Are you playing a by-the-books journeyman league or are there any changes? What are the rules for the respective segments? What kind of list would you like to work towards?

Are you playing a by-the-books journeyman league or are there any changes? What are the rules for the respective segments? What kind of list would you like to work towards? 4 week league. Week 1 is zero points and can use any caster 1 or lower. Week 2 25 points must add at least 1 beast/jack. Themes allowed. Week 3 50 points caster change allowed. Battle engines and colossal/gargantuans allowed. Week 4 75 points |

Well that's good to know. What kind of list would you like to play? What caster appeals to you?

Hi Menalios! Based on what you have, my first thought is that taking either Xerxis might serve you well (they have the same number of beast points!).
I think X1 might support what you have best, and answer the most stuff. Start with Rhinodon, Savage, Raider. Week two, pick Masters of War and take min Karax, min Swordsmen, Willbreaker, and Agonizer. At 50 and 75, just keep adding warriors and beasts with free stuff to round it out. I think X1 runs this best, since he loves infantry. X2 could be swapped in, but it seems he'd be sad with so few beasts, and a beast brick with X2 might get swamped if other people bring lots of infantry starting in week 2.
The idea for week 2 is to lead with an Arm 21 Karax screen (23 against Melee with Agonizer!) that are Def 16 against charges. On feat turn, they're Arm 25, and your swordsman can charge through them with X1's Tactician to smack stuff with 4 dice pow 12. No Power Swell, sadly, but you can get that week 3. With Masters of War, your warriors also ignore tough, so you have a good way of hacking through other screens, and they themselves can be tough thanks to the Willbreaker. Wade through the aftermath with the beasts and X1 (who can be Def 15 Arm 22), hack your way to victory? That's what I'd try.
Fury management will be something to watch out for with this setup. You'll have to be risky or sparing with the beasts until "go time."

Thank you envoy! I will try your idea out before the league starts. zich: I am really open to anything. It seemed to me my lists started feeling similar and I was looking for some new ideas.
