Hey!

Most of my squads I keep the same in their make up for every game, but I swap the combination of squads around depending on what I feel like, or what Im playing.

Ive always wanted to try a set up with loads of warriors in small squads so what do you think of this 1500pt list?


HQ
===

Haemonculus, skyboard, sissorhand, destructor, webway portal, haywires. 114pts

Haemonculus, skyboard, sissorhand, destructor, webway portal, haywires. 114pts



Elite
===

8 Wyches (including succubus with agoniser), wych weapons, shredder. 150pts
(enters via Webway Portal)


Troops
===

10 warriors (including Sybarite with agoniser, trophy rack, haywire grenades),
2x Splinter Cannon, Shredder, Blaster. 150pts

Raider transport with Desintigrator (more use to potentially thin out the enemy unit before transported unit assaults). 60pts

10 warriors (including Sybarite with poisoned blades, haywire grenades),
2x Splinter Cannon, Shredder, Blaster. 130pts

Dias of Decimation. 250pts
(My custom gunship - Ravager with 2xDL, 2xDis, 2xSplinterCan, 2xShredder, energy field, and works like the Dias of Destruction in combat only with 4 warrior attacks (5 if charging), and at strength 4. It can be given wargear.

My lack of fast attack is because, the haemonculi on skyboards race forward to spawn portals and rather than having jetbikes and hellions at the front, you have talos and wyches!

Sweet, the list looks deadly you gotta show me results tomorrow.
Well enough I will be fielding two defilers for the first time tommrow.

Well, the custom gun ship looks nice, but is too expensive.
Haemonculi suck.
They have to deploy the portal close to the enemy so that the Wyches eventually reach cc.
I used a similar tactics, deploying 2 sniper Warrior units and 2 Haemonculi on the board at the start of the game,
while the rest of the army was mounted (or Ravagers) entering through the WWP if necessary (e.g., going 2nd).

Cheers!

Yea, I need a ravager and a few more raiders, also I need more warriors to complete my full 4,500pt army! lol. I want to bump all the assaulting warrior squads up to 15 strong, and have 6 warrior retinues for my archon and dracon.

2 defilers, nice!

I'll report later this evening.

Haemonculi do fairly suck, long range wise anyhow, but thats why I mount them on skyboards so they can get in with the webways, and if need be, haywire the feck out of sum tanks! Also the 5+ inv Jink save.

Yeah, more Raiders would help ya a lot, I think. One of the better delivery systems in the game, point for point.

Greetings,

I'll be intrigued to hear how the twin Hamey Hellions work out for you. It seems risky - but then again you're running Webway so you're already accepting a large amount of risk.

I'm curious about the concept behind the 10 man footslogger squads with 1 Lance and 1 Splinter Cannon. What is your plan with them? If they're there to pop vehicles they seem limited by only generating one shot. If they're there to deal with infantry they feel hamstrung by the presence of a heavy weapon locking down their movement and by the fact that the other footslogging squads are much better suited to hunt troops. (in short it sort of feels like giving a flamer to a squad with a Lascannon) Have you tried this build before, how does it serve?

Dropping the custom vehicle for a pair of Ravagers and some other upgrades seems like it would serve you better overall. (though I think by your commentary you don't have the extra Raiders or Ravager models to use)

Is there a reason you don't have the two footsloggin assault squads of Warriors enter through the Webways?

I'm surprised at the lack of Raiders but I think your list can work if you keep the portals from getting blown apart. This list looks like it would have problems against indirect fire if it went 2nd. Good luck.

Just about to upload photos and write a report!

Im not telling you what heppend yet!

Its true that I need to get 2nd dark lances for the dark lance squads, and I need more raiders and a ravager or 2, but Im short on the cash and theres so much Ive still got to paint!

Thought Id webway the squad with the agoniser, but I kept the other two squads on the field incase they could find good fire points.

By the way, I was fighting orks!
