Starting the new year off again revisiting with Her Hatness. Looks like the last year has given her some more goodies to work with:

NQ - Hunting Wolves T4
Zerkova
Conquest
Vanguard
Vanguard
Greylord Outriders (5)
Kayazy Assasins (6+UA)
Kayazy Eliminators
Kayazy Eliminators
Widowmakers
Widowmaker Marksman
Gorman

Observations so far:

Aleksandra wants to be in the front. I'm experimenting with playing her RIGHT IN THE FRONT for the first one or two turns. Need to see just how IN FRONT she can be without dying. So far I've found that if you put her in the front enough to eat some shots, she should weather fine between her shield guards. I think that her feat turn is a good chance to heal damage, as her feat is crazy good at blunting enemy attacks... especially if you've pinned their fighty infantry in place with Kayazy already.

Infantry dies horribly to AOE. - I don't think anything can be done as all the infantry in Hunting Wolves has crap armor. The list jams decently with the Kayazy against opponents without mass AOE, parry, incorporeal or teleport.
Leans entirely on Conquest to do heavy lifting. He might survive an enemy alphastrike... but don't count on it. If enemy caster has any sort of electroleaping, ashes to ashes, debuff type spells... CAST BANISHING WARD ON THIS MOFO TURN 1 AND UPKEEP IT UNTIL HE IS ALMOST DEAD.
Gorman has been totally useless in the last few games I've played. He doesn't contribute much against Hordes other than lay down that cloud.

Taking recommendations and would like to hear experiences of others.

I'm confused about your comment regarding Gorman and Hordes. Black Oil locks down warbeasts just as heavily as warjacks doesn't it?

You can also use Gorman to defend your Conquest against enemy Gormans. Black Oil him on your turn but after your colossal has activated. Since Oil lasts one round, it will be in place during your opponent's turn so he can't duplicate the effect and it will fade away when your turn comes back up. Conquest doesn't care about the -4 DEF debuff; it wasn't going to dodge anything anyway.

That's a good idea about black oil. I hadn't considered this.
