In my local meta there has been a huge influx of Grymkin players, including most of the top tier players. It used to be about a 50/50 game for me and then PP released the Clockatrice. Since this model was released I haven't won a single game vs. Grymkin. I have been playing Ossrum in Irregulars with:
Ossrum
3 drillers 2 bashers 4 Spray bunnies Alten Eiryss 1 Ragman
Eillish Mortar Max forge guard
Linus and Edrea
Any tips on which caster might be best into this match up to pair with Ossrum? Or does Ossrum have the tools to deal with it? Any suggestions on how to handle Grymkin with Clocks in Mercs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

To what part? How are you playing into them? Etc? Yeah. Like every game I have played into them just feels like a losing cause and I am not really in the game at all. My last game was the best so far, but still lost pretty handily. Just trying to figure out what might be a good match up to play into them and feel like you actually have a chance.

An important way of beating the chicken is to try to surround it to mitigate it's place effect defense. I'm a fan of kayazy eliminators and their ability to be hyper mobile on the battlefield. A chicken that gets stuck in place gets squashed pretty easily against your melee.
Also, look into your target prioritizing. It's hard to beat grymkin when they get to layer buffs and leverage their 3 arcana per game.
Try to deny corpses via RFP abilities or taking advantage of placement. If something does outside of command range of the death knell, it can't collect it. So consider slams and other movement things to help in this regard. It won't fix your problem entirely, but thinking in this capacity can turn the tide.

Your last matchup went better because your opponent was an imbecile (it was me).
I think this is too big of an ask (but I'm no Merc expert, maybe there is a silver bullet here).
Dreamer running two clocks as part of beast brick is different from The Child running 4+ which is different from The King of Nothing running 2 or 3 in Bump. Worthwhile to narrow it down?

Where are your goals and strategy? I you go into a fight, with no plan for a victory codintion, you are going to lose as a given.

Ossrum with Bashers, Rockrams and Avalanchers + Gaston1 with Buccaneers + Devildogs!
If you dont like dwarfs either version of Magnus with a couple of Renegades works too!

Has anyone actually had any success with devil dogs in LR? They seem like an excellent .... 15 point unit.
