Which is the best menoth warjack and why?
What are your experiances with them?

I don't think that any of the lights are that great, but if I had to pick one, Repenter. Continuous Fire spray for 4pts. Heck, yeah.

That's what I was thinking as I have won several games like that.
But I have aslo won games with the revengers arc node.
Any more suggestions?

It's all about the situation and the caster. Dervishes can get the kill with Amon, and redeemers with Kreoss. Feora2 can use a redeemer for a continuous fire template, Harbinger loves the devout for protection and most can get use out of an arc node if only to get the friendly spells out there.

But for 4 points it is very hard to miss-use a repenter. Continuous fire at POW 14 with the choir and a second shot from a vassal? I'm staying away from that thing.

The repenter is a fabulous light, probably the most destructive in the game due to the choir, let alone eye of menoth.
The reedemer is also insane with either pKreoss or Sevy.
The devout is probably the best shield guard light jack for all around utility...i mean spell immunity is bonkers and it can actually kill gak because of the choir, plus its immune to range or spells from the choir if it wants.

Now the revenger is a bit too expensive for an arcnode, so not really worth it, but thankfully most menoth casters aren't arcing spells.
The dervish is interesting and can be great for Amon, but its overall not that useful of a jack even with the choir as the menoth heavies are just so cheap.
Finally the vigilant is AWESOME in theory, but I really wish he has shield guard, thus making his crazy army useful.

Thanks for the replies
I guess I will have to make more lists with both of my repenters.

I like a vigilant personally, doesn't have the offensive output of the repenter but it does offer a lot of help to protectorate armies. Arm 20, two open fists and models in base to base contact don't suffer blast damage
. I love the little guy, he has saved my vassels and reclaimers more times than I can count.
Plus their is nothing like weapon locking a really expensive jack or warbeast, and taking them out of the game for a couple turns.

Depends on what you need.

If you're playing eFeora, the answer is the Redeemer.

If you're playing pSeverius, Blessing of Vengeance.

Lots of melee with ritual sacrifice (Reclaimer and Vindictus)? Dervishes.

There is no one size fits all light warjack that will make it into all
of your lists

Ok thanks I only have both kreoses at the moment.
So a redeemer or repenter is best.
What about heavies for ekreos?

eKreoss takes fire of salvation and then maxes out on exemplar troops. repenters for 4 pts with choir and pSevvy is scary, especially en masse.

So ekreos isn't really jack friendly?

Not really. His spells/feat support troops and what focus he does have would be handy in camping for protection rather than fueling jacks. That said, I did see somebody running 2 heavies and a light with him and doing quite well so i could have played him totally wrong.

So ekreos needs troops and the fire of salvation
But pkreos is alright with jacks (from my experiences)

I always take a Vanquisher with Kreoss (either one).

Honestly, I pretty much always take a Vanquisher...

I have found that 2 repenters work better than a vanquisher, from my experiance against khador.
