Ok, after a lot of testing, I'm up to here working out a tournament list for pKaya.

Kaya..........+6
Feral WW......9
Gnarlhorn......8
Shadowhorn..7
Gorax...........4
Full Ravagers.9
Shaman........2


This comes to 33 points. I think stealthed Ravagers will do well enough for anti infantry and the 3 heavies will do the hard work. I have either the speed warped feral to go in and wreck something or the gnarlhorn can do a D6 + 4" slam and both of these are good for early yo-yos if possible, though yo-yo has become rarer since most people are ready for it and not willing to let you win an attrition game like that.

Once we go in for the kill its a bit like a brick. I can see the heavies all going in on one turn to wreck whatever is in the way or of course Kaya can get in to spirit door in a feral.

So I need a further 2 points... Shifting Stones were the obvious choice but I don't need serenity and found myself not using the shifting ability much.
So I'm thinking of a 2 point solo, the list would be:
Wayfarer, good for Hunters mark and more anti-infantry.
2 War Wolves, I would probably go for this if they had flank with each other. Alternatly, 1 War Wolf and Swamp Gobbers may work
Lanyssa Ryssyl, Hunters Mark is still good and I know she'd annoy my local legion layer :)
Pendrake, Extra hit for the ravagers maybe? He's not a great choice here.

Also, I think I can do without Primal. I'm thinking of taking an argus here for its animus instead. I'm especially favouring this idea as I don't want a pureblood.

I would get the White Mane in there. Running a full unit of Tharn, his giving them Tactician helps you put the shamans gang to full use, since it requires LOS (in melee range).

Totally get the wish for three heavies, but I'm not such a fan of the Shadowhorn. What have you been getting from it, that beats out Tracker for the FWW and Gnarlie and a White Mane for the Ravagers?

Aside from that, I agree with Jotun that in this list Lanyssa Ryssyl is the better choice.

I really like the shadowhorn, huge threat range of 2 handed throws works well with yo-yo.
I like the Animus with the Gnarlhorn too, D6+4" Slams are good control for enemy heavies even with shake off they are far away and with yo-yos its even better.
Going in for the kill both ways the shadowhorn is great, jumping in to throw the enemy caster to the feral or towards kaya...

I find lots of uses for him and he's so cheap!

I suggest Lanyssa Ryssyl because she gets you Hunter's Mark which is always good for a pKaya list, but also be cause you will run into Legion. They are always a bad matchup for the Circle so having an ace in the hole is always a good thing. If you can get something that neuters them and get your Hunter's Mark for the same 2pts, go for it.

I like the Satyrs too but at low points I have to say I lean more toward the Ferals. I've found throwing tactics and the tunnel in with slams is more necessary and effective in the higher point games. Even so, I don't see any problem with your list at all. It seems more than competitive to me.

Hm what about a Feralgeist, a you field so many point heavy beasts, it could add well to your cause.
I haven't completly given up on Saxon Orrick as well, but if you just want one picked out of your suggestions I would go with Lanyssa Ryssyl as well. Good luck, post some battle reports!

I don't own feralgeists or Saxon Orrik so I didn't list them, still I think the other options are better.
