Alright, so my LGS has an expected allies tourney for February (aww, valentines themed) set at 35 points. I've been playing Scaverous in our journeyman league, but wanted to use him without the journeyman restrictions.

Scaverous + 5 WJ points
Scarlock thrall - 2
Deathripper - 4
Nightwretch - 4

Wrong eye & snap jaw - 9

Warwitch siren - 2
Warwitch siren - 2

Bile thralls (min) - 5
Withershadow combine - 5
Croe's cutthroats (min) - 7

I've played with most the elements, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the Croe's at minimum. I miss having a ripjaw as well, since TK plus vice lock can neuter a heavy indefinitely.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't bring Croe's at minimum. It makes Croe himself get taken off the board sooner, and it takes quite a bit of effort to actually get proper mileage out of them so you'll want as many shots to land as possible. If you're playing against Hordes you can reliably take down one or two beasts a turn with a full set. With proper preparation (Feast of Worms and Icy Grip) it becomes that much easier.
