Looking for opinions on skorne threats and a skill question

[Riozaki]

I was wonder what people though as skornes deadliest infantry units for multi-wound targets. I am currently running Mordikaar with full niliators and full prae swordsman. with hollow on the swordsman I have plenty of jamming power, just not enough killing power to multiwounds models. I am thinking of using the cataphract arcuarii with a cyclops raider and have a full unit of niliators. I was also how the arcuarri combined attack works with drag, do all who participated in the combined ranged get a melee or just the one with no bonuses. Any advice or insight would be great

The way things are now i use the following.

Mordikahar
Gladiator
Archion (thinking of trading for another gladiator)
Rhinodon (may replace with cyclops raider)
Full Niliators
Full Swordsman
min beast handlers
void spirit

try using some range troops venator reivers and ua, two or three teaming up with combine'd attack's should do the trick and with the raider you get to shoot 16" every turn.
I like the archidon but gladiators are just fun or if you want sheer overkill use a bronzeback but to really upset people use tiberion i've used this guy 3 time's now and he's just awsome. move over molik here comes tiberion

I am relatively new so I am curious. I know tiberion has critcal smite. Since the slam is gain from his sword does he still get the +3 from the tusk (effectively making his slam 21)?

Whilst its true venator reivers can use their combined ranged attacks to bring down multi wound infantry if they need to it isn't something they are particularly efficient for. I think you are on the right track looking at cataphracts - both types on the charge can put a significant dent in multi wound infantry. Charging ferox riders and heavy warbeasts (especially with reach) with their ability to boost damage rolls can also do the job - I like a rhinodon with pMorgol, enraged and abused for +4 to damage, which can usually take out a few with boosted thresher attacks.

Tiberion can't add his tusk's +3 strength to his tetsubo smites because hard head only applies to slam power attacks. Although the critical smite ability slams the model hit it isn't the same as making a power attack.
