Hey all!
My local group are having a fun tournament soon where we play a who's the boss but with the worst two casters from each faction. This is voted for by the local players of each faction to decide...
Thought it would be fun to share it here and see what lists you would come up with and what casters you think would be comedy or broken or worthless?
The rules are 25pts of battlegroup and no themes... Oh, and the prize? THE MUCH COVETED GOLDEN STURGIS!
Casters:
Cygnar : Sturgis1 and ConnieB
Protectorate (Menoth) : Kreoss 2, Feora2
Khador : Koslov, Zerkova2
Cryx : Sturgis2, Denny2
Ret : Garryth, Ravyn
Convergence : Aurora, Syntherion
Trollbloods : Borka1, Madrak1
Circle : Kaya1, Morvahna 1
Skorne : Xekaar, Mordikaar
Legion : Kryssa (winner of Midlands!), Bethayne
Minions : Midas, Jaga-Jaga
SO yeah, what list would you take? Who would be silly? I for one want to roll Syntherion. Because synergy.

Saeryn1 and Abby1 I would say. Both not really cutting edge competitively tbh. Maybe Kryssa for being all over the place and not doing anything good enough.

What's the point of "Who's the boss?" with fixed casters? I mean, the base premise of it is having a fixed army but random caster...

I would've voted for Kryssa and Saeryn personally. Bethayne can run a fun Swordsmen list in Children for the sweet 5d6 on the charge.EDIT: Forgot that it was battlegroup only, which mostly hoses Bethayne. cainuslupus What's your reasoning behind Abby1? And would if limited to 2, would you sub Kryssa for Saeryn or Abby1? @op Maybe consider a gunline with Kryssa for the 3"R epo with counterpunch feat? |

We can end up with any of those casters guys. Not just for your faction. I refer to hoping to roll Syntherion.
What army would you take to make the most of the possibilities?

I would have said Kryssa, but some people seem to be winning with her. Bethayne is actually really good. She has a killer spell list. Her feat is just geared towards running Blight Wasps next to hard targets, which is lame.

I don't think the BG-only setup fits with this line-up, not having a feat *reeeally* suck for Conny, Jaga and Bethayne, but if you guys still have fun with it, it's still okay I guess. I guess I would take Cygnar or Khador jacks, as they have enough dual-purpose jacks which aren't extremly expensive and the line-up has some casters with nifty spells for ranged attacks... be it straight up Snipe, Sentry or porting Hunters with pKaya. But after all it's wonky anyway, so who cares?  |

Sorry. 75pt list but 25 BG.
Was gonna a take a Ravagore, Proteus, Succubus and Swordsmen? Whack in a Hellmouth and Deathstalkers and fill with Seraph, Naga and Fury Support

Ravagore is nice with the mentioned gun buffs. After that...I basically agree with all your choices, with the exception that I would give Typhon a higher priority. He's awesome without any caster support already.

She is also very vulnerable to upkeep hate (Eilish). |

Absylonia 1's feat encourages your opponent to focus fire and kill any warbeast that hasn't been Grievously Wounded, which is exactly what they should be doing against Hordes anyway.
Saeryn 1 needs to crutch on Thrones or her toolkit just doesn't really work, so I'd pick her as the second.

Saeryn 1 needs to crutch on Thrones or her toolkit just doesn't really work, so I'd pick her as the second. In other words her Feat creates no questions and relies on opponent rolling poorly/being bad. Her toolkit is also not that great and she can't really run beast heavy like Abby2 while having literary no support for infantry (she had at least Carnivore in MK2). I would like for her Feat to also remove continuous effects, KD, Stationary, GW - all shakeable stuff. That way it would be somehow useful. |
