Tons of wave serpents, with some dire avengers and maybe a couple of guardian squds backed up by a cheap spirit seer and either crimson hunters or fire prisms(preference). Easily fits into a 1500-2k list.

Knocking Penetrating hits down to Glances then getting a 4+ jink save ended up giving his Serpents a lot longer life span than I expected.Col.

It's a shame most books seem to have their auto-includes and auto-dont's. Even the God-Emperor Kelly himself has got his internal balance slightly off.
