So, what are people's thoughts on how Alexia works as a Skorne Warlock?
What Beasts and Themes should she be considered in?

At first glance, I have a hard time figuring out her game plan is beyond upkeeping, getting souls, sniping solos with feat, and hoping to turn some living enemy warriors into void spirits. She's got great range on those spells though, especially if she brings a shaman or bone grinders. Themewise, she needs living infantry so the choice is basically between masters of war and winds of death. Banishing ward is great on huge bases, which is a strong argument for winds of death on its own.
[Theme] Winds of Death [Alexia -1] Alexia, Betrayer of Corvis [+27] - Agonizer [6] - Cyclops Raider [9] Snipe for Alexia's handcannon and the shaman ghost shots - Cyclops Shaman [8] Craft talisman can get her void spirit sniping up to 15" range - Cyclops Shaman [8] - Aptimus Marketh [0(5)] a possible second void spirit creation per turn is awesome Extoller Soulward [0(3)] sadly Alexia isn't a gatekeeper, but eyeless sight is great for her solo sniping via spells game plan as is fueling marketh Venator Dakar [0(4)] Paingiver Beast Handlers (min) [5] Venator Reivers (max) [15] - Venator Reiver Officer & Standard [4] Venator Slingers (max) [13] your first hollow target Siege Animantarax [17] Siege Animantarax [17]
[Theme] Masters of War [Alexia -1] Alexia, Betrayer of Corvis [+27] - Archidon [10] - Archidon [10] - Basilisk Krea [7] - Aptimus Marketh [5] Wrong Eye [17] Farrow Valkyries [8] Praetorian Karax (max) [11] Praetorian Swordsmen (max) [13] - Praetorian Swordsman Officer & Standard [4] Praetorian Swordsmen (max) [13] - Praetorian Swordsman Officer & Standard [4] Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer [0(6)] Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer [0(6)] This list skips paingivers, relying on the swordies/snapjaw to do the heavy lifting. Good ranged/magic defenses make the enemy come play under star-crossed; alexia's spell/feat sniping helps cover the weakness of a primarily melee list.

Alexia is not legal in any format other than the narrative leagues right? Or did I get something wrong

The Alternate Warcasters/Warlocks are legal wherever they are not illegal. They are not intended for tournaments, but it's not like people can't make them legal in their own tournaments, so why is that a problem? Is this a tournament-only board/forum all of a sudden?

There's an Alt castor tourney coming up in my area, and Alexia seems really tough to make work. It seems like she wants to play with a despoiler, but that means she can't be played in theme. As stated above, she likes to have a Shaman, but I can't take him in MoW so I can run a unit of Centrati w/ Vorkesh to combo with Banishing ward for extra spell hate.
Any suggestions, or experience would be helpful here.
