I'm getting back into WH and WH40k and plan on building the list I always planned on doing, I loved the tactical usage and advantage of gunboats and I actually like new reavers as a melee entanglement. Here's the list, I'm using a Realspace Raider Detachment with 2,000pt
HQ;
Archon - Shadowfield, Armour of Misery, Soultrap, Agoniser
Elite:
Trueborne Boat
- 7x Kabalite Trueborne
- 2x Kabalite Trueborne w/ Splinter Cannon
- Raider w/ Nightshield and Splinter Racks
Troop:
4x Gunboats
- 9x Kabalite Warriors
- 1x Kabalite Warrior w/ Splinter Cannon
- Raider w/ Nightshield and Splinter Racks
Fast Attack:
Scourge
- 4x Scourges w/ Dark Lances
- 1x Scourge
x2 HWB Scourge
- 4x Scourge w/ Haywire Blasters
- 1x Scourge
x2 Reavers
- 4x Reavers
- 2x Reavers w/ Caltrops
Heavy Support
2x Ravagers w/ 3 Dark Lances and Nightshields
--------------------------------------------------------
The total comes to 2001pts the general tactic is to place onto field the Reavers, Ravagers, and Dark Lance scourges. That gives me 10 DL shots at the beginning, and Reavers to begin outflanking. The gunboats are going to come in on turn 2 to tear up the enemy, most often always jinking. I'm just getting back into WH40k and am wondering how well this list will hold up.
