The Idea is to stick the Webway Blaster Archons each with a unit of Blasterborn, and keep them all in a raider, in reserves for a precision deepstrike. Along with them in reserve I obviously have my three flyers aswell. So as you can see I have quite a bit of my army in reserve, 1100 points to be exact. Leaving me with only 750pts to start on the board, that will at times have to survive atleast two full turns of enemy firepower, against armies more then twice its point value.
This is were Venoms shine I believe, cheap, deadly-AI, which when taken in mass provide great target saturation. I would be setting up 10xVenoms, with 2xLhameans and two of the 5xKabalite Warriors embarked on 4 of them. Thats all I would have to place during deployment, pretty much keeping them spread out and hidden, regardless of starting first or second. Survival, especially when going second is the priority, they will be able to throw down some great AI firepower if given the opportunity though.
Once my Reserves arrive, hopefully all together thanks to my comms relay, I pounce with everything I have, no more hidding. Pretty straight forward strategy. Just looking for some opinions, think an army like this could work?
