Hey guys!

I am quite new to Wm/Ho, so I would like to know if that "style" works:

EKaya (-3p)
Laris (0p)
Warpwolf Stalker (10p)
Pureblood Warpwolf (9p)
Argus (4p)
Shadowhorn Satyr (7p)

Tharn Wolf Riders Leader with 2 Grunts (6p)
Tharn Bloodtrackers Leader with 5 Grunts (5p)
Nuala the Huntress attached (2p)
War Wolf (1p)
War wolf (1p)


The idea behind the army is a mobile skirmish force.

Plan is to have the main body (Trackers and Battlegroup) under stealth. Satyr advance up front with Forced evolution and Tracker up, so he has a 360° set defence with a remarkable def. Pureblood and Stalker will follow. Tharn units will skirmish with the opponents infantry, Laris sneaks around and looks for assassination gaps to run through and port Kaya to the Caster. War wolfs should contest and jam big Jacks/Beasts with disruptive charges.

I guess Pureblood and Shadowhorn can do some movement shenanigans as well.

I know there are no stones in my list and "take stones" is the first advice I hear from everyone but I do have a certain reluctance to do so (maybe just because I want my army to be different...).
So I hope it is also playable without stones...

There's only 1 real dud in this list and I would say it's the argus. Replace him with a Gorax. eKaya loves her alpha strike and Gorax increases our hitting power and accuracy. Frenzy sucks but with good positioning you can minimize the fallout. Also the threat of primal is often more effective than primal itself. Sprint is better early on and you can save primal for the key assassination.

However there are a few more changes I would make as well.

I would max out either the wolf riders or bloodtrackers and lose whichever one isn't. Both are nice but I personally would keep the trackers. They have stealth and have number of attacks to deal with infantry which is something eKaya can struggle against.

I would also strongly advise adding a wilder. 6 FURY on eKaya seems nice but due in part to her 2 very nice upkeeps, partly due to the number of beasts she runs and partly due to the fact she loves letting them get to max fury she has issues with management. If you don't want stones at least take the wilder, or something that will help with fury management. She needs it.

I would also suggest losing the war wolves. They don't jam anything particularly well and unless they are charging a solo with no support they will simply die to return attacks. I suggest a black clad. This gives you some ranged magical damage and more importantly a way to increase charge range. Again this is something that eKaya loves.

Just my advice, good luck with it.

Well I tried out that list but with stones+UA and a reeve hunter for the argus and a war wolf. It worked much better. But what I am now thinking of is replacing the Pureblood with a Gnarlhorn Satyr.
I love his animus especially because I had some issues with high defence models lately. On the other hand the Pureblood brings a magical weapon which can be worth gold. But imho high defence is more likely to be on the board than incorporeal. Correct me if I am wrong though.
I guess the second caster has to deal with that then on tournaments.
And I can return in the second war wolf, which will work well together with the Reeve hunter.

The resulting list would be:

EKaya *3p
Laris 0p
Warpwolf Stalker 10p
Shadowhorn Satyr 7p
Gnarlhorn Satyr 8p
Tharn Blood Trackers (Leader+5 Grunts)+Nuala the huntress 7p
Tharn Wolf Riders (Leader and 2 Grunts) 6p
Shifting Stones+Stone Keeper 3p
Reeve Hunter 2p
War wolf 1p
War wolf 1p

42p

I tried out the maximum unit of Bloodtrackers and it wasnt bad. But I am not sure if 4 Trackers are better than 1 Wolf and the Reeve Hunter.

so what do you think?
