Amon list for a buddy...

[Bastion5]

MY friend is considering jumping into menoth with amon, this is his 35 pt. list he would like to use

Amon +6
Revenger *
Dervish x2 8
Devout 5
Guardian 9
Bastions full 8
Heirophant 2
Paladin 2
Wracks 1

any suggestions on this list is greatly appreciated :D :D :D !!!!!!!!

[bluecardinal]

You might want to mention to your friend that Amon does nothing for Bastions and would probably leave them behind in the battle. My suggestion is to go with a full unit of TFG and add a Reclaimer solo. That's 8 points and would suite your friend much better. Amon is strapped for focus and he uses a lot a round so the Reclaimer helps out.

You also have two arcnodes in the list, which is sort of a waste. I like the Guardian over the Revenger but that's just me. You could drop either one and add in some Daughters of the Flame and then some more support solos. Its up to you on what you would want to add.

Oh yeah, I can't believe it but I overlooked the fact that he has no Choir and/or Vassal. The Choir is an auto include in any list I run and you might be able to get away without a vassal.

I would have your friend proxy the list he has and then consider these changes.

Ok how does this sound...

Amon +6
Guardian 3
Devout 5
Dervish x2
Errants 5
Cleansers 5
Paladin 2
Hierophant 2
Reclaimer 2
Vassal 2
Wracks 1

any better???

[Ven]

Guardian is a powerful warjack but Amon won't take any adventage from him. He fits to casters with potencial in offensive magic. Amon has only one spell which is useful only in his feat's turn.

I would recommend you any other heavy warjack: Reckoner, Castingator for instance.
As was said before, choir is autoinclude in any menoth list with 3 or more warjacks.


In point of view:
Amon +6
Reckoner 2
Devout 5
Crusader 6
2x Dervish 8
max choir 3
Vassal 2
full TFG 6
Reclaimer 2
Wracks 1

[psycnarf]

my list would include

Amon
Vanquisher 8
Crusader 6
Dervish 4
Dervish 4
Min KEE 5
Max Choir 3
Max Vengers 11

[Soylent]

Amon
-Crusader
-Vanquisher
-Devout
-Dervish
Zealots(full)
-Mono bearer
Choir(full)
Vassal
Vassal
Reclaimer
Wracks

This list has been doing me well.

Whoah, whoah, whaoh! Does a Menoth army really need a full choir every time? I've got a friend whos been playing the Protectoate for 2 years, doesn't field a choir, and in 8/10 times beats his opponent(the 2 times he doesn't is against a cygnar player known for his cheating and lying). Also, I just use amon in a 25 point game, and smoked the epic butcher. My list was:
Amon +6
Crusader*
Revenger x2
Devout
Cleansers(min.)
Paladin
Khadors force consisted of:
eButcher+6
Juggernaut
Kovnik
Destroyer
Widowmakers
Yuri
Baloch
Gorman

This was a mk.2 match and all it took was a well placed synergy chain and the butcher was dead.

[amon_4_the_win]

Any way, moving on...what about this list:

amon+6
castigator 2
devout 5
dervish x2 8
errants (min.) 5
cleansers (min) 5
hierophant 2
paladin 2
reclaimer 2
seneschal 3
wracks 1

How about this? This is the list I'm looking at getting at as soon as i finish my Khador army.

I like this list, but I would include the Choir :D. At least a min unit. Vassals are also very good, but I like Seneschals and Paladins myself.

Edit: Or you could do the manly Amon, 9x Dervish, Choir list.

[Ganmeyde]

3 Points to give all of Amon's jacks another +2/+2 is a bargain, never mind using noshooty or nospells while you get into close range.

Choir is a must with this many jacks.

[der13manner]

Amon
-Crusader
-Vanquisher
-Devout
-Dervish
Zealots(full)
-Mono bearer
Choir(full)
Vassal
Vassal
Reclaimer
Wracks

This list is fantastic, thank you very much for posting it, I hadn't thought of using my Zealots with Amon, I kept trying to use Errants/TFG or nothing at all.

[AmonadRodrigues]

Inf. with Amon:
Amon likes Infantry, that is self-sufficient. Imho the units with UAs work best here. TFG, Zealots or Idrians (so Idrians with UA are very expensive, which makes them a good alternative only at 50 points or higher). Any of this units (and TFG in first place) would have a great support in Rhuppert if you can spare the points.
If you want to have ranged support i'd think about Deliverers and/or Sunburst. Deliverers are good against low arm Inf and their good range means they can stay far behind and cover Amons advance.

Support troops with Amon:
I'm not sure about the Vassals. They are always worth the points, but with Amon they not an autoinclude, cause he wants to advance very fast. Thats why I take 2 min choirs with him. If your Jacks want to run, you can let one choir sing before the Jacks movement and one run behind your Jackwall to do the Job on the follwing turn.
Hierophant also has a hard time to follow Amon, but the cheaper spell is handy.
Reclaimer is one of the best choices for him, as long as you field enough warrior models to feed him.
The covenant is not useless - but if a caster may resign one its Amon. Groundwork make K.D. not such a big threat to him.
Wracks help him more than any other PoM-caster. I'd always field them.

In conclusion I'd say the choir is the only auto-include (at least one max, I prefer two min) and Wracks are close to.

[chrisBatson]

High Allegiant Amon Ad-Raza, 5x Dervish, 2x Holy Zealots (max), 2x Reclaimer 1x Choir of Menoth, 1x Eiryss, Angle of Retribution

Keep the jacks tight and screen with zealots. Keep the reclaimers just out of blast range from the jacks. One choir convers everything in that formation. Opponents need to wade through the zealots and create pockets for their jacks to trample though to get to yours which is incredibly inefficeint for them. Especially since with a recalimer + choir your light can drop a heavy at twice its cost like nothing. Plus no magic on the zealots + no magic on the jacks make a lot of people have a tough time to deal making that hole.

Depending on the opponent, you can drop eiryss for the covenant + wracks or whatever support you need.

[MoDination]

I am personally a fan of:
Amon
Dervish x3
Devout x2
Reckoner x2
Choir (full)

[DudeOfOrboros]

This will be my first outing with Amon 35 pt.

Amon
Dervish
Revenger
Devout
Reckoner
6X Choir
3X Wracks
10X Zealots
Monolith Bearer
Reclaimer

Thinking of Vassal and Heirophant, but am pretty sure will be going with a couple of Weaponmasters:
2X Paladin of the Order of the Wall
