1st draft of a list for the new codex. Using a lot of older configurations for weapons (lot of scatters from last edition) aiming to be pretty balanced and well rounded but pretty easy to succeed with with some proper placement and timing. What do y'all think?

Wraithlord stock out like a sore thumb as a very poor unit in this list. Without the 6" free move each shooting phase he's simply too slow to contribute. You have him equipped to supply some AA but at 185 points you are so laughably better off with Crimson Hunters. Dump him.

I would like to see far more bikes. Look at the Avenger Shrine that is 365 points. For 4 S6 shots and 40 blade storm shots at S4. Granted that is at Bs5, but as short range and limited mobility. Replace that with 13 Jet bikes at 351 points and you have 39 S6 blade storm shots with increased survivability, manoeuvre ability and range. No brainer really.

I don't see the value in Exarchs with the Hawks and Spiders (I'm guessing last edition configs here). I also think the Reapers need a couple of extra bodies to be worth it.


Hope this helps.

Exarch's are required for the aspect hosts, normally I'd go without. But 2W and BS5 on the unit is nice for a 10pt upgrade.

Already Bs5 hadn't noticed the requirement though so cheers for pointing that out.

Version 2.
I'm leaning towards a Wraithlord since it looks awesome. Against anything coming towards me or DS'ing he has some uses. Hunter worked in and less Avengers, extra bike unit and no more reapers. I love them but they don't really plug any holes to a significant degree.

I like your list because it's not the typical spam list. I'm actually looking at several different aspects.

I field wraithlords also but I give either twin lances or twin scatter lasers.
