AoS Triumph and Treachery

[Xuil]

I know there is very little point discussing specific tactics until our tome comes out. However, I wondered whether people had thought about good approaches to building a triumph and treachery (3+ player) list?

The game itself plays very differently and some general rules will still apply. I THINK:

• Abilities and artefacts which activate in 'each' phase rather than 'your' phase are much more valuable in T&T. E.g. 'Arcane Might' on your Slann gives you a re-rollable dispel against EACH player that chooses to target you in the spell phase and is much more of a deterrent. Whereas Curse of Fates is just straight insane.
• Victory points are given for each 5 wounds allocated in a *phase* This has two effects:
• 1) It is not optimal for your list to be averaging 3-4 wounds in the magic or shooting phases, it's 'go big or go home' in each.
• 2) Abilities to deal damage out-of-phase (movement phase with terradons, charge phase with razordons) are a nice source of extra VP.

In short... a good general list won't always be optimal for T&T games and I'm still trying to figure out how best to build one!

Basi's with ARKs are the obvious answerer. snakes deal mortals at the start of EVERY combat phase.

I had actually missed that one! I only ever use the solar engine.

because currently the laser beam is better than the snake bites.
