One list only is very interesting, it rules out a lot of my favourite casters as they have too many bad match ups. I want to go fully painted so I'll try and make a decision about what I am taking early. Options:

Bart-Galleon: A fantastic skew list at 35 points but falls apart if you have multiple options that can take down an ARM 24 colossal i.e. Cryx.

Haley2 Stormwall: Can I really inflict that upon another human being? Yes, yes I can. Interestingly I think this list loses to Bart Galleon but massacres Cryx.

Vayl2 - Purification and the 25" feat assassination is pretty good. Not so good in scenario and I don't think it takes on colossals.

Doomshaper2 - Very fast beast brick. Stacks up very well against colossals, struggles against assassination lists.

Doomshaper1 - Purification and the beast brick. Struggles in scenario but probably has the least bad match ups.

Saeryn - Does not like Gunlines. Though you see a lot of gunlines at super series or higher level competitive play you don't see a lot at. 35 points doesn't help a lot either.

Siege - Excellent assassination list, particularly against colossals. Also does pretty well in scenario.
