The hellcannon never does enough for me while the dreadquake, causes not only a ton of damage but the dangerous terrain tests is huge against big horde units.

Why the dreadquake mortar over the hellcannon? The only benefit I can see over the hellcannon is if your meta is primarily immune to psych, I wouldn't give your khans armour. Their going to die if they get sneezed on anyway so why would you take away their ability to vanguard? K'daai's are awesome but with virtually every army including dragonbane gems and any HE character being immune to you is he worth it anymore?

I'm sorry I was under the impression the K'daai destroyer was the best monster in the game, That thing has killed more in my army than any other unit.

No chalice seems a missed opportunity and double metal seems a weird choice. Other than that looks really solid.

Yeah I need to get the Chalice in there, I may drop a dreadquake for some upgrades and do some fixes.

Iron Daemon looks like the weak link in the army to me.

I haven't played my CD yet (still putting them together - FW models don't go together very well)

I would think the Rockets would be good ~ stone thrower that moves towards the nearest unit if it misses
I like the Hellcannon better just because of the slightly smaller footprint and less point cost. I see the benefit of having an ogre guard your warmachine and having armor piercing is always good too, so I think both are worth taking.
Iron deamon moves weird and doesn't seem to do a lot of damage for a high point cost. It doesn't shoot well or far enough to justify the points.

I think the Kdai destroyer is fine, you're not going to fail that many tests, you should have leadership 9-10 on the first turn, and really only 1-2 test after that in a game. You want him in combat and don't have to test for frenzy in combat. No One is leading you around the board because we're not playing 7th edition.
I think the character selection is the only thing I would take issue with out of the list besides the iron deamon. lvl2 just don't work that well for me if I face a lvl4 (which I always do) Metal is probably the best lore we have access to, but I would caution you against the new highelves, most of our weapons and magic bounce off of several of their units. You may want to invest in a hobgoblin unit or two, just to slow the enemy down and not get surrounded. You only get parrey to the front.

He only overruns 2d6, after that he can turn and with his wide arch, he ought to be able to pick the next target area. You only overrun if there is something to overrun. If he's being charged, most chaff is going to be destroyed to a man, so nothing to overrun. Look at page 70. If he didn't charge just kille the chaff unit then reform. If he's charging you with big units, most often they will cost decent points and have the opportunity to be run down and lost
