Hello Cryxians!
I'm seeking recommendations on army composition/tactics on behalf of my brother in law on what to use against my Warriors of the Old Faith list. Any list (and hopefully suggestions on it's use) are welcome - we don't mind proxying!
For reference, here is my list:
conflictchamber.com/?c2201b_-1FbVm3248fm08n8n3t3B8y2_2v2vdSProtectorate [Theme] Warriors of the Old Faith [Kreoss 3] Intercessor Kreoss [+28] - Fire of Salvation [14] - Templar [15] - War Dog [3] High Exemplar Gravus [8] Manhunter [0(4)] Manhunter [0(4)] Vassal Mechanik [1] Wrack [1] Yuri the Axe [0(5)] Choir of Menoth (min) [4] Exemplar Vengers (max) [20] Exemplar Vengers (max) [20] Flame Bringers (max) [17]
Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I don't think Cryx would need any kind of particular list to play against this. We have ways to tune our hit/damage output well enough to deal with the cavalry. The problem here would be to deal with the alpha, that can dig particularly deep (Vengers with Impact Attacks, Flame Bringers with Side Step).
This is basically an issue that Cryx always needs to deal with against dedicated infantry lists. He'll have to layer his forces to receive your charge without giving up too much in return or use ways to reduce your threat ranges, such as Crippling Grasp or Breath Stealer.
If you're not playing a Steamroller scenario, I highly suggest you do, because it can really affect when and where people commit their forces, which is a good way to draw in opposing models for a good counter attack.
If you want specific suggestions, I think Skarre 1 or Denny 1 will definitely do well, as they always do, and something that can make you struggle hitting the (non-charge) attacks, such as Bane Knights, Satyxis, or Marauders.
What has he been trying so far?

So far, he's just tried Deneghra 1; first Dark Host (although no Wraith Engine) and second Scourge of the Broken Coast (although with just the older stuff, Raiders and Bloodwitches). We don't get in a lot of games, tbh, so it might be a practice thing. We are using Steamroller rules but I think he's hyper-focused on not killboxing himself. The last few games he's actually been up on attrition but gotten too greedy and left me a lane to get at his caster. He's going to try a ranged Denny1 list next, so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks!
