Modern eHexy

I've always liked eHexy, but as PP decided to see how easy they could make killing infantry he kinda lost his purpose.  Still there are some interesting upcoming releases that make me want to break him out again.

Mostly this is the spitter and the new croak hunter unit.  The spitter makes an excellent arcnode for eH.  It also works rather well with Black Spot.  It should be able to get more work done while staying far safer than the Sentry taken as the more traditional choice.

The croak hunter unit buffs fire damage and is AD in Skorne.  They should combo well with Ashen Veil and the tough/no knockdown PGTM buff.  Randomly Ashes to Ashes is also fire damage and is buffed by their abilities(as are the Incindiarii.)

What I'm currently thinking(broken into handy modules):

eHexeris
->Krea
->BronzeBack
->Gladiator
->Spitter

Fire Frogs
Paingiver Task Master
Incindiarii

Paingiver Beast Handlers
Extoller
Willbreaker
Agonizer

The real secret to this list is being a point over.  It feels very paint by numbers, all very obvious choices above.  The beast section also feels clunky and far too traditionally Skorne, but is the only thing that can handle armor really well.

It also scores a 0 on the Drake scale, insuring it is a bad list. :(
