I will give them a shot as well. I havent tried any calvary units in a game yet.

Washout's suggestion sounds very good to me, as a Bane Thrall unit without the UA isn't a Bane Thrall unit at all, IMO. If anything, I would rather take Bane Knights than Thralls if you were going to double up on a unit type. I've also never played with cavalry units but I can see the logic in taking them, especially with eGaspy's feat in mind.

You've got the knights and sauce, I'd get Deathjack before I'd get cavalry.

It'll cost more to put in deathjack than it will soulhunters though. The list would take more 'structural damage' from its original form with that, because you'd need to take out more than just the Thralls.

Not saying Deathjack isn't a good idea, but the list will have to be changed more drastically to fit him.

Ive used deathjack in games before and have been impressed by how much damage he can take and still dish out. I will play it both ways, like I said I am building up the list by trial and error.

Played a 26 pnt game for the local league the other day.

Egaspy
Cankerworm
2 x Deathripper
10 bane thralls
UA
Gorman Di Wulfe
Machine Wraith

Again I think the star of this game was eGaspy. His ability to block of sections of the field with 3 inch ended up giving my cankerworm and thralls some massive charges that left CC units dead after only moving to try and gain position on me. Also the synergy with Canker worm means I can charge in after being out of LOS kill or dmg a unit/jack fall back and drop more clouds to keep him safe .... I LOVE IT!

How to use Tar Tar sauce?

Does his bane curse take up his action? if not then why not? how do you tell if an ability uses your action?

Can you charge and use thresher? or does it being a *action negate that?

His bane curse does not take up an action, because it is a "during your activation" ability. Abilities that use your action are either listed as * actions/attacks, or require that you sac something.

You can charge and use thresher, because it is a *attack, if it was a *action, you couldn't.
