A menoth list to beat cryx? (35pts)

[yastobaal]

At our local we are currently playing in a journeyman league and just hitting the 35pts, free choice segment. I've brought along a new player who is borrowing Menoth from me whilst he gets some cygnar together. Unfortunately he's having issues with my cryx and has asked in another forum about what to take. As this is a bit more travelled could somebody suggest a list from this:

Warcasters:

Feora 1+2
Kreoss 1+2
Amon
Reznik

Warjacks:

Crusader
multi-jack (Crusader, Templar, Vanquisher)
Reckoner
Fire of Salvation
Scourge of Heresy
Dervish
Devout
Redeemer
Repenter
Revenger

Solos:

Errant Seneschal
Gravus
Exemplar Seneschal
Covenant
2x Vassal Mechanik
Vassal of Menoth
hirophant
Wracks

Units:

Choir (min)
Daughters
Deliverer sunburst crew
Bastions
Errants (min) + UA
Idrians (min) + UA
2x Knights Exemplar
Visgoth Rhoven

Mercs:

Eiryss1
Gorman di Wulfe
Madelyn Corbeau
Orin Midwinter
Rupert Carvolo
Saxon Orrik
Croe's Cutthroats (max)
Devil dogs (min)
Forge guard (lots)


To deal with:

Asphyxious1
Cankerworm
3x slayer
skarlock thrall
(Mechanithralls (max) + 1 Brute thrall) x 2
Necrosurgeon x2
Necrotech x3

or

Deneghra1
2x Nightwretch
Skarlock Thrall
Blackbane's Ghost Raiders (max)
Nyss Hunters (max)
2x Pistol Wraith
2x Warwitch Siren
Necrotech

First suggestion for dealing with cryx would be vanquisher+vassal.

Cryx tends to like infantry spam and/or lightjack spam. vanquisher+vassal can put a serious hurt on those.

My suggestion for him to try would be:
Feora2 +6
Redeemer (bonded) 6
vanquisher 8
Repenter 4
choir (min) 2
vassal 2
bastions (full) 8
wracks 1

For the final 10 points, if he can get his hands on another vassal, TFG (full) and reclaimer, that would be ideal. This gives you a great tarpit unit to stand behind and light everything on fire. And Bastions with ignite as your countercharge unit can wreck anything that gets near. Reclaimer will help keep those jacks well fed.

If he can't, then i would go with Heirophant, corbeau, eiyrss, exemplar senny. These don't really help your list specifically, they are just really good models. Corbeau can help get your caster out of tight situations or line up a charge lane for something. Senny + eiyrss can make a jack worthless for a round. Heirophant will help her move ignite around.

i think a big part of it will be running the book. covenant is awesome for shutting down any magic heavy army.
