Ok, so I'm drawing a blank. Build me a list that has at least a 50/50 matchup against these two lists:
I don't mind if it's out of theme.
Strakov2 (legion of Steel) - Marauder - Marauder - Juggernaut Iron Fang Pikemen + UA Iron Fang Pikemen + UA Iron Fang Pikemen + UA Markov Kovnik Great Bears
Vlad 1 - Marauder - Marauder - Marauder - Kodiak - Kodiak Kovnik Joe Min Winterguard Rifle Corps + 3 Rockets Min Winterguard Rifle Corps + 3 Rockets Min Winterguard Rifle Corps + 3 Rockets Winterguard Artillery Winterguard Artillery
Any ideas you have would be hugely appreciated.

It's very janky, but the Doomie2 list that we were all playing before PoD came out seems like a potential solution. Rok+overtake is obviously powerful, then the ability to take feralgeists or gremlins can be a pain for them.

On his feat turn they had a high enough arm so the Pikemen and the great bear officer both survived the spray.
I hear someone bringing Dhunia Knot to reroll the high rolls

I haven't dojoed into this specific pair to say this with full confidence but Madrak2 double fenns looks like it would be fine into this.

4 storm trolls and star crossed will make him cry. I was of the opinion the lightning bounces would do no damage vs the troops in Strakov2.

I am a bad card reader, so can you tell me where on the card it says that?

Good question James. Once the lines of battle ave clashed the electro leaps could get some. The Pyre AoE could be strong but it's a tough game I'd like the play out.
I wonder if your Grissel 2 MK build has game? Discord prevents the IFP charging, the from MK spray will kill IFP and without charging dice -8 is tricky to achieve and you can eat them to snack. The Crescendos aren't very good but her gun will do work on them in spray form. Vs Vlad he has to worry she'll shoot him so he has to play honest and maybe the MK can get the drop on the heavies as they struggle to lever the feat threat, load up the jacks and be in signs and portents without being vulnerable to assassination.
