eGoreshade - 50pts, but the sky is the limit

[Jyggdrasil]

OK, I want to play an optimised 50pt eGoreshade list, and I want (need even) your help crafting it.

Here are the parameters...
~ eGoreshade is the caster
~ 50pt game size

...that is it. Assume I either already have, or will acquire, whatever models are needed to put out the most horrible (for my opponent) eGore list possible. Suggestions gratefully accepted.

Well, I just won my tournament using my wonky & ranged eGoreshade list.

But what does your Meta look like? That'll help getting things off the ground. And horrible as in "awful" or horrible as in "god winning combo"?

[Jyggdrasil]

Sweet - what was in your list?

The local Meta is fairly diverse (both faction and playstyle wise) and skilled. So really not much advice I can give there.

'Horrible' as in 'makes your enemy curl up and cry like the Nightmare's little friend'. Or at least as close to that as eGore can get Banes seem obvious, and I already have 2 full BThralls and 1 full BKnight along with BL Tarty.

Here is my list. Changes to it was the addition of the Overlords.

Better question is what is your playstyle. Do you like using warjacks or infantry. It sounds like you have the Banes for Infantry heavy. Want to get tricky? If the meta is Beat/Warjack heavy, I might suggest Bane Thralls and Bane Knights. Do you want ranged as well or all out melee? How annoying is Haley to you or other factions with excellent ranged lists? Also, what models do you have available?

EDIT: I can read. I swear.

If this is for all comers, the inclusion of the Stalker is awesome. Prevents transferring and the like. Question is if you want range or not, if you want an arc node or not (if not, then do you want the Deathjack vs another Heavy), and if you want to focus in on the feat.

Generally, I tend towards attrition. I figure the more of my opponents models that I kill - while taking acceptable loss - the narrower their range of options will become. Eventually they will be forced into one of the following 3 avenues...

1 - Being unable to meet, or stop me from meeting, the scenario objectives.
2 - Being unable to resist an assassination run
3 - Being forced to open up and attempt an assassination run with a low probability of success.

...and big props for using the Overlords. I just finished painting mine last night

Well...

eGore
-Deathjack
Max Bane Knights
Max Bane Thralls
Max Nyss Hunters
Tartarus
Necrotech
2x PW

You could drop the Necrotech & PW or Darragh for a Nightwretch or Deathripper. Conserve the Deathjack to throw around offensive spells for a bit but let the Banes do the grunt work, then go in for the kill using CoS, Phantom Hunter, and the Deathjack. Darragh bumps speed or -2 Str (so BK's are effective ARM 18). Use him aggressively if you'd like, but not without the army. You have a ranged component that ignores forest, concealment, and cover for Ranged Attacks. Rat 6, POW 10, RNG 12 is cool too. CRA the warcaster/warlock if you'd like.

Reviewing the list, you have CoS and Dark Shroud as armor debuffs. eGore lacks Def debuffs, but Tartarus' Curse gives you +Mat, and the Nyss have the granted CRA's. You have 31 Weapon Master models potentially.

Alternatively, dropping the second PW and Deathjack, you could take a Leviathan or Harrower and an Arc Node (and have points to spend on something else). Or just two or three Arc Nodes and/or a Stalker.

I actually want to try the Nyss with eGore. I don't like using Occultation on the BK's because it reduces the effectiveness I find on their Vengeance, so the Nyss are an awesome 2nd target I think for late game.
