Mohsar vs Krueger2

So, I got in another Circle vs Circle game.  I'm not going to go into a full battle report on this one, because frankly my opponent had some awful dice during the game.  I ended up killing Krueger on like turn 3 with a combination of Mohsar's spray, rockhammer and the Pureblood spraying.  Even with all of that I still had a Primal'd Stalker there to be able to get in there.

The biggest thing here is that it was a 35 point list so that made me have to make a lot of choices of what to eliminate out of my 50 point list.  Here's what I went with...

Mohsar the Desertwalker
- Warpwolf Stalker
- Pureblood Warpwolf
- Gorax
- Druid Wilder

Shifting Stones
- Stone Keeper
Shifting Stones
Gallows Grove x2
Wolves of Orboros (max)
- Wolves of Orboros Chieftain and Standard

What this meant is that I had to cut out the Celestial Fulcrum, Morraig and a Gallows Grove.  That's a lot of offensive power that I took out.  The Wolves of Orboros, with the mini-feat and Curse of Shadows were able to put out a decent amount of damage on some of the Circle beasts, but I don't know how that'd apply to something with a bit more ARM.  Also, for 35 points I have too much support in this list, its 9 points of support, which is about 1/4 of the list.  Even at 50 points I don't think I need quite so much support.

Also, the Pureblood did get quite a bit of play with his spray, but I think a Fulcrum will provide more here.  With that in mind, I think I'm going to consider trying out the Gnarlhorn Satyr, Shadowhorn Satyr, Feral Warpwolf or Woldwarden.

As far as units go, I'm also trying to work out what might be best there.  Wolves + Morraig definitely provide a nice tarpit and Morraig hits like a truck if I can work out a situation where I'm flanking (even more so if that target got hit with Curse of Shadows).  That said, I think Ravagers and Cavalry both might be worth a try here too if I want some more hitting power.  Druids might make a nice unit to get in the way in the middle of the table to block people getting to the Fulcrum while being immune to the shots, plus counter magic is always good.

The idea here is mostly that I want this list to be able to deal with armor.  My other lists have their niches, but this one has a good game against other Circle lists (which are populous at the dojo) and hopefully will be able to deal with high defense a bit too with the Fulcrum hopefully throwing an AOE out there.

Anyway, this post was a bit too much rambling, I'll see if I can't get a list(s) that I like out here.
