How does this list look? I am a little worried because it has a fair bit of support but they bring decent pow shooting especially after the debuffs. I plan on pairing this with something that deals with heavier armor. (most likely skarre1)

I am speaking with limited experience, since I only have about a dozen games with my Broken Coast army, but the only thing that worries me is the total lack of any heavy warjacks in the list.
Even infantry heavy armies are capable of stacking their ARM to impressive levels that may be a bit too hard to crack for the Gunslingers. I ran across that in my last game with a unit of Blighted Nyss Legionnaires under their mini-feat, and with Iron Flesh. They were too far away for my Blood Hag to get to and dispel Iron Flesh, I had already used Deneghra1's feat, and needed Crippling Grasp to go on the Blightbringer they brought. It left my Gunslingers totally worthless for that turn, but my two Seethers and Reaper were able to put me into a great position that turn.

In fairness, you don't really bring the Gunslingers for ARM cracking, they're there for solo troubleshooting and opportunistic grunt sniping. Further, because of the list-pairing dynamic of the game, you wouldn't drop Scourge into PT. That'd be Dark Host's job. A Scourge list can function perfectly well without heavy jacks, and Denny1 has enough ARM debuffs between Parasite/Crippling Grasp/Withering to deal with the levels of armour that you'd typically face in Scourge drop opposition. OP: For the most part, it looks pretty good, though I wonder about double Stalkers with Denny, not a criticism, just given me something new to think about(!) |

I have just been dropping my Scourge lists into everything as an experiment, to test out the good and bad matchups. So my opinion is slightly skewed. |

Very true. I have just been dropping my Scourge lists into everything as an experiment, to test out the good and bad matchups. So my opinion is slightly skewed. No worries, part of the learning experience with lists is coming to know what they're good into and what they aren't and why. When you come round to going to Steamrollers, you'll have your Scourge list down pat and have an off list that covers all your weaknesses (and often with a bit of overlap). But I do think it's good to play your Scourge list lots, 'cos you learn a great deal about it at the end of the day, irrespective of result, and once you get more experience, you'll be able to look at an enemy army and know exactly how easily/well the girls can bring it down, the specificity coming with experience. Though I'm an old (more middle-aged, I guess) hand at the game, I'm a noob playing with Cryx (not against, fortunately... or unfortunately as the case may be), so I'll be walking a similar path, soon! Out and out fluffy Skarre & Satyxis, then something more substantial when I join the local meta's SR series. |

Thanks everyone! This is just where I was starting, I would indeed drop dark host into armor. However, I do think scourge should be ok with Denny’s debuffs into medium armor.
