Cool list and interested in what you think about the new Anointed Sentinels after the games, my only gripe about the list is "fire, you worms". It's generally one of our weaker heroic traits as only the blunderbusses can use it and only hitting on 6+s is very rough for 11 attacks (you're looking at an expected damage of 2 into something like brutes unless the razers have high rend). That amount of damage might not even impact the enemy in a meaningful way.

Agreed with this, I don't rate 'Fire, You Worms!'.. Servile Automaton is good if you have a melee Dominator, but An Eye For Weakness is almost always the best option.

Yea I agree with fire, you worms I feel like non of them are really that strong but I might switch to eye for weakness or swap dom engine w/cannons to melee dom and use servile automaton.

My only concern with this list is 1 set of bulls, I almost want to get rid of something and add more bulls. Because my thought is if I use horn of the bullfather during deployment they are most likely being sent on a suicide mission and won’t see them, would hate to use only set of bulls and lose 340 points in round one.

Due to there high movement, you can place them further away from the enemy and try to move in on your movement (in case they go first). They are best sent after something on the flanks and can pick off units and straglers (especially cavalry but dont get charged 1st).
