Suicide Girls (1500pts)

I normally run the Duke and a deepstriking shooty list but thinking about trying some assault lists because pain feels good.

Urien Rakarth
9 Wyches with Haywire
Hekatrix with Agoniser
Shardnet and Impaler

2 Beastmasters and 10 Khymera

6 Reavers with 2 Cluster Caltrops

Talos with Tl Heat Lance and Tl Liquifier


Urien and his squad is for dealing with Wraithknights/Riptides/MC in cc. Other wyches are obviously to try to and crack open vehicles and then most likely die horribly. Flyer lists will rip my face. Comments would be great, especially from people who run assault lists

Urien is a lot of points for what you are using him for. Venoms kill wraithknights much better and from a safer distance.
And i would find a few points to put Either Sails on your raiders. Wyches are fragile, so getting them across the board into your opponents face turn 1 is a good idea.

The Talos seems out of place as well. You have a lot of fast moving, agile units, backed up by a super slow ponderous model. It goes against the grain of your army. Bloodbrides might be a tad better suited for this army.

You are right with the Talos, I just love the model so much. I will drop it. Have you had alot of luck with Bloodbrides? The few times I have used them I havent felt I have gotten their points worth.

I agree venoms kill wraithknights from a distance but I am trying to get away from my shooty list a bit. Urien's 5 attacks on a charge with a 3+ poisoned weapon that causes instance death is pretty good when you combine it with the pain token he gives his squad, clone field and a 5 toughness. I can absorb hits with my wyches until he kills the WK or just tank a Riptide with him as the Shardnet Impaler and his ability to regen is good. I was trying to think of a good assault HQ to give these guys that could reliably deal with MC.

I personally don't think Urien is worth the points if you're not using the D3 Pain Tokens or the +1S to Grotesques that he brings to the table.

I agree. The Duke is good for wyches too, as he gives them an extra roll on the combat drugs table.
