SR2012 Tournament Lists 50pts + 10pts Reinforcements

[Umhseht]

So I have a tournament coming up this Sunday and I have been playing around with some lists trying to find something that will be fun to play but also somewhat competitive. The only other problem is that I usually only play Cryx so I'm not really sure what will work against other factions that will pop up in the tourney. So on with the lists.

eMadrak + 5
Mulg - 12
Impaler - 5
Runebearer - 2

Fellcaller - 3
Fellcaller - 3
MAX Krielstone - 4
Stone Scribe Elder - 1
MAX Burrowers - 6
MAX Fennblades - 8
Officer & Drummer - 2
War Wagon - 9

Reinforcements:
MAX Champions - 10

Borka + 5
Mauler - 9
Mauler - 9

Fellcaller - 3
Jannissa - 3
MAX Krielstone - 4
Stone Scribe Elder - 1
MAX Kriel Warriors - 6
Standard Bearer & Piper - 2
Stone Scribe Chronicler - 2
Champion Hero - 3
MAX Champions - 10
Skaldi - 3

Reinforcements:
Earthborn - 10

So Im using the Borka lists a brick and the eMadrak list is there to hit really hard but as I only really ever play Cryx I'm not sure how these lists will do.

Other models I have are:
Axer
Bomber
Blitzer
Rok
Pyre
Bouncer
MIN Longriders
Horthol
1 Caber Thrower

Any advice on how I might change my lists or use them effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

First off, thank you for not taking longriders. They get too much credit on the forums. I have not seen them perform in any game changing fashion in any games I play or have watched played (I am gonna catch a lot of flak for that). That being said, Madrak, in either form, is my favorite 'lock. Your list for his "Hi how are you? SMASH, You're dead." version seems pretty well thought. Just remember to work in waves and that the war wagon has cavalry rules (i.e. ride by attacks). As far as Borka goes, I do not like him (so much flak). Don't get me wrong, he performs very well. You seem to have come up with a decent brick list for him. Personally I do not double up on beasts. It limits my animus casting options. You may consider dropping a Mauler and making the KSB unit a min unit and then adding the Pyre + Axer. Thresher is great for infantry removal, rush is always nice to improve that mauler's threat range and fire can make skaldi's counter charge hit that much harder. Just my thoughts.

No flak to be given...just pointing out I started playing Cav just a couple weeks ago. They have given me and my opponents a lot to think about. 2/3 times I have gotten them on the caster for knockdowns. Followed up with boosted Bomber damage and have given me wins those times. That being said, I do NOT include them all the time, just trying them out and learning the rules for them.
I do agree about the point of not doubling up on Animus', plus it allows you to keep the one you really want further back with the warlock for transfers or interceptions/blocking.
I haven't played Borka yet...but with the first list, consider dropping one Fell Caller and adding Chronicler + Gobbers or Feralgeist? That being said, it takes me a few weeks to play test a list and fine tune it. I have began taking notes in a notebook so I can write things down during or after the game so I can justify, to myself, why I make the changes I do.

Woaaah! Hang on... You play against cryx alot? Well brutha, you needs grim angus no doubt. I too play cryx alot, and hes very good. I dont know what your facing but if stealth is a factor(or incoporeal), grim is the best. Great solo hunter, which are usually what u wanna kill vs, cryx. If you had him id takem and choose borka or madrak for your face smash list

So how did the tournament go? I'm interested in seeing how you went with the lists and what matchups you had to go against. How does the wagon go with EMaddy?
