I'm still working on my Cryx army but ROS caught my eye tonight and I might take a 35 pt group as my second faction (mainly because I love elves). Any thoughts on the following is greatly appreciated:

Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper 7
Manticore 8
Griffon 4
Chimera 6
Arcanist 1
Mage Hunter Strikeforce (Leader and 9) 8 10
Mage Hunter Commander 2
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution 3
Ghost Sniper 2
Ghost Sniper 2
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Mage Hunter Assasin 2
Saxon Orrik 2

You can't take Orrik I'm pretty sure... Cryx, Khador and Protectorate Only

The other side of the internet

Possibly should be in army lists section of warmahordes... but I'll post a few thoughts on my limited knowledge of Scyrah's inner workings.

You seem to be very solo heavy, and more so, duplicate solo heavy. The solos from Scyrah are very good so this isn't too much of a problem, but it does mean that you are trading out body count. Also as motyak said, Saxon isn't Scyrah legal.

Now for overall, your army is lacking hitting power. Heavy jacks, Khador in particular, are going to be rough on you. Even with the extra die, MHS only averages a 20.5 damage roll from it's ranged weapon and a 19.5 (23 on charge) damage roll from it's melee. Your only heavy hitter jack only hits for 2 damage on average to the typical khador jack without boosting. You have a lot of jack control, but nothing to directly deal with them which can be a big problem when your opponent isn't warjacks, but warbeasts.

Be sure to use logic! Avoid fallacies whenever possible.

I appreciate the advice and I will take the list to the list forums for the next one. I'm just tinkering with the idea of ROS and might change my caster to Ravyn, Eternal Light, drop the orrik, an assassin and a sniper and pick up a unit of invictors perhaps.
