Hey everyone, just starting out with Hordes and picked the Circle of Orboros as my first army because the Wold golems and their fluff appealed to me (God the Woldwrath is a sexy beast). So, here are my two 15-point lists:

List 1: Wolves

pKaya
Argus
Feral Warpwolf
Druids of Orboros

List 2: Wold

pBaldur
Woldwatcher
Wold Guardian
Druids of Orboros

I know they're both beast-light, but the Wold list managed to wreck my friend's Legion list today. I'm also working on a 25-point list once I get my Woldwyrd, and a stat card for my unit of Woldstalkers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I would use shifting stones if you are starting out with circle. Get some table time with these early. You will use them in almost all circle lists.

welcome to the circle, brother!

Are you planning on running tiered lists? I ask because I run baldur tier 4 at 35 points, and with a wwatcher and wwarden there isn't any wiggle room for a unit of Druids :( . As a fellow rookie, I would also suggest some stones if only to get familiar with battlefield placement... They are like sacrificial support troops, like medics... Either your opponent takes them out, or they keep your beasts up for an extra round or two.

My current 15 point baldur is
wwarden
wwatcher
sending stones
wstalkers

It works great if you can get the first barrage (since everything except the stones has ranged) and then feat to keep most of the enemy at bay for another salvo or the free charge via baldur... Either way the opponent should be significantly down on forces by then.

Hope it helps!

I was thinking about it once I get the army book, but as of right now my friends that I play against don't use tiers. And I was going to order the stones this week. Would you recommend the UA for larger games?

I have quite a bit for just starting this army:

pKaya
pBaldur

2x Argus
Woldwatcher
Woldwyrd
Feral Warpwolf
Wold Guardian
Woldwarden
Megalith

Druids
Woldstalkers

Druid wilder

I was thinking about getting the UA for the Druids, as well as the Standing Stones and eBaldur sometime this week, possibly another woldwatcher or woldwyrd. What would you recommend for a larger (25-35 point) game that would be a bit more effective?

Somebody actually plays Circle Ouroboros? O.O

Kidding. But honestly, I have never seen a Circle player. Ever. I can't say I've been in the game for ages, though, but... still.

At 35 points a pbaldur list with megalith wwarden and wwatcher is pretty solid at 9 fury possible, with a couple of support units (preferably stones to help heal/leach excess fury. It's very versatile being able to geomancy a powerful aoe blast 3 times, and then have three beatsticks twohand tossing anything they can't just flatten outright with stoneskin. Add a guardian for a grade A beatstick and you are almost at 50 already.

I don't play with Kaya, but I've seen some cool batreps with her and a handful of beasts...

Ebaldur pretty much requires megalith to counteract his wurmstrength... But he's a great addition anyway so it's not a sacrifice or anything
