Hey Guys,
Total Circle noob here. Was hoping some kind person would build me a couple of 50 point lists that can handle Khador and Cryx. I really like the look of Kromac 2 and Kaya 1 so far. Wolves appeal to me most.
Thanks in advance.

Hey man, not to be one of those guys but using a list someone built for you if your a circle noob as you say wouldnt be much different than you just building one on your own.
Im not sure what models you own either so i can just hand out advice on kaya since i have little with kromac. Kayas whole thing is having her wolves fly in deeeeep and going ham on a jack coming out way ahead in the piece trade game then spirit dooring them back to safety while infantry jam for you. The stalker is pretty rad here because her mat boost she gives it, plus its a wolf with a sword. Take at least someone with primal. I like feral because hes pretty flexible but gorax works.
If you have the wayfarer solo he makes charges and slams free with hunters mark also some extra range. Just dont charge outta her control. With those free charges you can use purebloods with assault sprays (not bad vs people who play way back) then door him back. The wild argus dogs become slambots. Vs living you can animus then slam and hit pretty much all the time. Vs jacks you take a negitive to hit (because they are a larger base) but sometimes slams matter, or just a solid charge combo strike.
She doesnt do much for infantry because you mostly want stealth on her. I just use mine to jam up jacks so they cant counter charge my beasts after a solid stones and spirit door pounding. I use the mannikins here because they are great. Placing in the maintenance phase means they can aim and spray, sometimes getting back strikes. Mostly they are there to force movement issues though.
As far as kaya goes...probably best to let her beast do the work. Spirit fang prevents charges (because of -spd) but at fury 6 and the spell needing to do damage its not really worth it. Her soothing song thing can let you run some hot beasties paired with stones but thats a lot of guys begging to be hit with a blast. Remember just because she has stealth doesnt mean they wont blast a def 5 stone right next to her and boost the splash damage. On her feat turn you can get crazy and go in melee and hope for a crit knockdown. Then prey that some beast comes in behind her for the kill. Or just spirit fang a bunch, ive gotten some that way.
Vs cryx i havent played her yet in mk3 sooo all i can say is watch for spooky ghosts.
Vs khador, a lot of people have problems with them bringing so much armor. I think as long as you are trading up (killing lots for less) using the sassy tactics up top you can come out ahead. Abuse terrain because khador are slow, you might be able to just walk away and be safe but it all comes down to who they bring knowing threat ranges of khador dudes. Best of luck dude.

At the moment I have a Warpwolf Stalker and shifting stones lol. Perhaps a better question would be, what is the best way to spend my money early on? I don't want to pull in lots of different directions (Wolds, Wolves, Birds) just yet - I'd like to focus on Wolves for now.

Here are a couple you could try. I tried to make sure to use as much overlap while suggesting models with more universal appeal across other casters: conflictchamber.com/#bo0O_-0q3Q4O5H5l5j5j5f5ocp4U4Wgu__fc4OgZ5H5l5A5e5egsCircle Army - 50 / 50 points [Theme] The Wild Hunt (Kaya 1) Kaya the Wildborne [+32] - Feral Warpwolf [18] - Scarsfell Griffon [8] - Warpwolf Stalker [19] War Wolf [2] War Wolf [2] Shifting Stones [3] Warpborn Skinwalkers (max) [15] - Warpborn Skinwalker Alpha [0(4)] Wolves of Orboros (max) [11] - Wolves of Orboros Chieftain & Standard [4] Fuel Cache (Steamroller) [0] Circle Army - 50 / 50 points (Kromac 2) Kromac, Champion of the Wurm [+28] - Feral Warpwolf [18] - Loki [19] - Scarsfell Griffon [8] - Warpwolf Stalker [19] - Druid Wilder [4] Sentry Stone & Mannikins [5] Sentry Stone & Mannikins [5] Bunker (Steamroller) [0] Kaya1 does Cryx as that list has both some staying power in the skinwalkers and infantry clearing in the wolves (ambushing because of theme). The large amount of stealth it can use also gives you play into gun lines (except Sloan ... don't play against Cygnar ... they cheat). Note that the beasts have tracking from the theme force so use forests to your advantage. Kromac2's list lets you cheat trades with Loki which should help vs Kahdor heavies while giving you some LOS blocking with the sentry stones to help deliver the rest of the list.

I would avoid war wolves. You should focus on models that are useful in a lot of lists imo.
* All the warpwolves are great (and you can magnetize their arms). * Gorax Rager * Sentry Stones * Woldwyrds * Blackclad Wayfarers * Bloodtrackers * Wolves of Orboros + CA
Also, keep in mind that unless you're in a tournament, you shouldn't have issues proxying stuff with other models that are similar looking with the correct base size.
And if you're interested in kromac2, you should seriously consider the circle 2017 army box that's still available on sites like discountgames.
