Local Game Store is starting a journeyman and I really wanna try out Goreshade1 under dark host by the time it's done.
Was hoping you guys would have ideas on how to go about it since I do have to use Agathia until we got 30 points (adding in 15 points every 2 weeks, themes allowed at 30 points).
I appreciate any feedback since I don't see Gore1 played.

What do you want with him? Jacks or more Banes? Gore2 is typically the bane caster and Gore1 likes a jack brick.

Double check if the organiser is happy with Gore1: his feat skews hard in 0pt - 30 pt games with large battle groups. Might not be nice on newbies.
I think he'd be powerful enough, I'd play with a mix of stalkers and hell jacks. If you're aiming for 0pts might have to be reaper seether or inflictor plus desecrator. If go reaper plus desecrator to give you options for control, though seether desecrator would give some raw power.

Do check with the tourney organizer first; you'll be a holy terror at 30pts. Not just because of the 10pts of banes; soulgate tends to be more valuable with less stuff on the table. Shade1 likes generally likes non-stealth jacks, though stalkers are as good as ever and have particular synergy as darkshoud applicators. Both the battlebox heavies are pretty good with him which is a plus in journeyman, though the deathripper is unneeded. Reaper pull into bane range is nasty. Two basic strategies: assassinate with ghostly models, or apply your 48pt army to the face of your opponents' 30-35pt army.
If I were making lists...
Shade30pts
-Slayer
-Reaper
-Deathripper
-Light jack of choice; Scavenger or Stalker (drop the soultrapper) are recommended
Max Bane Riders
Tartarus
Machine Wraith
Scrap Thralls+Soul Trapper (<soulgate targets)
Agathia 15pt: You'll need some banes in wk2 to be able to hit 20pts and drizzle your banes with free tartar sauce. Agathia doesn't support many of them well though
Min riders
Machine Wraith (hilarious in small games)
Soul Trapper (or play a point down depend on wk3 jack choice)
If you don't have riders but have two warrior units, minwarriors+support models wk1 expanding to a full unit+ua wk2 is a viable option as well.

But by the feedback I'm starting to see Dark host is not a good idea, a more jacks is what I need to look into. Does Gore1 have preferred jacks? Seether seems solid and maybe reaper/deathjack combo. Organizer seems to be ok with him at 30 points which is when I could switch caster. Thanks for feedback guys |

There is nothing wrong with running a jack heavy DH list. Only pre-req I can see is getting enough points for BLT.
Id say go for it if that what is interesting to you. It wont be a bad list and you can build theme lists with out the "3 free models."
Run DH with Gore 1. Get your free BLT. It WILL work and WILL be effective.
