My First Mohsar List 50pts for Blasted Heath

[MikeC103]

Well I have not used Mohsar list and seeing how he will be completely painted before the end of the night I figured I should give him some table time.

Mohsar +5
Woldwatcher 9
Shadowhorn Satyr 7
Warpwolf Stalker 10
Reeves of Orboros 6
War Wolf 1
Lord of the Feast 4
Bloodweavers 5
Wolf Riders 6
Gatorman posse 4-min unit and swampie guide

all comments welcome. I think it may be infantry heavy. what do you all think?

I really like the WoldWyrd with Mohsar for curse + 2 shots with POW 10+3dice and one POW10 with 4dice. Also, Gnarlhorn > Shadowhorn with Mohsar. WoldWatcher is great for Crevasse/Mirage/Curse.

I believe you have misread the Wyrds rules wrong, it only benefits from purgation (the boosted hit and damage roles) when shooting something with an ENEMY upkeep spell on it. Therefore Curse of Shadows does not benefit the Wyrd any more then it normally would with -2 Armor, which, is still quite nice.

In Addition, I think you have your names confused. The Wold Warden is the one that can mimic our warlocks spells and costs 9 points. The Watcher on the other hand is a four point beast with advance deploy that turns its kills into forests. Assuming you both meant Warden when you said Watcher I also need to say that your list is currently 3 points short of 50. If your including Swampie guide as taking 2 points off of the cost of the Gators, then your total comes to 47 points.

As far as your list construction goes, the problem is not that you have too much infantry, its that all your infantry squads are minimum size. Circle is not the most reknown for our moral, and it will not take many casualties before your stuff starts to run away. So my first advice would be to get rid of one squad and max another. Now while swampie guide is indeed great for your Gators, since most of our buffs are circle infaction only, I would say drop them and use the points to max your wolf riders (or reeves if you wish, up to you as they are the same points), who, work quite amazingly with Mohsar and Mirage, making the fastest unit in the game, even faster. That change would give you this:

Mohsar +5
Woldwarden 9
Shadowhorn 7
Warpwolf Stalker 10
Reeves of Orboros 6
War Wolf 1
Lord of the Feast 4
Bloodweavers 5
Wolf Riders 10 (9 with swampie guide)
------------------------------------------
47 points (46 with swampie)

Since you still have 4 points free I would suggest the classic Shifting Stones and Blackclad combo. The Stones are Invaluable at 2 points for not only blocking charge lanes, healing beasts, and teleporting things around, but they can help you manage your fury if you start to push your beasts too hard. The Blackclad, in addition to a magic 8 spray, has his own teleportation (which is great for mohsars SoF if you really need to get him to safety) but Hunters mark gets you the additional 2" of speed in your threat ranges and do it for free to help insure the kill.

The only other actual change to your list I would make, is dropping the Warwolf and turning the Shadowhorn to a Gnarlhorn. While the Shadowhorn certainly does have his benefits, the Gnarlhorns animus is amazing in almost any situation, especially on the Stalker, as he needs the MAT boost when trampling high Defense troops. It also brings your threat range up, again, giving you a reliable wolf bullet to use to take out the thing you need dead most.

If you do REALLY like that warwolf, and dont want to loose it, you could also turn the Stalker into a FeralWW, and still be able to upgrade the Shadowhorn to a Gnarlhorn, but all these changes are really up to you as a player. If those beasts work best for you as is, take them. But if like me your worried about a lower MAT or threat range, then those are the changes yo should make.
And really Kbonn said it, the Gnarlhorn is amazing with Mohsar, since you can set up superslams all over the place.

Hope this help.
