So I have GT coming up in June, and would like to iron a list out for it so I can paint and build everything I need. Let me know what you guys think of this:
Reborn Warhost:
Autarch, Bike, Fusion Gun, Lance, Banshee Mask- 110
Archon, Blaster, Haywire, Hungering Blade, WWP- 130
x5 Wraithguard- 160
x5 Warriors, Blaster, Syrabite w/ Haywire, Venom- 135
x5 Warriors, Blaster, Syrabite w/ Haywire, Venom- 135
x5 Warriors, Blaster, Syrabite w/ Haywire, Venom- 135
D-Cannon- 55
D-Cannon- 55
x2 Shadow Weavers- 60
Yncarne- 275
Ynnead's Net
x1 Warlock, Bike, Spear- 55
x5 Winder Riders, x5 Scatter Lasers- 135
x3 Sky Weavers, x3 Cannons, x3 Glaives- 180
x9 Reavers, Champion w/ Caltrops, x2 Caltrops, x3 Heat Lances- 229
The thought is to put the Autarch and Archon with the Wraithguard. They WWP in blow up a vehicle of GMC and then Soulburst to kill another. I can lead with Autarch and hopefully soak some wounds with his 3+/4++ and then when he dies allow for the Wraithguard to Soulburst again to something useful.
I know Warriors and Venoms are not seen as the most competitive for Ynnari, but I wanted the Poison shots at range and the versatility of the Warriors. Also, people love shooting and blowing up Venoms. Because of this I will park them near the Artillery so they can Soulburst upon the Venoms' death and throw out some D-Cannon shots or some Shadow Weaver goodness. I have thought about dropping one of the Venom squads to fill the artillery out more by adding 2 more D-Cannons and another Shadow Weaver, but I will try this out first before going to that.
I actually believe the Wraithknight to be better in this list than the Yncarne, but I have been building and painting her and she is something I want to use in the army. I like the Revenant tree and he ability to give my bike units Fearless and FnP when she arrives by them.
The Net formation is something I want to try out and see how it works. I ntheory it should enable my larger bike squads to come in close to one another and Soulburst off of deaths from the multiple shots I have from the squads.
One question I have is about the Archon. He is a WWP caddie and there to help throw a HWG or shoot a Blaster as well. The Hungering Blade was a 15pt item b/c I had points left. Should I swap the Archon for a Succubus with the same set up minus the Blaster? She is a bigger melee deterrent b/c of the better statline but still not much of a threat otherwise. She can still throw a HWG but loses the Blaster shot which could be useful in a tight spot, so what are your thoughts on that?
So there it is. Let me know what you guys think. Appreciate the feedback.
