Having seen the new plastic Skinwalkers and heard about plastic Tharn Ravagers and Tharn (Ravager?) Archers I've been looking over the existing theme lists in FoH Circle Orboros and Hordes Domination. Has anyone else been inspired to play any of these lists because of the new releases? Currently I'm looking at fielding these.

Call of the Wild (eKaya): Requires a unit of Skinwalkers
The Devourer's Host (eKrueger): Requires two units of Tharn Ravagers*
Heart Eaters (Kromac): Requires two units of Tharn Ravagers*
Claw and Fang (Grayle): Can field Skinwalkers and Winter Argus

* Dependant on the new 'Tharn Archers' being a 'Tharn Ravager unit'.

The Kaya one is actually kind of weird, since I really historically only ran a minimum unit with her, personally. But it is a nice tool to have for players who will eventually maybe want to do that list, and already have the models for it from the battle box will be nice.

Grayle's list pretty much assumes Winter Argus I think. No sane should run three normal Argi. Two is already pushing htings.

And stuff.

I played the eKaya list with a minimum unit of Skinwalkers (proxied Ravagers) but that was only 35 points. I may play a full unit at 50 points.

The Circle half of that BB certainly has me thinking about expanding into them as Kaya and the Argus are some of my favorite models. Those Skinwalkers just look fantastic too. I had a large collection of Legion before that I sold off and wish I hadn't so I'm pretty torn on whether I want to split a box with someone and which half I'd want to keep.

Probably one of the strongest tiers in the book. AD for heavies (and cheaper to boot), fast moving, and gets a bonus to go first while not overly limiting what you'd likely run with her to begin with. Nothing but good IMO. Druids, Wilder, and Stones being in tier rocks. Skinwalkers are a serviceable tarpit. Not Bloodtracker good, but they service well.

The Devourer's Host (eKrueger): Requires two units of Tharn Ravagers*

It depends on if you fall on the side that says Ravagers are good or if Ravagers are bad. No stones, no druids are a drawback to this. No Megalith also hurts but you can make up for it with regular Watchers. Starting with corpse tokens is a plus though.

Heart Eaters (Kromac): Requires two units of Tharn Ravagers*

Personally I think this list is horrid. While eKrueger can get away without movement shenanigans, Kromac can't. Most of the bonuses marginal at best. BG stealth on turn 1 is pretty much meaningless since you're likely well out of range anyway and extra White Manes are meh. I don't think that archer Tharn will really do much to improve this list.

Claw and Fang (Grayle): Can field Skinwalkers and Winter Argus

It's pretty good until Tier 4 for requirements. Spamming Arguses is pretty much the worst way to spend 12-13 points in a Circle list. It looks like it will play very similar to pKrueger's since it's got alot of the same requirements.
