OTC 2020, who's going, and what are you playing?

auraco , I really like both of your lists, and thank you for sharing.

Regarding WotoF, I probably can only offer sideways adjustments or questions to consider, but not objectively “your list would be better with this tech” statements.

For your third free model, have you tried double vassals over Yuri? I like them for the additional solos and free focus for the Judy, but the random magic attacks are also nice.

I understand why people are bringing Initiates, but do wonder how much they’re actually doing the job you brought them to do. The Hermit and Vilmont offer Vlad a lot of protection already, and the initiates aren’t exactly keeping up with your cav. If you dumped them and one Mechanic you could fit in another cavalry solo, or a light jack to scurry off and score a second square zone. In a team tournament you might be looking to a teammate to take on dedicated gunlines anyway.

Regarding the Vlad 2 list, it looks tight. Honestly if you dropped the Void Archon I’d personally prefer Alexia over Fenris, but I wouldn’t change a damn thing.

I like your lists, I haven't actually tried a Vlad1 gunline in armored corps, but it sounds like it could be good, I also like the double legion of lost souls Flame list, lots of bodies and recursion on the table and with Alexia3 and Throne in the list hitting power isn't an issue.

@armchair Warrior
I haven't tried with double vassal over yuri, I did try a version of the list with a vassal instead of the two mechanics and the wrack, it was fine, but so far I really haven't had any problem fuelling the judicator when needed with Vlad, he's not that focus starved, especially with the wrack. I could try it with the vassals, so far yuri hasn't been all that impressive, he's mostly there to be the Female Dog that dies to trigger a vengeance on the archons, a running vassal could do the same job. Think I'll try that to this weekend event where we practice our OTC lists.
As for the initiates, they are really great, and they really don't have an issue keeping up with the rest of the list, spd 6/7 with dash means that if they do a full run they will still be able to shield guard shots meant for vengers who did their max run. The only thing that can outpace them is the flame bringers if they do a full run, but that's not really necessary because even with less than a full run they can cover all the releveant scenario zone. Even against list with only moderate amount of shooting they are worth the 7 points you pay for them, it turns the list into a fairly good gunline drop, so even if it's a team event it means I can go into some match ups that other might not want to play. Having one more cavalry solo would help against melee army, but Vlad2 Wolves is already one of the best list in the game to play against dedicated melee armies, so having a second list that can actually play into guns is good for me.

@soul Samurai How dare you call Yuri anything other than a true patriot?!?
Sad thing about Wotof is that the menite models more often than not are simply better than the khadoran option. A point can be made for the outriders who are pretty much as good as the flame brigners, but I don't want to run into the trouble of having them in both of my list if I run into something that counters them.

Apparently I am going as a fill in player/team.

If I get paired up with you, I am sorry...

Wait, what? Why? I'm confused...

Look at it this way: We seized the models of other factions for redistribution for the glory of the motherland!

What is a better pairing with WoToF? JAWS (Karchev) or AC (Sorcha3)
