So I wanted to try out Kraye with Double Stormwalls at 35pts. The synergy with his feat, full tilt, and (maybe most of all) guided fire just seem too good to pass up.

My list:
Kraye (-6)
-Stormwall (19)
-Stormwall (19)
3x Stormsmiths (3)

I discuss the list a little more here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/596266.page

Game 1 vs eIrusk
I played against a cool eIrusk army that used a whole bunch of synergy and tricks.

His list:
eIrusk
-Conquest
-Sylys
Great Bears
Tactical Arcanist Corps
-Kapitan Valchev
Doom Reavers
Battle Mechanics 4x

Mission was Destruction, I went first. I run forward first turn, using full tilt to get a Stormwall up the board pretty far. He advanced under smoke, using zephyr to get his TAC forward and tactical supremacy to move them behind their own clouds. My second turn I cast Guided Fire and throw some big guns at Conquest, pinging it slightly. Kraye hides in a forest, which turns out to be a bad idea when he loads up 4 focus on Conquest, pops his feat, and opens up on Kraye with his new found LOS. It fails to kill him, mostly thanks to the main battery missing. He snuggles safe behind his smoke line, but fails to make a wall of bodies. This ends up being his critical mistake, as i manage to get the forward Stormwall in 10'' and the other within 14''. The next turn I cast Guided Fire again, move up and throw a mage sight beacon on Irusk, then proceed to pound him into the dirt with 4 big guns and 4 metal storm shots.

Assassination victory to Kraye.

Game 2 vs eVlad
This was a eVlad tier list that had turned out to have a ton of hitting power.

His list:
eVlad
-Drago
-Wardog
Great Bears
Black Dragon Iron Fang Pikemen 10x
-Black Dragon UA
Ulhan 3x
Ulhan 3x
Ulhan Kovnik Markov

The mission was Outflank. Here the list fails me miserably. He goes first, moves into the zones. I move forward, cast Guided Fire, and pop some big gun shots at Ulhans, 3 misses and one kill. The next turn I'm on the receiving end of 5 feat/Hands of Fate buffed Ulhans who almost destroy one Stormwall, just barely leaving one arm working. My turn I decide to do or die, and pop feat. The unscathed Stormwall gets full tilt and 2 focus, the hurt one gets just 1 focus which he uses to sweep all 5 Ulhans. He rolls rather poorly and fails to kill 3 of them. The other one walks forward and sweeps out Markov and 6 pikemen. Seemed like a lot more damage at the time, but I suppose it was a pretty lackluster feat turn. A stormsmith managed to disrupt Drago, but it doesn't end up mattering because the next turn sees him wreck both colossi during his turn with some pretty good charge damage rolls. I'm forced to abdicate when a final desperate charge by Kraye fails to do more than 4 damage to Vlad.

Take Away:
This army is potentially powerful, with quite a bit of assassination potential against squishier casters, but relies on attrition before getting stuck in. Even Iron Fang pikemen did a respectable amount of damage on the charge. This army screams out for some sort of tar pit of some sort.
