It seems to me that the units that can make the most of Barak-Zon's abilitiy, footnote, and even the Leave No Duardin Behind would be the Skywardens and Endrinriggers as both are the most suited for laying down the combat attack smackdown for the Overlords. Combined with "There's No Reward Without Risk" footnote.

Overall the strategy is very very very aggressive. To fire at the enemy units then charge and mop up.

4x 6 Skywardens.
-Just Skypikes for that 2" attack that's potentially 12 hits each doing D3.

1 x 10 Thunderers
-2x Mortars, 2 Aethercannons.

1 Frigate
-Sky Cannon
-Incredible Self Healing Hull

3x 10 Arkanaught Company
-2x with Skyhooks and Volley Gun
-1x with Skypikes to go in the Frigate.

Arkanaught Admiral
-Aethersped Hammer to get into Combat first.
-Grudgebearer

Aetheric Navigator

AetherKhemist
-To stick around the Thunderers and buff their ranged attacks.

I like the theme of the list. If you're going for casual gaming and theme before efficiensy I say go ahead. But I would go another way if winning and competition are your goals
