I just want to run this list past everyone. For the first time in a long time I am putting raiders in a competive list. Take a look and tell me what you think

Baron

KWx10 + SC = 100

KWx10 + SC = 100

Raider + GT + SR + FF = 95

Raider + GT + SR + FF = 95

KWx5 + blaster = 60

KWx5 + blaster = 60

KWx5 + blaster = 60

KWx5 + blaster = 60

Venom + SC + GT = 70

Venom + SC = 65

Venom + SC = 65

Venom + SC = 65

Reavers + AC + VB = 213

Reavers + AC + VB = 213

Beastmasters x 4 + Kymrea x 10 + Razor flock x 4 = 228

Ravager + FF = 115

Ravager + FF = 115

Ravanger + FF = 115

The grisly trophies on the raiders are for leadership tests for when the raider takes a penetrating shot. The grisly trophies on the venom is there to support the beastpack. Just curious what people think but did venom really get that nerfed. In 6th, the venom got a jink save of 5 anyways but we have FF so I'm not seeing the total problems. Over all what does everyone feel about the list. I don't include allies because I prefer a pure dark eldar list.

The problem with the Venom now means that if you Jink, you're not shooting at maximum firepower.

There is no letter 'n' in Ravager too...

Good catch with the Ravager, fat fingers and iPad. I know if you jink that u don't get ur maximum power but in the last edition u only got the 4+ save if u moved flat out. I mean it's a slight blow but does it really effect the venom that much, just curious.

Also, what do u think of the list. Have any suggestions on making it better?

In the last edition you had to move to get that Jink, and if you want your unit to shoot, you only ha e 5+ protection. Now you don't even need to move to get Jink, which is better as its a 4+ and your guys can still shoot. To me, better

As for the list, not bad. Good mix of shooty and CC, I take it this is the way you like to play?

In terms of recommendations I'd suggest getting some Wyches with Haywire Grenades in there. Haywire really has become a reliable Anti Tank weapon, and best of all our Wyches nolonger die when we roll an explodes (unless against Open-Topped vehicles). Assaulting tanks is fun anyway!
