Zaal & Kovaas -Titan Cannoneer -Basalisk Drake Ancestral Guardian Ancestral Guardian Hakaar the Destroyer Extoller Soulward 6 Venator Reivers with UA 10 Nihilators
I'm not sure why Venators are thought of so poorly by the community. 12" gun with POW 10 (11 vs. Medium Base; 12 vs. Large Base!), with CRA, Reform (3" move after activation), and a one-time extra 4" to range seems pretty potent for 7 points!
Nihilators I'll never be without again. They are super awesome and look great.
Extoller helps me with the soul glut turns, and can give one model (Cannoneer) Eyeless Sight and Magical Attack (suck it, Vilmon), has a weak gun attack of his own (unless it's against Mulg), and can hand out his souls to the Guardians.
Cannoneer has a Pow 16 and Pow 15 melee attack, not horrible but MAT5. He carries a big cannon too, with rng 12 pow 15 aoe3, but only RAT4. Animus isn't horrlbe...enemies within 2" are -2 STR.
Drake is a weak little git with a POW 14 SP8 magic attack and animus gives target Bushwack (can move after action).
Has a lot of stand-off and kiting ability with the Venators and Bushwack on the beasties. Decent melee prescence, but nothing that really has a ton of outright punch.
Weakness here is that there's not really much that can use the Rage on Feat turn except the Guardians. But it does pack a lot of shots in, still a lot of souls...not sure if it's really workable though.
Thoughts?

A re-think on this with some of the newer models:
Zaal Titan Cannonneer Cyclops Raider
10 Slingers 10 Karax
2 Ancestral Guardians Haakar the Destroyer! Rawr!! Extoller Soulward Agonizer
16" Pow15 AOE3 Eyeless Sight Magical cannonballs!

Check out the Willbreaker. Puppet strings and ancillary attack, as well as being able to force beasts. Great for the Canoneer.
Venators are much better than Karax, and I didn't think they are poorly retarded. I can't actually think of a good reason to field Karax, unless you already have and like them, which trumps everything else.
