Does dukes rule affect the tantalus? If not you're going to have to take retrofire jets and your wyches will be stuck turn 1. Also, even though I know why you took raiders for your trueborn it just makes my queasy for them not to be in venoms.

Also, why is a hekatrix hanging out with your wracks? I don't think Cults and Covens get quite that cozy with each other...

Hekatrix is a typo, the Wrack unit was originally a unit of Wyches that I was overwriting.

I don't generally deep strike with the Duke though I really should give it a go, I just don't feel confident doing it. Either way that doesn't affect that. Sadly the Tantalus can't have splinter racks.

Had to pump darklight into as much of the list as possible as the Ravagers would be left at port.

I know the Duke does nothing for this list but it was more fun than anything and a possibility for the future.

Tantalus's need a decent speaker system as standard as well as a kick ass spoiler

Seconded.

I wouldn't even use the main gun on the tantalus. It's flyover attack is pretty brutal and you should have some success using it on vehicles as well.

Take a shock prow and you could take out 2 vehicles per turn!

gl with so little darklight. It seems the majority of your AT will end up coming from the flyover attack. Give it a whirl and see how it works for you though. Ive wanted to try the Tantalus for some time now, but you have just gone overboard with it

Is the tantalus legit in standard games? You just have to let your opponent know you're running IA models right? How does it work in tourney format?

Maybe some toys on Tantalus? There is no Threat Mitigation on 200+ transports anyway.

Not sure why you mentioned Flicker Fields and add their points, they are in base equipment.

However it might be a good idea to add Night Shields and Torment Grenade Launcher.
Night Shield - cause if they will keep close while tank-shocking, ramming and such it must negate melta.
TGL pretty much for the same thing, it has a massive footprint and those 6' around Tantalus will be pretty bug radius.
