I've read this several times now, but I must miss something. When not using Talos/Cronos, Flyers or Ravagers, its always our HQs and our Raiders, that have the highest point values. It specifically says 'Models', not Unit. So, how could a 18pts Sslyth score this objective? A single Reaver Costa 2pts more. So, please, pretty please, with sugar on top!!! Could someone tell me, what I miss here?

This was in the new FAQ/Errata; it has been changed to units. https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/nnjnTVNO9s0YfZpc.pdf

Oh. So the Court is one unit and as that counts until its completely destroyed. Well, it seems, I need some more Sslyth. Thank you.

Another, possibly stupid, question: The Court now acts as one unit, unlike 8th edition, where they all were single units, right?

Correct. No Medusae running off on their own to Deploy Scramblers!

Too bad. I also miss the MW on 4+ from the Lhamean. But who cares? I can deal them otherwise...

Yeah its 2 Courts and Drazhar for WWSWF, the Courts are 4 of each Ur-ghuls and Sslyths (136pts odd memory) Drazhar is 135pts and he is hard to kill unless you miss play him.

Oh, I better link this here to the other thread in Army Lists. Thank you, too.

I would recommend using Trueborn for WWSWF instead of Drazhar. Drazhar is a tough nut to crack, but I never want to have any hesitation with tossing him into the fray.
The standard Trueborn squad also costs 135, so you get to choose between them. But in all my games with the new book, my Trueborn have died exactly 0 times. They're almost always in a raider, it's usually the furthest from the enemy so bringing the resources to kill it is tough, and even if they do, it is likely parked next to cover that the Trueborn can pile into.

Depends on the match up, you dont always take WWSWF its built into the list so you have that as an option.
But this is a good point to make if you are bringing Trueborn at 135pts.
