i'm thinking of branching out into hordes from warhammer and warmachine, after looking around decided that orboros was probably the best bet for something new and interesting (was thinking everblight but i've had enough glass hammer thank you dark eldar). i was wondering if what i wanted to buy was even a useable list.

eKaya (or kromac)
feral warpwolf (or a stalker or saytar)
warpborn skinwalkers x4
~15pts

The only times I've seen a 15pt game is in Tooth and Claw games which are caster and jacks/locks and beasts, so the warpborn can't be used.

EKaya lists at 25pt for me are rather simple

Pureblood, Stalker, Feral-

Pureblood, Stalker, Gorax, Warpborn min

Pureblood, Stalker, Gorax, Bloodtrackers

At 15pts I don't really know but:

Pureblood, Feral
or
Stalker, Gnarlhorn
are my top two choices

actually the pureblood, feral is making my "oh pretty" sense all tingly. i do have a question though, with the pureblood's leadership trait are skinwalkers considered warpwolves enough to use ghostly?

Skinwalkers aren't Warpwolves, so they don't get the leadership beneft, and they don't have the ability to warp anyway. Though it would be pretty cool if they could. That unit needs a UA.

Anyway, I highly endorse Feral + Pureblood as a 15pt eKaya list. It's really, really versatile - plus the Feral's MAT 7 is a big deal since eKaya lacks MAT boosting effects.
