Monolith 200


I made this list to hold objectives while foot logging one or two warrior squads up a flank behind a monolith. The other monolith will be held in reserve for deep strike purposes. The destroyers will be used of course to take out armor then harass cc units before they get to my warrior squads. Not quite sold on the scarab spam yet but i do want to see what they can do with and with out spyder support. I want to see how the doom scythe can handle fire after a flat out move or will i have to deep strike it in. As far as anrakyr goes moving over a land raider hitting it with sweep attacks and then taking over another vehicle at the end of my move is to much for me to pass up as a long time IG player. I want my tanks. I think my destroyers are my most versatile unit and I think they will only get better in 6th edition.

Big fan of the traveler on the Command barge.

But you dont have much in the way of assault or counter assault. (1 unit of scarabs, they could get tied up by a high T MS)

Consider making room for Lychguard Maybe? Big fan of them also, with a Veil, and another cyptek tucked somewhere with Solar. So Get Lychguard to flank of the enemy with Veil, and protect em with NF for 1 round?


The more i read the book, the more i like the big chunks of warriors walking up

I like this list, different from what I am looking at but I like it.

I thought about adding some wraiths to give the army some cc ability but I just don't think its worth it when everything is I2. Im not to worried about adding keeping units out of cc as I've been playing IG for the last year. With the fast attack tying up vehicles what ever is left should die easily enough to the warrior squads. I think the biggest surprise is going to be when I bring out a full destroyer squad out of a monitith.

I like the big units of Warriors, however They get charged and end up losing combat and get over run, thats it... No RP, no rez orb... Im assuming you considered that and if they waist a unit of, grey hunters per say to charge 1 unit. Then their not attacking the destroyers.. Or if they over run one unit, they get 60 rapid fire shots from the 2 units of warriors in the area.

ALSO:

Wraiths can have whip coils, which put all models in base to base at initiative 1. Str 6 Rending, 3+ invul def deserves a second look. specially when they most likely will be attacking first. However they have no reanimation...


I def am not knocking your list FYI, play it out and judge the results. Im just throwing out perspectives and possible bumps.

I've thought about wraiths and i really like them just not sure what to cut to give me space for them. The scarabs might get cut as im not running spyders but still needs more play testing before i have my final build. Also not sure how this is going to change with 6th coming out next year.

Maybe a unit of Immortals upgraded to pyrrhian eternals?
just a though, to get the most out of Anrakyr.
