Listings 5-6. Harmies- destructors, scissor hands, and webway portal x2 (might start with Raider Squads or on field solo)

Listings 7-8 Warrior Raider squads (8 man unit)- sybarite, agoniser, splinter cannon, blaster all in Raider x2 (Start on field behind terrain)

Listing 9. Warp beast pack (6 man unit) (??????????????) don't know where to start these guys

Listings 10-11. Ravager- two disentagrators x2 (????????????????) where to start these guys, I thinking behind terrain somewhere at the start of game.


A total of 6 Raiders and 2 Ravagers. Let this novice know what works and what want work. Can this army fight MEQ list as well as all hordes oriented list.

The army looks good.
Keep the Haemies footslogging, they can open the WWP in first turn, or let them fleet in first round to move forward to a safe place so that they can open the portal at round two. Wargear for the Haemies is obsolete. Drop it and give the Wych Succubi trophy racks. This little wargear often saved their lifes.
Ravagers with 2 disintegrators are versatile, anti-tank and anti-amoured-infantry.
Warriors in Archon's retinue are a bad idea. The enemy can easily kill them and then you might loose cc and run away...
Let the Pack start in the portal, it is fast enough to reach the enemy front ranks in one or two turns.
