35pts eLylylth

[Lord GreyWolf]

since I now have 100+pts of Cygnar, & 50+pts of Mercs, its time to get my first Hordes list together

here is what I am looking at any advice, hints,or tips?

eLylyth,
Angelius
Nephillim bolt thrower x2
Annyssa Ryvall, Talon of Everblight
Raptors [3]
Shepard
Striders [6]
The Forsaken

my options are to drop the striders, Angelius and take Ravagore, increase the Raptors etc.... what does everyone else think?

What are my best bets? This list will mostly be facing Cryx, Cygnar, Mercs and eventually Trollblood.

[EDIT] here is another option:

eLylyth,
Angelius
Nephillim bolt thrower
Seraph
Annyssa Ryvall, Talon of Everblight
Raptors [5]
Shepard
The Forsaken

Cheers

Hi LGW,
Both seem solid enough but imo id swap the Angelius in list 1 for a Ravagore and drop the Forsaken too.
I feel the striders work very well with the UA and a death stalker.

Here is my current list:
Lylyth, Shadow of Everblight +5 points
* Nephilim Bolt Thrower 6 points
* 2x Ravagore 10 points each
Strider Deathstalker 2 points
Striders 6 points
* Strider Officer & Musician
Striders 6 points

I accept it has issues with Close combat but should get the kill before that happens.

i do really like the Angelius but after consolting a mate will have a look at this list. As for the Striders it was them or the Raptors and the Raptors won.

here is my next options:

eLylyth
Bolt thrower
Ravagore x2
Annyssa
Raptors [3]
Shepard
The forsaken

this leaves me with 1pt spare. to modify this list I'd consider the following:

1] Drop the Shepard off and get a Deathstalker

2] Drop the Shepard and the Forsaken off and increase the Raptors to 5

3] Drop the Shepard/Forsaken off and get 2 Deathstalkers.

4] Drop the Forsaken off and get a 2nd shepard, and a Deathstalker <------ I am liking this option....

I'm a big fan of Death Stalker, the scare the daylights out of so many opponents.

Also think the ravagores are amazing.

[Karchev_the_Terrible]

Just food for thought, but I happen to like her tier list, if you want to give it a go, something like this would work

eLyl
Ravagore
2 x NBT's
2 x Striders 1 w/free ua
3 x Deathstalkers

in addition to the free ua, it gives you a free 4" aoe forest and +2 speed for your beasts turn 1.

Drop the stryders for double death stalker and a shredder.

2 death stalker= a unit of stryders all day long.

[grotznif]

You would go with 2 NBT's over a 2nd Ravagore?

[Phury239]

I like 2 Ravagores and a NBT with her. That at three beast you only need maybe 1 fury a management. You can get away with none though. So don't be afraid to drop the Forsaken or Shepard for something else.

[Lord GreyWolf]

I have Ordered

2x Ravagores
1x NBT
Annyssa
3x Raptors
2x Shepards
1x Strider Deathstalker

Get rid of striders, angelius is cool with her but I wouldn't do it till 50. The problem with 2 ravagores is if you run into anything fire or corrosion immune, you now have 20 points of your list thats doing nothing. Thats a big chunk.

[Phury239]

I think you're going to find one of the two shepherds isn't doing anything LGW
