    eSevvy and Grayle (Circle) both have Awareness, which lets the battle group see through clouds.

    Khador also has Spriggans, whose flares lets other models see through clouds, and the Black 13th has a flare ability too.

    The Mage Hunter Strike Force completely ignores LoS and also ignores concealment, making the clouds totally useless.

    1. Please re-format the OP to get rid of the horrible color-coding. It's eye-gouging. I'm guessing the yellow blur is Menoth, but I can't tell.

    2. Anyone with Mage Sight (Seige, Kraye, Sloan, IIRC). Or Windblast (Vlad2, Kruger1 or 2, IIRC). Eyeless sight. Legion, krea, extoller, IIRC. Some stuff that springs to mind.

    He also doesn't like anything that collects souls in closer ranges than he does (mainly Cryx).

    For menoth, Rhoven and Co. Errants can have Hunter.
    For Cygnar, Siege and Kraye have mage sight. Thunderhead's *attack does not require a target or LOS. While Lynch himself cannot see through clouds, he ignores concealment. He can place a 5" AOE shot that will allow anyone to ignore clouds shooting a target inside the AOE. Gun Mage Adept can ignore LOS.
    Skorne has Extoller Soulward which can grant Eyeless Sight to a model. Cyclops Shaman has ghost shot.
    Legion Striders can easily have hunter.

    Hunter does not ignore cloud effects when determining LOS, only Forests. It ignores concealment, but that only works if something is in the cloud.

    If this is a list of "things that the HR doesn't like" then I'd say to add an addendum list of RFP effects. He hates that equally because it neuters his feat.

    Another thing he doesn't like is fast models that can run around his control area and shoot around the clouds.

    correct, my mistake. But, as you pointed out, clouds DO provide concealment...

    Right, but I don't know any HR player that puts his guys in the clouds when he can just put the clouds in front of his guys to block LOS completely.

    updated first post

    list looks good so far guys - as i see it the major nerfs are things that give battlegroup ignore abilities
