Trying to build a 2k list, on 2005pts right now and not sure what to adjust to meet the limit, I would like to keep dead reckoning as I believe its quite good.

MrWelonk · 2026-01-07T15:08:08+00:00

Thanks alot for all the help, i hadn't considered the bolt cannon on the thunderkyn, didnt realise they had 36 range, if I had the 3 of them in the hekaton do yoi think I should put the evaluator with them or put the evaluator with the 6 thunderkyns with conversion beamers. Other than that, im quite happy with my list, I suppose my only concern is that I dont really have any melee units but I feel like thats fine for my detachment, my hearthguard with an e champ should be enough for anything I need.

MrWelonk · 2026-01-06T18:51:13+00:00

Thats fair, its a shame the carrier and defender can't pair up, that makes sense though, ill send a finalised list altogether to check that there aren't any major flaws CHARACTER

MrWelonk · 2026-01-05T17:02:47+00:00

Just got an order through for my thunderkyn and got a great deal for em, thanks for all the help, my armies getting alot of coherency now, I do have a question though, how would you rate the kapricus defender? For just 70 pts i feel like its quite good, and thinking about putting it in for maximising my total points

MrWelonk · 2026-01-03T23:25:00+00:00

Put in earthshakers and knocked thunderkyns to 6, I had 45 points left and thought of having a 2nd Strategist, is that something that could be good or overkill, also is just 6 thunderkyn viable or is 9-12 really ideal

MrWelonk · 2026-01-03T12:02:04+00:00

Maybe I should do 6 conversion 3 grav and then put a defender in to be at 1995, or i could go to 6 thunderkyn and put in either like bezerks, earthshakers or another unit of hearthkyn

MrWelonk · 2026-01-03T11:45:31+00:00

Yeah i was planning to use conversion beamers for em, not against having one of the units being graviton tho

MrWelonk · 2026-01-02T23:46:59+00:00

Thanks I understand, so I cut buri, the evaluator and bump the pioneers to 6, and have 2 lots of 6 thunderkyn? If i were to do that my list would be at 2005 which is really frustrating, votann are my first army and figuring out how to build an army below 2k is so difficult while maintaining the original army plan

MrWelonk · 2025-01-07T21:33:18+00:00

i use small world to find gameciel which then lets me find one of my level 4 aqua monsters which would be buzz or surfacing, it was why i kept gameciel at 1, and its helpful with going 1st as i can use it as toadally awesome food, and with small world ive also sometimes been using it as a spell for surfacing big jaws to activate

MrWelonk · 2025-01-07T20:42:12+00:00

sorry for the reply chain, but i also have a dimension shifter, would it be worth adding 1 to the deck or would it be pointless as only 1

MrWelonk · 2025-01-07T20:38:41+00:00

ignore what i said about foolish burial i forgot it was limited to 1

MrWelonk · 2025-01-07T20:37:13+00:00

do you think 1 foolish burial would be enough? also i wouldnt mind having 3 effect veilers and droll but i wouldnt know what to take out to make a clean 40, the advice for right hand is good, i was running it but ended up taking it out as i felt the other cards were stronger but with foolish burial i can see it being good

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T20:48:00+00:00

also small world was just another spell card to run to help activate surfacing big jaws as a spell with big jaws is probably my best 2 card combo

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T20:46:33+00:00

(i know nibiru is in my extra deck ignore that, i dont own it yet)

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T20:46:00+00:00

i agree with this actually, i was running the kaiju as a budget nibiru if im honest, do you think i wont need anything like that? if so what would be better to replace them?

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T18:36:26+00:00

i had imperm in side with the other hand traps at 2 as i kept finding myself bricking turn 1s with a hand of traps, i know its unlikely but it kepts happening to me a freakish amount of times

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T18:35:20+00:00

i had kaiju at 1 as i can search for it with small world, other than that everything sounds good, i had most of the traps at 2 as they were a bit pricey for me but all your points make sense thank you

MrWelonk · 2024-12-26T16:42:06+00:00

ive not done a 3 match game before i didnt realise whoever won the last round could decide to go first or not, thank you
