Mostly this is the spitter and the new croak hunter unit. The spitter makes an excellent arcnode for eH. It also works rather well with Black Spot. It should be able to get more work done while staying far safer than the Sentry taken as the more traditional choice.
The croak hunter unit buffs fire damage and is AD in Skorne. They should combo well with Ashen Veil and the tough/no knockdown PGTM buff. Randomly Ashes to Ashes is also fire damage and is buffed by their abilities(as are the Incindiarii.)
What I'm currently thinking(broken into handy modules):
eHexeris
->Krea
->BronzeBack
->Gladiator
->Spitter
Fire Frogs
Paingiver Task Master
Incindiarii
Paingiver Beast Handlers
Extoller
Willbreaker
Agonizer
The real secret to this list is being a point over. It feels very paint by numbers, all very obvious choices above. The beast section also feels clunky and far too traditionally Skorne, but is the only thing that can handle armor really well.
It also scores a 0 on the Drake scale, insuring it is a bad list. :(
I played a game today with a similar list; instead of the spitter I had a shaman and some other bad models.
ReplyDeleteFirst impression is that the fire frogs and incindiarii module is probably a reasonable investment. The Fire frogs are about as durable as any other skorne infantry, and AD/guns made them totally worth it. Gang is randomly good for unsticking them, which is nice.
I killed a warpwolf over two turns of shooting. If I'd have had a krea I could have easily gotten the job done in one turn. I'm not sure eHexy will be in my current rotation for a while but here is what I would play:
eHexeris
Bronzeback
Sentry
Gladiator
Krea
Fire Frogs
Incindiarii
Beast Handlers
Extoller
Agonizer
Mortitheurge
Swapping the Sentry for a Drake/Brute tunes you for the cryx match a bit better.
