Sky Serpents, 1750

Just wanted to say I tried proxying a list similar to this when I first got the codex and it went horribly. Be VERY careful with deep striking.

Sliscus and a Trueborn squad of doom, all ruined.

Besides that it is fun to play and I hope it goes well for you.

I don't know how I ended up with just three missiles, that is something that I shall recitify. Sliscus goes with the Trueborn so a fifth is out of the question;

Duh, not sure how I missed that obvious factoid.

Night Shields are on his Venom to stay true to Duke's nature - pimped out.

Understandable

I still haven't taken on Marines or Guard yet with this list, hell I haven't used the Venoms yet, playtest is the aim of the game.

you shold so fine against both with just the few minor tweeks I suggested, I ran 4 trueborn w/ 2 SC 2 cabines and Duke in a venom w/ extra cannon and it houses hordes or MCs, generally in one turn of shooting.

I'm a big believer in just going with whatever you want, for the fun of it and to try different units. Overall, this list is fine to me, I initially had something similar, except Reavers instead of the Razorwing. It worked fine, my lack of experience was a far bigger handicap.

My impressions so far with DE are Flickerfields all the way, I don't spend points on Nightshields. Ditto the Venom Blade instead of an Agoniser. The Stunclaw may be fun, but it's not often you'll get the chance to use it, so spend the points elsewhere perhaps. And I love Hydra Gauntlets so far, but don't take the Shardnet and Impaler at all.

Based on those few changes across the list, you could squeeze out another 5 Warriors in a Venom. If you wanted to.

not a bad list but i think for a tournament you are seriously lacking anti tank if all those raiders plus ravagers have dark lances thats only 10 against guard thats not enough u can fit in atleast 20 at 1750


i generally dont use hellions or the baron i dont think their worth it reaver jetbikes with melta/caltrops n start them in reserve works well

slicus is gd but put him with a bigger unit 9 in a raider 2 SC the rest with shardcarbines works great since his rule doesnt effect the venom u want as many shots at 3+ as possible

i allways take vect n iv combo'd him with sliscus works well jus pricey so i jus take vect now hint hint

id take 2 hydra rather than 1 of each

id add 2 elites 2 units of blaster truborn in venoms they work great

id drop the warriors for the above

wyches give them haywire grenades

raider i think nightsheilds are great especially in tournaments when u can put on the pressure theyll start making mistakes

drop the fighter for another ravager 3 with night sheilds and darklances are great for nailing tanks

finally gd luck
