Welcome to The Dark City!

Regarding the list, I'm going to reserve judgement until they finalize the new FAQs.

A few initial thoughts, though:

1. I'm not a fan of army-wide blasters on kabalite warriors. I feel like it's an inneficient use of points.
2. Same with aethersails. I think our vehicles are plenty fast enough when they flat out(12"deployment + 12" movement + 18" flat out = 42 inches). The table is only 48" across. The extra 6" rarely helps, in my opinion.
3. Haywire blasters on scourges are longer range, and more reliable against vehicles. With scourges relative fragility, I'd go with the longer ranged option. Furthermore, it's cheaper.
4. Grotesques get 33% more deadly when they're outnumbered. Most squads in 40k are 5 man at minimum, so keeping the grots at a squad size of 3+succubus ensures they'll be outnumbered and rampaging.(3 outnumbered Grots actually kill more than 4 grots, believe it or not)

If you decided to follow my advice above, you'd find yourself with exactly 125 points. You can replace the blasters you swapped off the warriors with another triple-lance ravager. Happy Hunting! Wink

Awesome thanks for the advice! We will not be playing with the new FAQ until it become official. I have no idea how I'll play after that lol

I think I will take all of your advice except for the haywire on the scourges. I mainly play a necrons player who uses no vehicles. Would you recommend heat lances over the blasters?

Decided to go with the heat lances over the blasters on the scourges. This allowed me to add a 3x DL Ravager. Thanks for your help!
