the eletes take care of the footies with the venoms.

and the raiders hang back and let the heavy suport

take out the mech.

i likw whyches much better as well for troop choices they can actually fight good lol with good int. they can clear marines pretty good,.

The dukes rules mean you have to place him in the squad that wants to get 3+ poison. Which i assume is the Trueborn Squad, and because they have a venom, he cant actually go in them.

@Flayed One. Yes, FOC is 2 troops and 1 HQ.

Without Nightshields and Flickerfields your Heavy Support will die a fast and messy death.

I tend to run my Razorwing with disintegrators and a splinter cannon, as it provides better synergy with the missiles. Being able to deepstrike and drop 4 ordnance templates + 12 other shots is brilliant for getting rid of pretty much any non-vehicle unit. However I do appreciate you may need the extra dark Lances (You should have plenty already, but then I don't know who you usually face).

As said above, you should make space in the shardcarbine trueborn for the Duke, to maximize his abilities.

As personal preference, I'm not a fan of trueborn blastboats. They have to move too slow to be effective, which I'm uncomfortable with at the 18" range. However other folks swear by them, so I guess YMMV.

Be sure to report back and tell us how you're getting on!

Get flickerfields on the HS choices (though don't take Nightshields they do nothing for longranged units). You have 16 Darklight weapons at 1500 points is not enough for me.

Wycches without haywire grenades is frankly bizarre especially given how few darklight weapons you have.

If you're doing a Sliscus poision boat make it bigger and make him fit in it at the moment he is legally forced to start the game with the blaster Trueborn. That boat is a great unit killer I'd even be tempted to add a dracon so the unit can finish the job in assault as they will most likley have to disembark to shoot.

As personal preference, I'm not a fan of trueborn blastboats. They have to move too slow to be effective, which I'm uncomfortable with at the 18" range. However other folks swear by them, so I guess YMMV.

But they are the only way of getting enough Darklight weaponry into your army to do enough damage.
