List seems interesting. It looks like it could do well against some dude swarm and well-rounded lists but I think it might struggle into high ARM.
What do you think you would pair it with?

I'd pair it most likely with Vyros 2 in theme w/ Imp & Helios. Big problem I'm having is that my "PG" swapped to Retribution a few months after I did and he wants the both of us to play different casters. He ended up calling Issy, Kael (Despite me only playing her... But oh well), and Helyanna. This leads me to interesting combinations of lists due to our generalists being "called". And knowing this will come up- the reason he wants us to learn different casters is he wants to start entering team competitions and he doesn't want me to focus time on a caster that I can't play because another team member plays it. (He enjoyed his first year going up to Canada for OTC) Doesn't bug me though- I like playing odd ball casters not everyone plays. |

I played this last night:
War Room Army
Retribution of Scyrah - hug in the shade
Theme: No Theme Selected
75 / 75 Army
Lord Ghyrrshyld, the Forgiven - WJ: +28
- Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker - PC: 4
- Hemera - PC: 16 (Battlegroup Points Used: 16)
- Sphinx - PC: 13 (Battlegroup Points Used: 12)
- Imperatus - PC: 22
Aelyth Vyr, Blade of Nyssor - PC: 5
Priest of Nyssor - PC: 4
Arcanist Mechanik - PC: 2
Arcanist Mechanik - PC: 2
Arcanist Mechanik - PC: 2
Soulless Voidtracer - PC: 2
Ryssovass Defenders - Leader & 9 Grunts: 16
Spears of Scyrah - Leader & 2 Grunts: 9
- Eiryss, Mage Hunter Commander - PC: 6
Against Hexy1 with Keltari, Immortals, a Sentry, a Cannoneer, and some support. Things went really well in the early game; Spears cleared out a big chunk of the Keltari, who were having a lot of trouble killing Ryssovass. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to feat, though with my positioning I'm not sure how much it would have mattered. Then Hexy feated and as it turns out Ryssovass and Spears are much better at killing each other than Keltari and Immortals are at killing either of them. Fortunately my opponent clocked himself during his feat but I was left with Imperatus, the Sphinx, and one Spear (the rest having been RFP'd by the feat so no Reviving). We played it out just to see what happened and I wasn't able to pull out any tech to win.
Arcane Vortex is fantastic. Hexy got to do almost none of what he wanted to do early game and I was able to Hex Blast Death March off of the Keltari through Hemera to clear them out without Vengeance. Ryssovass proved pretty darn hard to kill at 14/15 Tough, and Frost Field on them was a great accuracy buff. Unfortunately I never got the chance to use Revive or Mage Sight, but I cycled Ghost Walk a lot between Spears and Imperatus. I'm not sure heavies is the way you want to go with him though, so next time I'm going to try this:
War Room Army
Retribution of Scyrah - hug in the shade
Theme: No Theme Selected
75 / 75 Army
Lord Ghyrrshyld, the Forgiven - WJ: +28
- Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker - PC: 4

- Chimera - PC: 8
- Griffon - PC: 8

Mage Hunter Assassin - PC: 4
Soulless Voidtracer - PC: 2
Ryssovass Defenders - Leader & 9 Grunts: 16
- Soulless Escort - PC: 1
Spears of Scyrah - Leader & 2 Grunts: 9
- Eiryss, Mage Hunter Commander - PC: 6
Hopefully this well let me spread out the effects of Arcane Vortex and the feat.
