As title. I'm just curious if anyone has any good, off the wall ideas for lists they've played. I'm getting tired of running the same thing over and over again and curious to see if anyone else has something interesting that might work.

Jarl in SotN. Quickened champs with fell caller support drove a more experienced player out of cygnar in three games. I think we had a central forest in at least two of them which makes it much worse. Grissel1 with bears gets pretty silly. With Hoof It and cold Stone they can run two feet and have parry for the last 8".

annoddman: I really like your approach to Maddrak1. Mazog: I don't think Jarl on SotN is janky: best way to play him. But you are true that list have potential.
But list I have enjoyed recently: - Jarl on SotN - Ragnor with MK+SK+Mulg - Grim2 with HHH and northkin raiders

Probably Calandra in KC. I played it against Zadesh 2 with a titan brick and that is AWFUL. Managed to pull off the befuddle on agonizer so walk it near Zadesh. WW knocked it and zadesh down, and then i managed to kill him with my remaining shots in the list.
It is NOT a good list, but the assassination is fun and sort of dangerous ๐

I'm having a lot of fun playing by Borka2 "Bere Bare Bears" list. Bearka in SOTN, 2x units of battle bears, Cragback & Lug then Fireeaters/kriels warrior to taste. Surprisingly fun to play and can be oddly effective if you screen well with Kriel Warriors.
Cragback & Lug are quite a lot of points which they never really make back. But its fun and looks cool.

Throw the Hooch Hauler in there for Beer Bere Bare Bears!

Played this during a month long steam roller. Runs over infantry, but canโt kill a heavy. I used 2h throws a lot to help score zones. Some notable achievements were killing 30 immortals in one turn thanks to cursed fate.

Cuberic, I've never had trouble killing armor with bears and the cild stone. Hell, I've one rounded battle engines that way. Ok, fine, they were legion battle engines, but I did not need both units of bears to do it.

One of the strengths of Iona/Tharn/theme is her 2x very good upkeeps. So I built this jank to attempt to combat that. [Theme] Storm of the North [Doomshaper 1] Hoarluk Doomshaper, Shaman of the Gnarls [+29] - Mulg the Ancient [22] - Rรถk [19] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Swamp Gobber Chef [1] Valka Curseborn, Chieftain of the North [0(6)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Raiders (min) [9] Northkin Raiders (min) [9] Pyg Lookouts (max) [10] Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew [2] Dissolution to remove upkeeps and damage, Rampager against Ghetorix or F.Slayer, Fortune/Goad/Primal for Berserk-Rok. Min units of Raiders at right/left edges to encourage enemy models to come into Ambush range. Pygs come in after/behind Ambushing Bloodweavers if any. First time I played against a very good player, mis-positioned Mulg too far away from Rok, could not Vortex Hunter's Mark = sadness and eventual loss of game. Second time I played against a decent Grymkin player, Rok and Mulg charge/Goaded in for the win. Very janky though, and I'll keep messin' with it!

I have another candidate! Madrak 2 in PoD. He is a seriously good beast caster in many ways BUT he wants some infantry too. I had a maxed unit of stone scribes with 3 sorcerers to use Blood Fury.
Had the fell caller been allowed in POD it might be legit ๐

I would think runeshapers might be interesting for that build. Higher mat and they can cast a spell when they run out of dudes to punch if they are close enough to Janissa. They are pricy, though.
