Swampmist has asked for the mods to issue themselves a challenge: ask the boards for their most compelling list concepts and then build and play around one.
So, my personal rules: No Ghost Fleet. No Terminus. No Denny1
I get to play one to two games a week, and they are almost always casual level between 35 and 75 points. Let's hear what y'all have.

Gaspy3 Slayer Spam: 3+ Slayers, Canker, a Node or two, some basic support, and then season to taste: it is actually pretty fun and, if played properly, surprisingly effective.

Aiakos2 with WSC, Kraken, Deathjack, and a 'Node.
And two Warwitches to fuel the Kraken, of course.
Go for assassination via charging Kraken with a threat of 17".

I only own 3 slayers so I cannot quite spam it with G3.
I'm liking the aiakos 2 list, just the two jacks puts me to 30 pts so that would be my 75 level

I have been having alot of fun with this list. It has a few different tricks that help into different problems. 1:5-7 armor swing pretty easily, this makes people think twice about heavy spam. 2:cloudwall with breath of corruptions on the Corruptor's and a goreman cloud, the def 15 heavys with mechanics behind them will frustrate gunlines. 3:Backlash shots on enemy jacks put enemy casters in the danger zone of spell assasination. 4:Multiple aoes 2 of which are pow10 not blast damage, just in case someone wants to run dudes, plus the breaths for additional control. 5:Incorporeal models are amazing in scenario play.
All in all the list is fun to play with and against(this is important as I do play alot of ghost fleet), it has many answers and has a few questions to ask. Have fun with it and change it as you see fit.

I have been really trying to get the most out of Mortenabra's interface rule lately and found the Sepulcher to be a great fit with all its powerful guns. Between Deryliss's tune up and up to 8 additional focus, I can blow 1.5 heavies off the table (with decent rolls for initial attacks). So here is my list to try.
Master Necrotech Mortenabra (+24 pts) - Deryliss - Sepulcher -36 - Ripjaw - 7 - Ripjaw - 7 - Shrike - 6 - Shrike - 6 - stalker - 8 - Stalker - 8 Warwitch Siren - 4 Warwitch Siren - 4 Necrotech - 2 Soul trapper - 1 Mechanithralls (min) - 6 Brute Thralls x 2 - 4
Mortenabra hangs out with a necrotech and deryliss around the sepulcher while the shrikes go play independently trampling over everying in your opponents army (no focus needed, can really range around, auto-boosted attack rolls, POW 11's kill any infantry typically). Stalkers flank and eat solos or try to get a line for assassination.
Mechanithralls bring a few cheap shield guards.
The ripjaws can help with armor cracking, spell whipping or just getting in the way. Can be replaced with scavengers if you would rather have them. or drop them and the soul trapper for barathrum.

Came up with this list with an opponent after playing a slightly different version.
Canker and inflictors move forward at hyperspeed and abuse hyperaggressive when possible. The soulhunters are the frontline with Cloak of ash. The mcthralls have some flexibility: if the opponent has guns, they AD and go just behind the soulhunters, with the brutes taking off shots. If the opponent doesn't have much ranged presence, or they skew hard to a side for scenario, the mcthralls ambush. Necrosurgeon picks up a few corpses to keep a few of the thralls going as a backline. ILO/seether is a solid 2nd punch, and has a WWS and fodder to help it's damage output. Darragh makes things faster, then harder to kill.

Okay so dumbest jank idea I had this edition. Cryx is allowed to take Wrong Eye. Wrong Eye is allowed to bring other Warbeasts. Blackhide Wrastlers have Rage as its animus. Rage is super legit, especially if combine with Cryx's other debuffs. However multiple beasts are hard to run under Wrong Eye. Enter Iron Lich Asphyxious. You can use Spectral Leach as Fury management for your beast army, and you bring Parasite for a 6 point armor swing, 8 if you have a Dark Shroud applied, but you typically won't since we aren't running many faction models.

That's right, we're going deep here. We got the Combine & Deathjack meaning a possible 4 Spectral Leaches for Fury management per turn, 6 possible on feat turn. We got Rage + Parasite for that sweet sweet armor swing. We got a possible 4 Breath of Corruption clouds a turn with Combine & Deathjack for cover on the advance vs some Gunlines. And our sweet sweet gator heavies aren't gunna die like Cryx heavies because they got some armor. Say hi to our 12/19 stat line under Star-crossed. You our know this is what you came here for. Enter the Jank Tank!

But wait I here you say, Gators aren't my style. Say no more I got you FAM. Introducing BACON. Because that's right, the Battle Boar has Bezerk & Overtake just like Gerlack & Primal as as animus. Are you ready to go HOG WILD. conflictchamber.com/#b41b0C1w190t7Ffyfyfyfycw0L

This is so janky that I think I'm in love with it.
I must say though, theoretically I like the heavy spam better, the light spam will have much more targets that you will have to Spectral Leech from.
