I've been contemplating some Minions lists. Since Sturm & Drang seems to have a weak following, I figured I'd post him first.
Theme: Thornfall Alliance Sturm & Drang (+28) - Targ (4) - War Hog (15) - War Hog (15) - War Hog (15) - Razor Boar x2 (7) Meat Thresher (16) Meat Thresher (16) Efaarit Scouts (0) Efaarit Scouts (0) Farrow Commandos, full (15)
Approach strategy: Commandos get Polarity Shield on them. They advance in an 'm' formation, leaving space for the two Meat Threshers. The Meat Threshers give the Commandos Concealment, granting them Stealth. This puts 10 un-chargeable, Stealth'd models blocking the way to the meat of the army. Shots at the Meat Threshers can be shunted to Razor Boars (and War Hogs if needed). Deceleration helps with this and keeps the Commandos safe from blast damage.
That should deliver the Meat Threshers and War Hogs safely to the opponent.
Thoughts?

I think Sturm 1 Drang will be better with WWWWF
Bones shrine and soulslave will be great with this caster. You should be replace Commando by an other unit. Valkyries or Dahlia/WrongEyes could be an interesting solution.

I think Sturm 1 Drang will be better with WWFF. Concur. But I would be interested in seeing pics of your games with max Commandos and dual Threshers and how you are able to get the positioning down.

I played S&D with double vaults in WWFF a lot this fall. It did surprisingly well.

I have only run across a handful of Hordes armies that I wouldn't confidently play my S&D list into. It was great in Thornfall and with the changes to meat threshers and the ability to include a mist speaker and soul slave it's even more versatile now. I'm hoping that with a few tweaks, I can play it into Cryx as well, but my meta's Cryx players aren't very experienced so I'm not ready to start throwing the phrase 'Cryx Drop' around yet.
