What's your opinion on this list :

Tyrant Xerxis (*5pts)
* Bronzeback Titan (10pts)
Cataphract Arcuarii (Leader and 3 Grunts) (5pts)
Cataphract Cetrati (Leader and 5 Grunts) (10pts)
* Tyrant Vorkesh (3pts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)

Total : 25

So Xerxis and pretty much everything can slam in while the PG are managing the BB Titan. Any commentary ?

Never rely on only one beast.

Edit: to expand...

If your Bronzeback dies, Xerxis cannot gain fury without cutting himself. Xerxis is a little less reliant on Fury than most other Warlocks, but he still needs it.

My advice would be to drop the Bronzeback and Vorkesh for a Gladiator and a Savage. IMO Vorkesh is sub-optimal in Xerxis lists because it gives him one less target for his spells. (Vorkesh has spell ward, which blocks both friendly AND enemy spells.)

Otherwise, I think that it's a pretty decent setup.

Agree with the above.
Drop Volkesh, pick up the caster attachment instead who can cast your spells for you, and save Xerxis fury.

Go with the Gladiator + savage OR Krea. Reason: the krea adds to your army buffs indirectly. He works best with lots of models who can base-base each other. I've seen swordsman, immortals, and Karax work very efficently with him due to his rules.

He works really well outside of tier. For the points value, you will struggle to get a really competitive game him, however as the value goes up, and Cetrati are more easily accessible, you can really have some fun with him, as he can charge right through them, then they can charge to form up around him.

You might want to pick up the Tyrant / Standard bearer, they do everything Xerxis does, they also mean if you take a full unit of swordsman, they get even more awesome as Xerxis doesn't have to be front and center the whole game.
