I was wondering if anyone had any tips on running something like this/recommendations for future revisions? Have I made an obvious mistake


Pirate Queen Skarre
Deathjack (Allround beatstick)
Skarlock Thrall (mainly to cast ritual sacrifice on the stitch thralls)
Bile Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) (anti high DEF support)
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Brute Thrall
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (As tarpit/hardhitters/allrounders when used in conjunction with Dark Guidance)
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls (Infinite Macthralls? Neat. Oh, and fodder for Skarre's spells/abilities)
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (to help low MAT units hit/utility solo)

Do you think I should work a bokur for Gorman in there. That's an old and fun looking gambit, with one debuffing and the other hitting/taking hits.

At 25 points it often ends up with Skarre herself chasing up the enemy warcaster as their force gets swamped with numbers. With ritual sacrifice she can really spam the focus and overboost attacks with that sword of hers

Feedback is massively appreciated and I'll be sure to have fun with it as its new owner

That's a damn scary list. You don't really have many issues except pathfinder. A wall or forest is going to play havoc with your charges.

Try to get Saxon Orrik in there instead of Gorman and you are golden.

At 35 points I would add in a Bokur and seven Brute Thralls. Use the Bokur to protect against Eiryss (and Rask) and the gun shot that can remove all your focus. The brute thralls are there to ensure that covering fire or similar doesn't wreck your day by stopping the mechanithralls from getting to the heavy you want to destroy.

Thanks

I'll take a peek at Saxon Orrik and will probably try that unit as brutes are some of my favourite miniatures

I would some how figure out a way to get some bane knights in there main reason being sacrificial strike gives you a pow 16 pop feat bam arm 21/pow 21 now then boost being 12 inches away and now the enemy caster if with 12 inches is gonna be taking 30 to 36 points of damage but that's me lol otherwise great list played one like it was fun

That sacrificial strike tactic doesn't work as it states it works off the model's base ARM. So pow 16 only off bane knights. Still, a nice idea none the less.

You might run into some issues with aoe heavy lists, cygnar lists with a thunderhead will vaporize a huge chunk of your list as well as a durgen mad hammer list since he can drop 4 4" AOE shots at 14" away, plus Herne and Jonne landind another 3 3" AOEs, but then you don't really see the two in the same list. Prime Caine might eat this list alive.

If you run into another Cryx army with bile thralls you're in for a bad time, or as mentioned earlier anyone with mass AoE or movement defying things. I can see how swarm lists like this work, but turns would take forever and overall it doesn't seem like much fun to play as or against.

Harbinger and Feora would have a field day with this list. Feora's feat would erase 2/3rds of the army.

Its a scew list for sure, very good against low model count/jack centric armies, very weak against aoe and infantry clearing armies.

Yup, moving many miniatures is something Ive had to get used to, and can get very annoying for an opponent. There are tricks and skills that help, with a bit of thought, practice and googling

AOEs are going to get annoying. Those necrosurgeons will be vital to keep the numbers up.

Do you think soulhunters instead of bile thralls and the extra macthrall unit would be more balanced? They're not as outright deadly nor reliable, but they could harrow enemy artillery and lone gun lines with their second movement as light cavalry and dark guidance would be quite a lynchpin for them

Either way they will be a consideration for expansion

Soul Hunters + Darragh Wraith are your anti control caster deterrant. They have a long threat range, can charge through other models, and hit with a p/s 18 mat 8 with 3 attack dice when you need it. You will need to screen them. Satyxis Raiders are my preferred method. Your enemy will need to focus on them or you go for the double backlash assassination.
Best thing is, even if they deal with all this, you've still got all those McThralls bringing up the rear.
