Hey gents. Going to a doubles tourney. Would really love to hear what people think of this list! Ibthink it's a monster. I'll just list what we are both bringing in one list. It's 1250 Pts per player and were obviously both using the real space raiders detachment. Also, without arguing about it it's been confirmed on the dark city site that you can take a line lhamean as a hq and our TO has already approved this. The difference is if you take an archon then the court doesn't take up a hq slot in the CAD. Here's the list!

HQ:

Lhamean

Troops:

10 warriors; raider, splinter racks, night shields

5 warriors, venom dual cannons

Elites:
10 wracks, liquifier; raider night shields
4 grotesques; raider with lhamean, night shields
3 grotesques; raider with lhamean night shields

Fast attack:
5 scourge, 4 haywire blaster

Razorwing jetfighter, dark lances, stock missles

yikes.

Some scourges with heat lances or blasters are good to mix it up because they're effective against troops as well. Not all tournament armies have piles of AV14.

I figured the raider gun boats, venoms, wracks and grotesques not to mention each razorwing having 4 str 6 large blast missles would be sufficient for troops.

Came in third t the tourney. And scored prize. Nice results for the new DE book!

Lhamean can't join the grots, might be hq but not ind char.

Grats on the 3rd place! Anything you particulary struggled with, or anything else standing out?

Aside from some guys slow playing round 1, we handled each opponent pretty handled

The Lhamaia doesn't add much to the unit anyway.
On the other hand...
If you can squeeze 70 points for a Haemonculus, you can turn those 2 units of grotesques into the special formation with the awesome bonuses.
