Rask lists- theme or no theme

Honestly, while the theme force is strong with him, I'd rather have rorsch and brine, lanyssa, and Orrin midwinter in my lists. That easy 16 inch threat on the pig is stupid good, and the ability to take a good reliable unit like Nyss is also helpful. I can't say that I don't enjoy posse with him, or that I think it's stronger to take him out of theme, but if I'm running posse spam with maelok, I need a more balanced list to pair with and I think rask out of theme fits that.

I'd venture that what the theme gives Rask is significantly more staying power for scenario presence. The additional boxes for the GMP is yuge, 25 to 40 health is a big increase. And having it distributed across 5 models means that they are positionally more difficult to remove than a single heavy.

Only if you brought a ranged beast or skarath, otherwise I'd wage those 4 points are better spent elsewhere.

Ok. So I've been mulling once again. I've been thinking about the lack of infantry in my Rask list, and how best to address this out of theme.
My current list is:

It's a fairly standard Rask list, well designed for taking out enemy heavies, with some good tech in admonition, swamp gobber bellows, and Wrong Eyes star crossed.

What this hasn't dealt with very well is magic attacks linked into assassination- specifically Rask got targeted last game by Tanith who was lowering his defense with the spell affliction. She also had a ranged attack that can lower defence, but I think it's a special case to have a model be able to lower defence in two different ways, so right now I'll focus on the spell denial.

When I've looked at lists in the past, I've taken note that Orin Midwinter is often present, so I added him in, taking out one of the wrastlers.

However, facing circle last night got me to thinking about the armies make up. It's very large base centric, and won't have any problem cracking​ armour. What it will struggle with is lists with any more than a single unit. Although the croaks did an admirable job of breaking a unit of stones and mannequins, and taking out most of a woldwryrd, once that was done they got picked off, and I was left to deal with a full reeves unit with heavies. Once again, Orin will be great at zinging off clumps of units, but I think there needs to be something more substantial.

I own a unit of the shamblers, and have yet to put them on the field. When I looked over my previous list I can see space for an 11 point unit. Even if not great in melee, they can jam like hell and recursion back off the deaths of the croaks.
I had a fiddle, and came back with the below;

Design spec: versatility needed in both heavies and units. Strong denial through Wrong eye, general Rask

My question: do you see viability in this list?

Does it have potential in both scenarios and assassination?
