Hey All,

My current 1500pt list runs 3 squards of Dire Avengers in Wave Serpents as troops. I was thinking of swapping out one unit for guardians.

What is the best config for guardians in a full Mech list? Storm or normal? Lock with which powers? I have never played them and was just wondering how Dakka feels about it?

For reference - my full list

Doomseer / Rowar

10 DA exarch Bladestorm
10 DA exarch Bladestorm
10 DA exarch Bladestrom

5 Fire Dragons
5 Fire Dragons

5 Wave Serpents (1 Scatter lasers, 2 EML, 2 Shuri Cannon - All TL)

2 Fire Prisms

Total is 1496.

This list is very solid and I am not complaining about the quality, and from what I have read some people will say that swapping DA's for Guardians is a mistake but I just want to shake it up a little?

Comments?

I am not sure what to do with the points. I was thinking of improving the survivability of the Fire Prisms. Adding some powers to the doomseer.

I am actually trying to convince myself about the use of guardians because i believe it will reduce the overall power of the list. Destructor and 2 flamers, same in terms of upgraded 10 man DA squad?

So incorporating the changes I have the following configuration:

HQ

Farseer with the following configuration:

Doom, RoWar, SS, Fortune

Elite

FD x 5
WS TL Shuri Cannon
FD x 5
WS TL Shuri Cannon

Troop

DA x 10 Exarch, Bladestorm, Dual Shuri Cata
WS TL EML
DA x 10 Exarch, Bladestorm, Dual Shuri Cata
WS TL EML
Storm Guardian x 10, Flamer, Warlock, Destructor
WS TL Scatter Lasers

Heavy Support

Fire Prism
Fire Prism

Problem is this list is now 11 points over. Only way I can really think of getting it lower is to swap the TL Scatter Lasers down to Shuri Cannons. Any other thoughts?
