I'm not a huge fan of list 1. I just put it together to see the reaction on people's faces when I drop 3 Prisms down in a 1000pt game. List 2, 3 and 4 are the ones I'm strongly leaning towards (more towards list 2 or 3). Any comments?

Where do I start? Oh, I know...

List 1:
Cute, In a charred carcass kind of way.
If you are marching 2 troop choices up the field your HQ had better be an avatar. A fortuneseer is not enough support for 2 squads of vanilla avengers. Any army with real armor will fry the anti-horde prisms in a hurry.

List 2:
Everything on a jetbike or skimmer, Go Siam-Hann! The jetbike squad the farseer is with should be the largest with a conceal warlock thrown in. With 3 squads, and one farseer do this: 9(farseer, warlock), 6, 3. Dump the mismatched vyper and max-out the shuri-cannons for the bikes.

List 3:
You are now on the right track with the vypers. All in a squad should be the same or don't bother. 3 fire prisms at this level is slowed. One fire prism is never enough at any level. Dump it and get 2x2 brightlance vyper squads. Also use List 2's farseer and the proposed layout of bikes.

List 4:
Drop the starlance, reaper launcher and one bike from each squad. with those points get a heafty unit of scorpoins. Spears are good at finishing fights, they dont want to start them. You need something else to chew the enemy up a little first.

Overall list 2 is the closest to being a usable force. All the others will get minced by someone who has spent more than a 10 minutes thinking about their army's build and strategy.

EDIT: spelling

List 2 and 3 provide some Saim Hann flavor.
List 3 including the Fire Prism for horde control gets my vote.

List 1
--

Hq
- the runes, add in doom (and spirit stones if you can find the points, - 1 holofield maybe)

Troops
A lil light but well spent points. DA's rock.

Elites
Hq goes here. (Your one full harlie member cost over points wise, should be 162)

Heavy
Take out a prism (twos good for str6 ap3 pie plates & anti monolith combined, the third will feel left out)
Add in a Scorp squad w/ infiltrate & a claw/biting blade.

The faster bikes will get shot at more and break v.easily, DA's can sulk through cover. & for half the points you get more wounds. No Cannons tho...
