Did you already get models and such or are you just thinking about it?

Yeah, I lead with slavers as well. I find slavers to actually be quite the opposite of lackluster with CMA and the ability to grow their unit. But that is just with my experiences though.
I find myself thinking about Thexus and running him with out much infantry. Just to see what its like. Perhaps run 8 Wardens of something to that extent.

I have been looking at Thorn gun mages. They look neat.
To answer your questions, For the most Part I just kinda run through everything. There are normally paths that I can take if I snake through. With deceleration I am not normally too worried about blast damage or anything. I will admit, playing against lists that have models with covering fire will be some of your hardest match ups in this case, but that is what my Ossrum list is for. And my soon to be revamped Cyphon list.

I use the 60 drudge list currently. It is very, very strong. I have used Alexia before and she is also really great in the list, I just chose more drudges for more adrenal flood targets.

Its funny, I have actually gotten so many complaints about the drudge spam, that I am starting convergence to play in pickup games outside of tournament play. They are so violent. Though I have run into three things that have given them issues.
Cygnar with a stormwall and smaller jacks. They all put down those covering fire walls. So sad.
Iron mother and her shrapnel swarm mixed with groundpounder and the battle engine. Scary stuff. (Sadly does ok vs my Ossrum list as well with backlash)
Retribution list with Magister Helynna and Manticores.

Smartalek, I had Cyphon paired with Thexus but just recently began pairing him with Ossrum. Both are awesome, but Ossrum probably works a little bit better as he bring elements that Cephalyx are missing and helps against anti infantry drops.

Figured I would also mention the dominated units I have used with Cyphon and my experiences with them.
Kayazy Eliminators: Two units of these can add 10 extra focus to your battle group for minimal damage. Its pretty awesome, especially if you are going Wrecker heavy. It is also pretty nuts putting blur on them, but watch out for blast damage.
Nyss Hunters: Put blur on them and they become very shooting resistant while also putting out some great fire support of their own. I found them especially useful for clearing out minor troops or solos that people will try to use to block your charge lanes of your monstrosities.
Joane and Herne: So this is my personal favorite thus far. The added fire power is nice, but the special action artillerist is excellent. Use it on a Subduer as its ranged attack is in fact an AOE. So using instigate and artillerist on your feat turn gives you an effective 14" threat range with RAT 8 that you can boost. I have used this for assassination twice now. It is the most salt inducing tactic I have done thus far.
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt: Well, we all know they are good. I normally use this more for enemy infantry as Cyphon's feat kinda takes care of armor cracking. The +2 to damage rolls when shooting enemy units with Nyss hunters, psychic sprays or Emphatic Overload is pretty delicious.
So don't be shy, tell me your thoughts and experiences!

I am using the earthbreaker with my bunnies. I have only played two games with the list so far, but that ARM 23 on feat turn while it sits in the middle of the board blowing everything up is like, biblical level control of the board.

That is the exact Thexus list I have been running in MK3 thus far. it is very very effective and super fun. As far as Cyphon goes, He does work well with what you have there as I have run the monsters and drudges, but if you get a chance and you have the models, try out some dominators and merc units. They can make some very interesting lists that compliment his spells and such very nicely.

The answer is to play Cephalyx. Forever.

Hey y'all, I have been running Cephalyx since they were released. Only recently did I pick up Ossrum to pair with Thexus, but Cyphon will always be lurking in the shadows.
Figured this would be a good place for people to talk about ideas for Cephalyx and/or issues they are running into. <3

I just bought an Ossrum list that had 6 gunners and 2 blasters in it. They are pretty darn great.
