How do we deal with Ossurm Bunny Ranch?

Venator Slingers are the natural predators for light warjack spam.

They lend themselves to a perfectly serviceable theme force in Winds of Death. Free wall and solos is nice.

They are cheap enough to be considered expendable, or cheap enough that overloading on them still leaves good amounts of room in your list.

Arcing Fire allows them to be screened, and they eat up high-arm single wound infantry.

Unfortunately, you'd have to run 3 max units of Slingers to counter this extreme of a skew. This many Slingers would be terrible against anything other than light jack spam and high-arm infantry spam. A warlock on the ADR roster would help mitigate this. Another drawback is that Slingers are very much waiting for the Dakar to come out. He is convention released, but not general released. The Dakar upping their Rat and being good on his own would let the Slingers be better against regular infantry instead of just high-arm infantry, as well as just being more efficient at what they're already good against.

I'd go with Rasheth to make the Slingers fantastically efficient at killing bunnies on feat turn. However, he is very weak to their boosted shots. Krea, Hydra, and multiple shield guards might be enough, might not. Xerxis2 also has a great feat for letting the Slingers just go wild for a turn killing bunnies. He does nothing else for them, though, and again he is very weak to skewy gunlines.

You could heavily go anti ranged with Makeda1 and shield guarding scarabs. Kelts and Karax have good ranged defense as well with blade shield and girded.

I've played into a less extreme version of this, but it wouldn't have changed anything. Arm21+ aren't bothered by bunnies at all. That's Titans + Krea. Xerxis is also their natural predator. Fast, hard hitting, armored. Put a Rhinodon in his list and he's more or less immune to Bunnies as long as he puts up Spiny Growth and keeps Krea around. Add Hydra or Tibbs to taste...

I'll disagree about slingers though. Their armor is too high to quickly kill them off and you'll lose more than a unit per turn while you'll be lucky to take off 2 in return.

Looks like only the heavies should get reposition.  Unless my source is wrong I don't have merc warroom.

It's a much better list out of theme IMO. Aiyana & Holt, Rust Bombs, even Ragman help it climb over heavy armor. Pairs pretty well with the Artillery Corp too.

In general, high armour will leave them without much to do, and any damage that gets through their armour will cripple something. They also really hate being jammed, as then they just have the mighty POW 6 shin kick. Yes, Ossrum can give them Bulldoze, but that's still a third of his focus, and it can be thwarted with immovable models, or by simply running a random Beast Handler behind the engaging model to wedge it in place.

Xerxis2 with 2 Mammoths, a Krea, and Support. Done.
