So I know most people malign her and there is a small core of loyal followers. Yes, she really needs more +WJ and a tweak to her feat wouldn't go astray. But she does have all the tools to run AC reasonably well and her feat does protect them from a bunch of stuff they don't like. She can also get away without taking Artanas if you want.
I was dabbling around and came up with this:
[Old Witch 1] The Old Witch of Khador [+18]
- Decimator [15]
- Juggernaut [13]
- Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker [4]
Man-O-War Strike Tanker [5]
Man-O-War Strike Tanker [5]
Man-O-War Suppression Tanker [0(6)]
Man-O-War Suppression Tanker [0(6)]
Alexia Ciannor & the Risen [10]
Man-O-War Bombardiers (max) [16]
- Man-O-War Bombardier Officer [5]
Man-O-War Shocktroopers (max) [16]
- Man-O-War Shocktrooper Officer [4]
I should probably fit in a Kovnik now that I look at it. But you have Iron Flesh and Weald Secrets which can do double duty either giving pathfinder when you need it or making the Bombardiers ignore cover and concealment. Alexia is there to help out with scenario and jamming where needed. I dunno, seems pretty legit other than not wanting face hard ARM skew.
I do love me some OW1! I would have to play plenty of games with her to see how she fits in AC. But im not sold, Arm, hunter, and pathfinder might not be enough.
So what I notice on paper. OW1 feat and her own combat prowess fill almost the same purpose as the suppression tankers. So this might be an area where you can squeeze in some points.
OW1 is weird with jacks. Apparition is great, she is a hog with focus, low WJ points, and AC has great selections outside of jacks. I will say decimator is solid with OW1, aiming at 12. With that though, i think limiting the use of jacks on army points is the direction AC heads. I would think about running with solely a spriggan. Fills her WJ all but 1 point. He benefits a lot from apparition, 16" cloud/stealth removal without charge/trample. Spriggan also ensures you get work out of your expensive guns.
OW1 has lots of support, struggles with armor, and is a late game assassination caster. In this she fills a similar role as B3, wanting her army to deliver the caster, get work done independently, and set the caster up for success. AC fills the bill. AC has natural armor cracking and durable models.
Sylys my boy! I've come to the conclusion this guy is everyone's best friend. OW1, focus glutton can keep 2/3 of her upkeeps out for free now. Gallows will hit home more often now without boosting. I think OW1 is home in WGK, but sylys shakes things up a bit for her.
OW1 is going to want her army tramping about beating people up and not dieing while she bounces around clearing infantry, dropping clouds, killing gremlin swarms, setting up charges, and ultimately setting up that sweet sweet assassination. I definitely don't feel like this list is perfect, feels like it's missing something.
I will alsp say that B3 almost just does everything better here. Him and ruin bop incorp models on the head, clear infantry/heavies alike, and throw the enemy caster on the butcher's block. I think OW1 needs to get extreme value out of her 50/50 almost amazing feat.
A bit of wish listing... Swap murder of crows for freezing mist, change feat to apply blind to models that activate in her control (crows peck yer eyes out).
