I've just bought a Wraith Engine and I'm still putting it together. Does anyone know any interesting synergies, combos or themes that I could use in my army lists.

All the better if they use models that don't normally get much table time.

Ok. Blackbane's Ghost Raiders don't get much love on the battlefield so improving their armour helps greatly, but there aren't many magical AOEs so that's slightly corner case. Deneghra2 can also go incorporeal so that can help her survive what is thrown at her.

Where the real money is with Skarre1. +5 strength and armour is great, not having to boost to hit is massive and Skarre gets a nice large base to hide behind. Add in Blackbanes and whatever else you like to season the mixture, as long as it's a Skarlock and some Ritual Sacrifice targets.

Thanks. I have six Blackbane's and it would be a good excuse to expand then and get them on the table. I saw a nice pSkarre list featuring two Wraith Engines along with Satyxis Blood Witches who can also go incorporeal (thou I don't won any nor a second Wraith Engine).

I was also thinking of fielding it with Asphixious3 with +2 to hit and +2 to damage, though he interacts badly with Vociferon's Soul Token storing abilities. As well there's Skarre2 as she can give him +2 ARM and can neutralise threats against it with her Feat.

Pistol Wraiths may also be a good combination with the Wraith Engine, gaining +2 ARM and preventing charges/clearing charge lanes. Again Soul Token clash may be an issue.

I've heard of the strategy of casting Hellmouth on the Wraith Engine for the 3 inch pull effect and then killing everything. I think Asphyxious2 has that spell?

Hellmouth is eDenny.
