Rakarth Rampage

So, I was always intending to play a coven style list and since seeing Skari's path of the carnivale thread I'm inspired to give it another go. I am using a list with no fliers or AA for the simple reason that there is a group at my local club who sometimes agree to use no fliers in our games. I have a game against Tau on Monday night for the first time in 6th, and first time with my DE. Hoping Skari himself, and a few others of you will give me your opinions. Also, maybe give me ideas on what I should think about dropping/changing to squeeze one or both of my Razorwings in there.

I look forward to seeing what you all think.

No comments yet. Only thing I was gonna say was, there are in fact Grisly trophies on the Wracks Venom too. That makes exactly 1750pts.

I like the list. Any experience with it yet?

I would drop the shardcarbine on the trueborn.

Yeah, mixed results so far. Won against nids, monstrous creatures all dropped from loads of splinter fire and the Wracks took down a load of hormagaunts, new poison cc weapon rules are golden against them, wounding on 3's with re-rolls totally rules! Grotesques were owned by 'Stealers though. The main issue is the engines struggle to keep up with the rest of the army. The shardcarbine is only there 'cos I sometimes use 3 splinterborn with two splintercannons and he's the only spare guy I have to fill out that unit to 5 strong, it's only 5 points at the end of the day. Had a really bad game against Orks though, it was looking good at Turn 5, just not enough survivability to last 7 turns. Oh yeah, and the Tau completely destroyed me. Foolishly attempted to play the deny first turn game, thought that Vanguard strike deployment would make that a good idea, held a fair bit in reserve to try and overload a flank on turn 3, It didn't go too well! I was taken to bits piecemeal. I should definitely have just Zoomed straight at him, took first turn and gone for the throat. Going to put my 1500pts list I'm using for a tournament in a couple of weeks time on here, reckon it's pretty tight.

Nice. Yeah, practice makes perfect I am glad you are giving all your units a fighting chance before you cut them off. The talos and chronos are a mid-wave unit so they come in later in the game to turn the tide.

Steelers with an implant attack broodlord will own grots.
