any tips?

2 monoliths at 1500 is not a good idea, and your tomb spyders are not really going to do much. i would suggest dropping 1 of the liths, Put in the destroyer body and phase shifter. then make the destroyer squads 5 man. you could also drop the other lith for more warriors for your phase out limit. then again, the lith would be teleporting for most of the game. maybe drop 1 spyder for a lord

Two monoliths at 1500p is wonderful idea! Tomb Spyders are waste of points (following woodbok) What I have learnt during my games is that if you have too much Destros you lose game. Yes, sure they are good unit but most of them will die on 2nd or 3rd turn against clever player and clever list. Drop one of the Destro squads and take one more warrior squad and give lord what Woodbok told and some extras (maby Gaze of flame or Warscythe)

Its only 1 monolith, he has just written it strangely...

I'd drop the tomb spiders and bring 3 more destroyers, plus 15 over to give something to your lord if you want.

Destroyers are our best unit by far, I try to get as many as I can on board. 3 shots at Str 6, that if your dice are lucky, can also take out vehicles, is good. Thats a lot of shots.

Currently testing a lot with 1 Lord with res orb and dest body
2 x 10 warriors
3 x 5 Destroyers
Monolith
1 x 3 Hvy Destoryers
1 x 2 Hvy Dest

for my 1850 army.

When my dice are hot, the destroyers were taking care of vehicles, but when not, was getting me killed. Since I started playing with the heavy's, which I know most folks stay away from. I have been getting rid of vehicles better.

Normal tactic, is pick high pri vehicle, go after it with the 3 man squad. Then the 2. If its a transport, then I will drop whatever was in it with a shot from the monolith or tear into it with the destroyers.

If I have 2 high pri's, then I will split the squads, and keep one unit of destroyers out of shooting till the end in case needed.

My main thing is take out anything that is transporting things to get me in hth. Once those are down, honestly, the rest is easier, cause with so much in jetbikes, I can keep out of hth for the most part. I keep warriors in reserve and bring them on the furthest I can.

Been toying with dropping the lord with destroyer and give him a veil of darkness. Or just drop the lord all together, and bring the Deciever to guard my Monolith.

Sounds like good stuff, think thats i better i intended to use the tomb spyders as anti tank but that might not work so well so i will replace them with heavy destroyers.

I would also recommend that you try to run 2 lords or at lest one with a destroyer body to get more wbb rolls for the destroyer squads

Yea thats pretty iffy tbh. Assaulting tanks your either auto hitting( very not likely) 4+ hitting (likely) or rollings 6s (even more likely) The smart player that is within assault range with his tanks, will move them so its harder for you to actually hit it.

Now shooting them, doesnt matter weather they moved or not. And the heavy destroyer will be easily far enough away to not be assaulted for blowing up a tank, the spyder would

I'd drop the Tomb Spyders and put a Veil of Darkness on the Lord and buy two more Destroyers with the leftover points.
