| = Thoughts on Kromac2 =
| |
| === Kromac2 in a nutshell===
| |
| Kromac2 is Circle's biggest facesmashing warlock. He himself can make a nasty beatdown with Rathrok, he throws his warbeasts into the teeth of the enemy with hyper-aggressive, and makes them accurate with Carnage.
| |
|
| |
| The rest of his spell list is fairly mediocre but this just serves to emphasize he should be making his presence known by other means.
| |
|
| |
| ===Feat & Spell thoughts===
| |
| * If your looking to use [[Primal Shock]] the highest strengths in Circle come from the [[Storm Raptor]], the [[Woldwrath]] or the [[Wold Guardian]].
| |
| * [[Vengeful]] on Kromac can potentially shutdown a melee based assassination attempt and can stack nicely with damage from [[Spiny Growth]]. It also works in concert on warbeasts that are being attacked in their back arc because [[Hyper-Aggressive]] will cause a beast to turn towards their attacker.
| |
| * Kromac really likes [[Ghetorix]]'s animus [[Spiny Growth]]. He also likes the [[Warpwolf Stalker]]s animus [[Lightning Strike]].
| |
|
| |
| === Drawbacks & Downsides ===
| |
| * It's obvious what he does most of the time
| |
| * Kromac is a big target and he will often be in the thick of things, he can die easier then you might think.
| |
| * Limited board control
| |
| * Unlike the previous owner of the axe, Kromac can't throw it like a boomerang.
| |
|
| |
| === Tricks & Tips===
| |
| * Be careful when you're about to trigger Hyper-Agressive - make sure your opponent isn't just using it to draw your beast into the range of more attacks, or force them to face directly the wrong way.
| |
| ** A good time to trigger it is towards the end of the opponent's turn, when they don't have many more attacks to make.
| |
|
| |
| =List Building Advice=
| |
| ===Strategy===
| |
| It can be tempting to rush Kromac into the thick of things early but it's often better to hold him back as a late game piece when the enemy has less models that can kill him. That being said, if he can pick up a few corpse tokens for later he will usually be better off. Don't be afraid to use his feat just for the +2 arm to his battlegroup. If Kromac or his warbeasts get killed because your waiting for the perfect alpha they just lost you the game.
| |
|
| |
| Kromac's biggest abilities help his battlegroup.
| |
|
| |
| ===Theme thoughts===
| |
| Kromac works pretty well in most themes.
| |
|
| |
| {{Header|[[The Wild Hunt]]}}
| |
| Reduced animus costs and Awakened Spirit don’t really work but given your range of options and Warbeast focus this is a great theme for him.
| |
| * [[Shivers]] with Awakened Spirit and Mimicry you can get two animi at a bargain, so long as you use Awakened Spirit on a Warbeast with a RNG SELF animus.
| |
| * [[Brennos]] the old goat brings with him a great deal of trickery that isn’t in Kromac’s kit. His animus is a good target for awakened spirit and retaliatory strike can work well with his crit pitch horns or reach weapon.
| |
|
| |
| {{Header|[[The Bones of Orboros]]}}
| |
| His obvious synergies with his battlegroup would normally say the Wild Hunt, but he's also fairly decent with [[The Bones of Orboros]] (although wolds don't gain the strength or arm buff from his feat).
| |
|
| |
| {{Header|[[The Devourer's Host]]}}
| |
|
| |
| He also offers a little to [[The Devourer's Host]] via Carnage, while it can give him a heart token, meaning he's often seen there.
| |
|
| |
| * Kromac can benefit from the [[Tharn Ravager Shaman]]'s spell Hunter's Grace which will make him immune to knockdown.
| |
| * The [[Tharn Ravager White Mane]] grants him +1 to attack rolls
| |
|
| |
| {{Header| Support Models - Various Themes}}
| |
| * The [[Well of Orboros]] can load Kromac up with corpse tokens and add in to play a Tharn support model regardless of theme.
| |
| * [[Druid Wilder]] a free upkeep is always handy
| |
|
| |
| {{Header|Minions}}
| |
|
| |
| * The [[Boil Master & Spirit Cauldron]] can provide Kromac with corpses, [[Puppet Master]], and threat extension from [[Spectral Lash]].
| |
|
| |
| === Battlegroup ===
| |
| [[File:Ghetorix.jpg|thumb|[[Ghetorix]] is his pet warbeast that he can take in any theme.]]
| |
|
| |
| * [[Ghetorix]] is his pet warbeast that he can take in any theme. It is very effective with the combination of murderous, overtake, and carnage for shredding infantry - and hits hard enough to shred beasts
| |
| * [[Warpwolf Stalker]] - Kromac gives it extra movement if people shoot it, Carnage helps it's mediocre mat and Kromac loves to be able to sprint away after he kills something.
| |
| * [[Pureblood Warpwolf]] - if he's going to buff damage you can safely bring the ranged one.
| |
| * [[Wold Guardian]] - although the feat doesn't affect the Guardians (other than Carnage) they are already high ARM and hit hard, but the synergy here is the combination of Hyper-Aggressive and Shield Guard on a model that's normally slow.
| |
| * [[Woldwarden]] - again missing the feat, the Warden gets a lot out of Carnage thanks to the chain attack.
| |
| * Satyrs- All three share similar weaknesses that Kromac shores up in some way: low hitting power, short range, low MAT. Also, both the [[Gnarlhorn Satyr]] and [[Riphorn Satyr]]'s animi can be useful on Kromac.
| |
| * A [[Woldwrath]] will let you cast Primal Shocks with the highest POW available and with the animus you get an extra die on the attack roll as well. Carnage also helps with its poor MAT 6.
