I have a 2500 point tournament coming up in Seattle on the 28th.

The list it is CC oriented with a decent amount of shooting. I like the different threats the list gives and with some deepstrking to it it packs a lot of punch- counter punch.

List one is with the stormlord.( I am not a big fan of this guy but he lets me get to where I need to be, with the chance of extra damage.) I have a veil for the storm and a warrior unit to bounce around if need be.

Stormlord
D. Lord S.Weave, Mind scarabs, res orb

Harbinger of dispair: veil of darkness
Harbinger of Destruction:
Harbinger of Destruction:
Lord War-scythe , Mscarabs, S weave, res orb

7 x Lychguards Sword and Board
8 x Triarch Praetorians

5 x Warrior
9 x Warriors
15x Warriors

I believe the points are right.

Alls good..? Any thoughts about what list this would have trouble with?

I'd consider dropping the praetorians for more lychguard, maybe get a scythe unit and a sword and board unit.

I'd also recommend finding points for a solar pulse, if you activate it on your turn you can negate your night fighting, and use your shooting to full effect, soften up those units your wraiths might be given pause by.

I'd also consider running immotek with a squad of lychguard with the veil cryptek, as the wraiths close into assault, veil them in, and slaughter everything you can get your hands on.

If you do drop the lychguard, maybe grab a second unit of lychguard with veils, you should have all your wraiths and lychguard in assault hopefully by the end of turn two, mostly intact due to night fighting.

Let the warriors deal with objectives and walk.

Having a second unit of lychguard would be nice. I be giving up the mobility the Praetorian provides. Deepstriking them in the backfield to take out scoring units, and long fangs.

Dont Solar pulse with Stormlord....it negates lightning strikes. A more valuable piece of wargear would be Chrono...but I dont think it is worth squeezing in with your list.


Im most worried about how you deal with Armor 14, I dont think 10 scarbs will get there and the only other scary thing is warscythe hits.


More objective holders would be nice...in an objective game a smart oppt will just try to wipe your troops, which will not be hard in 2500 pts.

Land raiders usually come to the scarabs. Otherwise a 3+/2+ pulse save tell they are needed counters Armor14 just fine.

I have yet to lose all of my troops. usually i have one untouched by games end if not 2.

My opponent is usually to busy save his own units to deal with killing mine tell turn 5 by then its to late.
I like to have a night scythe in the list to be a little more mobile with a unit of warriors but i may have to go ghost ark tell the model comes out.

If you play a good player in an objectives gave they will gladly loose a LR or 2 to wipe your troops....You will def need something to make your troops section more resilient since 2/3 of missions are objectives.
