    I feel that Abby don't really work at 25 pts, 42 pts is her kingdom then she can bring everything she needs as buff targets go.

    The first Saeryn list is really good, the only thing i would think about would be to drop the reak for a second DS and a Harrier or drop the DS for a Harrier. It might just be me, but fielding one death stalker is not good they are better in pairs or none at all.

    pThag is one of the great casters at 25 pts, but I would never field him without a carnivean. My ideal list at 25 pts with pThag is 2 scytheans one carni and a Shepard.

    eLylyth does not need spell martyrs she have 15" range on spells. So my suggestion would be to take another DS and a Shepard instead of them.

    I think it's some weird crap they do in Germany, IIRC.

    What do the rest of you think about the lists in question? Anything productive to come with?

    I would not bring abby to 25 pts. She needs more pts, for her to have all the stuff she wants with her buffs, that is at least what I think. 42 might be wierd, it is not standard. I just have a 42 pts list for her, when i tried her on 50 she just did not have enough buffs for everyone and it felt like eThagrosh could run the same army better.

    I bring Abby at 25pts all the time (mostly because I only recently bought the two models I needed to get it to a 35, but even so). I think she works pretty damn well. Furthermore, Abby can build a t4 at 19 points (although it's rubbish because it involves two Seraphim as the heavies). Here's how I'd do a 25 with Abby;

    System: Hordes
    Faction: Absylonia - Winds of Change
    Casters: 1/1
    Points: 25/25
    Tiers: 4
    Absylonia, Terror of Everblight (+5pts)
    * Raek (4pts)
    * Shredder (2pts)
    * Shredder (2pts)
    * Stinger (2pts)
    * Angelius (8pts)
    * Scythean (8pts)
    The Forsaken (2pts)
    The Forsaken (2pts)

    This is a T4 and you get all the benefits. Playing God goes on the Raek, Carnivore on the Scythean, and Forced Ev on the Angelius. It's not as good as a 35pt list but it works pretty well.

    Forward Kommander includes a 42-point option as "Germany 42 (1 caster, 42 points)". Doesn't make much sense to me either, but it IS the Ultimate Answer, so it can't be bad.

    before you ever touch saeryn or lylyth2 give thagrosh1 and absylonia a try. dont let any one fool you. absylonia T4 is fantastic at 25 and 35 pts. so is thagrosh1. he can play any point bracket but his feat at 35 and lower is very powerful. i dont htink any of your list are bad but none seem to be what i personally would play. id suggest looking around at some of the other list on the forums. i suggest gearing your list to maximize your feat with those two warlocks becuase thats how they shine in low points.
    for abby id suggest something like this
    abby Tier 4
    angelius
    carnivean
    x 2 shredders
    harrier
    stinger

    x2 forsaken

    for thagrosh1 id suggest
    Carnivean
    Ravagor
    legionnaries max
    spawning vessel

    both lists are simple and desgned to be played agressivly to take advangae of your feat

    42 is a point value used in a German WM/H tournament named "coin of evil", which runs a shameless pun on the number 666. 6 rounds, 6 casters, three 36 (6x6) and three 42 (6x6+6) games. Somehow the 42 point games ended up being copied by other tournament organizers and made it into the fowardkommander. Don't ask me why, my guess would be that 42 points allow you more stuff than 35 but are less daunting if you run a tight time schedule compared to the 50pt used in the US.
