I'm heading to a local event in the next couple weeks. There is a Cryx player in our meta that likes to run Terminus and a lot of incorporeal models as his list. What would you bring to help fight this? The last time I brought Gunny in Kriel Company I got curb stomped. My main issues are the double cost for spells in the enemy's CR and not having many magical weapons.

My main issues are the double cost for spells in the enemy's CR and not having many magical weapons. Think I must be missing something, what causes spells to cost double?

Not sure what it's called. It's the one where you have to pay double for spells and upkeeps if your in the caster's control range. Edit: the spell is lamentation. Venethrax is the caster

Yeah, Venethrax is phenomenal into trolls. I’m not sure what a ‘standard’ Venethrax list is in the current meta, so it’s hard to give advice. He can’t deal with cloud walls by himself, so Kolgrima can give him a hard time (unless he’s playing in slaughter fleet, so can bring dirge seers). If he’s playing melee battlegroup centric, Grim1 should have good game into him.
Once really useful piece of kit is whelps, as they can stop your beasts from frenzying when he uses his feat.
