Hey all ,
Got a 3 list event comming up currently looking at taking harby In ei and hr in ei. Really not sure on the third list or even the caster I feel like sev2 would be really good but i don’t want another ei list so anyone got any ideas or anything that has worked really well against them ?
Cheers

Sevvy2 Faith-full masses would be an incredible infantry drop. Run him with a Judicator, laugh at all the infantry. Sevvy alone should kill an entire unit himself over the course of the game
I run this:
Sevvy2
-Judi
-Blessing of Vengeacne
-Hierophant
Max Idrians with UA
Min Chior
Villmon
Vassal
2X Champs of the wall
2X Punch monks
2X Wrack
3X Mechanick
Its a blast to play and as a pretty incredible lawnmower effect on squishy infantry like cryx runs. Its also been successful into trolls, (champs hate Judicator sprays) and minions that are not rask or arkadius.

Cheers Stupid questions, whats the abbreviations mean and what do your two lists cover exactly? He's looking to take 2 Exemplar Interdiction Theme lists with The Harbinger and The High Reclaimer (High Reclaimer 1) to an event. He doesn't want his 3rd list to be Exemplar Interdiction and is looking for advice. willmott923 is it an event at your store? Do you know what some of the other players will be playing? The list macdaddy posted looks pretty solid. |

A few recommendations:
Sevy2 FM or CM is solid into infantry. Tough stuffs his Feat turn a bit if you're planning on denial, so beware of that with Dark Host as your matchup. He pretty much craps on Scourge of the Broken Coast, though. Between free Ashes to Ashes each turn, Rebuke, and his Feat, Sevy2's got it going on vs. infantry. If running CM, make sure to get a squad of Idrians in there for Arcane Ward and to jam charge lanes.
Reznik2 has a Feat that dictates the board and the advantage of Spellpiercer, making the Skarre1 Dark Host Wraith Engine drop veeeeery scary for your opponent. I prefer to run him in CM and take advantage of Sevy0, Repenters, and Scourge of Heresy (RAT 8 POW 15 Blessed Magical Sprays do not suck). I also run him with Madelyn so that he's basically immune to infantry attacks. It's not the greatest drop if they're threatening Slayer spam, though.
Feora1 is Cryx bane. Her Feat is unreliable on both sides of the table: you can't count on it to do what it needs to because Fire can go out and your opponent can't count on it going out so needs to plan accordingly. She also has a strong anti-infantry kit and Ignite helps her army hit hard enough so that even Temple Flameguard can punch hard enough to bang up Slayers. You can run her in a multitude of ways, though I'd look at FM Idrians/Paladin boat and Guardians with TFG, possibly double Flamebringers first.

Feora 1 in Guardians theme has typically been my anti infantry/cryx drop
Ambushing Daughters, max unit of Flamebringers and max Cleansers with UA plus Hand Of Judgment makes a great core for slaughtering infantry and backfield support
Feora's feat turn can also be a scary prospect to face. Sometimes they get lucky, but often you can count on losing at least 1/3 to 1/2 of most typical infantry that gets set on fire
Also Fire Wall provides great board control against most 1 wound infantry

Really not sure on the third list or even the caster I feel like sev2 would be really good but i don’t want another ei list so anyone got any ideas or anything that has worked really well against them ? Cheers With regards to the title of the thread, I don't think you need a good cryx/infantry drop - you have HR in EI (hopefully with a Judicator?) which is a really good Cryx drop in general. As for what your third list should be, I don't know exactly what you're likely to see at this event, but I'd suggest that you have a bit of a weakness for Grymkin in your current pair (Harby EI is a game, but it's a really uphill slog vs Dreamer). So, at the risk of suggesting you play 3x Exemplar lists, I'd suggest you play either Kreoss 3 EI or Thyra EI, both of which are pretty nice Grymkin drops. Another idea if you don't want to do 3x EI is to try the Reznik2 list in Faithful Masses, played by Marcin from Poland South at the WTC. It's a really cool list and has some game into Grymkin I think. |
