Anyhoo, i'm looking forward to this years 'Ard Boyz, I think my skill has recently curved up, hope to see any New Jersey residents at the semi-finals if I make it past my (relatively large) FLGS.

Good luck to all that are attending.

Not sure if your looking for C&C but...

'Ard Boyz without Eldrad? thought that was illegal. I'd put him in place of the farseer and get that nasty unit a Serpent.

Scorpions w/o a Serpent? Seems like a waste of an outflank/infiltrate.

10 Guardians w/ Shuricannon in a Serpent... not sure on your thinking there?

Falcon with Scatters and Cannon? Putting a Falcon with 5 DA inside within a 24" range just sounds like unhappiness to me. Brightlance or EML and no Cannon. Gunboat at range to keep the troop choice safe.

1) This made me laugh, becuase I almost have to agree. Though, for what my farseer does, hes more points effective for his points than Eldrad.

2)I'm confused to what you mean... they can still outflank, infiltrate, i'll probably use it to tie up/kill some weaker units.

3)Didn't have enough dire avengers, might as well get some more, sure I will before 'Ard Boyz.

4)You're right, I was just thinking about sucking up points, then hammering out problems.

My issue is that you might try to sit back and attempt to trade shoots with the enemy. Being that most of your tanks are armed with bright lances. You could save a few points and go with the eml which offer str8 and the ability to crack armour just like your lance weapon. Though if you ran into something stronger, thats what a fusion gun is for.

The other options is to Crack shoot your exarch so that he can attempt to by pass cover saves from vehicles.

So the warlocks plan to foot slog it around?

Well, you need both runes.
Runes of witnesses are mandatory vs Nids!

Silly me, I forgot to right the wave serpent for the seer council, this is what happens when I forget to check what I wrote.

I don't plan to sit still, as you may or may not now see. I usually outflank my warwalkers and my seer council and fire dragons attack one flank, as well as the vypers.

Runes of witnessing would be ok I will throw it in when I downgrade the guardians to dire avengers. Though tyranids are the only enemy that would make it useful (admitedly there are quite a few 'nid fans where i'll be attending the preliminary.
