used a list in a MKI list I reported about here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/275922.page

A variation on that list to fit in 35 pts MKII is:
The Witch Coven of Garlghast
- Deathripper
- Deathripper
- Slayer
- Skarlock Thrall
Bane Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Bile Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts)
- 2 Brute Thrall
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls
Pistol Wraith
Warwitch Siren

Some pieces on the list I do not own currently, but I think I will be getting them soon.
I think this list has potential, but I would like your oppinions on it...

I also have a question:
If a GMCA want to target a model with stealth, he can because of "Arcane Precision". What if a model with stealth (a) is standing in front of another model with stealth (b), can the GMCA see through a and see and shoot b?? I ask because I want to know if he can turn this abilitie of and on depending on the needs of the GMCA...

thanks for the answers and opinions...

edit because I submitted too soon...

I'm pretty certain that you ignore _all_ stealth in Mk2. So the GMCA wouldn't be able to see the back rank of stealthed models.

The rule itself states that he ignores stealth, so it would ignore all stealth.

This is a change from Mk1 where ignoring stealth was selective (which was silly).

Thanx for the fast response..

I asked as it came up in a MK1 game, but did not think it changed in MK2. Anyone else have a oppinion on the matter??? (or the list )

I like the list a lot - the only thing I would say is I would always, always, always (always) take pistol wraiths in pairs. On their own, they're relatively vulnerable and a bad roll can really hurt you. As a pair, they're devestating.

That list looks ok, I've not yet been able to build a MkII coven list that I'm 100% happy with, The lists always seem to be too much of a compromise because of the points you have to invest in bonejacks. Last time I fielded them I took the following list (which needs a little work). I wasn't much of a fan of them in MkI because they were dull to play. I could do with more practice with them in MkII.

Witch Coven of Garlghast
Skarlock Thrall
Slayer
Slayer
Deathripper
Deathripper
Bloodgorgers (max)
Bile thralls (min)
Machine Wraith
Necrotech & Scrap Thrall
Bloat Thrall

He has Phantom Seeker. LOS doesn't matter.

But a pair is 6 points. That is more than 10 McThralls or equal to a slayer.

I have found since MkII FT I have only ran a single when I run any.

Too expensive and easy to work around.

@ LordRavurion. Have you considered Nightwretches in place of rippers?

I like the AOE option myself. And they now have bash so can tie up in melee.

I really want to try out the Siren as well.

Some good suggestions here...

The pistolwraith I will keep as a single, because I would lose a brute and a siren to adjust for a second. I also think they are too expensive for what they can do. I use them as a threat and it does well, but once revealed it will die, so it has to do something worth 3 points to me. (keeping a jack from charging can be worth 3 points to me...).

On the bonejacks, I only have 2 rippers and 1 defiler. I will buy a few new chickens if the plastic kit will be multi-use, but until then this is what I will probably use... I almost always run the nodes anyway, or they would be to far of to shoot, so it is not that big of a deal...

@ Mazgier: but that is a special shot, so ghe would not be using snipe.... one or the other...
