Against a guard player who goes first with the first list I can put up a fight by reserving everything. I almost feel like thats no longer an option with no outflanking tervie or stealers. I really don't know if the loss of an out flanking tervie is worth it.

Why Deathleaper? At Ard Boyz I would imagine you would want to bring all the anti tank you can squeeze in. That is elites for the bugs.

Outside of that, I would say the Steelers are necessary for their ability to outflank and threaten distant targets as the rest of your army is pretty slow.

The reason for death leaper is that he actually does increase my ant tank potential, indirectly though. -D3 on psychic hoods + zoanthropes = win. Also IMO all imperialist armies shoud have a hood at this point level. He also does wonders against eldar, lash, librarans (especially mephiston) and space puppies with jaws. Hes a kill point you will never get unless im going to get masacred anyway. And, he autocontests an objective. He really is too good to pass up I feel.

I mean is this past ard boyz he brought a minor win in scenario 1 to a major. In round 2 who knows how much he helped against guard by killing his hood for my zoans. And in round three he made a suicide run to kill a tank for me to only take a minor loss as ipposed to a major, so I still qualified.
