35 Point Scaverous List

[Themainmenoth]

I was talking about this in another Thread but I felt It should be it's own thread.

Lord Exhumator Scaverous -5
Deathjack +12
Erebus +8
Cephalyx Overlords +4
The Withershadow Combine +5
Darragh Wrathe +4
Pistol Wraith +3
Warwitch Siren +2
Skarlock Thrall +2

It also has Free guys, for this is his Tier 2.

should work but you are really building a list around his feat and i dont personally think his feat is all that awesome.

I would drop one of the WWS for a skarlock. out of activation ghost walk/TK is pretty special.

[Themainmenoth]

Oh right! forgot that guy becomes a little arcnode, Duelly noted, Change Made

Would also "consider" dropping Erebus for 1-2 arc nodes.

DJ should be enough heavy hitting @ 35pts, and he is getting Death Ward put on him.


Just not sure how your dealing with infantry ? (and don't say Erebus, he can't get through much infantry)

[ZombieWar]

thats actually a pretty good call. maybe drop erebus for 6 bile thralls and a second pistol wraith.

There is no main line...not even cheap McThralls...if that isn't your play style, then the lack of Arc Nodes is more concerning.
Pistol Wraiths really come in pairs, but I would second the suggestion of dropping Erebus for 2 Arc nodes, you already have the Deathjack as a heavy hitter, and you need the threat of spell assassination more than a glorified Slayer.

This is why I don't like running Scaverous below 50 points. There's too much stuff you want to run with him, and too much stuff he needs.

He shines in 50 point games, but 35 points leaves him starved for either support models or a frontline unit.

[Themainmenoth]

Ok, I took in what you guys had to say and this is try #2, This is what I was thinking
Lord Exhumator Scaverous -5
Deathripper +4
Deathjack +12
Skarlock Thrall +2
Mechanithralls (Max) +5
Revenant Cannon Crew x2 +6
The Withershadow Combine +5
Pistol Wraith x2 +6

Death jack as can opener, Mechanithralls as tarpit/screen, Cannon Crew as some infantry board wipe, Combine because, well of course! as you guys suggested 2 Pistols. some support through an arcnode and the Skarlock. this look better guys?

I'd take out the cannons for a Necrosurgeon and a unit of Overlords.

I know the Cannons aren't a favorite to most, in fact Light artillery for almost every army seems to be looked down upon, but both I and the guy I'm making this for Love the little bastards and will likely not take them out, I know it's not the best unit, I know it's flaws, but they're too funny to give up, Shoot threw buildings ftw.

[Rhin0]

IF you like them, then take them.
And with TK on the enemy, and dropping a Feast of Worms on a target, 2 may be able to bring the hurt on something...

Although, had a 35pt tournament Sunday, i was using a min unit of Witchs with the Hag, they were awesome..!
Was my first time running them, combined that with Bane knights, and i had a solid Centre. Something I'd have to recommend.

Your heavy hitters are ARM 18, and your secondary infantry unit goes incorp on the inmportant turn :P

You can use them if you like, but you should really get a Necrosurgeon to go with the McThralls. If you want to keep the cannons, maybe you could downgrade DJ to Malice. You lose the extra TK a turn, but Malice has a huge threat range with TK and can feed jacks to the WSC to make Seethers of.

DJ is also there for his fake arcnodeiness, not just his can opener, but I think I could remove the skarlock trall if you think the Surgeon is a better use.
