My first 2 lists.

[Ghyrrshyld]

Here are my 2 first 50 point lists. What do you think?

Army Points: 50
Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper -7
*Chimara 6
*Manticore 8
*Phoenix 10
Mage Hunter Strikeforce (10) 8
*Mage Hunter Commander 2
Arcanist 1
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Narn, Mage Hunter of Ios 3
Dawnguard Sentinels (10) 9
*Dawnguard Sentinel Officer and Standard Bearer 2
*Soulless Escort 1
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios

That's with the models I have.

And my second:

Army Points: 50
Garryth, Blade of Retribution -5
*Gorgon 5
*Chimara 6
*Manticore 8
Mage Hunter Strikeforce (10) 8
*Mage Hunter Commander (2)
Dawnguard Sentinels (10) 9
*Dawnguard Sentinel Officer and Standard Bearer
*Soulless Escort 1 or Arcanist. I haven't decided.
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios 3
Ghost Sniper 2
Ghost Sniper 2
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Narn, Mage Hunter of Ios 3

That list, I am going to try to shoot out the Arc Nodes/weapons/aspects on Warbeasts as quickly as possible, and use the much maligned Gorgon to tie something down for a round to get destroyed by the Assassins and/or Garryth.

Hoping to get the Dawnguard going with Mirage on them, which would allow some pretty absurd, old school prey type movement if one was to die during my opponent's turn.

In regard to the Garryth list, Garryth may not have enough focus to run that many jacks (at least the manticoe) efficiently. ¾ of his spells take half of his focus to cast, if memory serves. BTW I can attest to the nasty goodness, of mirage on sentinels.

I have run something similar at the 35pt level.

So if I was to replace the Manticore, what should I add instead? Maybe go with some merc solos like Nyss or something?

Ooh! or maybe Battle Mages + Soulless and Magister to move stuff into position for swift elven death?

[Beavertron]

If your worried about focus with Garryth you could always marshal the gorgon with the sentinels as it doesn't really need more than the one pseudo focus they give it to operate and pronto is pretty good on it as it allows it to get into combat with something and tie it down for the sentinels to charge next turn. Other than that both lists look pretty good to me.

This is a modified version of a 35pt army I ran in a tournament. It worked pretty well.

Garryth, Blade of Retribution
Chimera
Dawnguard Sentinels (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Dawnguard Sentinel Officer & Standard
Soulless Escort
Mage Hunter Strikeforce (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Mage Hunter Commander
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
House Shyeel Magister
Mage Hunter Assassin
Mage Hunter Assassin
Narn, Mage Hunter of Ios

I kept running out of time, 7min turns.....wow.
