So I played these lists during the weekend and won with denny and lost with gaspy due to a bad call on where to run... During the gaspy game, I ran the biles behind the bloodgorgers and fell short an inch to purge on his caster and a jack. My opponent played two groups of menoth guys (can't really remember which since I'm kind of new). I tried to keep them from having the same models (except BLT). Also, what is a good strategy against Khador's winterguard infantry and their mortar crew?

Any tips to improve these are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You say you are having issues with winterguard, I take it you mean you can't hit them are their defence is so high. So the easy answer is to take stuff that doesn't need to hit, Bile Thralls being the obvious answer. The other thing you can most certainly do with Deneghra1 is cast Crippling Grasp on the unit and thus reduce their speed, defence and stop them from using their sprays (Crippling Grasp stops special attacks, the winterguard sprays are a special attack.)

With Asphyxious2 I would max out the Bane Knights. Having a full sized unit makes vengeance a much better ability. Also you don't really need the warwitch siren in his list currently as the cankerworm gets a free advance if he is within Asphyxious's control area. If it's moving then it's moving 12" a turn, if it's attacking you need more than one focus point.

Other than that you're lists are fine, keep playing and learning the game.

I would try and jam in an arc node into the Gaspy list

Excarnate shenanigans with Bile Thralls improve their threat range dramatically!

This. Also consider sea witches+blood hag to deal with tough. Also, if you're playing steamroller you can't have the same character in more than one list
