I am also, the lack of any models with the command or LT skill will make it tough to activate and use the Lurkers.

It was, but as stated, I wanted this game to go easy on the Treshold team, while we got to grips with the rules again. It also provides some tough tactical choices for the Lurkers, but on the other hand, I had to focus solely on one model and the corresponding rules per turn  lol

It just demonstrates how I need a nice forest.  I really like the purple robes on the cultists, great brushwork.

The one-two punch with two Banshees is brilliant! Never seen it done before and I plan on using it against higher points lists in the future. Great idea and welcome to the cult!  8)

Thanks - if you search my blog, you'll find close-ups of some of my cultists.

Normally I would use some green moss/lichen for shrubbery for the lurkers to skulk behind, but this vas a very quick set-up.

I also have some large bases (various shapes) with no features that hold 3-5 trees on top each, to represent either areas of dense forest, or just patches of woods in un-forested areas.

Well, I just happened to have 2 of those promo-models  :D , but thanks!

You can call it the Kragh (or Argonor) Gambit  ;)

And remember, this is a Lurker list with no Command skill, just to  - imagine what you can do with Command and Lieutenant (maybe combined with Smart), letting zombies and ghouls swarm alongside the banshees to finish off the poor sods missing their sanity checks!

Thanks! I wish I had not been more or less off the grid for 1½ years, so I could have obtained a lower number, but, well...

Great stuff, Argonor!

The Banshee tag-team is indeed very clever.
I like the table that you have set up too.
Nice minis, terrain and van.
 :-*

And lots of trees......
One can never have too many trees.
(I just bought myself another twenty-five... ;))
