[Best counter to DoK?]

Obviously I'm not neutral on this, but if you like the Lumineth I think they'd be a good choice. 

DoK like to go and kick the opponent's teeth in, and Lumineth like the opponent to come and try to kick their teeth in. So both of you have their basic strategies available. 

You'll have options to take out some of his small heroes and make life really difficult in the magic phase if you want, but if you take any kind of balanced build you'll still have to make choices. 

I addition, the Broken Realms storyline seems to go in a direction where DoK and Lumineth could stand against each other, so there could be some interesting camping stuff coming too. The Lumineth will likely play a larger part in the story, so that's also something to look forward too.

If you are totally new to AoS, then the army set for the Lumineth is pretty good (especially if you can get it at a reduced price), the extras in there (gauges, tokens, ability and spell cards) are really helpful for a new player. 

I actually have three of those Lumineth boxes waiting for me to get to them. lol 

I guess I should play Lumineth then. There's a reason I ended up keeping those boxes after all. I just wish those spears weren't so dang long, lol

Most armies have a build that can counter a certain playstyle (or faction), what would your top 3 factions out of the 5 you mentioned be? All of them but SCE have shorter rosters and thus easier to both get into and out of. Shooting is a general hard counter, which KO and LRL are good at.

edit: I would like to second Graywater's point that picking a hard counter to DOK will mean your friend will lose interest in playing against you.

I get that, we'll have to see how that plays out. He's also building a Sylvaneth army, so he has another option. 

If I had to choose a top 3 it would be LRL, KO, and OBR

Saturmorn Carvilli,

I appreciate your lengthy reply, but I really do just want something to counter DoK at this time.

If I change my mind later and don't like the playstyle I don't mind selling/trading my army or keeping it and buying another one at that point in time. The good thing for me is that I like 90% of the range of minis, so I'll always find something I like in a faction. Same with gameplay. I'm very adaptable and enjoy a wide range of gameplay. I can have fun being aggressive, defensive, shooty, fighty, evasive, tanky, killy, glass cannon-y, etc.

Hey, I'm new here, please let me know if this needs to be on a different board.

I'm looking for a good counter for DoK. My buddy is the only person in the area who I have to play AoS with and he runs DoK. I have been reading and noticed a lot of armies are very weak versus DoK. I'm trying to find an army that would offer a good chance against DoK. I've heard they can be weak versus shooting if I take out the heroes. 

Currently I'm interested in SCE, LRL, OBR, KO, and FS. There are a lot of armies that interest me from a looks and gameplay perspective, so any recommendation is welcom.

Thank you!
