The idea is to leverage both the Agonizer and WE&SJ's Star Crossed effect in the same list. Essentially, a double skew of Def and Arm. The only Warlocks who help this double skew much are Xerxis1 and Zaadesh2. Im going with Zaadesh2 for this list, as it uses lots of beasts. Xerxis would want Karax and Ferox instead and they just aren't the same thing as an Arm 25 heavy.
Zaadesh2-Clouds stop charges, and debuff enemy mat compounding Star Crossed nicely. He's also able to go without a Gladiator, who doesn't fit into our skews, between his countercharging and alpha absorbtion.
Aradus Sentinel (16)-Mostly here for the Swarm Animus, which adds to the Cloud debuff for Def 15 + SC. Sac pawn battery as well. He's the only ranged presence.
2X Cyclops Brutes (16)-The only thing we have efficiently skewing Def and Arm. Set Defense, Intuition to force attack rerolls, and a shield makes this thing ridiculously hard to kill under Star Crossed, a Cloud, Involiable Resolve, and the Agonizer.
Agonizer (6)- for the -2 Str debuff, obviously.
Tiberion (22)- The lists anchor. Clouds and Star Crossed can't be everywhere at once, and that's where he'll be threatening crit smite countercharges/defensive strikes and being arm 25 once your IR can move off your brute. We need something very killy or otherwise we rely on Snap Jaw too much.
Titan Sentry (15)= Essentially for when the enemy can deal with Tiberion easily forcing them to usually trade down on this guy instead. Ornery, countercharging, and defensive strike can force a lot of costly mistakes from opponents.
Wrong Eye & Snapjaw (17)- For Star Crossed, and independent fury. Star Crossed is very powerful. He goes behind at least one brute, and the Sentinel to hold one flank with obscene Def (and good arm) while the other flank is held with obscene Arm
Min PGBH(5)-We're running a skewy beast brick. Auto include
Max PGBH (7)- We're running ALL beasts. A second unit is often going to be very useful for extra healing. Also, they are very interesting defensive strikers under Zaadesh's feat, shutting down enemy beasts and single wound living infantry handily.
List options- The Sentry could become a Rhinodon, or maybe even disappear along with the extra PGBH for some Ferox.
The extra PGBH could become an Orin Midwinter.
