hi guys :)

ive got a steamroller on sunday, and im taking two fairly similar lists, one coven, one pskarre. i was getting some practice games in the other day and watched a friend, and well respected player, lose twice in a row to eCaine.

ive managed to get my hands on his stat cards, and im at a bit of a loss really, thats 18 inches of threat range, and i suspect it wont matter that when he gets into combat he will only have 3 focus left...

what do you do against this?

i guess for simplicity, or so that i can recieve responses based on my actual situation, ill list my two lists.

pskarre
>deathjack
>slayer
>deathripper
6 bile thralls
10 bane knights
bane lord tartarus

witch coven
>deathjack
>slayer
>deathripper
>deathripper
bane lord tartarus
10 bane knights.

i know i know, the skarre list isnt exactly perfect, but ive had really good success with it so far, its not exactly subtle, but i have to make do with the models i have.

any advice on this one? Caine scares me.

edit: thinking about it, he can easily ignore stealth so i think skarre would be the better choice? i figure that its just a case of run her right into his face, surround her in biles/banes, pop feat, smash stuff, wether the following turn, then hope to kill him the next turn. or play defensively, and win by objective (moshpit for example)

Any help out there? This tournament starts in 10 hours and I'm still none the wiser, it'd be cool to have some idea what to do against ecaine even if i've not been able to play against him.
