All I've found that works consistently are infantry skewy lists (most DH / WH builds with decent casters work) or Una2 CotW. It's often quite list chickeny though.

LoS blocking
Mobility helps Amon's jacks, but crusader and dervish spam walking threat is 8" on a dervish (before sidesteps) and 7" on a crusader. If you can position models such that Amon's BG does not have LoS to you, but you can charge it once positioned, you'll have the upper hand. Una can do it with scarsfells because they have Tracker. Assuming you can use the terrain, or you play out of theme for sentry stones, you can accomplish this. BUt be careful with birds. Dervishes are MAT7, so it's nt hard to use a few to build Synergy boosting a to-hit with just Power Up. The end of the chain is MAT10 dervishes and MAT9 crusaders, which can easily hit birds unboosted. ith Battle, they can hit at PS18 (22 combo), or PS23 for crusaders, respectively. So if they can lay hands on your birds, they can easily blow holes in them.
Wurmwood is also a potential, in that he can accomplish LOS blocking to allow positioning for any alpha.
You can dudeswarm, but Amon might have idrians in CM, and between shots and jack swings might be able to unjam and attrition you down over the game.

Pretty sure I have no clue what I'm talking about, but wouldn't a Krueger list in bones with wardens and Wyrds work?

Basically nothing else in Bones is, Choir make the jacks untargettable by spells and the Covenant walks around saying no spells in a 10" Bubble. |

See, no menoth players want to do 50 point games so I have no clue...But Wyrds and Covenant seems like a matchup that would be painful, oh hey warlocks are useless for a bit |
