Help with list - 1500

Hi Dark City,

After a few games with my old list an few win ( thanks to your inputs). I thought I would try a few new units and HQ options.

I have come up with a the below list I. Any idea on how to improve or streamline the list as well as short falls or over sight would be great .

tatics/ tricks i could pull with this list could be cool. Ive also have about 130 points spare.if my maths is corret.

Warriors in raiders are to pick up objectivs late game, Wytchs are to hunt vechiles, Trueborn are firebases , reavers to soften up targets, Void Bomber to hit vechiles and beasts are to clean up any mess.

Any input or idea would be greatly appricated.

Thank you in advance.

You can only have 1 special weapon in a unit of beast masters - so you can ditch 2 of the venom blades straight up. To be honest, with a single attack, i would ditch all 3.

Second, your beast unit is illegal completely. With each master you can have 0-2 flocks, 0-1 fiends OR 0-5 khymera - so 1 type of beast per master.

I think you need to go back and re-read the codex and do the list over...

Hmm, big oops on that .. Thanks got a lil carried away. Ill edit the list

Well, i'd like splinter cannons on the warriors.

The wyches with the grenade launcher might be bigger since they might die very quickly.
If they are meant to only kill tanks and the like, i'm not sure they even need the hekatrix upgrade at all.

Question: do you need all 5 trueborn in those units?

Maybe a 4th beastmaster with 5 more khymeraes ?

Not too experienced witj DE but i threw in my 2 cents on the matter anyhow ;-)

Hi Thrax, that's an interesting suggestion about the true born, could save some points there. Thank. You for your thoughts. Yeah the beast pack could do with some bulking up.

Just trying to help ;-)

You could try 4 trueborn. 2 splinter cannons and 2 shardcarbines, in a venom with 2splinter cannons.

That should amount to 30 poisoned shots. But i think i'd just take 3 trueborn with 2 splinter cannons.

Hi again,

Thanks for your idea and corrections I've put together a new list as below, I'd like to say thanks to Irakunar Thrax and Massaen for their help and time.

Ive got 18 points spare is there much i could add ?? or should i take out the Ravager and beef up an existing unit or does someone have a better idea for the points.

I think its should play well, and with the addition of the Ravager gives me some Turn 1 AV. Guess only time will tell, thanks again dark city for your help .

Okay, this looks pretty good to me at least :-)

With the 18 spare points i have some suggestions, these are just options from the back of my head.

You could add hekatrix with venomblade to the wych squad to give more CC presence.

You could add a flickerfield to the voidraven so you never have to jink.

You could add shardcarbines to trueborn units.

At least there are some suggestions here. The ravager is very nice to have.

Well, hope that helps with the last chaff points.

On first glance IMHO you lack AT. Add another Ravager with 3 DLs to fix that.

Give both the Raiders with Warriors splinter racks if you can spare the points as it seems you' ll be going gunboating there.

Give the voidraven soms bombs, or else it loses most of it's purpose and you just aswell can take another Ravager.

Other than that... Yeah I still hope you have enough AT. Don't underestimate the power of our lances to do nothing at all most of the time.

Yeah, splinter racks are very good. How did i forget that...

Ravagers are very good i will admit.
Ravagers are much like sm vindicators, if one is uncertain to do the job, two most likely Will.
That said, i don't like the ravager models, so i don't field them.

So i guess it's a matter if you are going for competitive builds or the rule of cool.

All of tlronin's advice was sound advice, but keep in mind that missiles on voidravems also gets expensive very quick.
