So I have experience with every caster except the Butcher, and I can say that I really prefer debuffing the enemy more than going in head first destroying everything (I have Karchev for that).

A slow paced game of cat and mouse you know. Yet I don't like Cryx at all.

Zerkova -6
Destroyer +9
Juggernaut +7
Min unit Pikemen +5
Officer and Standard +2
Greatbears +5
Widowmakers +4
Greylords +4
Eyriss +3 (either incarnation)
WG Field Gun

The plan is to keep the 14" distance, in order to spam bombards, snipers, and field gun fire.

At the 10-14" distance, I spam Influence on troopers and Eyriss' disruptor bolts on any warjack that seems too close for charging distance.

If the enemy is playing a swarm list, I hope my widowmakers and greylords can keep up the ranged play, and if the enemy is heavy armored I can shuffle back a bit for another turn of range.

I think my biggest weakness here is cavalry, I never know how to deal with them.

With Z's B-ward, I can keep my guys relatively clean, and with epic Eyriss I can wipe spells off of the enemy. With Greylords I can hopefully debuff Def for the Destroyer/Fieldgun. Plenty of crit-kd and a crit-stationary and Z's feat to prevent a lot of shenanigans.


My friend plays cygnar and while I'm not sure what he is taking, at all, I know he doesn't like to be controlled and debuffed - by Khador at least, yet that is exactly how I like to play my Khador :/

I'm noticing a lack of a bodyguard. Either a War Dog, Ogrun Bokur or Drakhun; won't you need someone to jump in the way of a bullet/charging model? Gorman might not be a had idea either, keeping important units screened from retaliation.

How important is this body guard? I've never actually had one aside from a watcher 'jack in any game.

A watchered juggernaut/destroyer combo makes for a pretty good bodyguard on its own, imho.

I'd maybe take out the Great Bears in favor of maxing out the pikemen and taking either another field gun, since that's the list's style, or maybe a Koldun Lord for exta spells and battle wizard (plus theme!). Take that with a grain of salt, though, as I have never been the Great Bears' biggest fan.
