Folks, here's one of the other lists we're thinking of for GenCon. It's one of my favorite themes since I love the Rune Golem models. Very iconic...

It has a nice ranged threat to force people to close. Fortuna's Dice plus Nerekhall Training forces people to bank Inspiration tokens or stand there Immobilized. I've grown very attached to Marching Cornicen on the Crossbowmen- that free turn has been a life-saver in my experience. I would love to find the points to put a Greyhaven Channeler in for my Champion slot, but I just don't see where to rip out the points. With that, I see the biggest challenge to playing this list as the setup- getting the Golemstar in the right position at the start. The second biggest challenge is that many of the units need to be near each other to leverage their respective benefits making it even more important that you get everything placed just right. Also, this force needs a fairly wide frontage to fight, so Deployments like Overextended are a bit challenging. Finally, I think I'll put a 2x1 Spearmen with Rallying Cornicen in just about every Daqan force. It's so good and flexible.

Regardless, it's a fun force thematically!!

Any pointers???

No pointers. It is a strong list. I am looking forward to try it. Actually I think I'd try also variant with spearmen carrying dispatch runner - on some occasions they might help either crossbows or golems to get rid of some opponents (x-bows can hit really strong in melee, and it might be scary with TS and initiative 3 or 😎

Hm. It has the HP. Doesn’t violate the rule of 8.

my only concern would be damage output. BaronZ and the Xbows should do plenty, but I’m not sure if the token star gets into combat in time to really start dishing it out.
