Naaresh 75 pts - Dusting off my Skorne

Why choose? Naaresh is currently in ADR, so you can switch Agonizer and Krea around as you wish thanks to the flexibility of the bellows crew. In general I'd say the Agonizer is the better choice with him as you will probably feat defensively into ranged lists anyway. Same for the Soulward, it's an excellt ADR piece as it either does nothing or decides the game.

I'm not a fan of the Karax UA at all, but if you're sold on it, I guess that's that. If you should reconsider: Bellows Crew + Karax UA + Master Tormentor is 10p, the same cost as an Archidon. And Archidons are boss, maybe something to consider for ADR. I like your beast loadout (aside from the absence of the Archidon). It's bricky, but that's to be expected with an ARM feat.

That said, I personally dislike Naaresh, but that might be related to me just not getting him. So once you get some games with him in please be so kind as to tell me/us how he plays.

Oh and welcome back to Skorne! You have arrived at the best possible time.

Thanks for the feedback. I have some Archidons on the way, so I'll have to give them a try once I've assembled them.

sard - I'm also building a Mordikaar list to hopefully pair with Naaresh. How are you running the Hydra with him?

I lost only one game to the champion of the tournament who had Nemo3 with 11 horses and I ended up loosing really stupid by assasination through leaps on Nemo feat. Even though, I managed to win Amon twice with both lists(when playing Mordi, I took Molik and gladiator from ADR, in the end just killed Amon with ghostly archidon, while Naaresh just steamrolled on my feat turn his robots with my titans), won the Tree and some Legion (though he was casterlocked with lilith2 on the last tour, so I just picked Naaresh and smashed everything).

The ideas behind the lists quite simple. Naaresh is awesome against shooting and some hard-hitting list, he manages to kill high armour really well. Also it was my only idea against the Cygnar now. It has Orin to stop telekinesis, really high armour that can stand against Nemo3 and does enough damage to push through the double colossal Stryker. The only thing that Naaresh doesn't like is the infantry WM spam, even it doesn't kill the heavies, it jamms them. That's why I have swordsmen in ADR and Mordikaar as a second list. Mordikaar si awesome in killing infantry and in case there is some decent amount of heavies on the other side of the table, he takes Molik and Gladiator. Molik with def 16 is awesome and he is almost as dangerous as in mk2. So theese lists cover each other pretty good.
