Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on Retribution, but I only have access to the following models:

Rahn
Vyros
Ravyn
Kaelyssa
1 Hyperion
2 Phoenixes
1 Chimera
2 units of Battle Mages
1 unit of max Halberdiers + UA
1 unit of max Riflemen + UA
eEiryss
2 Arcanists
1 Artificer
2 Magisters
2 Mage Hunter Assassins
2 Soulless Escorts
Sylys

Here is what I'm thinking for 35 & 50 with Rahn:

35 points
Rahn (+6)
Phoenix (10)
Battle Mages (5)
Max Halberdiers (7) + UA (2)
Max Riflemen (8) + UA (2)
Arcanist (1)
Magister (2)
Mage Hunter Assassin (2)
Sylys (2)

50 points
Rahn (+6)
Phoenix (10)
Phoenix (10)
Battle Mages (5)
Max Halberdiers (7) + UA (2) + Soulless Escort (1)
Max Riflemen (8) + UA (2)
Arcanist (1)
Arcanist (1)
Magister (2)
Magister (2)
Mage Hunter Assassin (2)
Mage Hunter Assassin (2)
Sylys (2)

Thoughts?

Also, what would you all recommend for a second list for Steamroller events?

You 35p list seems ok, go with that

Both those Rahn lists seem reasonable. A lovely heavy arc node and not too much reliance on the feat turn (by piling in the battle mages).

As for a second list, one of the major problems Retribution has is stealth and Rahn has issues with that as well. This means that Ravyn isn't going to be the best pairing because if I saw those two against me I would automatically pick the list with the most stealth. Fortunately you have two casters who don't care about this issue, Vyros1 and Kaelyssa.

As you don't have access to other units stick in the Riflemen and Halberdiers at the very least. Then you might as well get some use out of Eiryss so in she goes as well. If you really want to annoy spell casters like Cryx then use Kaelyssa and both your souless escorts. I think Vyros would be the better of the pair to use Hyperion with as +2 ARM will always help it survive but maybe only at 50pts.

Other than that experiment and see what you prefer. Hope this helps.
