Not the greatest news for the Empire but I guess not "bad"
Tied for 8th in respect to factions. 1/3 of Circle
Reasonable diversity of themes. Wolves on top and then close grouping for second among AC, WG and Jaws
OW2 comes out on top. Then most everything else. No Butcher 1, 2, Hark, Lord Goat, OW1, Sorscha2, Irusk1 or Andy1. Lots of Fenris in the Wolves lists but perhaps with OW2 that makes a lot of sense.
A fair number of Wolves+AC pairs. Looking to dodge/avoid Sprays.
And you better have an answer to Cockatrices - 265 of them ;-) I guess why Fenris ;-)

It's actually a fair spread of caster, considering the relatively low number of khador players.
I'm surprised Vlad2 isn't more popular, I'm also surprised at the low number of outriders in people's list, even in the Vlad2 lists.
Cool to see our new themes get played, couple of Vlad3 Warrior of the old faith and even one Zerkova1 Flames even tho most of the models of that theme aren't out yet.
I still think you're overblowing how scared of sprays we should be, well depending on the list of course, but we do have lists that can play into that at least well enough for it to be a game.

I agree. I think we have decent game into Grymkin....but I also think that anti-healing a key thing into both it and Harby.....ergo Fenris who gets stronger as he kills. I am seriously thinking of putting him into my Wolves/Vlad list at some point.

Any links to these lists?
And yeah, Fenris is very good in Wolves, do try him. Plus I agree with auraco that you're overly scared of sprays.
Cheers, Dave

Having skimmed the lists I'd say that's pretty excellent for us. Thirteen different casters, every theme represented.
Our dominant theme is Wolves, but even then there's an even spread between OW2, V2 and S1 (plus a couple of Z2)
Vlad2, OW2, Sorscha1 and Irusk2 are all present running multiple themes.
Yeah, there's some great diversity there

Seems like people are fans of the Decimator with Sorscha1. Makes sense because she is?essentially one big rat fixer. Still on the fence about it though, because of the lack of range on its gun. Does anyone here have some experience with the piece?

The wolves CID was actually great for Fenris, I've been using him in my Vlad2 list and he's been doing great so far, Arcane might might have something to do with it. Grevious wounds is very valuable in a LOT of match ups.

I'd say they worked around the clock this time to get them all out.

It was a close call with the outriders tbh. I decided against it, because with 3 units of ternions I have enough pow 12 shooting that likes HoF. I think OW2 took Vlad2 is some spot, because some believe they can play into Ret that way, and she may be better into B1 Tharn and K2. Grymkin in general are a very good Matchup for WoW and especially Vlad2. You just have to play your Uas right. And I love 3 UAs in that matchup. I recently played 2 games against Dreamer and Child both with 4 clocks and he could rarely heal and never had a good sacrifice.

skathrex, is yours the Vlad 2, triple Ternion list? I like it.

Yeah. I was sceptical at first but they are really good. Every infantry that dies to them becomes really bad in the MU. They help ease Vlads focus by reducing enemy def and they help reavers approach with clouds.

When I bring one unit Infind they get some clouds out but don’t have much left to attack. Perhaps with multiple units you can always run one or 2 to play for board position?
