Hi all! It's been a while After trying Wrongeye and Snapjaw in dev host (mixed success, didn't blow me away), my new line of experimentation may be with Krueger2 in DevHost. There is plenty out there for K2Bones, but does anyone have any experience with devourers host? Is this silly? conflictchamber.com/?c8201b_-0j4amDmDfrfrmVmVhm5454mUmU4_mQmj5wmj5wCircle Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Devourer's Host [Krueger 2] Krueger the Stormlord [+27] - Feral Warpwolf [16] - Feral Warpwolf [16] Bloodweaver Night Witch [4] Bloodweaver Night Witch [4] Gallows Grove [2] Gallows Grove [2] Gremlin Swarm [3] Tharn Ravager Shaman [4] Tharn Ravager Shaman [4] Tharn Wolf Rider Champion [0(7)] Tharn Wolf Rider Champion [0(7)] Tharn Bloodweavers [8] - Tharn Bloodweaver Haruspex [4] Tharn Ravagers (max) [15] - Tharn Ravager Chieftain [0(5)] Tharn Ravagers (max) [15] - Tharn Ravager Chieftain [5]

Not silly at all with TK those wolf riders can live the dream and charge into back arcs quite easily. However I'd try get lotf and the blood shaman in the list for an assassination out and more/cheaper spells.
Also double feral as a battlegroup is interesting. I'd be tempted to go gheto and a feral or maybe stalker and a feral just for variety. The bloodweavers I'd say with be pretty good if the feat can push people into their path so they get more than usual.
So I've fallen down a rabbit hole and would say this might be the list I'd run although Krueger with a storm raptor might also be a thing...but ignoring the raptor here's what my take on it would be:
Circle Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Devourer's Host
[Krueger 2] Krueger the Stormlord [+27] - Feral Warpwolf [16] - Warpwolf Stalker [17] - Tharn Blood Shaman [4] Gallows Grove [2] Gallows Grove [2] Lord of the Feast [0(6)] Tharn Ravager Shaman [4] Tharn Wolf Rider Champion [0(7)] Tharn Wolf Rider Champion [0(7)] Boil Master & Spirit Cauldron [5] Tharn Bloodweavers [8] - Tharn Bloodweaver Haruspex [4] Tharn Ravagers (max) [15] - Tharn Ravager Chieftain [5] Tharn Ravagers (max) [15] - Tharn Ravager Chieftain [5]

He doesn't directly buff his troops and without Wolds to have plenty of Tks available I think you really need a White Mane for Veteran leader, the corpses won't probably be enough.
Also, LotF + Tk cannot be understated.

Feast woukd be great, but then you really want a pot and that makes it hard to max out on solos etc. The well is super nifty, that is why i played the list to begin with. (My well is getting some paint on it. Damn those vines were annoying to paint...)

Is the well worth it?

In DH it makes list construction harder for sure, but as i can use the free solo, and extended control range its sort of hard for the well not to be worth it. You can easily count it as a 6 point model here as you will always want a ravager shaman/night witch/wayfarer (ravagers threatening 13 before vengeance and TK can be incredibly clutch), and you would gladly pay 2 points for +2" control for krueger, right? Then it only has to do 4 points of work. Add that it allows me to skimp on the spirit cauldron and id say its a good deal. I think it is well worth it with a couple of casters, but by no means auto include. A perfectly balanced model imo. Baldur 1, krueger 2 and kromac 1 adore it. Grayle, kaya 3, bradigus, morvahna 2 etc can easily make lists with it. That being said, my game was against Barnabus 1 in WWFF, and the well shot the dracodile once and did nothing else before i won so... Results may vary. 16" wind storm and feat is super neat though.

I see your point but you're not taking LotF because of it... Perhaps you should, it would scare troops away from the well and it's still a good solo.

Here i went with the Champions, cause they seemed awesome with TK (but that didnt come up...). I chose the white mane cause i have double Blood Pack who really likes RAT 7, but one can easily tweak things to have LotF instead. I could actually drop to one min unit of Blood pack, keep the white mane and have LotF instead. one LotF should be better than two blood pack, right?

Great feedback everybody! I'll have a think and try to include LOTF.
Twin ferals is for armour cracking, but i certainly could do with just one. If i remove the gremlin swarm, i can have ghetorix or loki.
Would love a well but i haven't gone and purchased it yet. Might proxy it and see!!

Id like to mention annunsung herobin my list. The shadowhorn. He doesnt kill things, sure but that is not his job. He throws things, some times as a caster, some times the caster itself. TK is a very potent buff for him as all he needs is threat range. Not only can you TK the shadowhorn to go further, but you can also TK sonething closer to him, or free up a lane for throws.
Two units of blood pack make short work or most knocked down casters 😃

Huh. Been playing a lot of Kromac2 with double Shadowhorns and really impressed by their utility. Lately been working on a Bones list for Krueger2 and impressed by all his various range extension. Maybe I should just drop Krueger into my Kromac list and take it for a spin...
