On the Horizon, Paul's Carnival of Chaos

There is a new event coming to the New Orleans area, Paul's CoC run by longtime southern vet Chris Saik.  The wife really wants to go to New Orleans and the Texans (who are great to get drunk with) will be there in force, so off we go to worship Paul's CoC!

They are running a watered down version of end times rules and allowing people to select special characters, but with the stipulation that there can be only one allowed at the tournament and you must submit your army to lay claim to them.  I have been hankering to play Orion for a while, so I figured what the hell.  Here is my list:

Orion
Spellsinger L2 Metal, Moonstone
Glade Captain, BSB, Stag, Armor of Destiny, Asrai Spear, Shield
19 Gladeguard, FC, Trueflight, Standard of Swiftness
6 Glade Riders Manner, Musician, Hagbane Arrows
6 Glade Riders Banner Musician, Hagbane Arrows
10 Wildriders, Banner
10 Wildriders, Banner
5 Sisters of the Thorn, Banner, Musician
5 Sisters of the Thorn, Banner, Musician
Eagle

So, no scroll and no Waystalker, but those were needed sacrifices to the comp in place and I really need metal to handle other super characters and knights.  A lot will also depend on if they rule Orion as denying armor saves in CC (most do, but not all), because without that ability I will be playing the evasion game a lot.   The Glade Riders kind of suck but its a needed unit to claim objectives, as only core units with banners can do this.  While ambush is normally a drawback, in the case of this army it will keep them alive late game to nab distant ones.
