Here is my current 35 point list:

eFeora
Redeemer(bonded)
Reckoner
Vanquisher
Temple Flameguard Max and UA
Choir of Menoth Max
Vassal
Reclaimer
Covenant of Menoth
Rhupert

I've now played it against circle (super close but lost on scenario) and trollbloods (decisive victory through attrition). I enjoy the hell out of the list and faction for that matter. People in my local meta really prefer to play 50 points though so I would really like to expand the list. I think I would like to keep what I already have in the list and just add (but I am open to suggestion). So obviously I have 15 points to add or if I go down to a min choir I've have 16 points. Here are the pieces I was considering:

Errants and UA
Holy Zealots and UA
eEiryss
Lady Aiyana and Master Holt
Bastions

Its very hard to choose. Everything in this faction just looks awesome! So basically here is briefly my thoughts on each consideration of mine.

Errants-they just seems like awesome models. I know eFeora doesn't really do much for them but they seem like they can independently function just fine. She can give them Ignite though, turning them into pow 11 weaponmasters....not bad. And they also provide more souls for my reclaimer.

Holy Zealots- lots of people think highly of them. To be honest I don't really need much more help spreading fire, but I suppose with the UA's mini feat I can catch a bunch of them on fire then transfer it with eFeora's feat. They also seem like they can jam well with their mini feat.

eEiryss- She can be a very mobile piece in an otherwise slow(er) army. But mainly taking her for Arcane interference in order to get rid of upkeeps and animi on key enemy models. Also disruption on warjacks.

Lady Aiyana and Master Holt- Don't know too much about these two but Kiss of Lyliss is pretty damn sweet. Combined with Warjacks under battle or units under Ignite thats an extra 4 damage on rolls against that target.

Bastions- These guys hit hard and with Sanguine Bond they are even harder to remove. Hoping they would be good at holding points or at least drawing my opponents attention and resources to them long enough so that I am free to use the rest of my army how I wish.

So anyway I am now asking for some guidance. I need either 15 or 16 more points of models to get to 50. Those are just my considerations, if there are other pieces that would work well I am completely open to that too. Thanks you guys!

I have to whole heartedly recommend the Errants. They are fantastic tar pits. They are a threat at range and in melee even without support from a caster.

Also, maybe Gorman di Wulfe? Cant' go wrong with Blind.

Out of the list of things you're considering, I think that Holy Zealots + UA and eEyriss are going to help you out the most.

Zealots don't need buffs and don't want buffs. This is perfect for 'Jack caster Feora who can spend her resources fueling her 'Jacks or her spells. The zealots are also capable of wrecking clumps of infantry, light jack/beasts, and putting some damage on a heavy. Their feat turn, combined with the no spells chant, gives them some remarkable tarpiting abilities.

Eyriss provides Feora with a way of cleaning off upkeeps as she doesn't have a way of handling it herself. It can also keep your opponent leary of moving their caster forward.

This would leave two points left in your path to 50. I'd consider another Vassal of Menoth or perhaps Gorman to make it harder for people to hit/see Feora while his alchemical grenades are more flexible in what they do than Aiyanna+Holt (though it's not unheard of to stack them in one list; -4 armor is brutal).

Bastion Seneschal + 2x Repenter.

Amazing 11pt block of awesomness.

You are correct, there is a ton of awesome solos available for Menoth.

And everything on your list is great.


With eFeora, you should of course consider the Judicator. You think the Redeemer lights **** on fire, you should see what obscenity the Judicator gets up to. It can put out 6 3" AOEs a turn with a Vassal helping it. And it generates a free Focus each turn which helps Feora out a lot.

Errants would be a solid choice. One of the best infantry in the game, and you have 2 things which make them even more awesome. Rupert and the Covenant. Rupert gives them Tough and the Covenant prevents them from getting knocked down. It makes an already deadly unit very difficult to deal with. And Feora can give them Ignite to turn into rather nasty pow11 weapon masters.

I'd also pick up Rhoven and company. Excellent toolbox support along with some melee power. They can let a single model ignore Stealth which is quite powerful(slap it on the reckoner to snipe out annoying stealth models)


Of course you could also consider getting a second warcaster.

iKreoss is pretty good. Consider getting him a Revenger as well. He loves Arc'd Force Hammers and Crevasses.

pSeverius is also amazing. Eye of Menoth is a thing. He also wants an Arc Node, preferably his character Jack.

pKreoss is a pretty standard serving. good old Pop'n'Drop!

It is hard to go wrong with errants. Arguably the best infantry in the game. And work well with nearly all the casters if you end up playing with someone else.

I think they are a workhorse unit for Menoth and pretty much all POM players should own them.

They're great, but I feel that TFG or Zealots are better units if fielding a caster that doesn't have a defensive buff for them. A Defender's Ward caster (Kreoss1, Sevvy1, Vindictus) makes them hard to hit and so that they shrug off most POW 10 shooting/blasts. Just a defensive buff (Harbinger's Awe, Sevvy2/Kreoss3's Holy Ward) is good, too, but helps the Flameguard more as they can spike ARM without spells.

They're still REALLY good. They do have weaknesses and there are lists where they should not be included.
