Couple of topics to address;
What is our best pairing right now?
I can't speak for everyone, but I play in a very spread meta - there isn't an overflow of one faction or another, meaning when I play I can generally not worry about having a set 'faction drop'. That said, the one boogeyman that everyone is afraid of right now, (CRYX!) is a factor, played by one of the top players in the country (and I always end up playing him in tournaments as well!)
My current pairing is Amon (Creator's might), Vindictus (Exemplar Interdiction).
Amon did really well for me at the beginning of the year, but I've found him creeping down in effectiveness as tournaments have come and gone. Perhaps that's an indication of my skill as I play more difficult opponents, maybe it's an indication of Steamroller changing the way that games go. Maybe I just need to get gud, because I'm a scrub.
Vindictus is doing very well for me, but I'm not sure if it's just the fact he's fairly (?) rare for most players to use. Which leads me to a follow-up question...
Is Amon a known quantity for most players now? He's the strongest warjack caster in the Protectorate, was the most taken caster in the WTC, and is a beacon for any Protectorate player with designs in Creator's Might. Most Protectorate players have a go-to Amon list, and it thus follows that most opponents will face Amon, and learn how to deal with him.
And as a final follow-up follow-up question...
Who else would you pair with Vindictus?
I've recently come into ownership of Reznik2, Thyra, Blood of Martyrs, Scourge of Heresy, two units of Flame Bringers and two units of Vengers. Inside that cluster of models (which I got for an extremely good price) I can see a couple of lists forming in my head that look like they have some real strong potential. I'd love to get some community dojo on this.
The time of Protectorate answering questions is over. It is time for Protectorate to start doing the asking.
