Getting Into Circle (with the 2-Player Battlebox)

[Discoduck]

Hello all. Avid Skorne player here. I've been wanting to play Circle and learn their bag of subtle tricks for a long time now, and I am splitting a 2-player battle box with a friend when it comes out. I will be stuck with its contents for a while (not that I am complaining, as werewolves are a guilty pleasure of mine), and thought I'd post a possible 35pt list and maybe get suggestions from you fine folk.

I have ordered a Pureblood (old model ftw), and have yet to buy the remaining components. Funds are limited at the moment, so I'll have to choose carefully.


For those unfamiliar, here is the battle box lineup:

Kaya the Wildborne
- Argus
- Winter Argus
- Feral Warpwolf
Warpborn Skinwalkers (full)


Fore filling out the list:

Kaya the Wildborne
- Argus
- Winter Argus
- Feral Warpwolf
- Pureblood Warpwolf
Warpborn Skinwalkers (full)
Shifting Stones
- Stone Keeper
Blackclad Wayfarer

Had to make sure I got the old Pureblood model before it went away, so he's my last huge purchase for a bit (the Stalker is next on my list). It seems to me the Stone Keeper is not to be considered a crutch/ auto-include (this faction is refreshingly free of much of that business it seems), but I don't plan on buying a War Wolf any time soon.

I also want to work up to eKaya eventually. eKreuger is next, but as he seems to like different models, I will be waiting on that lineup.

PS I should say I play casually and in casual tournaments far more often than competitive tournaments.

with Kaya the shifting stones arent necessarily needed here. you dont really need the place effects of them to get into position like wolds do, and with soothing song the serenity isn't needed as much either. so you could drop them, giving you 3 points to play with which can give you can either add in a wilder (covers more out of activation healing and also to throw around circular visions, and so kaya doesn't need to get as close) and a one point filler (swamp gobbers are nice), or since your dropping stones, drop the black clad with them to open 5 points for a Lord of the Feast (more infantry removal) and again a 1 point filler (gallows grove is ok here aswell)
