I was thinking about running scourges, archons and one unit of kabs in Tantalus and the other 2 squads in the genome. But not sure if I should save them for deep strike.
I think I have enough anti armor weapons but not sure how I will fair against heavy infantry lists.
Any suggestions are welcome. I play in a semi competitive group of friends with several Tau, ultramarines, chaos, orks and astra militarium.

So much darklight, I can only approve.

You're not using units I would consider optimized (the Tantalus and the trueborns are fun to play, but not ideal), but I think you have a very strong list there.

Basically, a TON of DL for everything that has lots of wounds, then Reapers, trueborns and Tantalus can start to mow down infantry (with a little help from the poison).

I really like it. It's diverse, and very personal (you put units you liked), but I definitly has some potential to inflict pain.

Careful how you deploy your Tantalus and your reapers, those are your most vulnerable and valuable units.

Thanks for the advice.

I am gonna try and play it a few times before i get the reapers which those are the only models I need to pick up.

I just got the Tantalus today and cant wait to get that on the table.

I could switch out a unit of trueborn for mandrakes also. I was just trying to go heavy on armor pen stuff.

What other units could I use to make the list more optimal?

As you said deployment is key so I will watch that.
