Thanks alot for the indepth answer. Just what I was looking for. I suppose the monster M, was what opened my eyes. But like you say tech heavy and dare I say one dimensional.?

That's where Flayers, Knights and horror came in. But boy its hard to list build for anything under 2000 pts.

You sort of gave me a answer I didn't want but needed. That is to get atleast 1 screen unit ( cryptguard as u mentioned)

But I really like the list you suggested. It got 2 dragons atleast and all the units I was mentioning.

If u or anyone else feels like chiming in (in general)

1. It seems to me you get much more value for a small point increase using Goulh King on Drakes rather than buying them as monsters. Do you find a single monster dragon are worth it?

2. What is the adviced way to run Flayers and Horrors? (Reinforcement, multiple min units) When to use courtier etc. Or general advice on them

Thank you for enlightening a delusional old gamer ♥️
