The slicks and 2 of the myrms were in bounty hunters, the rest in battle regiment. 
Went against a sylvaneth list and was able to pull a win, but that was due to opponent needing to go because it was late. I was definitely in a strong position without losing any units yet, but a myrm squad down to 1, but denied battle tactics by rallying my slicks back up to 3 models. 

Durthu with a lot of attacks came in, got debuffed by glutos and failed to kill sigvald which left him trapped. 

Sylvaneth player also lost some kurnoth and sword bug riders. I held a flank and center pretty strongly. Wish I got to playu the rest of it. 

I came up with this exact same list the other night and will likely be playing it a week from now but with the army being Lurid Haze for the Seekers and Sigvald. If you get another game in with it you should update us on what works and what doesn't. I'm concerned about the lack of speed and punch with so many Painbringer units on the field.

Hi all, I was wondering endless spells are looking the best for us at the moment? I have all of them and am trying to pick from a few stand-out examples I have seen here.

- Lifeswarm, On Glutos surrounded by a block of 10 Painbringers I feel this could be really good, with the side effect that 1-2 rolls do nothing. However, a roll of 3 could heal 1 wound and bring back a whole Painbringer so. 

-Geminids, Cast through your own army for that precious precious DP

-Purple Sun, it's the meta 

-Gnashing Jaws, With Glutos' warscroll spell stating it halves the move characteristic is it wrong for me to think this could absolutely nuke whatever unit it's thrown at if Glutos gets both spells off? 

- Mesmerizing Mirror, With blissbarb shooting I feel keeping a unit back a whole turn, or doing the D3, could be helpful. Seems weak compared to others on this list. 

-Dreadful Visage, With the lack of fight first or last abilities in recent tomes giving a unit fight last could be huge to let multiple units neuter an an enemy unit then let them strike back with whatever models they have left for maximum DP generation.

Would love to hear some thoughts as I love endless spells, I'm particularly interested in thoughts on Lifeswarm and Gnashing Jaws.
