9 Reaver Jetbikes, 3 heatlances, champion, venom blade - 249

Heavy

razorwing, flicker field, darklqnces - 155

Anyhow, this is the list I am thinking of taking to a charity event in about a month, I need to paint my other razorwing, with darklances. And another three jetbikes, and a few kabalites... I am really looking forward to testing it out, it is very similar to the army I usually run, the changes have been made to try out the larger jetbikes unit, mushkilla style, and those mitigate killpoints and bring the strengths of sixth edition to the table.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Cheers

To me, you are horribly short of AT at range. While haywires work really well, any mech heavy force is going to hurt alot

I also see a problem with long range AT especilly if the razorwing doesn't come on turn 2.

Have you thought about an ADL with quadgun, it's the best anti-flyer tool available to DE. It's also good against anything up to AV12 for stripping hull points.

The 16 warriors seem a bit out of place in the list I'd drop them to 10 and use them to fire the quad gun, basing it around a home objective. And if you take the ADL it means you could probably remove the razorwing, swapping it out for a ravager for some needed long range AT.

The 9 wyches with Haywires seems a bit like overkill in the current edition, I've found units of 5 with haywire to be more than capable of taking down most targets.

So drop the warriors to 10, no special weapons-79 Pts
drop the razorwing- 155 Pts
drop 4 wyches- 48 pts

Add ADL with quad gun 100 Pts
add Ravager- 115 Pts

which will leave you with 69 Pts. I'd get a heami to give the ADL squad FnP, and probably a sybarite for Ld boost.

As a final thought I'd try and get splinter racks on your 10 warrior gun boat, probably in exchange for one of the specials in the squad.

The list does feel a bit light on AT compared to your normal list. Don't you normally run 1-2 ravagers?

Personally I think combat drugs are a waste especially because you have a venom blade. It's 10 points for a 66% chance of being useful, +1 attack is nice, but re-rolling to wound/+1S only increase your chance of wounding by 14.2% not fantastic overall. The potential pain token is nice for the incubi. I just don't see them being worth the points. Also no PGL?

What's the aim of this squad?

Yay! I hope they do well for you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the comments. I am still considering some of the options that I have available, I want to slowly rely less on the ravagers, mushkilla style, I do love them and they are easy AT... I am also considering a 2 Lance 1 dissy configuration... making the ravagers more balanced in their role, now that people have a tendency to run more infantry.
