The Plan:
2 filled, 4 empty Raiders start on board. Drop WWPs ASAP, start Tank Shocking stuff. Then unleash Wych/Talos hell.

I like it, I played around with some stuff like this trying to get a competitive WWP build. I'm still not sure if it's the smart play, but the extra opening fire capabilities with lances are pretty solid.

Basically you'll still crumble to most gunline, but will be in a good position to hurt most other lists.
The one thing I would say, is I think Baron Sathypants is pretty vital for WWP because turn 1 is so vital for them - but if you work him in you end up needing Beasts in the portal as well, and it will shift up what you're doing (welcome to my roadblock when I tried this )

Those are my thoughts.

Hellcrap. I was kind of counting on the other Raiders and the Reavers to shield the 2 main assault boats if the roll went awry. Wouldn't be against dropping the Reavers though. Maybe when I join up Sathy with some WWP Wyches instead...

You could join him to Wyches without much issue.

Sheilding the WWP Raiders would only work against opponents who didn't understand what was going on, in my opinion. Usually those are not tough opponents to beat anyway.

Alright! Here's the second draft. I have indeed included Le Baron for his die mod. I've lost the Reavers, but managed to add another skimmer.

So, ramming? WWP? Haemi engines?
Me gusta.

One thing I would change is Baron. I would run him only to list that include unit that can benefit from him (Beasts or Hellions)

Second are "toys" - I would include Chronos for Wyches FNP.

He's there for the roll only tbh. I just hope I won't need a Chronos. Taloi (?) are way cooler.

EDIT: damn you ninja (again!)

I know... he is useful for that too but I would try to scratch some points from other units and add even small Hellion/Beasts.

Hellions were actually considerations, as were Scourges. Nevermind the Reavers I just scrapped. Fact is, before the Troops start pouring they're all just sitting ducks.

But it were indeed the Beasts I was ultimately trying to scrape pts for (hell, Baron AND WWP? Sounds like a must-have) However, I couldn't bring myself to drop any Wyches for them, so it was a toss-up between them and the Blasterborn. Good as Beasts are, I felt the Blasterborn would add more at this stage.
