The idea behind this list was that haywire grenades are INSANE at wrecking tanks now, so the wyches are my oober av hunters/objective holders/tarpit units, and the Haemonculi's will help give them a little more troop killiness and survivablilty. The raiders i was thinking about switching out the DL for DC to help out with the anti-infantry. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

What do you plan to do when you face a not completely mechanised list...? Also, 5 wyches is the ideal number for tank wrecking, you throw one during shooting phrase, you should have a good chance at taking 1 HP, charge it next, you should get 3 HP off right away. Moving vehicles are only WS1, regardless of speed, and stationary vehicles are your same old auto hit.

Flickerfield is fairly pointless this edition, main use being that if you lost 1st turn, didn't roll on night fighting, your vehicles can stand a better chance, also that you get a save against the horrifying assault. You get a 5+ jink save for moving, and there is hardly any reason to not move.

I think it would be interesting....but not a fan at all.

I would prob go 6x 5 wyches with nades in a venom if you want them for that. Their CC got a beat down in 6th so your not going to win many battles there, you have no fire power from the raiders, plus if you vs anyone that is not bring 9 tanks to a game you have lost turn 1.

ya i havent actually tried this list and certainly wouldnt in serious game im just so sick of venom spam and GW made webway portals totally useless now, i thought why not use haywire spam
