Ker-Ys Collection
Following SH2, my fledgling Ker-Ys collection will be getting a bit of a boost. This is what I've got/ordered already (apologies for any missing diacritics):
Hedroc (war-chain)
Annik (falchion)
Kernour
10 Ax-Drune
5 Brutes
Carrowek (ax)
Mawdred (banner)
Jowan (whip)
3 Drune Hounds
3 Goad-Drune
10 Bow-Drune
Slurping Zethag
Crom (glaive)
10 Ax-Drune
Meat Hulk
From SH2 I intend to get:
Annik (bow)
10 Rogue-Drune
3 Brute Corrupters
Hedroc (Sickle)
Gondard
3 Nithings
10 Shadow-Drune
3 Hound Aberrant
Brugg (thank you Goat-Eater deal )
I also plan to get:
Crom (2 ax)
Annik (sickle)
Mawdred (ax-falcion)
Kernour (alt w/dagger)
Jowan (2 ax)
Rose (Saairen)
Kerazek
Yes, I know that's a lot of nobles, but the miniatures/art are too good not to have them in my collection.
My current thinking is a couple of Battle-Drune commanders (take my pick of the equipment ), a Seer-Drune and a Harvest-Drune. Get the Ax-Drune units in there and the Brutes (cause they are what convinced me to start Ker-Ys), then I'm a bit stuck due to the sheer range of options I have.
Is there anything I'm very obviously missing to be able to make a fun muster with the above collection? Any 'must haves' I've not got yet? I know I've not got the Sword-Melusine host yet; I saw occasional comments about a potential resculpt for this unit, is it worth waiting?
(there's likely to be similar posts for my other kindred soon - just warning you!)

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
Looks solid to me and versatile enough to have fun list building, while still following a clear concept.
I mean you got Druc and the Hound-Aberrants for some variety. As it seems you're not eager to include Abhorrents or the beasties, the only thing I miss in your concept would be Carrowek for big games.
He's a beast!

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
Thanks!
I definitely prefer the look of the Brutes to the Aberrants, purely aesthetic choice that!
On the larger beasts, I'm holding out for the crab clawed vivicoct

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
Oh yeah, Conjunct XIX is at the top of my list too.
With the KS-price set at 54 I'm sure it'll be huge once it's produced....

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
It'll make a very nice centrepiece for my Ker-Ys in that case

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
Upon finalising my SH2 pledge, I noticed I do indeed have Carrowek on order... so that's that one sorted!

Death-Brute 146 - uncommon
3 Brutes (champion) 174 - mainstay
2 Brute Corrupters 114 - mainstay
Harvest-Drune 130 - uncommon (2) (had to fit Zethag in!)
7 Bow Drunes (champion) 87 - common
999
Battle-Drune (war chain) 73 - common
10 Ax-Drune (command) 170 - mainstay

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
As I've worked out what I have (and what I have ordered), it has become clear I am fast approaching 2000gc for all three of my kindred. I've worked out a Ker-Ys host almost purely based on what miniatures I have in hand now (need a Zethag!):
Carrowek (Unique + Rare)
Ax-Drune x10 - full command (Mainstay)
Goad-Drune x3 - champion (Uncommon)
Meat-Hulk (Bound)
Harvest-Drune (Uncommon 2)
Battle-Drune - Banner (Common)
Death-Brute (Uncommon)
Brutes x3 - champion (Mainstay)
Brutes x2 - great-club (Mainstay)
Seer-Drune - Bursting Flesh, Blind (Uncommon)
Bow-Drune x10 - champion (common)
Battle-Drune - chain (Common)
Ax-Drune x10 - full command (Mainstay)
I then have some gold left over, so for now it'll pay for a Falchion-Annik or a Glaive-Crom to bolster Carrowek's command.
As with my other kindred, I've worked out a 499gc list to help learn the game. Here's my Ker-Ys encounter host:
Battle-Drune (Common)
Ax-Drune x10 - full command (Mainstay)
Brutes x2 (Uncommon)
Seer-Drune - Bursting Flesh (Uncommon)
Bow-Drune x5 (Common)
This gives a little bit of most things to get practicing with.

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
I'd be tempted to add at least two more Goad-Drunes to the 1,500 gold list, to ensure the Meat-Hulk does what he's told, but other than that, looking good.
The Corruptors are amazing, glad to see those slotting in!
Cheers
Rob

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
Like my other kindred, working at 2500 gold list level for added monstrous fun. Here's my Kernowek list:
Carrowek
10 Ax-Drune - veteran, full command
8 Shadow-Drune
3 Goad-Drune
Meat-Hulk (bound)
Host Command:
Battle-Drune - banner
Seer-Drune - blades of the horned god, blind, sweet corruption
Battle-Drune - falchion (instead of a host champion )
Death-Brute
4 Brutes
2 Brute-Corrupters (bound)
4 Brutes - great clubs
1 Brute-Corrupter (bound)
Harvest-Drune
10 Ax-Drune - veteran, full command
10 Bow-Drune
Alix
Baedubera
Comes to 2499 gold.
When the Baedubera was funded in the last KS I knew it'd be a perfect companion for Alix (that and the other bears I have from MM are superb so who wouldn't want more?)

Re: Ker-Ys Collection
An interesting host, plenty of fightiness in there plus a bit of sneakiness. I like it! Alix and the bear are a perfect touch.
