basically i've got a rather large army i got from a friend, slapped this together after some noob player advice to keep things simple for the first few games until i get a feel for the army. quite a lot of it is old models and i plan on buying 3 new ravagers shortly (i have 2 old model ones already, but after looking at a magnetizing guide realized i can set them up to play double duty and function as reg raiders as well so will get three for long term and set them up to convert)

My first observation is that you can make it a Batallion (2 HQs and 3 troops) detatchment for another 2 CMP for free with the added bonus that you can combind the Helion to larger units if you'd like to.
Normaly i find that 5 is easy to overwatch to death and they rarely reach the critical mass not to be hit back once they've fought. But ofc this setup gives you more flexability.

Ravagers would be a fantastic addition as you might lack some AT. Worth thinking about adding some lances to your kabalites. Not super fun to have them and -1 to hit as they move, but if you lack other choices like Razorwing Jetfighter or Ravagers it's a acceptable choice.

Looking forward to hear about the results of your comming raids.

lmao, crap i knew there was a reason i went with 3 troops. i did this up late last night and it was battalion not patrol.. derp

this is actually almost exactly what i wanted to do too lmao. i might spit the hellions in to 2 groups (of 7 each) and just use the three points to put both in the webway.

dropping one might free up enough points to do the darklances as well.

ive actually got two ravagers sitting on the side but i figure for 1000 pts starter army ill try to keep things brain dead simple.

i feel like its really lacking anti-armour but i think with the sheer volume of splinter fire and the three raider lances ill be able to handle a little bit of it in a small 1000 pts game..

It's a shame that you haven't found the points to give a DL to each of your Kabs squad :/

with some of the advice i might be able to cut a few hellion by going battalion and free up just enough to add the darklances to the KB squads. seems like a smarter move just slapping all the hellions together in one webway portal for 1 cmd point and cutting 1-3 of them for the lances.

You'd be doubling your amount of Darklight, that's a huge deal

so im still painting these guys up, and put off playing a game with it due to the codex dropping so soon (no point in learning it to have it all change)

so with the previews obviously there have been some cost drops meaning im quite a bit below the 1000 pts limit. what if anything would you guys suggest adding?

right now im thinking with price changes i can add a blaster AND a blast pistol to each of the kabalite squads. drop the haemonculus and replace it with a second archon.

what im thinking is to add in a venom to carry the  two archons and potentially drop a few hellions to make sure their is plenty of point space for the venom

this would make everything mounted and flying. with the hellions in the webway for 1 cp

thoughts? criticism? note: im brand spanking new so want to keep things simple before i start throwing in more flavour (ive got enough models to do 2k+ but i want to start small when it comes to playing)
