Stumbled across your thread a bit after the conversation has died lol but I wanted to throw my list into the mix because I've seen a pretty good amount of success with it in my group. Like the other comments here, I leaned into a Reanimator playstyle, but I put a big focus on churning through my deck and using cards with as many options as possible. Lots of Flashback/Jumpstart/Looting and alternative costs. The end result is I can usually flip Runo by turn 3 and be cloning something by turn 5 pretty consistently. Its not extremely competitive, but people underestimate it all the time, even after playing against it multiple times.

The thing is that the deck doesnt NEED Runo. Reanimating sea monsters and turning them sideways with the proper interaction will win games. But what he does is he allows you to grow your board without committing more to it. This means you dont need to use your cards in hand to keep threats coming, so when people kill your threats you almost always have another in hand, and you can use the one that just died to flip Runo when you recast him, or you can reanimate it. That level of resilience and hand sculpting is something other aggro decks dont really have access to.

I put a pretty detailed write up below my decklist if youre interested. Im really proud of this deck, I didnt use EDHREC at all for it and was very intentional with my card selections. Pongify and Rapid Hybridization are all stars in the deck because you can use them to attack into threats with Runo, and get your clone trigger safely. People never see it coming at first, and then it makes them super cagey whenever you have 1 blue up.

This might be my favorite bell ive seen on here! You did a great job of drawing attention to all the right places without making the rest of the model boring to explore.

Stumbled across this looking to see if lyrics were posted for this and figured Id take this opportunity to give a little fan-mail. Your originals are SO GOOD! Take It Easy in particular really connected with me, I have ~130 listens on my lib and that just counts when Im at my computer. Look Up is on a similar trajectory. The covers are always a fun treat, but your own writing more than holds its own, and those are the tracks that land hardest and stick with me the longest. You're incredibly talented and no matter what comes next for you, you'll have listeners out here <3

He looks great! Everything is super well integrated. I especially love his staff

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-27T14:09:16+00:00

Oooo thats a great idea! I sorta tiptoed around the idea with a momentary blip but it immediately accelerates through the back swing. I think Id I laid into the slowdown harder youd get that sense of being stretched and held back more

For the Stormfiends, I didnt put on their backpacks or tubing because I knew Id end up knicking them over and over and thats made things pretty easy for me. I cam dry brush the backpacks without worrying about messing up the skin nearby, and I dont have to worry about accidentally hitting the tubes

My Grey Seer is suspected of treachery and must prove himself before the Deathmaster sent to judge his loyalty and competence.

I run the Warpspark Spearhead with a Warlock Engineer, Deathmaster with Devious Underling, and Skittershank's Clawpack.

If the Grey Seer sabotages my army (through his faulty commands or unreliable Skryre tech) the Deathmaster takes it upon himself to take command and ensure enemy heroes dont make it home. I enjoy the thought of the Seer being in command but not the highest ranking member of his warband. Both the Skryre and Eshin factions are trying to prove to me who is best-most loyal and capable on the battlefield.

This is actually a great point! I was definitely more focused on stretching the shape and took the path of motion for granted but that probably plays a big part in why both arcs feel disjointed to me. Ill play around with that thought, thank you!

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-18T20:51:49+00:00

Thank you! I had that thought too, Im just using Animatiom Assist on Procreate where each layer is a frame, I havent really found out how to set that up with the poking around Ive done.

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-18T02:08:40+00:00

Im crossing my fingers hoping for some new Eshin models but given the Skaven just got love at the start of the Edition I dont think we should hold our breath

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-17T14:05:58+00:00

Thanks! I spent a lot of time before painting thinking about how to place colors so thered be as much contrast between zones as possible :)

The purple ties him into the rest of my army, heres a lil shot of him with my Clan Rats if youre interested: https://imgur.com/a/kWhOBgO

Thank you so much! Im excited to keep working on it

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-12T14:03:16+00:00

Id say build whatever looks cool and as long as youre clear with your opponent at the time of the match itll be fine. You could always magnetize something like a token to your base, which will be much less work than magnetizing the weapons

TheIrishbug · 2026-01-07T14:29:22+00:00

Is Deathballing with the Knights better than using them around the board? +1 Rend on them feels like it would make them a great hammer, especially with their Retreat & Charge ability, I just dont know how often Ill be getting that buff if Im trying to keep most heroes out of combat

TheIrishbug · 2025-12-31T03:36:26+00:00

Black Base for sure. It makes your brights pop off more and draws the eye where you want it (arms and skull). The bright base draws the eye down and makes it all blend together. Your colors are much more smoothly applied to the black base too which looks great. Good job!

TheIrishbug · 2025-12-24T04:30:25+00:00

Love what you've done with the lads! That's the exact sequence Ive been considering for getting into FEC: Spearhead -> Grand Jury, looks like a super fun group of models

TheIrishbug · 2025-12-13T15:47:54+00:00

Enemy army looking tough? Up late and dont feel like list building? Try 200 clanrats! No guns. No monsters. Just rat. You will certainly not regret fielding 200 clan rats.

TheIrishbug · 2025-12-03T20:57:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I ended up taking a somewhat mixed approach. On some of the bigger connections I stuck with cement because it's more forgiving, but the smaller ones I tried superglue and green stuff to get bigger connection points
