I'm curious to see what non-theme (i.e., Hellmouth and Deathstalker) lists people have been enjoying/finding success with. Feel free to post below.

For the record, I'm pretty sure Deathstalkers are in Ravens of War.
Twins don't have a theme list they like so they're often out of theme to take advantage of the Blightbringer and Hellmouth.
Fyanna2 probably wouldn't mind running out of theme to have access to good units AND beasts.

When I really want to run Hellmouth - I usually go with Vayl1. Chiller really helps out as a MAT fixer and the drags help pull things into Incite range. With that, I take 2 Deathstalkers to help clear out infantry so that the tentacles can hopefully get to something juicy. For beasts, Typhon + Proteus + Seraph load out to really play to this janky movement playstyle and capitalizing on Incite.
Note - if you're looking for the whole Vayl2 + Deathstalker + tentacle archnode longbomb thing, I never got it to work even before it was patched. (as it an actual assassination)

Rhyas1 doesn't really have a theme she likes.

Rhyas1 doesn't really have a theme she likes. I personally like her in Ravens for access to Raptors, Seraphs, and the Protector together. |

Rhyas is strong in ravens, her assignation threat keeps casters back and her force jams super hard in scenario using the standard 40 pt infantry load out. I like to ad the blightblades and ambush the grotesques. |

A legitimate alternative. Though I disagree on the Warspears and to a lesser extent Typhon just about everyone loves him. |

Still running Kryssa out of theme for maximum utility. I've run Fyanna out of theme with dude spam + Blightbringer to be a bit terrifying but I'm still editing it a lot as I can't seem to find exactly what i want out of it. Thagrosh 1 out of theme can be quite fun but it will HOPEFULLY end up being exactly in theme once we get an Ogrun theme to work with (Thagrosh 1, 2x Min warspears + Ua, Blightbringer, Typhon, hellmouth)
I've yet to find any ravens list I actually like... I normally default to CotD if I want infantry; which is 75% of the time.

Though I disagree on the Warspears and to a lesser extent Typhon just about everyone loves him. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Typhon. Less pow than non-characters, way to many points, EH way to easily shut down, being hyped as a spray bot he's too inaccurate, no pathfinder. He never gets any work done worth anything, and it's not for lack of trying. He's in my Thagrosh 2 list and the last game I played my flanking shredder did more dmg to the juggernaut than Typhon did (No I did not buy all my attacks with Typhon. Only 4 total hits from him so as to not deal with 16+ fury on the board.) My Typhon and Naga are definitively cursed. |

Occultation is surprisingly effective on them (I mentioned this on an another thread), and their guns will threaten 17" on dash, which is pretty good. Especially against their prey target. |

Sounds like you and I suffer the same problem (cursed dice). Though, I'm surprised you got so much work out of shredders. Do you mind telling me your playstyle with them? I find I either keep them too far back trying to keep them alive for a flank opportunity, or just end up using them as speed bumps. |
