Caleb's "I make too many lists" thread

[metagamed]

So I have decided that, in the interests of not clogging the boards with my inane ideas, I will post all of the list I want to share in this thread. Critique or not, at your discretion.

To start off with, here is a list that I really, really like the look/theory of. It's a Skorne list, 25 points. Probably one of the two I'll bring to the Thursday tournament.

Tyrant Xerxis +5
Cyclops Shaman 5
Basilisk Krea 4
Extoller Soulward 2
Cataphract Cetrati (max) 11
Nihilators (max) 8

I think this list has a good shot against most things. Defender's Ward goes on the Cetrati, and Fury on the Nihilators.

For some reason, I really like this warbeast setup. It's basically pure support beasts. The Krea does her awesome stuff, and the Shaman deals with debuff armies and is a second Krea. The beasts will stay behind the infantry wall at all times.

The Soulward will deal with stealth and Menoth by giving eyeless sight and magical weapon.

The infantry is the main threat in this list. Lots and lots of dice during feat turn. Plus there's very little shooting that can kill DEF16/ARM24 with 8 boxes each. The Cetrati are primarily anti-armor and the Nihilators are sort of anti-swarm.

Actually, that brings me to my prime concern in this list - high DEF swarms like the Winter Guard Infantry Death Star. The list has no effective way of dealing with them, and that's a problem. Any suggestions to fix that would be appreciated.

Hey, I'm back with yet another silly list. This one is a 35 point Khador list, featuring Koldun Kommander Zerkova's Wolves of Winter tier list at tier 3.

Koldun Kommander Zerkova +6
Berserker 6
Koldun Lord 2
Juggernaut 7
Koldun Lord 2
Juggernaut 7
Koldun Lord 2
Doom Reavers 6
Greylord Escort 2
Doom Reavers 6
Greylord Escort -

Ok, tactics time. Except for Zerkova and her Berserker, the entire army is advance deploy (t3 WoW gives Koldun Lords and their Marshalled 'Jacks AD). That gives you a large tactical advantage, as your opponent will have to set up most/all of your army before you set up most of yours.

The main concern that I have at the moment is that the Koldun lords are too vulnerable.

Just a shout out that zerkova is very hard to use

I'm aware. I probably should have stated this in the first post, but probably 90% of these lists will never get built. This is one of them. They're more to increase my understanding of the game then anything else.

Honestly that Xerxis list looks really solid. It's got the standard brick with cetrati, the nihilators are amazing under Fury, and the shaman/extoller ghost shot of doom is a fun thing to do when your opponent isnt prepared for it.

Also if you manage to get the alpha strike, popping feat and charging in with nihilators WILL kill whatever they hit.
