I am not sure how well this list would work. What do you guys think? viable? yes? no? maybe? is it competitive?
I think I would likely start the reavers in reserve and maybe even some of the kabalite warrios. NOTE: I would deploy the venoms and likely keep the warriors in reserve as they are very fragile.
Too many points on bikes? Should I drop a few and get 1 more warrior unit?
Basics of how the army might work.
The Baron obviously joins the beast to give them super cover and grenades. The +1 to choose first or second turn is also great.
The beasts are a big threat as they can kill just about anything. They have tons of wounds, are fast and ignore terrain. This unit is a bitch to kill and will probably take a lot of the pressure off of the small warriors squads.
The reavers are there to be a pain in the ass. With thire large squad size they have a good chance of drive by blading something to death, and getting a pain token early on. They are also good at threatening armour. Since they are so fast they can be a threat just about anywhere on the board and support wherever needed. Kind of like the calvary of my army.
The venoms are venoms. they kill troops, MC's and long fangs.
The ravanger give me AT support at range as well as the rifleborn.
The VB gives me some missles for light/med armour and intantry. While the St9 lances will help with AA. The bomb might even get used once in a while.
This is just something different then what I am used to playing, and I think this list could be fun. But is it competitive?
So what do you guys think? will this work?
any changes I should make? fewer bikes? drop a beast master and 3 hounds for blasters in the warriors?
