Hello, all! I have dipped my toes into Menoth with a little bit of Sevvy1 action and Thyra theorizing, but honestly my knowledge isn’t very good. But I have a friend who is eager to jump into Exemplars but so far has had a bad time of it. We’re playing at 35 points as we learn and so far he’s tried the testament and Kreoss1 and gotten pretty much man handled, first by Cryx banes then by my Khador Butcher3 AC list. My group has encouraged him to pick a caster and stick with it for at least 5 games and those games will probably be against my same B3 list for consistency’s sake to help him learn the ropes of his own list with as few variables as possible. Our next game is tomorrow and so I wanted to offer both my list and the list he wants to run so you can help us know if he’s building his list appropriately. I don’t want him to think he’s playing tactically poor if it’s a bad matchup due to lists from the beginning. He has chosen Kreoss3 as his caster for the next five games and tomorrow this list is what he’ll be bringing:
War Room Army
Protectorate of Menoth - Kreoss
Theme: Exemplar Interdiction
1 / 1 Free Cards 35 / 35 Army
Intercessor Kreoss - WJ: +28
- Fire of Salvation - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 14)
- Purifier - PC: 8 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8)
- Dervish - PC: 7 (Battlegroup Points Used: 6)
Exemplar Warder Elias Gade - PC: 0
Exemplar Vengers - Leader & 4 Grunts: 20
Exemplar Errants - Leader & 5 Grunts: 10

THEME: Exemplar Interdiction

Again, I really don’t have much experience with these selections so I can’t help him with list building.
The following is the list I’ll be bringing. I haven’t changed anything from the last time we played and I beat his Kreoss1 list quite soundly.
War Room Army
Khador - B3 - 35 pts
Theme: Armored Corps
1 / 1 Free Cards 35 / 35 Army
Kommander Zoktavir, the Butcher Unleashed - WJ: +22
- War Argus
- Ruin - PC: 17 (Battlegroup Points Used: 17)
- Kodiak - PC: 13 (Battlegroup Points Used: 5)
Man-O-War Suppression Tanker - PC: 0
Man-O-War Kovnik - PC: 4
Man-O-War Drakhun - PC: 9
- Man-O-War Drakhun (Continued)
Man-O-War Shocktroopers - Leader & 2 Grunts: 10
- Man-O-War Shocktrooper Officer - PC: 4

So what do you think of his list in this matchup and second, what should his basic strategy be? And please believe me, I want to teach him and I want him to have a good experience. I’m not trying to get insider information to beat him even worse. The last thing I want is for him to get frustrated and quit the game. So with these lists and matchup, what would be your advice so I can help coach him toward his first win?
