Well, here is a list I have been playing on and off for a while with pSeverius. I love him as a caster as he is versatile and can make most every army, but I am trying to find the right list for him. However, this one list is going for a Scenario/Jamming theme, with emphasis with clearing out Infantry and beast. Only real problem I have is going to be cracking armor, so I am debating what I can take out. Here is the list in its current form:


Faction: Protectorate of Menoth
Casters: 1/1
Points: 50/50
Grand Scrutator Severius (*6pts)
* Blessing of Vengeance (7pts)
* Hierophant (2pts)
Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)
Exemplar Errants (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Exemplar Errant Officer & Standard Bearer (2pts)
Holy Zealots (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts)
* Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer (2pts)
Exemplar Errant Seneschal (2pts)
Initiate Tristan Durant (3pts)
* Templar (8pts)
Nicia, Tear of Vengeance (3pts)
Reclaimer (2pts)
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts)
Saxon Orrik (2pts)
Taryn di la Rovissi (2pts)
The Covenant of Menoth (2pts)
The Wrack (3 wracks) (1pts)

Looks pretty good for the most part, though I do agree lots of heavy armour could be problematic for you. You're definitely skewed to taking on unit spam.

There are a few things about the list I'm wondering about though - mainly a bunch of the solos that seem out of place in the list. Firstly, with Tristan taking the only real combat jack (so the only one that'll need a lot of focus), which makes me question the need for the Reclaimer - he's cool, but there's probably better things to spend 2 points on.

Then there's Nicia, Saxon Orrik and Taryn. These three don't seem to add much to the list beyond a bunch more low-pow shooting attacks, and with the Errants/senechal and possibly 2 boosted Ashes to Ashes a turn, I just don't think they're all necessary together.

What about trading in a couple of those solos for Ayiana and Holt? Firstly, Holt is a bad-ass shot anyway, secondly Ayiana helps with your Armour problem, as POW 17 Zealot bombs, after kiss/eye/fervor, can really make a dent in most things.

Nicia and Taryn I wanted to use for taking out stray troops and solos that get out. Although I do see what you mean about having redundant low-pow attacks. Saxon Orrick I wanted for Utility for the Zealots with Pathfinder. Reclaimer I wanted to have him for focus with the Blessing so pSevvy can possibly Ashes to Ashes twice, although there might not be a need too.

Might think about dropping a couple of those solos and changing Tristan's Jack to a different one to see how many points that opens up for me.

Only one heavy is a little dangerous when he has a squishy "Off-button" following him around.

Also, solo overload extreme.

I would drop the Reclaimer, Taryn, and Saxon to get a Redeemer for Tristan and move the Templar onto Severius. That way, Tristan remains safe with a shooting jack and the Templar doesn't have the problem of getting out of control area.

Saxon is largely redundant as you have Rupert if you must have Pathfinder on the Zealots and Errants have it normally. Taryn is also not all that great at spot removal, certainly not good enough to take her over another jack. She's best in a pKreoss Pop'n'drop list where she can remove LoS problems.

Im not a big fan of the lack of heavies, I take at least 2 in my P severius lists. I would ditch the zealots for flameguard imo. And I don't think you need saxon orik or Taryn.

So I mixed up my list up a bit. Went for a balanced force approach with this now so I can crack some form of heavy armor if need be now. This might change also if I get the Avatar of Menoth in the near future.
