Ok so I have picked up enough Menoth stuff to start playing some 25 point games. However I am in need of some Solos. Here are my options ( I only plan on picking up 2 or 3 right now) let me know what you guys think...

- Vassal of Menoth
- Paladin of the Order of the Wall
- Dartan Vilmon
- Bastion Seneschal
- Nicia
- Gorman di Wulfe

I currently own:

- pKreoss
- Magnetized Crusader/Vanquisher/Templar (Battlebox Crusader and Heavy 'jack kit both magnetized)
- Revenger
- Repenter (Currently broken trying to find repair parts)
- Full Choir
- Wracks
- Max. Temple Flameguard
- Max. Cinerators (Whom I might convert to bastions)

I am pretty sure the Vassal is a much purchase just wanted some input before I go ahead and make my purchases.

Since you can switch the Crusader to a Vanquisher, I'll say the Vassal.

2 Paladins of the Wall and Vilmon! I just love them, great looking models on the paladins and by their powers combined they become beastly.

From my personal experience, I would buy 2x vassal and gorman, though vilmon is nice if you play harby. I honestly wouldn't play the paladins without vilmon.

EDIT: 1 more support solo, I would suggest the Covenant of Menoth

Push to 4 and get a Vassal, Vilmon and 2 Paladins!

Vassal with the Vanquisher will work really well and the Paladins are just awesome

A vassal and Gorman. Solos rarely excel at direct combat and those two are masters of the indirect.

Definitely get two Vassals. Definitely. Gorman is also one of the strongest models in the game.

Vassal first, very very definitely. He'll support your jacks (especially your Vanquisher) very very well.

After that, any of those options are pretty good, though I probably wouldn't get the Bastion Senechal if you don't have bastions. If you want to get paladins, always pick up Vilmon first.

My suggestion would be:

1) Vassal
2) Nicia
3) Gorman Di Wolfe or Vilmon.

Once you get more stuff, other solos you should consider are the Covenant of Menoth and the Merc Rhupert Carvolo as well, both are very good for us.

2 Vassals are pretty much an auto-include, right behind Choir. The second one isn't 100% mandatory but at least one is.

After this, Gormen, Rupert, and Eyriss are pretty common inclusions. Rupert to give all your Errants/TFG tough. And also a source of Pathfinder for non-errant units.

The Paladin brick is always fun to run.

Nicia is also a good solo, although she can be a little specialized.

The Bastion Seneshal I think you only want to run if you are also running Bastions. If you take him, have him Marshal either a Vanquisher or a Repenter. They only really need one Focus to be efficient.


So my recommendations are

1) Vassal

2) Rupert

3) Gorman



After that,

4) second Vassal

5) 2 Paladins and Vilmon
