Hi All, I am looking for a list that can be a pair for Denny1 ghost fleet and be less demanding on the clock. Skarre1 is pretty obvious choice - so here is the list Theme: Infernal Machines Pirate Queen Skarre - WJ: +28 - Skarlock Thrall - PC: 0 - Kraken - PC: 36 (Battlegroup Points Used: 28) Aiakos, Scourge of the Meredius - PC: 4 - Stalker - PC: 8 - Stalker - PC: 8 Necrotech - PC: 2 Machine Wraith - PC: 2 Mechanithralls - Leader & 5 Grunts: 6 - Brute Thrall - PC: 2 - Brute Thrall - PC: 2 - Brute Thrall - PC: 2 - Skarlock Commander - PC: 3 Mechanithralls - Leader & 5 Grunts: 6 - Brute Thrall - PC: 2 - Brute Thrall - PC: 2 Soulhunters - Leader & 4 Grunts: 18 Necrosurgeon & Stitch Thralls - Necrosurgeon & 3 Grunts: 0 I just wonder if Kraken is cool with Skarre or maybe more stalkers for assasination threat. I played 1 game so far and boy Dark Guidance is godly on Brutes and Stalkers  . All comments welcome. K. |

Seems good on paper, but I'm hardly an authority on the faction.

I ran this day in a SR with my Coven pairing. Gains HyperAgg. and while some would say its focus starved, its NOT. Necrosurgeons are there for Ritual Sacrifice due to me not owning Scrap Thralls, yet. Played it into Karchev & his seven heavies list. Got the alpha on turn two on four of his seven heavies, with five of mine. More than enough to remove them and left just mechanics, Karchev and two jacks standing there in disbelief. He fought back and rolled hard. Dropped three of my heavies on his turn, although the damage was done and his model count was too low. With losing the three, I played more defensive, and went for scenario. 5-3 on CP's, for the win. It hits like a truck, and was created as my local meta is Extremely Colossal heavy. | Cryx Army - 75 / 75 points

I've used something extremely similar as the OP, and it worked very well.
I also wanted to try this at some point :

I really enjoy skarre1 with infernal machines and there is one part of the list that has been worth it's weight in gold.
Double min soulhunters paired with the ambushing mcthrulls.
These guys are so good as flankers and draw things in range of the ambush. I run one unit down both sides of the board and get pretty consistent results. One unit gets jammed in with the mcthrulls and the other useually ends the game behind the enemies caster charging them at some point.
You could still keep your mass of jacks and add some utility to your game plan

Aiakos, Scourge of the Meredius - PC: 4
- Stalker - PC: 8
- Stalker - PC: 8
Soulhunters - Leader & 2 Grunts: 11
Soulhunters - Leader & 2 Grunts: 11
Mechanithralls - Leader & 5 Grunts: 6
- Brute Thrall - PC: 2
- Brute Thrall - PC: 2
- Brute Thrall - PC: 2
Mechanithralls - Leader & 5 Grunts: 6
- Brute Thrall - PC: 2

I may drop 1 Brute and get necrotech and for 1 point soulhunter.

Played 5 games with Skarre1 and list seems really solid. I played into Caine3 / Issyria to check how it goes against shooting and 6 shieldguards are really golden. I didnt even bother to do ambush as all brute thralls were around caster/kraken.

I share the same experience, Brute Thralls are too precious to be put in Ambush imo.
