Warriors, weapons and future plans

Hey all!

Long time creeper first time poster.

I've received a box of warriors and the start collecting box for Christmas. I'm just curious about fitting the warriors and archon. It seems like dark Lance's are the way to go, but is it actually worth the points to take them on warriors? For the archon it seems like the huskblade isnt all that good so I was thinking agonizer and blast pistol.

I was also considering waiting until the new 8th edition codex comes out but that may be awhile.

Any advice on this or where to go after would be awesome!

Set it up where you can have 2x5 or 1x10 and 1 Heavy weapon (DL), Its really easy with the Start Collections b.c you also have the Raider you can use the guys that are Handing off as a Special weapon and a 2nd Sybarite. This will get you 2 more bodies to play around with. You can then have your DL kabal and another Sybarite.

The Guys that hand off honestly just get in the way, but if you really wanted to keep them on thats fine too.

DL's on Kabals are fine in Raiders, if you are putting them in Venoms i wouldnt use a DL on them.

As for the Archon, i have 6? of them all kitted differently, sometimes i like Agoniser, sometimes i like the Huskblade. If you fighting lots T3 the Husk is better, otherwise the Agoniser is better.
As for the Blast Pistol? I like them, but i also put them on all my Sybarites and Dracons.

Dont fully build your Reavers yet, you can get them built enough to play, but since they are one of the worst units in the game atm, they will get a change.

Wow
Thank you for the quick and informative reply. From what I understand I should have multiple archons perhaps fitted differently as well as deciding how I want to group my warriors. I have 20 total so I should be able to split them nicely. I was considering turning some into trueborn if it's worth it as well.

Thank you for the information.

You could Magnetize them. I have ALOT only b.c i played Corsairs. The barons (a cheap HQ for them) are just Archons without the Court Rules (they are Eldar that abandon their faction to go rogue pirates).

B.c how you had to play Corsairs you HAD to have 2-3 Archons (Barons) tho you could get a Void Dreamer, they had Negatives to using them.. but i did play with 1-2 of them time to time. So i wouldnt buy more if you dont plain on using more.

PS: Corsairs are gone now, they were a FW army that didnt get 8th ed rules.
