Hi folks, I'm being drafted for a national tournament by my wargaming group. I'm thinking of running Decurion, just looking to see if what I've cooked up so far is decent enough, how to improve, so on. Not expecting top tier opponents, but I want to put in as good a showing as possible.

Core - Reclamation Legion

Overlord: Phase shifter, Resurrection Orb, The Veil of Darkness, Warscythe.

Immortals: 6X Immortals, Gauss Blasters.

Lychguard: 10X Lychguard, Sword and Board.

Tomb Blades: 3X Tomb Blades

Warriors: 10X Warriors
10X Warriors
10X Warriors

Auxiliary: Canoptek Harvest

Canoptek Scarabs: 3X Canoptek Scarabs

Canoptek Wraiths: 3X Canoptek Wraiths, Whip coils.

Canoptek Spyder: 1X Canoptek Spyder


Auxiliary: Canoptek Harvest

Canoptek Scarabs: 3X Canoptek Scarabs

Canoptek Wraiths: 3X Canoptek Wraiths, Whip coils.

Canoptek Spyder: 1X Canoptek Spyder

General advice on this would be great; is the list missing anything? I'm a bit worried I lack anti-tank punch, and plan to basically ignore air units mostly, but otherwise feel pretty secure.

Cheers folks.

Looks good. Lychstar supported by MSU Harvests. Though I feel reducing the Lychstar to add in a Royal Court would be a good idea. That way you can make the Lychstar both more survivable and with better damage output. I'd also drop the 3rd unit of warriors and the 6th Immortal to support this.

List looks solid. The changes suggested by flingitnow are good suggestions, but the list is strong as is

List does look excellent, but I would also recommend fitting in a Royal Court for Future Super Saiyan Dude to add re rolls on your ones and full RP's against ID.

I think the list looks really strong as it is, but I admit to being interested in what sort of Court everyone would build.

Yeah, I don't really know what needs to go into a court, namely on the cryptek. Am I running SoL, or do I leave it cheap as feth?

As for Lords, I'm thinking scythes, but do I want to go with another Res Orb too? The other option I'm wondering about is the Zandrek/Obyron combo. It looks fun, but is it worth it? I feel like I'll get more mileage out of a cheaper lord with scythe.

You want Orikan as Cryptek and Obyron as Lord ideally. Then give Overlord the Solar Staff.

I had to drop a harvest to make that fit. Current list looks like this:

Core - Reclamation Legion

Overlord: Phase shifter, Resurrection Orb, The Veil of Darkness, Warscythe.

Immortals: 5X Immortals, Gauss Blasters.

Lychguard: 5X Lychguard, Sword and Board.

Tomb Blades: 3X Tomb Blades

Warriors: 10X Warriors
10X Warriors

Auxiliary: - Royal Court

Overlord: Overlord with TSS

Cryptek: Orikan the Diviner

Lord: Vargard Obyron

Auxiliary: Canoptek Harvest

Canoptek Scarabs: 3X Canoptek Scarabs

Canoptek Wraiths: 3X Canoptek Wraiths, Whip coils.

Canoptek Spyder: 1X Canoptek Spyder

That leaves 200 points open to play with. I have two thoughts here:
I can replace my current overlord with Zandrek to combo with Obyron, play with warlord traits and for that no-scatter VoD move, then fill out the Lychstar a bit more. Or, I can add more wraiths and spyders to my current Harvest formation to give it a bit more kick, keep the RP going for longer and add a little redundancy to the list. Or should I drop Obyron for a scythe lord and go for the double Harvest list again?

I use zahn, obyron, orikan, with LG in my list. It's a pretty powerful unit. Also I never change Zahn's warlord trait zeolot, being pretty much fearless and able to re roll to hit rolls in close combat helps keep them there and a better chance at killing stuff.

I've done some tweaking, managed to grab the full court and two harvests. The list as it stands now is as follows:

Core - Reclamation Legion

Overlord: Nemesor Zahndrekh

Immortals: 5 Immortals, Gauss Blasters

Lychguard: 5 Lychguard, Sword and board.

Tomb Blades: 3 Tomb Blades, Nebuloscopes.

Warriors: 10 Warriors
10 Warriors

Command - Royal Court

Overlord: The Solar Staff

Cryptek: Orikan the Diviner

Lord: Vargard Obyron

Auxiliary - Canoptek Harvest

Canoptek Spyder

Canoptek Scarabs: 3 Scarab bases

Canoptek Wraiths: 1X Whip coil

Auxiliary - Canoptek Harvest

Canoptek Spyder

Canoptek Scarabs: 3 Scarab bases

Canoptek Wraiths: 1X Whip coil


That said, it still feels a little rough. I'm not sure where certain things go (namely Zahndrekh), and feel like I want a VoD just in case I mishap and end up in reserves. Does the Lychstar have enough punch? I'm also wondering how necessary whip coils are on wraiths.

I'd advise you to drop the whip coils and take shieldvanes on the tomb blades.
