[backstory]
I picked up Cryx when popularity hit rock bottom. I've played it. I thought it was capable, but it's not intriguing to me. To much of it is straightforward threat of spells or models. I mean I've got a cute trick with the Overseer, Leviation, and Scaverous. But that's the only thing I've taken to liking. I'm not going to touch GF... and Dark host is more power on top of extremely capable models before and after CiD. So instead of playing things like Denny 2, and Goreshade 1 with really odd ball stuff just for the sake of avoiding the power lists/casters. I'd like to pick up something that I wanted since starting the game...
[/backstory]
I want to pick up Protectorate (yes I have to correct myself from say "menoth" still. WIP) I want to use synergistic models with capable abilities that actually grant an advantage rather than fix an inherent flaw (*cough Legion).
Thyra, Reznik 1, Kreos 2 & 3, Durst, Tristan 2 all have my interest. Probably not the popular picks right now (That I've seen) but man do they look amazing. Reznik and Scourge are bonkers, not to mention that feat *swoon. Durst just walks up and says "No". Tristan has manifest destiny and can feasibly fully load an entire battle group on feat turn. Thyra and BoM can be absolute terrors to an enemy caster with tons of movement. Kreos 2 will shut up everyone of those "Fyanna 2 Oracles is OP" criers. Kreos 3 just hands out hands of fate to vengers units and himself, just cuz and the Knights UA mini-feat can hand-o-fate them too. It's just amazing. Even if it doesn't pan out on the table it all seems profoundly strong.
My apprehension is; Do I play the full faction? I know that sounds dumb. But I was perfectly fine buying into Minions cuz it's a tiny faction (only playing gator models). I bought Cryx because is was 25% of MSRP. I can't convince myself to buy into the Protectorate yet because I don't want the cost of buying it all new. Ebay and Barter town seem to be lacking (unpainted) army packages.
So, Do you guys rely solely on a small set of models or do you put all the possibilities into all the different lists? I haven't kept up with the state of PoM as it's been drowned out by Cryx, Cygnar, and Khador. I've tried reading through things here and it seems more positive than I've been lead to believe.
Enlighten me.
