I have only one game against Grymkin so don't have much of an opinion yet. However one podcast I was listening to talked about the way to fight them being to bring a mixed arms list, the reasoning being that Grymkin could shut down either melee hard or ranged hard, so having a mixed arms force allowed you to switch to whatever mode they were not countering. Do people think that is an accurate assessment?

Do people think that is an accurate assessment? I would agree. I think the best way to play them is to try and bait out arcana. Last time I played them at Nova. I would do little activations first trying to bait out Reckoning on the turn I really wanted to use spells and feat. I killed a crap ton of infantry that turn because he could not cast ruin and could not auto dispell my first hellmouth with wurmy. I also feated which caused reckoning to be wasted. Arcana are a thinking game between you and your opponent. It is like a minigame that you play turn by turn. It takes a lot of work to play around but I really enjoy how much they make each player think.

Not really. You can beat grymkin without rfp. Agreed. I may have been playing Band of Heroes and had RFP, but I blew up the battle engine before I killed a single model. I feel that my local Grymkin player plays that thing too aggressively, but he's been at it since they came out and seems not to agree with me.

The death knell should be like...close to the last dead thing. He's playing it too aggressively.
