I would personally keep with eKaya. Here def buff with forced evolution is essential to keeping a control point. On her feat you can pull back and heavily defend a single control point or 2 if that?s all you need to win. It?s helped me win more than one match. I would keep in the gorax not only for his animus but also for a two handed throw off of a control point. I have more than one found this key to victories. As for units you need to use the stones. Most opponents who don't play against circle often don't realize that the stones have a command score and can take control points. The druids are also useful since they can pull things off of control points. I also believe that LotF is a fantastic infantry killer when they are control point guarding. I recommend putting out either him, Lanyssa Ryssyl(If your careful not to get rid of your pathfinder), Totem Hunter, or Victor Pendrake in any list you can. They are solid solos worth using.
Now as for things I think you should get. I would suggest Wolf Lord Morriag. He is a mobile tank. Spd 8 pathfinder and turn one he is almost to a control point. Use the terrain to guard him until he needs the control point or alpha strike anyone who would take it. The extra 5 inch movement due to being light cavalry gives him great maneuverability.
Next is Scarsfell Griffon. I haven't played with it yet but theoretically it can be a good long range option to get a control point since it has leash. Drop forced evolution on it and you have a pretty good defender model. It should be able to handle most everything but an onslaught and retreat so most heavies don't catch it.
Skinwalkers are an excellent screen and control point takers. They are good arm and can't be trampled over. Either put them on a control point and they will be a pain to remove or screen a control point and make it neigh impossible to penetrate. They on average die one per turn then they get a decent amount of damage off. Note these are not a good siege tool.
I also like using the Wolves of Orboras for this purpose. They are a good cheap screen. Then with the UA they get power swell and are very good at taking down a heavy beast or another unit of infantry with ranked attacks/combined attacks. And when used with Morriag they get 4 dice on charge with power swell with their plus 2 mat. And he gets flanking 5 dice on the charge with high MAT.
Cylena Raefyll is a good long range pick off choice. They can keep small based infantry off of control points and can usually take down light beasts and jacks.
Castor wise I would go with eKaya like I said earlier or P/E Krueger. P Krueger has some amazing infantry killing capabilities and you can feat and drop his AOE on a control point to make sure most infantry doesn't take it. His ability to give someone reach and electroleap also adds to your damage output. E Krueger Is amazing with the druids because he can move the entire board around. On certain control point matches he can single handedly feat and win you the game. He is by far the best control point castor we have. When using him I would definitely pick up a WoldWatcher because it casts a spell for 1 fury or a WoldGaurdian who has girded and flesh of clay. He is nigh impossible to deal with unless your opponent sends a heavy killer after it.
I hope this helps. I use this strategy as well and it seems to be effective while all of these castors also offer a decent assassination run attempt. I use eKaya against most Hordes because of her high def and maneuverability and I use the Kruegers against warmachine for disruption and the ability to demolish infantry. I hope that this all helps you.
