I have not played that many games vs. Infernals, so I am no expert. But in the couple I have played, a strategy based around removing all the marked souls would have been entirely useless. Opponents always brought tons of them, and had no problems keeping a few safe. as someone who plays infernals. all infernals summon 1 horror on turn 1. avarage is 5-7 marked souls. by the time you can kill marked souls on the field its turn 2. so lets assume that of the 7 marked souls you kill...2 on turn 2. he now has 3 marked souls left. most likely 2 at the end of his turn. every marked soul lost is a horror DEAD and is another horror you don't have to deal with. on top of that marked souls in of itself are valuable pieces on their own. (minus saxon) killing 2-3 5 hp models beats killing 2-3 24hp models.

I wonder what you think about this list [Durst 1] Anson Durst, Rock of the Faith [+28] - Crusader [10] - Crusader [10] - Dervish [7] - Dervish [7] - Hierophant [3] Champion of the Order of the Wall [8] Champion of the Order of the Wall [8] High Paladin Dartan Vilmon [6] Menite Archon [8] Menite Archon [8] The Covenant of Menoth [4] Vassal of Menoth [3] Vassal of Menoth [3] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Initiates of the Wall [0(7)] Initiates of the Wall [0(7)] Initiates of the Wall [0(7)] Shrine of the Lawgiver [14] i'd drop the shrine, replace the crusaders with indictors. use the remaining 6 points for regular paladins and wracks? like i don't see much recursion happening with the shrine or what would ghostly even work on other then the champions?

Ignoring shields is worth a lot more than people give it credit for, exactly for the reason you gave. His expected damage trumps the Dervish when there's a good target with a shield. Look at Loki. Armor 19 with a shield, 17 without. At dice -1, not only do you out threaten him with Boundless Charge, but you also average doing over half his health with just the power up focus on you. If he gets the jump on you, due to Circle actually having a plethora of movement shenanigans, then Loki still has to hit Effective DEF 17 at MAT 7. I see him as more of a light and solo hunter, though. Drakuns, Champions, Sentinels, Griffons, Totem Hunters, Renegades, and any shield wall infantry have to be wary when a Purifier is on the table. on that note. shield or no shield. PS 15(16 with eye) should do pretty well into hordes. and with infernal horrors beeing "living" creatures, they are surprisingly dodgey against alot of things. i think horde wise they might fall short vs skorne since they sure love their imortals atm. Back on DURST though. If you Don't want to run FM how would you play him?

I like Purifiers with him more than Dervishes. Both are going to struggle against armor, but Purifiers can help on scenario play. you can still get them to p+s 16 using sevy and choir. knowing most warbeast sits at armor 18 thats something. plus they ignore shields....for what it is worth.

This might be interesting to try. Its something Ive been thinking about. DEF15 dervishes are fun. ARM18 vs ranged/magic. On feat they ate 15/20 vs melee, 15/22 vs ranged magic. Just buddy them up and explode out in pairs when ready. Theme: The Creator's Might 75 / 75 Army 0 / 20 Specialist Stockpile - Steamroller Objective Anson Durst, Rock of the Faith - WJ: +28 - Hierophant - PC: 3 - Indictor - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 14) - Indictor - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 14) - Dervish - PC: 7 - Dervish - PC: 7 - Dervish - PC: 7 - Dervish - PC: 7 - Dervish - PC: 7 - Dervish - PC: 7 Vassal of Menoth - PC: 0 Vassal of Menoth - PC: 0 Exemplar Warder - PC: 0 Scrutator Potentate Severius - PC: 0 - Redeemer - PC: 11 The Covenant of Menoth - PC: 4 Exemplar Warder - PC: 5 Wrack - PC: 1 Wrack - PC: 1 Choir of Menoth - Leader & 3 Grunts: 4 Choir of Menoth - Leader & 3 Grunts: 4 i got a Horde heavy meta. imma steal this idea but use purifiers. granted they are more expensive but..vs living warbeasts they would be def 17

If she gets angry every turn rather than round that's pretty good. Coupled with Hand of Vengeance seems like a good round 4+ finisher. So with blazing effigy feat, if I run 3 dervishes into my opponent's caster, I get to make 3 auto hitting power 13s (boostable damage)? Add a menite archon there to make em pwr 15s. Hopefully one of her spells is last stand or primed Im pretty sure its the start of her turn, not each players turn. Wills description made that pretty clear. probably start of turn. her mechanic sounds like it should occur during maintenance face.

besides the cultural implication because it has been brought up in the pass. none of the races are compatible with one and another. back in the old DnD days they made a point of it how all races just...don't mix. and interracial couples are often seen as...WEIRD.
not that beeing weird is discouraged but..social stigma and all that.

Found a potential leak. This same source gave a leak about helga2 but was wrong about helga her spell list.
So maybe there be truth in this.
Feora4
Every turn she gets an anger token Anger tokens never go away There is no way to get rid of them She gets +1 Str for every Anger token At 5 anger tokens she gains +2 FOC for the rest of the game Spite - whenever anyone causes an upkeep to expire in her ctrl area, they take a number of damage equal to the number of anger tokens she has
Can remove Immunity: Fire Has Caustic Presence: Fire
She has multiple upkeeps (Death March, plus some other upkeeps) Field Marshal Aggressive Hand of Vengeance Feat is Blazing Effigy for her entire battlegroup

First of all i want to thank you all for the positive feedback. i plan on writing more battle reports and making more. I had a game last night in wich i fully intended to make a report off but forgot to make pics...or notes. (silly me) that beeing said, I have been hating on my first faction due to lame reasons again. belgian masters had plenty of menoth players all of them having the EXACT SAME harby list. and i don't say that cuz of the initiates i say that because they were 100% identical. because of this i am diving deeper into Jank and seeing if i can whip up more "lol" armies and potentially do well with them. that beeing said, i'm looking back at old loved casters from mk2. Thyra and madelyn had a funky 17" non linear threath. (no more sadly) but still she was fun. i want to revist that. conflictchamber.com/?c2201b_-1O3K3NgS7j3Sf73s3U3z3z2_2MdSdSProtectorate [Theme] Guardians of the Temple [Thyra 1] Thyra, Flame of Sorrow [+29] - Blood of Martyrs [16] - Eye of Truth [20] Anastasia di Bray [3] Nicia, Tear of Vengeance [0(5)] Pyrrhus, Flameguard Hero [0(5)] Reclaimer Gatekeeper [3] - Sanctifier [14] Vassal of Menoth [0(3)] Vassal of Menoth [0(3)] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Daughters of the Flame [10] Flame Bringers (max) [17] Flame Bringers (max) [17] i was hoping for some feedback on this list.

i'm gonna see if i can find a spare Edrea Lloryrr somewhere. file the ears of that model and just use her head instead of feora's.
i'm not a fan of the head beeing comically large.
that or use F3's head as suggested elsewhere. Still need to see the model.

A structure irusk!!!! That would be insane, what like a field base or something? Irusk decides the flag he was carrying in his epic incarnation was not big enough. The new Khador warcaster-structure is a giant Khadoran flag, taller than a Colossal. It's so big that there's enough room for a spiral staircase inside the flagpole, that emerges to a small platform on the top with one of those fixed binocular viewing stations mounted to the protective rail. Irusk is standing at the top, using it to peer over the battlefield. i don't play khador and i would buy this.
