| Interesting choices! May I ask how you use the wracks, the walkers, and the trueborn? Also, how does it perform? Great list! !! | |

| The larger squad of wracks I keep in the venom and use to claim objectives mid-field if necessary (note not in the relic, that has it's own special plan). The small squads of wracks usually go in reserve then wander on to claim an objective. The venoms deploy though, just empty.
The trueborn hang with the rest of the army and just use their cannon if there is nothing in range of blasters, but are usually using all their firepower from turn 2, 3 at the latest, as heavy infantry will often have moved up the board at that point or something will have drop popped in. Primarily they are used to remove units such as paladins, standard TEQ and characters in squads, I assign the Splinter shots first then have the (usually ID) blaster shots cut into the character.
The war walkers are used differently depending on target, against IG they outflank then eat tank rear armour, they will do the same against marines with 6+ tanks. Otherwise they hang with the rest of the army, sticking their guns out form behind rocks and wrecking enemy transports, or if there are no vehicles left/in range adding to the anti infantry torrent.
The farseer usually uses Prescience on the ravager or planes, but will use it on the war walkers or snipers when expedient.
As to how it performs, I have had it do very well agianst Missile Spam Wolves, and the same with IG allies or Grey Knight allies. It performs excellently against Draigo Wing and the one game I got in against Guard since I've set this up I won, although that was biased in my favour as I had 2 objectives to his 1 in Hammer and Anvil. IG can't attack worth beans. It also performed well against Ork MANZ spam with Looters.
I've lost one game with this list, but that was because I played like a spanner gave away first blood then threw my troops away in Relic. Stupid, my fault not the lists.

| 5 Squads is ok in number, but yeah they are small. The Pathfinders are hard to dig out though and I tend to just stick the two tiny Wrack squads in reserve and wander them onto backfield objectives. Will write up some batreps when I have time . | |

| well...if there are say 5 obj, 2 on each players side, and the pathfinders are camping those ones, then the wracks walk in for...what? Sry, will need a visual batrep for this - or it could be that my beauty sleep was interrupted by an idiot driver not knowing what he needs to from his GPS-.- ah well. | |

| One thing, how can war walkers tear through something like a land rider? I mean in CC with a tank they hit on rear, which usually has 10, but CSM land rider has 14 on all sides.. | |

| They don't shoot at land raiders. That's what lances are for. | |

| @Dvine: check the list, it has RWJF and Rav in it to ww are for tons of damage and shredding transports like no tomorrow! 24 s6 shots is nothing to snif at, if only half of'em hit, thats 12, need 5s to glance, thats 4 HP...mathematically ^^ | |

| Well then you use them for taking out 10-11 armored tanks + infantry. They look good thinking of putting them in as well...but I'm still not convinced in those wracks...after all they are very small units, if they are targeted they will get obliterated very fast :S. Yes you can keep them out of sight till the end, but you're also losing some potential shooties? Or it's just my warped view xD

| The main change i would make would be to dump the 2 trueborn with splinter cannons in favour of night shields on the ravager and venoms...
The planes have less use for them due to the way they move... | |
