Well here is an alternate Calandra list I've been working on:
Calandra
Bouncer
Blitzer
Impaler
Impaler
Krielstone bearer and Scribes (3)
Pyg Bushwackers (10)
Kriel Warriors (6)
Doing this model by model:
Calandra herself carries alot of the list by her Re-Roll abilities and spell list. So here are some highlights: Bullet Dodger on the Blitzer will give it some extra Threat (it's still a Dire Troll for Melee purposes!) or get those sure to hit Kriel Warriors at the enemy's throat in time. Befuddle makes for a nice spell to clear up Charge Lanes or better yet, LOS. Also notice that in cases it might even function to reel stuff into range of the "big guns".
Star Crossed is the other key spell that this list will be very thankfull for, with some very respectable critical effects mixing and matching die is a nice addition Soothing Song is a given, seeing that both Impalers will be running hot using their Animi. Force Blow is rather obvious...Ranged heavy list...knockdown...Bonnie and Clyde...you get the point, it's meant to be.
The Impalers, Far Strike is the major asset these boys bring to the table aside from respectable P+S attacks now with improved hit chances due to Calandra. Their Critical combined with Star Crossed can come in quite handy for putting off enemy assualts that aren't quite wanted at that point. Their :Reach: is a great extra when getting stuck in (which they can also handle well!).
The Bouncer is Calandra's premier bodyguard, shutting down any ranged attacks against her while with its :Reach: being able to pose a good threat to anything that tries and pass him to get to Calandra herself. With Bump up on Calandra herself at the right time one would have to make it count or try and pass the big guy again on a second run.
The Blitzer, now this big guy is resilent, good (enough) in melee while still getting with the Ranged Attack programme, using Bullet Dodger on him will force enemy's to either take him down in melee or get some rather good Ranged attacks against him. His reduced Fury and MAT aren't quite as much of a drawback with Calandra's abilites and spells I believe.
Pyg Bushwackers, couldn't bear doing without them in this list, their Bushwack order and all-terrain abilites make for perfect harrasement unit to lure enemies into range while with their :Combined-Ranged: still being able to damage some most Light's on both the WM and Hordes sides.
Krielstone Bearer and Stone Scribes, well with Calandra's 7 Fury and the fact that beasts will be running hot alot the Fury Bank is a nice way to turtle on the ranged elements.
Kriel Warriors make for a solid block of infantry which can profit greatly from both Bullet Catcher and their own Swift Foot ability while advancing with some luck even being in range of the Krielstone for some extra ARM.
So there we have it, a shot (pun intended) at a ranged list for Calandra. Comments? Feel free!
