Hi all,
Im really psyched for the upcoming changes. The first thing i though about was testing some KC lists with the new option of having some melee beasts without losing free choices. I have played some Gunny in KC before and always suffered when the opponent was able to close the gap between us. Therefore I will be running this:
Theme: Kriel Company 3 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Captain Gunnbjorn - WB: +28 - Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0 - Dire Troll Bomber - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19) - Dire Troll Mauler - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 9) - Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 14
War Wagon - PC: 16
Braylen Wanderheart, Trollkin Outlaw - PC: 0
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 5 Grunts: 9 - Stone Scribe Elder - PC: 3 Trollkin Sluggers - Leader & 4 Grunts: 10 Pummeler Crew - Gunner & 2 Grunts: 0 Trollkin Sluggers - Leader & 4 Grunts: 10 Northkin Fire Eaters - Leader, Trollkin Grunt, and Pyg Grunt: 7
THEME: Kriel Company.
Im not sure the build is exactly what I want it to be, perhaps I will go for bushwhackers instead of the FE and second slugger unit, the unit load out will also affect the last free choice. but Im really excited to try this out.
Has anyone else had some brews with the new KC theme?

If whelps become free options, i think a set of whelps would be a better option than the pummeler, as it give you some more scoring solos. Also, second unit of sluggers and FEs COULD be a second WW... Or why not Highwaymen? With Snipe they seem totally fine, right?
Im pretty excited for new KC too. Who knows? Maybe ill bring out the old trolls?

As for the whelps you are right, it might also make me consider a second bomber instead of an earthborn. The highwaymen could be interesting, it really depends on what the meta will be and what I feel the list will be lacking. See you in the autumn!

With the new eyeless sight objective around, Horgle2 may like KC as well. Glacier, mauler, bomber, war wagon/HHH and some shooty unit. 3 huge bases may be a pain to move around though.

The only melee beast I wanted to see added/included was the Mauler for close-up ARM crackin'. If PP makes D&S universally allowed in KC, I'll appreciate it for the fun value (great looking model!)
The EBDT or Bouncer (animus) become slightly less important now that there is a really protective objective available.

Im mostly adding the Earthborn due to the synergy with the Gunbjörn wasll. But you are right in that the animus is not as necessary. For this list though I think the eyeless sight objecrive will be the most usefull.

I bought two boxes of Pygs from miniature Market in their last sale because i really want to play them. I'm so weak. But they're so cute!

Im not sure about two units, but one unit is not that bad. with snipe and combined ranged they can really take out some solos. And they are good against single wounds units.

It was cheaper to buy two full boxes at $15 each than to buy one box and then two blisters for the full unit

Where was it confirmed that KC is dropping the "ranged only" beast requirement?
Having a Mountain King count to requisition points sure helps but getting the Mauler would be great.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation. I got excited, then right back to worried that this was wish listing.

Hm, now that I think about it, perhaps it would be better to upgrade the earthborn to a second bomber using points from the fire eaters and adding a goober crew. That way, guided fire can really be a usefull spell instead of a dead one.
