    Default All Druids please

    I really like the themed army concept, all tharn, all wolves, ect. There are not enough effective druids to play an all druid list though (at least I dont think so). As of now there are:
    .....Celestal Fulcrum
    .....Druids of Orboros
    .....Druid of Orboros Overseer
    .....Shifting Stones (because of) Stone keeper
    .....Stoneward and Woldstalkers
    .....Blackclad Wayfarer
    What are we missing in a druid unit to make an all druids list good? or what is the caster/list that is good? I would love to see a circle caster with Bethayne's feat (legion of everblight).

    Maybe: Morvahna the Summerblade
    Feat - Hymn of Orboros
    Models in Morvahna's control area gain boosted magic attack and damage rolls. In addition, warbeasts get to use their animi for free.
    Spells:
    Transference
    Influence
    Eruption of Life
    Revive
    Signs & Portents

    Maybe too much...

    As always, yes. :P

    Signs and Portents is a 'foc' 4 spell. With Transference, she'd have no Fury left for anything else, especially without Harvest. Those spells also achieve similar goals - making infantry better (SnP obviously also makes beasts better, but they can do that intrinsically with forcing). Also, a balancing factor is that Signs and Portents is only applicable on Warjacks (2, at most, without a chain attack) initials attacks, and 3 additional from boosting. Now imagine it with a ferals 3 initial attacks and a further 4 from forcing. It increases the worth of Signs and Portents immeasurably.

    Yeah, I think your homebrew is a bit much probably, but I would love me some more druid options. I personally think our three man unit will be druids, and I wouldn't mind another druid option (either a larger, cheap unit or a small unit with really good abilities) in addition to a character unit.

    Further I think that a magic-boosting caster would be awesome. Something with a spell along the lines of "Arcane Alignment - Target friendly faction model/unit gains +2 range and boosted attack rolls on spells they cast. Upkeep, Range 6, Non-offensive" Cast it on yourself for better spell slinging, put it on Druids for better fishing ranges and higher Crit chances, or put it on the Stone Keeper or Blackclad to up those crit chances. Those attacks aren't very powerful, so it wouldn't really break anything, just help out in the crit department and give most of them a bit more range (obviously the blackclad's spray wouldn't be helped out there).

    edit: Also, Baldur1 tier 4 is pretty much all druid wonderfulness. With immunity to fire, cold, and lightning, and immunity to blast damage the Druids become pretty darn resilient, for the record. So it is possible to play such an army, but I wouldn't mind more options.

    Isn't pBaldurs tier lists basically all Druids? (and very competitive as well) -

    Baldur
    Constructs
    Druids of Orboros
    Stoneward and wold stalkers
    Shifting stones and stonekeeper (plus sentry stones)
    Blackclad
    Wilder

    Thats basically all the Druids stuff, the only thing missing is the fulcrum, and EBaldur has that in his tier.

    I'm not really sure what you are asking here. We already have all-Druid Theme Forces which are more than adequate. I don't really think that we need a Warlock designed with Druid-buffing in mind, especially since Druids are generally regarded as one of Circle's best units anyway.

    eKrueger's NQ Theme Force is pretty much all Druids + Eiryss. Both this list and pBaldur's Theme Force are very competitive (skillt has repeatedly taken pBaldur's Theme Force to the finals of Masters competitions, for example).

    eBaldur's Theme Force is the only Druid list which allows the Celestial Fulcrum though, and it is unfortunately the least competitive of the lists.
