1500pt Throne of Skulls list - need help! (5 points over!)

So I'm 5 points over and need help rejigging the list to make it under 1.5k. The problem is that I really want to keep everything I have it there. What would you guys do?

Baron Sathonyx

5 Kabalite Warriors 45
• Venom: splinter cannon. 65

4 Beastmasters: 10× Khymerae; 4× Razorwing Flock. 228

Farseer: Eldar jetbike. 115

3 Guardian Jetbikes 51

5 Warp Spiders 95

1,505 points

Actually I suppose the simplest way is to drop two Khymerae and get 1 more Warp Spider. Then it'll be 1500 on the nose.

What are people's thoughts about the competitive value of the list?

Looks good to me. let us know how it does!

I assume the farseer is going to join the beasts - and beasts are far better AT weapons than ravagers in my experience. Drop a ravager, buy shard of anaris and make your beasts fearless, you cannot afford to have them run off the board with 2 characters.

For the left over point you can buy a shuriken cannon, more windrider bikes, warp spyders or special weapons for your warriors.

So something more like this?

4 Windrider Guardians 68

5 Warp Spiders: Warp Spider Exarch. 105

1,500 points

Yes, though I think you forgot to delete one of the ravagers  

If you can get an extra warp spyder I would do that instead of the 4th bike - the windriders are only good for objective hunting in their current configuration and they do that just as well with 3 bikes.

This is my own list, which is somewhat similar:

Baron Sathonyx

5 Wyches: haywire grenades, Hekatrix, venom blade
Venom: 2x splinter cannon, grisly trophies

5 Wyches: haywire grenades, Hekatrix, venom blade
Venom: 2x splinter cannon

5 Wyches: haywire grenades, Hekatrix, venom blade
Venom: 2x splinter cannon

4 Beastmasters, 15 khymeras, 2 flocks

9 Reaver jetbikes: 3 blasters, Arena champion, venom blade

Farseer: jetbike, runes of warding, runes of witnessing, spirit stone of anath'lan, shard of anaris, singing spear

3 Windrider jetbikes: shuriken cannon
3 Windrider jetbikes: shuriken cannon

5 Warp spyders: Exarch, spinneret rifle, fast shot

The baron and farseer obviously join the beasts, which get hit and run, stealth, fearless, 2 combat characters, psychic power buffs, psychic defense.

You could switch the wyches for warriors but I find them more versatile.

There's also 5 troops in the list, who can all contribute and be a pain to several types of target.

That's a nice list! I actually modified your suggestion to keep the third Ravager. I just love having three of them. I agree with you about the fourth Windrider. In fact today at lunchtime I drafted a list where I drop one of the Raider Venoms. I quite like the look of this:

It still has plenty of AI, 5 scoring units, masses of AT and a stronger, fearless beastpack squad.

Looks good!

I prefer more khymerae than razorwings but both have its uses.

Have you tried it yet? My list looks a lot like it but I have night spinner for some barrage action also.

Agree with Vasara, your list is fine - now go practice and come back to us with a win and a batrep

There are 8 Khymerae and 4 Razorwings.

Yes, I really want to try out the Nightspinner. I've heard they're very good.

I need to get the beast pack models sorted or perhaps proxy them in a few games, then build up my Baron conversion and then I'm good to try it. Will let you guys know!
