So the game plan. Turn one Mordrak DS w/ ghost knights and libby. Librarian drops homer and uses summoning to tele Raven filled with pallies and a rhino transport full of GKSS. Rhino pops smoke and both Stormraven and Rhino block line of sight. Opponents shooting phase comes around and Librarian activates shrouding giving Stormraven and Rhino 3+ cover save. Hopefully *crosses fingers and prays to dice gods* vehicles survive big dakka dakka at point blank range. Turn two, unload pallies and let loose......

So yeah I have 15 points left....I was thinking of putting it into the libby for 3 Servo Skull's to sorta prevent a first turn alpha strike in my zone not sure though. Also the list gives several possibilities ranging from two 5 man combat squads, turning the 2 GKSS into scouts for outflank w/ rhinos, can turn allow pallies to hold objective turn two, and finally alpha- strikes in general are devastating.

Constructive criticism would be awesome btw

-FIRST POST WOOT

Your tactic is flawed, and is based on false presumptions on your wargear.
1. Teleport homer can only have effect after it has been on the board for a full turn.
2. Librarian can cast summoning ONCE in your turn. So you cannot summon BOTH the stormraven and the rhino.

So I my opinion, summoning is somewhat useless. and so is Warp rift as the strike squads already have them. Why don't you take the ones that will actually help you with combat? (Might of titan, quicksilver?)
And I would drop the homer and the mastery, for another ghost knight for mordrak and some servo skulls. And why only 3 paladins in the raven??? They are most effective when there are 5, and with a librarian, they have a guaranteed 3+ cover save thanks to going flat out and shrouding....

I don't see why summoning can't be caste multiple times. However as the summoning is not arriving via teleport the teleport homer has no baring on it. Which calls into question why you'd take either. You have to deepstrike within 6" of the Libbies unit and can't use anyting to reduce that scatter so your chances of misshap are very high particularly if you decide the caste the power a 2nd time.

This is a common miss-conception but the homer and summoning do not work together making the later almost entirely pointless except as a desperation or shot to nothing move.

This is not an alphastrike it is a suicide mission. Yes you can block line of sight with the rhino but not the Storm Raven it is too high. And you seem to think your opponent won't assault you or move and if you dump this nice gift in his lap I imagine he'll galdly do both. An alpha strike relies on doing devastating damage before your opponent can respond. You're doing no damage and just gift wrapping your army to him (and potentially killing a large chunk of it for him) and doing no damage to him before he can do the maximum amount of damage to you as you're army is in full range.

If you want the turn 2 shock and awe attack, why not just take 3 Storm Ravens with a Libby to give shrouding. Turbo boost 24" turn 1 and then unload death in your opponents face turn 2...

Ohhh okay thanks, yeah i was never sure if the homer needed to be on the field for a full turn or if i could just drop it before all psychic powers activated.
