I mean Fenton on his own. how does he, individually, go through 24 cards in a turn? Given he can only use Disintegrating Blast once and as far as I can tell there is no way to obey or reactivate a commander in a game where you are playing as Cult.

Oh I misunderstood. I can't think of a way to mill 24 with just Fenton. Not unless there is a way to pull of Disintegrating Blast twice a turn

I have been able to pull it off using 2x twisted horrors, The Burning Man Decends, and Arcane Tome. It's tough on turn 1 but after that it's a bit easier.

Well you can't go far wrong with the starter box, and then either two Raving Madmen or (my favourite) an Immolated Rhino.

I think ECB Black Ops can work in 1-commander games, but you'll probably want to mostly use them against Abyssinia or Kassa Okoye, where you can expect asset-loaded units to be plentiful.

Are the stalking portals worth taking outside of the starter box ?

What kind of lists are people using for single commander games? Outside of Fenton + Twisted Horrors I'm kind of struggling to come up with something solid. Has anyone been able to run the ECB at the single commander level? I really like the look and rules but seem tough to fit in the smaller games. Any thoughts/lists would be appreciated

Emphasis mine.  It's a summon, so it follows the summon rules.

Thanks for the quick response. I dont have the cards in front of me so I couldn't check

My first game I got it about as wrong as you could get. During the start of turn I summoned entire squads (3 fireteams) due to Endless Numbers. Yes, it’s a summons, but I didn’t observe the, “if it’s a squad only summon one fireteam” 

Does the text for endless numbers say it's a summons? I assumed you brought back the entire squad .

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Pretty much anytime something can immediately reinforce, does a token need to be used?

If I had known that they were going to come with the markers I probably would not have purchased additional breachlings. My doomseekers also came with breachling markers 

I would assume that if there is no number associated with hazardous then it would he 0. So it would be a damage flip with nothing added to it

Thanks for the response! I think I was over analyzing the wording on this rule.

No worries! I'm sure I'm doing the same thing on a few rules myself

You would add the number from the Reserve(x) to the 2 you would normally get from reinforcing. So in the case of the speckled crawlers, every time you reinforce you get 5

I've played about 12 games with that list against alot of different armies and won 8, I like the kassa art and model way more than Prince u. Only a fraction of her abilities work only on combined arms. I've only played 1or 2 games against gh  but its solid against cotbm and ke. She works great as backup to Margaret belle as well and i can take a non combined arms titan with her plus some rock solid troops to backup the glass cannonish aby specialists. Like I said in my post with the list depending on what you face will depend on how much you have to protect her, I've only lost her a couple of times but I was usually far up the board claiming objectives and still outscored anyway 

How does the matchup with GH go? I'm liking Kassa more and more but I was missing the card draw off of Titan assets from your list. I'm not saying it isn't an effective list, just personal preference. I plan on giving it a go this weekend just to compare to mine. I really like your inclusion of the Steel Legion as I have been trying to figure out a way to run them with their high points cost in a single commander game

I would strongly recommend giving Kassa 2 assets (I suggest maxing out on all Commanders), since losing her is a BIG blow both for your synergies and giving your opponent VP.  But yeah, it's a good idea behind the list in general!

I could very easily downgrade the marauder to a rail gunner or drop the engineer (I would hate to lose him) to give her the extra asset since i will use the Behind Enemy Lines stratagem 100% of the time to bring in the extra unit for scoring purposes. I agree that Kassa is the linchpin of the list so maybe an asset like Toughness or Sousltone Necklace?

Totally depends on how you're building.  If you're taking a mix of Dreadnought/Mech Infantry/Steel Legion then Kassa's probably a better bet.  But if you're bring Electrocutioners or want access to auto-Reinforcing, Prince U's your call.  Or hey, bring both and let Kassa give the Cutter's extra actions while Prince U auto-Reinforces them when they get injured.

Oh I completely agree. After re-reading Kassa's card Im liking the idea of taking her with a Dreadnought + Electrocutioners combo to take advantage of the spare parts ability. 

The list would probably look something like this:

Kassa +25

  Deflector Shield -1

Dreadnought -7 

  Mounted Gunner x2 -2

  Massive Furnace -1

Electrocutioners - 10

  Engineer -1

Marauder -3

The idea would be to use the Titan as a mobile firebase while the Electrocutioners hold things down in melee and use the Marauder to complete objectives. Prototypes would most likely be rockets for the Electrocutioners and the chemical foggers for the Dreadnought. I would also pretty much always take the Behind Enemy Lines stratagem to bring in the calvary or Crow runners (depending on the situation) and Emergency Repairs in case the Dreadnought goes down. I will hopefully get a chance to test this list sometime this weekend .

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of Kassa in the list? It seems to me that most of her abilities benefit non combined arms titans. I like the idea of the list alot, but Kassa could easily be replaced by Unathi for more support

That would make sense. I'm on board if they ever decide to do it

Same here. A friend and I were hoping to build intrest and run events eventually

Here you go!

Honestly I expected something like that to happen. Like others have said, a little warm water will fix that right up.

Yeah i was a little disappointed in the soft (maybe a resin blend?) plastic they ended up going with at first. The demo versions were certainly much harder plastic than what actually was delivered. Fortunately the quality is still very high for the most part. Lord of Steel isn’t so great, I would say average and the bendiness did no favors to the model. 

But, the rest of the Abyssinia models are quite sharp in details and the spears/machetes are not bent. Haven’t really inspected the Cult yet. 

Thanks for the info! Cult and Abyssinia are the two factions I bought into so that's good to know. Could you share a pic of the Lord of Steel?

Mostly excellent?

It looks likes with the new update we can expect more delays

I guess by free I meant that you dont have to spend any points on them initially if you use the stratagem. While tactics tokens are in high demand, creating a fast moving harassing unit near your opponents deployment zone could potentially swing things on turns 3-5

The calvary seem like a great choice for the Behind Enemy Lines stratagem along with crow runners. I dont think I would spend script on them just because they are free with the stratagem
