Circle didn’t get everything they dreamed out of Exigence. But, that is not to say they are behind the pack. Bradigus is very rude caster to the un -initiated. Circle got some great support pieces too. Let’s take a look at some of these great new models.
Warcaster: Bradigus
Even Baldur is a little jealous of how well Bradigus can run constructs. His tier lists allows for 3 units of shifting stones. If you were having trouble getting off teleport assassinations before, don’t worry this is EZ mode. Free animus and big capes heck ya!
Solo: Una
She is no Aiakos. But, she does have a really useful gun for killing jamming models and provides a discount on griffons. I think she will see the field regularly. At an 8 point package with a griffon she is not hard to fit in most lists.
Unit: Death Wolves
The more living models these guys kill the harder and harder they become to kill. They are really good at clearing loads of infantry and can shrug off butcher 3 swings. What else can you ask for?
Light: Argus Moonhound
A cute little puppy that makes circle shooting more viable. Raising reeves or shrimp RAT to a cygnar respectable level might be circle sign of the future. Gunline goats! The moonhound’s anti stealth is a little short ranged so it will have to survive upfield. Cygnar rangers can spread the love more, but heck this doggey can kill something in melee.
Light: Rotterhorn Griffon
Nothing special in melee. Can kill annoying high defense low armor infantry like nyss with its special attack. Has some niche uses that may or may not see the light of day.
Heavy: Brennos
Below average is a good description for this guy. He has some very situational uses and is more of a just for fun fluffy kind of guy. The WW Stalker is Circle’s go to beast. It is hard to make an argument to make room in a list for this guy over the WWS. He does have a potential ranged crit knockdown with an affinity of the caster that lets you reroll attack rolls. So, he might get dusted off once in a while.
