Well as promised I did manage to play Xerxis this week. However, we ended up playing 750 not 500. The list I played:
Xerxis
Krea
Shaman
6 Cetrati
6 Cetrati
Bloodrunners
Master Tormentor
4 Ferox
Rhadeim
Orin Midwinter
Void Spirit
Tyrant Commander
He played eSorcha. The game was pretty much a blow out. The first turn the tormentor charges and kills his widow maker unit leader. She appears behind Yuri and a manhunter doing some damage to yuri. Xerxis activates and puts merciless assault on the bloodrunner who proceed to mop up yuri and the manhunter as well as a widow maker. I pin down his caster by killing a greylord and popping up in her back arc while she has boundless charge. Orin keeps her from going crazy by Nulling the field. Rhadeim tears up a jack.
From here things get worse for him. The combination of speed, pathfinder, and heavy armor is too much for him. The game ends with his mortar crew engaged and alone as the last models on the field. I lose the blood runners and the tormentor….
Im very happy with the list and believe i am close to getting an optimum list for my style of play. Im always unhappy to see a lonely void spirit but cannot think of anything to change him into. He hits so hard against hordes like 5 dice hard on the feat turn:) Xerxis is a caster I feel can survive with the two tough beasts. I dont miss the savage i had in their originally. I have experimented with different setups involving cannoneers and karn. I found they were too damn expensive and I already had more then enough hard hitters.

I also played a 1111 game. I used:
Mordikaar
Molik Karn
3 ferox
Rhadeim
against an old witch list
Basically I played very aggressively and used the feat to cover up. This was my first time playing Rhadeim and he was absolutely amazing. Rolling dice plus 4 against Khador jacks is absolutely awesome. This is a great setup and I will probably run it at Warmachine Weekend.
Last I played a Hardcore match against the Old Witch. It was a nail biter but Emorg hates losing so he did’nt.
I lost Rhadeim before he could get the mounted charge off which was a little sad. His commander ability was still fantastic.
That is all I have this time. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to see something discussed. Next on the chopping block will be my Bayou Wars hardcore list and list choices.
