Hello! I recently started playing Warmachine and have been playing some proxy games to test out a few different lists to decide which models to invest in. According to my local Press Ganger, I focused too heavily on infantry, fielding very few jacks. In an effort to remedy this, I've come up with a list for eKreoss, on which I'm looking for some feedback.
35 Points
eKreoss -6
Devout -1
Vanquisher 7
Fire of Salvation 16
Choir of Menoth (Leader w/3) 18
Exemplar Errants (Leader w/5) 23
Exemplar Errant UA 25
Knights Exemplar 30
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord 32
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios 35
My reasoning is:
'Jacks:
Devout - Gives Kreoss an extra layer of protection, especially useful since he will be near the front lines frequently.
Vanquisher - Decent against a hard target, and really good for clearing our swaths of infantry with its flame thrower and Thresher attack.
Fire of Salvation - Seems like a really good 'jack between its mobility (from Righteous Vengeance), its damage output (between its Imprint and the 18 P+S sword), and what appears to be fairly good survivability.
Infantry:
Exemplar Errants - These seem really versatile and useful, especially with their UA. They would give me a ranged option that can fire and then effectively engage in melee.
Knights Exemplar - Strong melee unit that everyone at my FLGS seems to be afraid of. Mobility is a problem though, hence Rhupert.
Support and Solos
Choir of Menoth - Everything I've seen has made the Choir seem like an auto-include with multiple 'jacks.
Exemplar Errant UA - Mentioned above. Seems like it makes them much better.
Rhupert Carvolo - Can give me Tough Exemplar, harder to hit and scary Exemplar, or Exemplar that don't get bogged down by rough terrain. He seems like he's definitely worth his 2 points.
Eiryss - I'm not 100% sure that if I should include her, fill out my squad of Errants, or get something else. She has a lot of nice abilities that could seriously inconvenience my enemy.
Thoughts and criticism?
