Menoth Colossal and Ships in the Night

First pretty pictures:
I don't know why they don't have a completed one, clearly if it's being painted then the model has been finalised. Maybe the painting just didn't get finished in time for GENCON but I doubt it.

Ships in the Night:
Tier 1 Army only consists of: Cryx Non-Character Warjacks, Black Ogrun Boarding Party, Revenant units, Skarlock Thall, Warwitch Sirens, Undead solos with 'Jack Marshal (Iron Lich Overseer).
Benefits: Non-character Sea Dog units, Freebooter warjacks, and Mariner warjacks these are now friendly Cryx models.
Tier 2 Army includes 1+ Revenant units
Benefits: Revenant units/models gain advance move.
Tier 3 Army includes 3+ bonejacks with pathfinder or flight.
Benefits: Bonejacks with pathfinder/flight (currently Scavenger and Stalker), gain advance deploy.
Tier 4 Army includes 3+ or more Sea Dog Units
Benefits: Reduces the cost of Sea Dog units.

It's another weird one. No solos for the sea dogs and no Walls (monkey guy - he would make the sea dog unit a character unit). I still don't think it's terrible, the mariner offers you some shooting that cryx really lacks and the freebooter is a 6 point monster against anything that has been knocked down and pretty focus efficient (they run in Skarre's battlegroup). The sea dogs become cryx models so benefit from the feat and Skarre's spells. They'll still tear up most infantry they have just lost their defensive tricks and the ability to tear up heavy infantry. It's not a super competitive list but I think it will work.
