I was looking at the deepstrike rules for 7th and saw that vehicles that deep strike count as moving at combat speed. Making Dukes deepstrike rule way more potent. I made a couple lists to take advantage of that.
This first list is would probably only start the Warriors and Trueborn in deep strike and the Reavers just zoom around for the first couple turns, bladevaning and jinking. On the turn Warriors drop in I'd have to go super aggressive, try to shoot troops on objectives, kill guard/cultist blobs, force leaderships etc... Hopefully get pain tokens to the warriors before the raiders get dropped.

This list is full deep strike minus the Rangers which will outflank or hide. I think with the new Maelstrom missions people are going to spread out to secure as much as they can early. Or the full deepstrike will scare them into a corner. If they spread I'll probably get put behind early but with the Yriel, just about everything should come on turn 2 and I think I can wipe out 2-3 objectives worth of troops with the poison and Shatterfields. If they bunch up on one side of the map I'll just keep them pinned there and focus anything that strays out. I think this army is very win hard or lose hard.

Lemme know what you think. I'm just playing with new ideas for 7th.
