Vicarious Competition

I’m back in the states and won’t be traveling again until WMW in November.  Will be resuming a normal update schedule for the foreseeable future.  WTC Recap will be coming after the weekend, let’s look at our new theme force for now! Legions of the Dawn focuses on our Dawnguard units, and gives a teaser of Nyarr models to be introduced in the future.  The benefits give out the free points that are all but mandatory to stay competitive as Mk3 matures, extend our deployment zone which is useful no matter what your list looks like, and gives flank to myrmidons marshalled to our Scyir which we’ll talk about towards the end. I built a list using Magister Helynna who loves to have the weaponmaster infantry supporting her battlegroup. Magister Helynna - Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker - Manticore - Manticore - Phoenix max Dawnguard Sentinels - Officer and Standard - Soulless Escort Max Dawnguard Sentinels - Officer and Standard Arcanist Mechanik ...

I took the opportunity to do a last minute stress test on my WTC lists at NOVA this year.  Got lots of great games in against lots of great dudes.  With Templecon dead and gone, NOVA Open is quickly rising to the challenge and growing into one of the best events on the East Coast. Lists I ran throughout the weekend: Vyros2 - Forges of War - Helios - Imperatus - Griffon x4 - Aspis Shyeel Mechaniks - Soulless Arcanist Mechanik x2 Shyeel Magister Elara2 - Defenders of Ios - Banshee - Phoenix Halberdiers x3 - UA - Soulless AFG Houseguard Thane x2 Rahn - Forges of War - Helios - Manticore - Discordia - Chimera x2 - Sylys Arcanist Mechanik Shyeel Arcanists Shyeel Mages Shyeel Magister x2 Vyros2 has been previously discussed and there wasn’t much new based on my matches over the weekend.  What surprised me most was how little I wanted to drop this list.  This is mostly based on the matchups I was seeing across...
