With a 20" fell bat fly, it's pretty easy to get more than 3 turns. Fly up 1 " away, and at a 45 degree angle. If he over-runs, he's running across, not at, your army. If he reforms, he only advanced 1". Just do that, again, and again, and again. As I said before, use the chaff to slow him down, then terrorgheists to scream it up.

IGs often have the Flaming banner in there and they will have some Buffs on them more then likely.

Just a thought not sure if if would do good but lets see:

Charge 10 hex wraiths through the unit, (giving the ironguts 10 S5 hits not a lot can survive S5 and he will have to roll high for his saves).

You kill at most two iron cuts which is not alot. and for their pointcost they are not worth it. Also you do not get regen or armor against hexwraiths

Force him to either charge spirit hosts the whole game and expose his flank to a charge from GG. In the meanwhile terrorghiest/magic it to death.
