Need some ideas and critique here. I made this list today on a whim because I wanted to see if it was at all plausible to make an army where everything has the same range on weapons. Heres the list.

Tell me stuff about my army please.

as long as you don't plan on fighting anything AV 14 ..... takes a lot of glancing hits to kill tanks.

true but it only takes 2 or 3 glances to put it out of comission for the game.

Hehe missile spam, eldar edition. Although AP4 frags are pretty cool. I guess it could work. Get into cover and it'll be a slugfest against other shooting armies

wow I made this army just as a joke like "haha everyone is goign to rage when they see this" because everyone seems to think that dark reapers and vypers are bad so I just thought it might be funny. I didn't honestly think that this list might be decent.

Clearly not your standard Mechdar list

You'll have quite a few weaknesses, but this would definitely be fun to play.

I'd suggest running War Walkers over Dark Reapers. 2 EML each and 6 per squad!!! Way more than 2 shots with the Exarch

Also, give the Autarch a pistol! +1 attack is well worth the 2 (is it 2? I can't remember, but it's very low) points

i like the name of this post

I really want to field the reapers because they can fire 2 shots 48", 3 if I use fast shot with the exarch so really if all 3 squads fire with fast shot I'm throwing out 36 St5 Ap3 shots and 6 St8 Ap3 shots that is so many dead due to lack of armor saves i can't even begin to grasp. Also autarch comes with a pistol for free.

@element thanks I thought it was appropriate.

FYI: Fast Shot is not as good as Bladestorm. Only the Exarch gets an extra shot, the rest of the squad does not.

And, I thought the pistol was an upgrade, my mistake.

Although DR are easier to stick into cover than walkers. And better BS. But I do like the mobility the walkers

@grakmar thanks for clarifying about the fast shot. I assumed that it affected the whole squad.
