So I am off for some games in Singapore and Im taking Gary2 in defenders and 4shade in legions. Finding one of each battle engine in defenders better than two tridents or three battle engines. Need a unit or two and battle group and solos. Double sniper for one req ppint and eiryss for another is good. 4shade does his thing in legion where sentinels love hitting harder. What pairs are other elves using, what casters are underplayed. I like trying less used casters when i can so after this i will change it up,maybe back to Thyron. So I love Big T, and I have had alot of success running this list. The banshees love assail and cleave, and on feat turn helps to get some grevious wounds. Theres enough choppy models for storm rager to be relevant through the game. And the takedown/blessed throughout helps into medium infantry or slow bricks. Now, my meta is somewhat shallow and Im not playing WTC players but I've taken on garyth2, issryia, zadesh, nemo3, old witch grymkin, and done well. Again, its not a netlist but I feel like it synergizes with thryon's package and is pretty fun to play.

You sir are my idol, triple banshee, how I love that jack though I only have one. I am considering getting two more vyre chassis but I will probably make two sphinx of which I have none at the moment. I love Thyron just wish his feat were more game changing than it is, still its not the most useless out there. I believe every list is a netlist on the rise if you are proficient enough with it.

Well, if those shyeel jerks would play ball with Vyre in forges, I'd play even more banshees lol. Yeah, Thyrons feat is hit or miss, at least it's only needing the model to activate in his CTRL( also sidestep can help vs stupid grym clocks). Usually I just keep him back far enough not to get murdered, but close enough to clear jammers out. Hes very finnicky, but I like having options. I've been pairing gary2 with thryon, as I don't own any tridents and dont plan on shelling out for some anytime soon. And gary in legions covers most the stuff that slaughters thryon, so it seems a good pair. Again, not going to WTC but for semi competitive those two get work done.
Good luck in Singapore!

Well Singapore went poorly for me, no successes though a lot of fun, beer and experience gained. Played Ravyn a few times, found her better than expected yet got assasinated a couple of times. Played a lot of G2 but moved him out of defenders and into legions where the better quality troops bought more return. Gore4 also lost but put up the best show also in legions. Play testing will continue.

Glad to hear you had fun! Any lessons about rayvn learned? Havent touched her since mk2 (yes, snipe feat go ruined my expectations moving forward). She looks interesting, just overshadowed by issyria currently I think. What did you run with scary gary? I took him to a steamroller last month with thryon. My double sents did ok, ran them into grymkin child and did ok, although had a lucky streak (dude rolled 4 4s, needing 5, to hit 3 sents and then missed a forcehammer on a siren for me to win on scenario). Did you have good success with him? Thryon got anhiliated by harby, man harby is rough for non trident ret I feel like. Thryon did survive a game vs kaelyssa due to bladeshield. Overall, i was happy with his performance. His storm raged solos did work, and the triple banshee battlegroup did serious work everygame. I even eeked out 3 scenario points vs harby and crit grievious a bunch of initates on feat turn with a banshee, before harby crushed my army and spirit (opponent was a great sport and I wasnt as good, just man that list gives me fits as ret). He might be better in team formats where he can dodge bad matchups. Otherwise, I think hes gonna be only a funsie caster in the current wide scenario tough/healing and infantry hating meta. Just my humble opinion tho

all friends who played ret basicly quit. one in particular lost all interest once the hype was gone with CID. knowing what was coming just wasn't appealing to him, and PP also got rid of their forums and magazine.
soooo he kinda bailed near the start of MK3.
when out of sheer curiosity he asked how ret was he was annoyed by the entire trident debacle.

I enjoyed Rayvan, she brings guns that hit and output herself. Snipe on hyperion was good and with feat use the focus to boost damage. Found i needed a shield guard as got shot back. She was quick and deadly and i will try her again. Destor and invictors suit her. G2 plays with anyone but i like one good unit for occultation so i was using nyss hunters in defenders but shifted to legion where destors and sentinels are both good under feat as high mat. Banshee and harpies good for feat shot also ,slam and knockdown both stop a charge some times.

Personally, I'm looking for going back oldschool, and see if the Void Archon would make Vyros2 griffins viable again. That list never really weakened, but powercreep made it less competetive. Another problem was that with the mk3 change to synnergy, griffins had a tough time putting hurt on heavies, meaning your main threat was limited to your heavies and/or colossals.
With the Void Archon being the cost of one griffin, you can now stack Griffins up to pow20 and with entropic aura counter touch and rapid healing stuff. And you still get to hand out 6 focus with the requisition cards and get shield guard on all the jacks.

I want to run the Griffon list with a Void, thinking of pairing it with Rahn for shiggles. Something along these lines: conflictchamber.com/?c5201b_-1Xk-1g1g439v3y3y3yoR4L3MhMhMmgmgmgmgmp___-1Xb-2w2w2w2wmshQ3y3y3y4LoNhMhMmpmpRetribution [Theme] Forges of War !!!

My Meta has a good chunk of Menoth in it including a very very good Sevy1/Harby player who plays in Faithful. If I know I can bait out Sevy by having Rahn in the pair, I would want Vyros to be able to handle him.
