What would be peoples list advice on dealing with Rhulic General Ossrum running double siege crawler double max unit forge guard?

Im contemplating Arkadius with a Sacral Vault of all things, the idea was to use it to shield Arkadius while providing gun support tgat may allow a Caster swing with their own guard, I dont think they will be silly enough to charge it but if they do thats money. I have a feeling its just gonna get siege crawler/artillery'd off the table.

Perhaps some husks to torment the backline.

Thoughts?

I'd lean towards Sturm and Drang, myself. The list will seriously struggle to deal with the Dracodile, and the Dracodile can Blind a Siege Crawler each round to keep them out of the fight. The Observatory Objective could throw a wrench in those plans, but they actually have to play super conservatively if they want to take advantage of it (both Siege Crawlers need to be within 2" of their objective, otherwise you have the option to Blind one and TK it out of range). You can Shield Guard near every Siege Crawler shot off of the Dracodile (virtually guaranteeing that they won't be able to get a Critical Stagger onto it), and the Forge Guard will have a hard time dropping the Dracodile without charge bonuses or access to any damage buffs. Once Ossrum's Feat has dropped one of your Battle Boars should be able to clean its way through most of each unit.

An excellent point about the Dracodile.
Okay so with that in mind it seems that we must ensure its delivery.

A unit of Valks can move independently with Mire to ensure safe passage.
2 Razorboars from S&D should be able to help out as well. The rest I guess is the usual filler with him.

Thx, Az

A 3-4 model battlegroup gives you all the Shield Guards you need Distance and stealth is enough to keep Mire safe, I'd imagine.
