Greetings Everyone,
I've recently been considering getting into 7th edition (having played 4th-6th previously), and have started by purchasing and looking over the DE book.
I've decided to go with a more pirate-theme, and figured I should run the Kabalite Raiding Party formation (which includes a mandatory Archon, Retinue, Incubi, six squads of Warriors/Trueborn, Hellions, and a Ravager). In attempt to make those requirements work, I have come up with the following:
HQ
Archon w/ Huskblade, Shadow Field- 125
Lhaemean x5 in Raider w/ Dark Lance- 110
Elites
Incubi x3 w/ Klaivex in Venom w/ Extra Splinter Cannon- 135
Trueborn x5, Blaster x4 in Venom w/ Extra Splinter Cannon- 190
Troops
Kabalite x5 w/ Blaster x1 in Raider w/ Dark Lance- 115
Kabalite x5 w/ Blaster x1 in Raider w/ Dark Lance- 115
Kabalite x5 w/ Blaster x1 in Venom w/ Extra Splinter Cannon- 120
Kabalite x5 w/ Blaster x1 in Venom w/ Extra Splinter Cannon- 120
Kabalite x5 w/ Blaster x1 in Venom w/ Extra Splinter Cannon- 120
Fast Attack
Scourges x5, HWB x4- 120
Hellions x5- 65
Reavers x6, Cluster Caltrops x2- 126
Heavy Support
Ravager w/ Dark Lance x3, NS- 125
Ravager w/ Dark Lance x3, NS- 125
Ravager w/ Dark Lance x3, NS- 125
ARMY TOTAL- 1836
As you can see, I still have a few points left over. I figure I would run the Archon with either the Incubi or Lhaemeans. I can't think of much to do with the Hellions since they're pretty garbage so I just bought the minimum requirement.
At the moment, this is what I've got going. Let me know if you have any opinions on how this list can perform better.
Thanks!
