trying to make kaya1 work

After having played her two half games im a real expert on the suvbject. I think your list lacks punch. id go for a stalker over the second pureblood for sure. Does it work in practice to cast spirit door more than once unless you feat? I really doubt it.

What is the point of the arguses? They do not threaten far with their animus, so lowering DEF before assaulting seems clunky. Sure, they can charge in and do one POW 16(or 18) attack but that is about it. Perhaps they are your scenario Pieces, meant to contest and keep you from losing on scenario while your beasts hit and run?

Perhaps a shadowhorn will do that better. It can go in and throw sonething for your stalker to finish off. It can then sprint and be far back without spirit door. The shadowhorn is pretty annoyning to kill with set defense and dodge. Might be an idea...




I played her with tharn (battle report on page 9 in the trollock the traitor thread) with 3 heavies. Cant say that i wanted more beasts. She has poor support for a huge BG with her small control and having self sufficient infantry felt really good. You have something similar going with your minions, but i think tharn post cid are plain better than those minions. Also, it gives you access to the blood shaman who is incredible with a heavy as it replaces primal without forcing you to frenzy.

In short... No, i dont really know how to make her work XD

Kaya1 into call of the wild is a trap. She doesn't actually do enough for her battle group to justify it and I think you'll find her fury starved in that list without a good place to park occultation.

While not the best caster for it among our options I've found she works best in Dev Host or Wild Hunt. In both of those themes you can find good targets for occultation and she helps get the most out of her limited battle group with the +2 to hit limiting the requirement to use primal.

In Dev Host she can occultate a unit of ravagers or bloodpack and then leverage female tharn to deliver an almost 100% stealthed list. Also the spirit door then doppler bark trick can enable big ranged assassinations with the bloodpack or blood trackers. Its quite difficult to hide from that. Ghetorix and a stalker help cover the armor cracking for the list.

In Wild Hunt she can occultate a unit of skinwalkers or wolves of Orboros which helps cover their biggest weakness and the doppler bark trick can really help reaves seal the deal on an assassination run. Kaya can also charge doppler bark and then spirit door out to help bring down high def infantry.

If you really like the character and want to stay in call of the wild then I would recommend Kaya2 or 3 for that purpose.

How does the assassination run work? I think I understand but it doesn't look very hard to me (don't have Kaya within 14" of your caster).

Damn conflict chamber and its listing of both of them 

16" from a beast is far different than from the caster. That's a good trick to keep in the back pocket.

Definitely not considered Kaya1 with double Blood Pack. Think that build doesn't work without a damage fixer of some kind.

You may! And maybe how to use him effectively too, because I am trash tier at that.
