Morvahna the Autumnblade

Recently, I would have to say that the caster I've been having the most luck with has been Morvahna.  I've been trying to perfect how I want to play her, and I haven't quite gotten the formula 100% ironed out. Here's the list I've played the most so far...

Morvahna the Autumnblade
- Ghetorix
- Wold Guardian

Tharn Bloodtrackers (max)
- Nuala the Huntress
Warpborn Skinwalkers (max)
Shifting Stones
- Stone Keeper
Shifting Stones
Gallows Grove x3
Tharn Wolf Riders (max)

Right off the bat, Bloodtrackers with Morvahna are to me a no brainer.  I need a big target for Regrowth, and really they need to be something that is going to both be a pain in the ass to my opponent while also being able to put out some offense, while still having at least 10 models and being small based.  Really, after that I'm willing to shift around almost anything in the list.  Ghetorix has been nothing short of amazing really, so I don't know that I really see him going anywhere.  Skinwalkers have done a good job too, makes Morvahna basically immune to ranged assassinations.

I've tried a couple of other ideas as well...


Morvahna the Autumnblade
- Ghetorix
- Pureblood Warpwolf

Tharn Bloodtrackers (max)
- Nuala the Huntress
Warpborn Skinwalkers (max)
Shifting Stones
- Stone Keeper
Shifting Stones
Gallows Grove x2
Tharn Ravagers (max)
- Tharn Ravager Chieftain

This list I only played once against my girlfriend's Cryx, don't remember which caster either.  Ravagers got the ARM buff and ran out and raised some hell.  ARM 16 with 8 boxes is a bit more respectable than ARM 14, and if I can manage to get them into a forest to bump their DEF to 15 its even better.  The Pureblood did alright, but nothing to write home about really either.

- Ghetorix
- Wold Wyrd
- Wold Wyrd

Tharn Bloodtrackers (max)
- Nuala the Huntress
Warpborn Skinwalkers (max)
Shifting Stones
- Stone Keeper
Shifting Stones
Gallows Grove x2
Blackclad Wayfarer
Tharn Bloodweavers
Totem Hunter

This one has only gotten a game in, but I don't know that I felt that impressed.  The Totem Hunter did ok I guess, his purpose really is to deal with the troublesome solos, biggest one being Eiryss since she's the most likely to knock an upkeep off of anyone who isn't Morvahna.  Game I played was against Deneghra and he managed to take out the Sea Witch so I'd have a chance to actually kill some Satyxis Raiders, so that was nice.  Really, I should have sent him on a suicide mission to deal with Admonia though.  My original thoughts were that Bloodweavers might be something good to have against heavy infantry as I've found that to be a bit of a trouble spot with some other casters.  Also, being able to remove an upkeep is good.

Not entirely sure where to go from here just yet.  Again, I think the only things that have "earned" their spots are Ghetorix and Bloodtrackers + Nuala.  The unit(s) of Shifting Stones, Skinwalkers and Gallows Groves coming very close to not going anywhere.  Basically means I need to find 1-2 beasts I'm happy with as well as between 10-12 points of infantry.

Based on how many of my games have went with this list, I am extremely excited to get ahold of the Gatorman Witch Doctor to make my Bloodtrackers both Undead and Tough, 2 amazing buffs.  The Scarsfell Griffon might have a place in this list too, not entirely sure just yet.
