hey all , learning the MKII rules now , and i want to start using lich lord venethrax , my question is : how do i use him best , and what jacks /units do i use to support him.
i have Deneghra , 3 little bonejacks , a seether , a slayer , 3 soulhunters , a unit of bane thralls and a pistol wraith in my possession
and i want to keep it undead like , no pirate shizzle... ( that's for later )

Not sure how to play him yet but I'm planning to proxy him (using Lich Lord terminus). I've started to think about list building and so far I have this:

Lich Lord Venethrax -6
Defiler 5
Bile Thralls 5
Warwitch Siren 2
Gorman De Wolfe 2
Withershadow Combine 5

14/XX (one spare warjack point)


The Defiler, Warwitch, Gorman and Bile Thralls are there because they cause corrosion with their attacks, the Defiler is also an arc node and the Warwitch and Gorman have lots of other uses. The Withershadow Combine allow upkeeps to be maintained for free.

Considering he was just spoiled on Thursday, I don't think anybody has enuogh time to say how he plays yet.

But there is a pretty good thread going in the Cryx PP forum.
