Thexus does pretty well against them, hex blasting away upkeeps and spinning them around with TK They can still Trample, shoot, buy up to 3 melee attacks. Hardly a satisfactory answer. Now, TKing them closer to kill them with things because Cephalyx is a little better. Space out some drudges in the area behind it and it's not going to have an easy time finding a landing zone. Just cutting out the precharge spear attacks/impacts/initials helps a lot when you're relying on overwhelming your opponent with bodies (each reiver shot only has a 40.1% chance to kill a decelerated drudge). Also, 3 melee attacks and 3 shots only has a 45.8% chance to kill a wrecker; 20.4% under deceleration.

This model is relatively unique in that there isn't anything that completely shuts it down, but there are still answers that work.

The thing about any counters to them is "First the other 70pts of my army activates....."
