Hi guys,

I bought a Menoth army a few weeks ago from a guy (my first experience with Warmachine) and I'm working out how to get the best synergy out of the components .... it was a little piecemeal I think, but it has some potential if I can work out the combos and/or fill in the gaps. I have bought a few models which I thought may assist, but I'm interested in suggestions on lists from the models that I have. I'll outline the models I have available and then the lists that I have made so far.

Warcasters:
pKreoss
pFeora
eFeora

Jacks
Reckoner (It is the kit, so I have Sanctifier and Castigator available as well)
Vanquisher (It is the kit, so I have Templar and Crusader as well)
Crusader
Repenter
Revenger

Units
Choir - Full
Exemplar Errants - Full + UA

Solos
Covenant
Vassal
Rhupert Carvolo
eEiryss
Exemplar Errant Seneschal

From this, I have the following 35pt lists

1.
eFeora or pFeora
Reckoner
Vanquisher
Repenter
Choir (min)
Errants+UA (full)
eEiryss
Covenant
Vassal
Exemplar Errant Seneschal

2.
pKreoss
Reckoner
Templar
Choir (full)
Errants+UA (full)
eEiryss
Covenant
Vassal
Exemplar Errant Seneschal
Rhupert Carvolo

Both lists seem fine as a starting point. Get some practice and
decide how they play for you. That first list I'd probably run with
eFeora more than pFeora, but you may want to find a way to get
a Redeemer or a Judicator in the list to really reap the benefits
of her warjack bond..

Cool, thanks.

The only reason that I have pFeora is because the company I bought eEiryss, Vassal and Seneschal off messed up my son's order and they sent pFeora instead of his Ret. Ghost Sniper.

I appreciate your feedback.

In the current formats would you pick list 1 over 2?

P.S. List 2 I was tossing up either eKreoss or Reznik as an alternate warcaster

You'll have to get a feel for them. I think I've played more games
with eFeora, but pKreoss can be a tough prospect to face. He's
more "all comers" as a caster whereas eFeora can come up
against the odd bad matchup (dudes with Fire immunity
mostly).

I'd consider a Templar swap with a Redeemer. I forget what
the points difference there is? If you do that, you grab something
that gives you focus efficiency like a Hierophant or Wracks or
even another Vassal.

The Redeemer is six, so he would have two points to work with. Also, I had some experiences with him. He is certainly an 'all-comers' casters, but he is easily countered by list with arc nodes, no knockdown or have both. Granted he is still playable in that situation, but you are not getting as much mileage out of him.

For his lists, I say the second one is good, as you have things that go good with his playstyle for the most part. However, I say switch out the Templar with the vanquisher if you are going for the pop and drop. If not, then either choice is good.

For your Feora list, I second Malfred's notion as well, sinde he Judicator and Redeemee really benefit fro, her bond. Again, play your lists, get some practice with them and see how it works for you.
