Pts. 50/50

Going for the best possible list for tournaments. My only concerns with the list is that it doesnt make the best use of the feat. Since only banes will be useable during the feat and they really are not going to be hitting many warcasters to end the game. Was thinking of swapping the Siren for a Satyx Captain to make use of the mat 8 during feat.

The best part about the list is that I own most of the models and would only need to purchase Canker and the Cav models.

Opinions would be appreciated, Is this a killer list or are changes necissary?

[Kuwanger23]

You are going to want at least one arc node for bile thrall delivery assurance. And you don't have any bane knights in that list? Not really taking advantage of click and point reach weapon masters on feat turn.

[Terminus1114]

Yea I forgot about the arcnode. Could Bane Knights be considered an auto include with him?

[WindlordRyu]

I would say yes, especially if you want to assassinate with his feat. Reach makes it a lot easier to fit in more models. And Tartarus can charge and Curse so Banes are already effective MAT 8. I would remove the Soul Hunters and Darragh to include them. You can't bring them back with his feat anyway.

[Terminus1114]

Hmmm would Bloodgorgers and Gerlack be a good sub for the BKs? They have a good threat range and if I can get 2-3 around a warcaster they are effective mat 8. I am concerned about trying for the assassination with infantry because of the high def of most casters.

[Scottl1]

Theyd have mat 7 with gang and gerlack has mat 8 on his own and boosted rolls vs damaged stuff.. Only problem is they only are spd vs non living. Which isn't horrid unless you plan to use this list vs Cryx. Gerlack is the only one with reach. So maybe a combo of knights/blt and the gorgers/gerlack?

[PG_Hobo]

Bloodgorgers don't get gang when brought back with the feat as they are no longer part of a unit.

[Gamingdevil]

Bloodgorgers don't get gang when brought back with the feat as they are no longer part of a unit.

This, so they'd be MAT6. I really feel Bane Knights are auto-include with him. They have the threat range, you already have Dark Shroud from Tartarus and with Reach, you can fit in more models.

The Skarlock is useless, in my opinion. eGaspy is one of the only casters I would never take one with. The only spells he can cast are Excarnate and Parasite, which are both offensive and he can't boost, unless he gets souls (yeah, right)

If you drop the Soulhunters and Skarlock, then take the Bane Thralls to minimum, you can fit in a max unit of Knights.

If you want a node in, I suggest dropping Deathjack. He's nice, but he's a lot of points and doesn't do as much for Gaspy as he does for other casters. If you're going for a tournament list, I'm assuming Steamroller with character restrictions and Deathjack would be better with someone else, I think.

If you do drop DJ, that's a 4 point node, the Thralls back to full, Gerlak and a Raider Captain. Which are both excellent feat targets.

You'd still have 1 point left (left-over from the Bane Knight swap), which could go to making the node a Ripjaw or adding a Necrotech or Machine Wraith.

50/50

This is what it has evolved to. Any thoughts?

[Sanctjud]

IMO drop Canker for WSC.

[Drakor]

I have run the exact same list before and it runs very solidly.

[Gamingdevil]

I really don't see what use the Skarlock is. You could get Parasite on a heavy jack, maybe, then die the next turn. You'd have to be lucky to see heavy infantry on the field that you can actually hit with Excarnate. Of course, with heavy infantry, there's a high chance you don't get to kill it. A Skarlock that can only cast offensive spells is not really worth it in my opinion, it's too hard to boost.

I also agree with Sanctjud, needs more WSC. I suggest to drop the Skarlock and drop the Bane Thralls down to minimum as they are mainly a tarpit, while Knights are your main feat target. That is if you want to keep Cankerworm, which I don't think you need if you're set on keeping the Deathjack. I'd still drop the Skarlock, for either Gorman or a Siren, maybe a Raider Captain as feat target.

[Terminus1114]

Thanks for all the replies I think I pretty much have things figured out. Yes I am pretty set on keeping Deathjack and I can't see to much of an arguement against that Dropping Skarlock for sure cause in the very few games I have played he might have gotten off one maybe two spells before dieing. Cankerworm for WSC...I can see that also. WSC probably has higher dmg output, just a little less survivable and the free upkeep and puppet strings.

This is were most will probably disagree but I am pretty set on going with Blooggorgers and Slaughterborn over Bane Knights. Bloodgorgers will work better for both the warcasters I like to run.

Which would mean you're still taking Bane Thralls?

Last time I played eGaspy seriously at 50, I did take Gerlak and the gang over a unit of Bane Thralls, but Bane Knights over Thralls is a given in my opinion. You're going to need the MAT8 Banes with BLT bring you either way, but the Knights give you reach, which means 1.5" longer threat range and opportunity to get more models in combat (can put them in 2 lines)

Sure Thralls work, but you're missing out on a lot, in my opinion.

[veragor1206]

I've been on the recieving end of this list and it wasn't pretty...

EGaspy
Cankerworm
Deathjack
Deathripper

Tartarus
Withershadow Combine
Banethralls (max)
BTUA
Baneknights (max)
Biles(min)

[The Junkie]

I don't see what your Cankerworm is for, but to each their own. I think most people run eGaspy in similar list.

Mine is:
Lich Lord Asphyxious
Deathjack 12 (excarnate possibility)
Ripjaw 5 (excarnate possibility)
Bane Thralls (max w/ UA) 11 (use 1 model during the feat and the rest just tarpit on an objective)
Bane Knights (max) 10 (I lead with them. I expect to bring back most of them during the feat. If they kill anyone before that I consider it gravy)
Bane Lord Tartarus 4 (keep him safe until the end)
Bile Thralls (min) 5 (excarnate + bile is just too good to pass up)
General Gerlak Slaughterborn 3 (a great model to clear up charge lanes)
x2 Pistol Wraiths (used to lock down heavies when Gaspy is advancing forward for feat turn.)

[Gopz]

Just out of interest, what would Cankerworms main role be in a list such as this?
