New player here, been working off the battle box to get to 35 for a journeyman league.
So far I'm at;

pKreoss
Crusader
Repenter
Revenger
Max Choir
Max Errants with UA
Vassal
Hierophant
Vilmon
Paladin
Nicia
Exemplar Seneschal


I want to swap out the jacks to get another Repenter, and probably getting the covenant next, but what after that. I want to stick with pKreoss to 50 before switching things up with another caster.

Reckoner. That's what's next.

The Reckoner is one of those jacks that every faction wishes they had. Last year when I played Menoth regularly the list started with a Reckoner, a unit of Choir and then I picked my caster and decided whether or not I wanted a second Reckoner.

My favorite Kreoss1 list was

Kreoss 1 -5
Reckoner +8
Reckoner +8
The Covenant of Menoth +2
Rhupert Carvolo +2
Gorman di Wulfe +2
Choir of Menoth (min) +2
Exemplar Errants (max) +8
Exemplar Errant UA +2
Holy Zealots (max) +6
Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer +2
Visgoth Rhoven & Honor Guard +4
Vessel of Judgement +9

This list basically looks at your opponent and said "Nope" Kreoss knocks you down, the Reckoners kill you, the Book says no knock down/no spells/occasionally fire, Rhupert mitigates terrain and gives tough to the Errants, The Zealots say LOL you can't hurt me, Errants with tough, no knockdown and Defenders Ward are just annoying, Rhoven and Co are severly underplayed as they can remove continuous effects, allow a model(the Vessel) to ignore stealth, and can remove 1 fury/focus off everything in their control area, including the enemy warnoun, and the Vessel of Judgement can throw out boosted POW 15's like a boss. And lets not forget Gorman aka the most broken 2 point model in the game.

As a Menoth player you'll likely pick up every single one of these models with the exception of maybe Rhoven and Co as many people tend to look over them.

Reckoner is good.

I'd also consider another unit. Usually by 35 points or so you want a second unit. Though you have a lot of support and solos so maybe it won't matter as much.

Reckoner is a good idea, though I'd also look into getting a Redeemer, which is extremely effective with pKreoss. While It's usually only good for scattering blast damage, on feat turn it's absolutely deadly. Because it is a bit of a focus hog, you could also look into getting Tristan Durant (the Journeyman Warcaster) to power it. Kreoss can run it himself, of course, but he'll need a fair bit of focus to do so, which brings me to my second suggestion: Wracks.

Wracks are a free focus a turn, all for a point. They are extremely useful with any caster, and always worth having, and can always fill in that last point very nicely.

Looking for a club in Brisbane, Australia? Come and enjoy a game and a beer at Pubhammer, our friendly club in a pub at the Junction pub in Annerley (opposite Ace Comics), Sunday nights from 6:30.

So, after combining the different forums I frequent, it looks like I have a good sized list of things to get.

Suggestions so far are:
Reckoner
Redeemer
Rhupert
Gorman
Zealots with monolith bearer
Covenant
Vessel of Judgement
Wracks
Rhoven and Honor guard.
and lastly Tristan Durant.

This should keep me going for quite a while, while also adding 84 points to my availability.
