I tried the Battle wagons w/ nobs in a Kult Det but he stays away from cover
and uses the whirlwinds to put BMs on em when I hid. Tried mixing in the
speedstas with the special weapons but as SHW can pick out the tgt unit he
went for them first. Tried the Gargant (we are playing at about 800 pts as
that is all we have painted ) he shot it to bits. Tried lots of little
dets... tried one big det.... My next scheme is to try a Chaos arty ally det.
 Last resort is Chaos SM with <<shudder>> my own LRs.
