This theme force is amazing, i've had a great time playing it, my opponents not to much. Do you still play outside of tier so you can use our infantry? I can't see why anyone would play out of tier, but i hope when the new theme forces arrive they are equally as good while promoting a different set of models. I feel like CoC is kinda in a weird spot going forward because of this theme. Anyway here is one of my new Fav lists. It makes other people sad.

You can get up t 20 free points of Servitors. That's a pretty nice advantage. I recall some people playing with infantry lists before the theme force came out, but afterwards, they mostly died off. I'm hoping that there's a troop theme coming at some point. Maybe an updated version of Axis' old theme?

Personally, I have the troops and I'll get around to using them once I'm tired of Vectors and Servitors.

20 servitors are amazing. It's ironic that we would bring so few of them in a non-Theme list, but now we want to bring as many as we can because they're free (probably says something about their current PC). If they were only free and had no other benefits you could make an argument for troops, but since they also get Shield Guard and you have 2" extra deployment, the Theme is a no-brainer.

I really do miss Axis' Mk2 Theme, but lets be honest, it was OP as hell. 30 bodies that could come back 12 at a time? With sprays, shield wall, reach, chain attack and whatnot? It was infuriating for opponents to have to kill a heavily armed shield wall medium troop, only to have it come back next turn and join in on the carnage. I'm a little sad they nerfed it so hard, almost wish they gave us the option to sac movement or combat. Right now the only good troop lists are using Reciprocators due to them being able to participate in Shield Wall after they sac their Combat.
