So The idea revolves around being pretty well protected T1 from an alhpa strike list that would be able to take down the Talos in a round of shooting (looking at you grav spam). if the opponent doesn't have anything I am worried about I can scout the talos forward as usual, if they do then I can have everything on the pad and be pretty well protected. It will get set up in the middle of the table and the scourges will just camp on it. I'll use it as a base of operations from where I can move and assault from it as needed. 4++ on things in the pad will really help out my army from ignores cover and since everything on the pad has a 36" range then I basically own the middle of the table.

132 poison at 36 (up to 172 at 12" with warriors)
13 dark lance shots

And one of the best anvils in the game (if not the best anvil)

Assuming I can get the talos into combat I should have no problem winning secondary (ITC Rules) and I should be able to focus on primary pretty well.

That looks pretty darn strong. You have a warlord that is going in one of the venoms I assume? Or will he just sit and hide on the skyshield?

Your problem will be flyer heavy lists. You have no real answers to three flyrants and two hive crones or to daemon flying circus. Otherwise it seems solid. Eight ObSec units should be pretty good.

Yea you are right, Here's an alternative list tell me what you think.

(Thanks Duck,Unorthodoxy)

Lookin sharp

I would definitely drop one Ichor Injector for a Sybarite/Warlord (and then sit that Talos up front to get shot first anyway).

Edit: Also Razorwings can't use the "Ready for Takeoff" rule from the skyshield, only works for flyers that hover.
