I started playing warmachine about a month ago and im going to my frist turny this weekend and haveing issues with my list. the restriections are 1 solo, 1 uint the rest is warcaster and jacks. so far im thinking of useing

Warwitch Deneghra-76
DeathRipper-38
Deathripper-38
Nightwretch-44
Slayer-110
Cankerworm-75
Pistole Wraith-33

total so far 414 (86pts left)

so im not shure what uint to pick up or drop. any advice would be vary helpful

Min unit of baneknights or banethralls is nice extra for the army. They hit hard when they hit...

other then that I would say if you want to redo the list a bit more add a nightmare instead of the slayer. Much better with deneghra. the pistolwraith could be exchanged by a scarlock then, but I think the wraith will serve this list better. For unit Either min banethralls or baneknights, or for croud-control max biles. Have also seen good things from max mechanithralls (possibly with brutethrall UA!!). Because of deneghra's debuffs they can hit reliably, and do their combostrike for Pow 15 hits, while enemy has reduced DEF and ARM.

good luck with the tourney...

Wow, that's a restrictive tourney. If you're only taking one unit and so are your opponents then it's got to be Bane Knights (Don't worry they're still good in MkII)

Warwitch Deneghra - 76
Leviathan - 125
Cankerworm - 75
Bane Knights (full unit) - 115
Deathripper - 38
Deathripper - 38
Pistol Wraith - 33

500/500

I got 500 points on the nose but I guessed the points costs for Bane Knights and the Leviathan. Leviathans are prety dull in MkII so don't buy one now unless you're rich. Drop a Bane Knight or two if I underestimated costs. If you have Goreshade the Bastard or Asphixious field them instead.

thanks for the advice guys, so i ended up running

Warwitch Deneghra-76
DeathRipper-38
Deathripper-38
Nightwretch-44
Nightmare-110
Cankerworm-75
Pistole Wraith-33
6 bane knights-86

500/500

i lost all 3 games i played but i enjoyed myself and lerned some stuff. so all in all a good day

I've seen it done before. Not really what I like to play, but then I've never had to
face Bane Spam or things like that.

Given that my first choice of unit would be Bane Knights it sems to me that this 'fix' doesn't. Given the timing of the event it would be better to play this as MkII if 'X' spam is the issue.
