Could someone please help with a 600 point army list?

The list has to be able to handle Eldar, Imperial Guard and Orks.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
So far this is what I have thought of.

Archom w Agoniser, Shadow field, Combat drugs, and haywire grenades. 125p

2x 10 warriors w dark lance and raider. 350p

Has anyone got any suggestions for what is can do with the 125 points left over.

Your army list as suggested is already gakked up because at the moment your Archon is footslogging because he can't fit in either transport. Not a good idea with a model who is over 1/6 of your total army cost.

At 600 points I would focus on MSU and shooting. DE can do both of those very well, and very overwhelmingly. Add in our mobility and not much could mess with you.

I am emotionally against just flat out building lists for people, but I would advocate you to consider a Haemy as your HQ, and check out what can be done with Dakka Venoms, as they will be broken at 600.

i would avoid wasting points on max squad size.

Have to agree with what Thor said.

He said question utility of my Archon too even in a higher point list, and here it couldnt be more true. He his a huge portion of your list, he needs a transport, preferably with some other assault units in it. With the wargear youve given him, hes not going to do a whole lot sitting with warriors, youd basically have nothing for him to do, save getting your raider close and drop him into combat to fend for himself. Switching to a Haemy with a liquifier could give you an extra venom for him to ride in, and make some crispy critters out of the lesser races. However I would still suggest getting some to ride with him to benefit from his pain token.

With the extra points, get a Ravager with flicker field. having 5 or 6 anti mech weapons would be good for a list this size.

I ran two wyche crews, x8 + Heka w/ Agon, Haywires - Raiders FF
Two Haems - Liquifiers

min Warrior crew (which if I were to go to 600 points, I'd work onto a Venom somehow, as per Thor's recommendation)

in a 555 rtt. Tabled 2 outta 3 ... I forget third game; I'm thinking a draw ....

Yslyth the problem is i don't own any ravagers. Another problem i have is only owning 2 raiders.
I have absolutaly no venoms.

Models i do have are

Succubus
Archon
couple of heamonculus
about 15 wyches
20 warriors
2 raiders
Reavers

My options are a little limited for choices that is why my first list doesn't have MSU.

Then you might want a wwp and bring those wyches in, since its the only other thing you have besides more HQ.

I'm proxying SM Land Speeders. Pretty much the right size. Surely, you could borrow a couple?

I would pretty strongly advise against WWP for 600 points. Reserving when the point totals only allow most armies to bring 4-5 units is just waaaaaaaay too risky in my opinion.

Considering your models I would probably aim for something like;

2 Wych squads in Raiders w. Hekatrix and Agoniser.
3 man Trueborn w. 2 Lances.
RJBs with Blaster
2 Haemys to ride with the Wyches.

You can play with it in some ways (bringing more or less Wyches, bringing liquifiers on the Haemys or not, ect. ect.)

Basically it gives you a nice bit of anti tank punch (2 lances, the Blaster on the RJBs, and potentially the lances on the Raiders depending on whether or not your Wyches need to be aggressive.

Against hordes you have the bladevanes to annoy and the wyches as a punch.

The best list would be more of a shooting list that just moved away from threats - but you don't have the models for it, sadly. I would explore potentially finding something you can proxy as Venoms, as I do think it would help you out.

Looks good, better the wyches have the transports than the trueborn, those DL trurborn at least have range on their side.
