ravager


Duke would be jumping in the other wych raider 1st turn.
I have been playing space marines a lot.   I find the agonisers to be very reliable.
how effective would this be against other armys?

I would drop the reavers for ravagers. You really need more T1 AT in the list. Other than that I think its decent. Remember duke has to start with the blasterborn though... so maybe drop them so he can get stuck in with the wyches instead...

ravager

I am working on learning how best to use reavers otherwise i would have a second ravager. I was thinking and i decided to try something a little different. Goin to deploy the trueborn raider infront of the warrior and wych raiders (without succubus). Jump the trueborn out into terrain first turn and use that raider as mobile cover for the other vehicles. Also may be a backup raider for a wych squad. the warriors will probably get dropped off into terrain somewhere to make the wychs that much more mobile with 2 raiders in "reserve". How well would this work?

Have you considered PGLs for the wyches?

Quite a nice list although I concur on needing more Ravagers.

Not true. He must start with warriors OR Trueborn

its better for him to start with warriors than trueborn cause the warriors would get 3+ poisoned.
i don't think the PGL is worth putting on the wyches mainly because if my wyches get assaulted i did something wrong and i find myself fighting a lot of flamers. It is something i may try at some point maybe drop the hekatrix agonisers and give them regular power weapons.
at 1750 i deffinatly will run 2 ravagers though.
