Hey I might play in an event - help me list build

So my actual table time has been way down lately due largely to having to deal with real life instead of just playing warmens (boo!!), but it looks like I'll be able to make it to a local SR next month.  I may or may not get any games in before then so let's build some lists and see how we do.  As far as opponents I am very likely to see Cygnar, Skorne, Legion, Cryx, and Circle.

I've decided that I am likely to run either Issyria/Thyron or Issyria/Vyros1 as my pair.

I'd love to get some feedback on which pair to run and thoughts on my first look at the lists.  I'm happy to make some changes particularly with Vyros1.  I have a lot of games in with Issyria in shadows and similar Thyron lists but relatively few with Vyros1.

Destors in depth

Destors are a big enough block of rules to deserve a more detailed look.  As a unit they are probably too obtuse and rules dense but once played the interactions aren't actually that complicated. Lets start by just going through the models base stats.  Destors actually have a very solid basic stat line.  Most of their stats fall along the middle line of cavalry models with good speed, defense, armor, decent numbers in both attack stats, and 5 boxes.  Being cavalry they also benefit from having the option of making impact attacks and getting boosted charge attack rolls. Impact attacks are going to lead us directly into our first rules interaction.  Destors have quick work allowing them to make a basic ranged attack when they destroy an enemy model during their combat action.   The underlined part is important as impact attacks do not occur during their combat action and thus do not  trigger quick work. That leaves us two options for actu...

The Defenders Project

So I feel like right now defenders is so much better than all of our other themes that basically every caster in the faction can just play in defenders.  With that thought I decided to sit down and make a defenders list I like for each caster.  My theory is basically that 1-2 AFGs + 1-2 Halbs = best generic list in ret so each list will also include at least one afg and one unit of halbs.

Quick Update

I've started to add a list section to the blog.  It is sorted by caster as they appear in war room in the drop down menu on the right.  I'm hoping to be able to aggregate interesting lists in one place that is a little bit easier to find.  My goal is to put some brief thoughts about the caster and then add lists.  For lists that I've hijacked from elsewhere I'll do my best to credit where I saw them.  For lists that I've been working on I'll try to add some brief thoughts. Currently Rahn is the only one that is formatted how I think I want this set up.  If anyone has recommendations for formatting please let me know
