| I've made a few similar lists (my first proper ones in 8th) and I'm looking for opinions on them: List 1- Spoiler:

5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95
5 Trueborn w/ 4x Blaster - 115 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Trueborn w/ 4x Blaster - 115 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95
Ravager w/ 3x Dark Lance - 155
1500pts (6CP) List 2- Spoiler:
Archon w/ Huskblade, Blaster, PGL - 82 Archon w/ Agoniser, Blaster, PGL - 76
5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95
5 Trueborn w/ 4x Blaster, Agoniser, PGL - 122 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Trueborn w/ 4x Blaster, Agoniser, PGL - 122 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95
5 Scourges w/ 4x Blaster - 130
Ravager w/ 3x Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 156
1500pts (6CP) List 3- Spoiler:
Archon w/ Huskblade, Blaster, PGL - 82 Archon w/ Agoniser, Blaster, PGL - 76
5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Raider w/ Dark Lance, Shock Prow - 116 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Warriors w/ Blaster - 50 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Warriors - 35 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95
5 Trueborn w/ 4x Blaster - 115 - Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon - 95 5 Mandrakes - 95
5 Scourges w/ 4x Blaster - 130
Ravager w/ 3x Dark Lance - 155
1500pts (6CP)
In every list, each Archon will go with one of the Raider-Warrior squads. I'm aware that Huskblades on Archons aren't optimal but I wanted to differentiate my two Archons in some way. - List 1 is pretty basic, but everything is in a transport. - List 2 drops a Warrior squad and a Venom for a unit of Scourges with Blasters. The Trueborn also have Agonisers and PGLs. - List 3 Instead drops a Trueborn squad and one of the Warrior's Blasters for a unit of Scourges with Blasters and a unit of Mandrakes. I've basically not played DE at all in 8th so any thoughts or advice would be most welcome. | |

| I like 1, maybe drop one of the trueborn for a second ravager with disintegration cannons. You already have a lot of blasters and you can split fire in 8th so it doesnt matter if they are all in the same squad.
The second ravager will give you some good anti elite infantry.
Solid list. | |

Solid list. I don't actually own a second Ravager. I have a Razorwing if that's any good? | |

| Drop huskblade on one of the archons for second agonizer. I also like the razorwing idea. | |

As I said, I gave one a Huskblade to differentiate the two a bit. | |

| Swapping Trueborn with Blasters in Venom for a RWJF is a great idea. You get a twin splinter rifle or preferably splinter cannon, 2 DL or 2 dissies, and the excellent Razorwing missiles as well as the flyer's great movement abilities and some extra durability. It saves you points even if you take all upgrades on the fighter. Think you will be pleasantly surprised. | |

| Okay, I'm happy to take a Razorwing. One other thing I've been considering is swapping out the Huskblade Archon for a Swooping Hawk Autarch (though this would probably work better in one of the lists with Scourges in). It's about as close as I can get to a winged Archon. | |

| I like an autarch, but only in a list with more CWE for the reroll 1's.
Razorwing is solid. They are excellent this edition. -1 to hit and your enemy will 100% be shooting at it. Also gives you anti elite and anti tank while taking the heat off your ravager. | |
