2000 pts DL spam

This list is more fun theory craft than competitive, but the general idea is to cram in as many DL’s and S8 weapons as possible, while not being skewed so far as to be unable to compete against certain builds.

There are 26 DL’s, including 2 always hitting on 2s and 6 blasters, which also hit on 2s. The hellions, wyches and succubus still provide some solid CC output as well as anti-horde, while everything else would just focus on blasting things away.

I think this could actually be pretty hard to beat for certain builds, such as death guard, grey knights, IK,  vehicle/monster heavy orks and most space marine lists. Even in armies with lots of shooting like admech or tau, the sheer number of threats could be overwhelming. Thoughts?

While it is certainly a fun thought-experiment, IDK if this list will bring you to the top tables.

My main concern is that two META lists would wipe out the fragile Lance holders pretty easily. AdMech flyers and Ork Artilery would knock out your Scourge and Ravagers Turn 1 without much difficulty.

But it would work great into a Marine meta with dreadnaughts and BGVs.
