I have been trying to tech my Calaban list for cryx somewhat. It covers ghost fleet well, and all sorts of infantry spam in other factions as well. The problem I am having right now is dark host. I've only got two games in against dark host and I am working on my time management because I clocked myself both games trying to chew through all the banes.
War Room Army
Minions - Ghost fleet
Theme: The Blindwater Congregation 3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Armory - Steamroller Objective
Calaban, The Grave Walker - WB: +29 - Ironback Spitter - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 15) - Ironback Spitter - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 14) - Blind Walker - PC: 12
Sacral Vault - PC: 17 Sacral Vault - PC: 17
Bog Trog Mist Speaker - PC: 0 Totem Hunter - PC: 0 Bog Trog Mist Speaker - PC: 0 Swamp Gobber Chef - PC: 1
Croak Raiders - Leader & 9 Grunts: 17 Croak Raiders - Leader & 5 Grunts: 10
THEME: The Blindwater Congregation ---
I'm liking the list, but I dont like having to throw out parasite on the knights, but am not sure if I want to drop theme for brigands. I was using two arc nodes which I liked but I needed to get out more corrosion on the high arm targets.
And playing into cryx I feel like I ha e to have the croaks to fuel my vaults, also setting banes on fire is good.
Anyone else trying this? Or have thoughts? I figure with this in my pairing, I'm never going to actually get the GF matchup so this needs to cover dark host just as well.

So I just went to DGI to get some inspiration and see what might be happening with calaban, and found this exact list from a 1st place team tournament, so I could be onto something here, and maybe I just need more practice with it, I swear I didn't copy it from DGI haha.

Rickard will be discussing this list and those games on the next ep of A Matter of Pact.

Wait, is Rickard still on the pod? I thought he quit entirely and only plays 40k.

This is nearly the exact same list I came up with to run into ghost fleet. The best part is fake host really struggles with it too.

I struggled really bad into dark host with it. I clocked twice trying to kill the banes. And was going to lose on scenario. My opponent knew I was starved for souls so he did everything he could to RFP my croaks and deny as many as he could, which he did a very good job of doing. And having to boost damage or paraiste to bring down the 20 knights is taxing on the vaults and on the spitters. I still haven't been able to play it into ghost fleet yet, but I imagine it's less of a pain.
Admitted I think my struggles are some poor early positioning on my part and 2 mistakes I made in feat turn in another game.
