---------------------------------------------------

Purely competitive list. Built to take marines, bugs, orks, chaos, you name it.

2 Special characters may be pushing it, but this isn't built to make friends, it's my effort to take a pretty fluffy list and make it worth a damn in a tournament setting.

Note: I had 12 points left over at the end of building it and decided to just slap a hull shuriken cannon on the wave serpent as an afterthought, any better way to spend those points beyond putting an extra guardian in one squad?

Please critique away.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting list.

I'm concerned that the vibrocannons aren't going to be useful because you'll have a hard time drawing a line from the cannon to your desired target without crossing one of your own units in the process. The prisms and the serpent will have no problem positioning in such a way that they won't be on the vibrocannon path, but you've got two units of guardians, a unit of scorpion and a unit of harlies that have more restricted movement. I would probably take the vectored engines off the other two prisms, remove the vibrocannons entirely, sack a guardian and use your 12 leftover points to buy another prism with spirit stones and holo-field.

Shirou, thanks for the reply.

Generally, I deploy my vibrocannons in an area where they will not have to deal with friendly units staying in the line of fire. Most of the time they're on a flank and perform area denial.

The harlequins are counter-charge/distraction for the list. The Scorpions are as well, but also serve as infiltrators should the mission allow it and there be an inviting target in my opponents backfield. The Guardians are my gunline as it were, supporting the artillery, with a rapid response element in the DA's mounted in their serpent. Maugan Ra and Eldrad hang out and do what they do best, while the paired prisms pick apart armor (and infantry) from long range.

That's my logic in a nutshell and why the list is built the way it is. As for the third fire prism, don't have the model to field it, sadly >_< Otherwise I'd consider it. As for vectored engines, those stay on the prisms, as they're more powerful if there are two of them on the field, and losing one to an immobilized result would suck, especially if it could have been prevented (to an extent) by a simple upgrade like Vect Engines.

Still, it's food for thought, and for that I thank you Shirou.

Any other thoughts?

Looking forwards to seeing if anyone else cares to comment or critique. Till then, take it easy.
