't have much bodies to feed her, so my options are: Run Double Eliminators for 10 and play 1 point down Run Min Boomhowlers for 11 and have access to the cool Cacophony Fel Call (which doubles down on the spell hate with Alexia) or just buy another Marauder (for a total of 4 in the list)? I have also considered max Halberdiers for 11 to run screen and feed Alexia more easily, but I don't own any  What would you choose? |

If it's spell hate you want, why not use Orin? He doesn't need bodies.

If it's spell hate you want, why not use Orin? He doesn't need bodies. Orin left a bad taste in my mouth when a persistent opponent made me spend all 3 power tokens in 2 turns. Need something that can work turn 4 and 5. Here's my list conflictchamber.com/?c3201b_-0xdIkTkTnmnj9whF7whFlOkTKhador Army - 64 / 75 points [Theme] Jaws of the Wolf [Butcher 3] Kommander Zoktavir, the Butcher Unleashed [+22] - Marauder [11] - Marauder [11] - Ruin [17] - Greylord Adjunct [0(4)] Alexia, Mistress of the Witchfire [7] Greylord Forge Seer [0(4)] - Behemoth [25] Greylord Forge Seer [0(4)] Kovnik Apprentice Kratikoff [4] - Marauder [11] |

What do you typically go up against to warrant 4 Marauders?
Elims would be an easy plug and play and gives you something to score with. They havent worked for me and i dont rate them versus Crucible Guard / Syvestro, who i play regularly.
What do you think about Widowmakers? That adds some bodies for Alexia2 and gives you points to upgrade a Marauder to a Devastator...never a bad idea with B3.

If you want bodies and sciring units run two min machsnics and a max machanics unit.
Its 11 points for 14 bodies that can repair 8f needed

I did, but I didn't like how Devy performed. Still need to consider other permutations.

Devestators are 100% my second pick jack after ruin for B3. Being able to bulldoze, block Los, clear chaff, contest zones are all things B3 loves in a jack. Ruin is on top because nothing beats his efficiency when run with B3. How set on Alexia are you? If you really want spell hate, Orin is your man. The consistency is huge, both ruin and alexia require something extra and aren't reliable. For 13 points id bring widow makers and kayazy eliminators. |

I'm definitely cutting Alexia.
Close to 10 games with her and she's not doing what I want her to do.
I need to cut her, or give her a full 10 man unit to feed off.
