Dear Skorne community,
My fiancée and I have a significant Minions collection between us (she collects Blindwater while I focus on Thornfall). After playing against Morghoul2 with dual Farrow Brigands, I have been talking about it so warmly that I ended up with a Skorne Battlebox and assorted Solos for my birthday (well, I'm sure she will eventually try out the Skorne for herself - although I will be in change of assembly and painting).
I have seen a few threads with ideas for Disciples of Agony lists (thanks very much to everybody who has already shared their experiences, by the way) and will soon try some stuff in friendly games.
It struck me that I will need a dual Disciples of Agony pairing if I plan on attending any tournaments with my limited Skorne collection in the foreseeable future. It seems like it will be fairly easy to build lists which deal with high ARM but I am worried about ranged armies (like Trencher theme, Ossyan) and mass infantry (like more Trenchers or Satyxis).
Have any of you been dabbling with double Disciples as a pairing? If so, what was your thought process and what did you do?
Thanks in advance!

I considered an attrition based list using Xekaar combo'd with Posses and Agonizers. But I think it plays better in with Drake spam instead.
Still, Xekaar's feat is pretty strong for making enemies bounce. Posses end up being effective defense 17 to shooting and ARM 23 vs melee. But the penalty to RAT doesn't come up often because it means the enemy is shooting within 12" of your caster... Ain't going to happen much. Anyway, heres the list:
War Room Army

I don't think there is any issue with a double DoA pairing. I'd suggest making one of the maroghoul2 with a mix of brigands and bloodrunners and beasts. The other could either be naaresh or morghoul1 in a much beast heavier build. For Morghoul1, itonbackbspitters are a good beast to grant competent shooting and then when the lines are meeting, buff them with primal, enrage, and abuse for melee devastation

I'd take a look at both Morg2 and 3 for shooty lists. Being able to use mass blind and other tactics mixed in with a krea and shaman will really stunt your opponents ability to snipe. DoA combines the OP buffs of Skorne with the endless possibilities of Minions. It's true that the vast majority of the casters available are based around assassination tactics, however Naaresh and morg1 can still do good on the beast front. You'll notice how I didn't mention Xekaar x.x he is a caster with unlimited potential and the survivability rate of someone falling off a cliff into a concrete path, head first. If we can get his arm buffed or even something like prowl, he'll become a main staple in skorne. For now, take a look at Agonizers, Basilisk Kreas, Cyclops Shamans, the taskmaster skorne solo, and our beast tamers. For minion players, those are the most important models to be aware of their existence... "imagine your beasts under _____"

Morghoul2 in doa is really good, but morghoul2 is like my favorite warlock do I think he's good with almost everything.
