I recently came across the deal of the century when a an old player offered me his Circle army for next to nothing. He owned 685+(the cost of Kormac I dont have his Card) points worth of stuff but played only in 500 point games with this particular army. What should I pick out of this list to be most effective for a 500 point game? I would also be greatfull for any combo strategy pointers since I am a total noob. I am in love with the Circle due to their simularities to the old WoD WWtA game.

Warlocks
Kaya the Wilde Born
Kormac

War Beast
1x Warp Wolf
1x Gnarl Horn Satyr
1x Woldwarden
2x Argus

Units
1x Sentry Stone + Maniqins
5x Tharne Ravagers+1x Shaman

Solos
1x Black Clad Wayfarer
1x Lord of the Feast

I don't know the points cost, but from what I've played everything there looks great, though the satyr I've heard mixed things about.

You could make a couple of pretty good lists with those models. I'm not going to crunch any numbers for you, but here's a good online army builder to check out.

Kaya's number one weakness is her inability to handle swarms of infantry. To alleviate that, take the Sentry Stone, Wayfarer, and Tharn (always take the Shaman if at all possible). For her beasts, I wouldn't take more than 2 heavies and 1 light. The Satyr is great with her. Have it use its animus on itself, slam an enemy model, and follow up with 4 auto-hitting POW 15s. Then Spirit Door it back and do it again next turn.

With Kromac's Fury 8 in Beast Form, he can handle more beasts than Kaya. He's also better at slaying infantry. You'll want the Tharn and Sentry Stone still, but he doesn't have any great synergies with the beasts you have, so take what you like. The Woldwarden might be appreciated though, because his animus can prevent your opponent getting to Kromac (He likes being near the front).

Good luck and let us know how you do!

The best builds for Circle IMO always include the Druids as they are a multi task unit. Also 1 woldwyrd is a must for it's animus and ability to shoot from a distance to help clear out unit leaders and infantry.
