Hello y'all. I've just started with circle and I'm planning to participate in a joureytourney in a couple of weeks. This is also a great motivator to get shit done with painting =) so, as you might guess I'm looking for advice on what to take and when. The format is the alternative one, so we stop at 30pts. This it what I have:
Tanith (I'm leaning towards tanith as I want to learn more how to play circle, her spell list and warbeast points).
Kaya3
Kromac 2
Stalker
Pureblood
Gorax Rager
Wild Argus
Loki
Ghetorix
Gnarlhorn
Razorwing Griffon
Scarsfell Griffon
Wayfarer
Shifting stones
Una1
2 gallowgroves
Thanks!

Do it! Tanith is a cool caster, and a decently strong one at that. All of those models have different uses into different armies, for a journeyman, start with the battlebox and pick whatever you like best! Learn by trial and error, but just remember that the first time you throw a new model out there it's probably going to die, as is tradition lol, so don't get discouraged. Maybe it just has a different use.
A super brief and basic summary:
Good into infantry: Stalker, Pureblood, both Griffons, Argus, Gorax, Ghetorix is decent as well
Good into high ARM: Ghetorix, Stalker, Pureblood, Loki is decent as well
Good into high DEF: Ghetorix, Argus, Wayfarer
Good utility effect: Loki, Wayfarer, Shifting Stones, Gorax, Scarsfell, Gallows Grove
and I've never used Una1, but she's seems great with birds!

I've played circle a little bit and I'm shocked of how fun they are to play. I would love to bring the gnarlhorn and then the stalker, but until the CID is live that is sadly not possible =P

Yeah, it'll probably be at least another month or two before CID changes drop. You could always go point light one week to pick up something more expensive the following week. And I totally agree, Circle is an absolute blast to play, I really like lists that make you think about synergies and piece trading, and Circle definitely offers both of those well. |

I’m looking at breaking out Circle for a Journeyman league soon too. Does anyone have list progression advice, if I want to end up playing Tharn? What casters would be good to try out with them, if I were to switch away from Tanith?

Baldur 1 is great with tharn. Although I haven't done a journeyman this is the progression I would probably go. This is dependant on the BG, BG+20, BG+50 steps

Your advice was spot on, and the cid came online just in time. I can gladly say I won all matches except the last one, and all models performed as expected, except the argus who over performed every single time. Holy shitballs are they fun to play. Thanks for the advice! |
