Moving Toward Competitiveness

I've found the game of Warmachine/Hordes unfulfilling beyond the hobby aspect for more than a year now. With the confluence of eMorvahna playing in a way I wish pMorvahna could and the recent commentated Iron Gauntlet videos Privateer Press Prime has released, I find myself with a re-ignited passion.

For too long I played caster kill only or strictly killbox. Even with this current season of JBL starting to utilize SR2013 rules, I only got a few games in that were scenario and was still helping some opponents while the group grows their armies and experience. Our non-gaming-store group has a lot of potential with very smart players.

HOWEVER, I live very close to a spawning vessel of serious tournament players with decent access to most major East Coast tournaments. So I am moving in a direction.

I like double stalker as much as the next guy, but I believe eMorv's feat begs for 3 units of infantry. Also no Gorax. The hope is that Scales of fate will be strong enough to fill in the gaps when the Stalker really needs it. I want to consider Woldwrath, but I would have to sacrifice a lot of bodies to do it. Lastly is the Woldwatcher. Great for his protective benefits but with the improved consistency of Scales of Fate giving him a much better chance of putting that forrest exactly where it's needed.

Won't know until I try it more. With this build the only thing I may consider changing off the bat is dropping the the Stones w/ Keeper for a Gatorman Witchdoctor.
