Hey guys, scrolled through this thread until around page 8, I was wondering if you had gone back to take a look at Skarre1&2 since models like Axiara, Severa and the Blood Priestess have released.
Just getting back into Warmachine with Skarre1&2, and somewhat scratching my head with how to build her in Scourge Of the Broken Coast Theme Force.

Personally 95% of my Scourge lists start like:
War Room Army
Cryx - New Army
Theme: Scourge of the Broken Coast 3 / 3 Free Cards 71 / 75 Army
Satyxis Blood Priestess- PC: 0 Severa Blacktide - PC: 0 Axiara Wraithblade - PC: 0 Satyxis Raiders - Leader & 9 Grunts: 16 - Satyxis Raider Sea Witch - PC: 4 Satyxis Raiders - Leader & 9 Grunts: 16 - Satyxis Raider Sea Witch - PC: 4 Satyxis Blood Witches - Leader & 9 Grunts: 13 - Satyxis Blood Hag - PC: 4 Satyxis Gunslingers - Leader & 2 Grunts: 7 Satyxis Gunslingers - Leader & 2 Grunts: 7
The caster I haven’t built this way in SotBC is Scaverous. The last 4 points vary. Sometimes I want a Raider Captain, sometimes a Misery Cage or two, sometimes a few more points in Battlegroup, but this 71 is almost always consistent.

Interesting list build, how does it deal with Colossals and Battle Engines?
Here is what I have come up with so far, but I am wondering if trying to get 4 Slayers instead of the jacks I am currently taking would help me crack armor with Skarre1's feat
Skarre 1 -Reaper -Seether -Seether
Max Satyxis Raiders -UA Max Satyxis Raiders -UA Max Blood Witches -UA Satyxis Gunslingers
Severa (Free) Axiara (Free) Raider Captain (Free)
75/75
I like the Seethers for their Focus efficiency with Skarre1, and the Reaper looks decent for pulling a heavy into the Seether's charge ranges to help keep them from rocketing forwards unsupported.
But, it just seems like my list will also struggle with something like a Blightbringer, so would it just be better to focus on scenario or assassination in those kind of matchups?

I have not revisited any of the old posts since the new releases, but people are always welcome to contribute, like you guys have.
As far as satyxis dealing with heavy armor, against warmachine it isn't too bad because half of your list has feedback and can try and do the death from 1000 cuts to their warcaster. You don't need to kill the warjack or colossal because the more 1-2 point damage charges they get against it, the most damage the opposing caster takes, and can then be easily assassinated from whatever finisher you have in the list. Now of course, hordes is harder because feedback doesn't work on beasts. But Hordes tend to have slightly lower arm and boxes without buffs (with few exceptions). Your chain weapons already ignore shields that crank up the survivability of a lot of jacks and beasts.
Against battle engines...that can be a problem as its almost a waste of resources to deal with them because it will take a really concentrated effort to drop them and your list needs to be focused on other things. Unfortunately you just cant ignore something like a war wagon either because it will mow your guys over left unchecked.

Finally updated the table of contents with Skarre 3 additions. If I get time, I will revisit some of the old slaughter fleet raiders and scourge write ups.

Is it me, or did all of my witch coven posts disappear?

I fixed the witch coven links in the table of contents. Let me know if any other problems are there.

Added page numbers relevant to conversations and builds for the different warcasters on page 1. That should make things easier to find.

Let me know if any other problems are there. Some of the links in the table of contents are misformed. They have an extra "http." in the address, like https:// http.lormahordes.freeforums.net/post/whatever. Looks like it's all the links for Lich Lord Asphyxious, Lich Lord Terminus, Lich Lord Venethrax, and Master Necrotech Mortenebra and Deryliss.

Thanks NephMakes for pointing those out. I had looked at Mortenebra's yesterday and they worked fine for me, I will have to double check. Fixing. I double checked and tried out the links they seem to be working fine. Thanks for looking though, maybe someone else went in and fixed them?

I double checked and tried out the links they seem to be working fine. It seems to be an HTTPS thing. I run Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere. Vanilla Chrome resolves both kinds of link fine (lormahordes.freeforums.net and http.lormahordes.freeforums.net), but Firefox gives me a warning: "Your connection is not secure. The owner of http.lormahordes.freeforums.net has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website." The "advanced" info says: "http.lormahordes.freeforums.net uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: ssl538179.cloudflaressl.com, *.freeforums.net, freeforums.net Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" Maybe drop the "http." from the links that have it for better usability across browsers and/or browser addons?

Even after all this time, I keep coming back to this thread for advice. It really is a goldmine of experience and knowledge.

I am glad you are getting some use out of it, it makes the time investment worth it.
