hordes nightmare

[bulletstorm]

I don't play competitively, only having 2 people that I play on a regular occasion, 1 plays PoM and the other Hordes, at the moment being legion.
Our upcoming games are going to be double caster at around 75 points
I am currently building a storm army (everything with with maybe a few exceptions)
the final list is as follows:

Lord Commander Coleman Stryker
Ol' Rowdy
Lancer

General Adept Nemo
Squire
Thunderhead
Stormclad
Firefly

Stormblades with UA and full gunners
Stormguard full
Storm lances full
Stormsmiths all 3
Storm tower
Major Kateherine Laddermore
Captain Arlan Strangewayes

and against Hordes I am putting in Pendrake for a couple of points over the 75 but is he worth it as the previous times he has been used he has either been sniped by the cavalry or just nommed on by the heavies

I am looking for tips on how to beat an essentially warbeast army with what I have here or maybe some substitutions but keeping with the storm army theme

any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to put in Pendrake don't rely on him to kill the beasts directly. His best use is to give an infantry unit, preferably one with fairly high P+S, an extra die on attacks against beasts for the charge. His other use is to sneak up on a beast and hit it with his bola to knock it down. For the former, keep him behind the infantry you want to buff. For the latter position him conservatively and wait for your opportunity to strike.
