Trying to take advantage of the flyers in 6th ed i came up with this, not sure about it but thought it was worth getting advice

Sorry for the weird format...
I wrote it weirdly too

Dedicated transports:
Night scythe = 100pts
Night scythe = 100pts
Night scythe = 100pts
Night scythe = 100pts
Night scythe = 100pts
Night scythe = 100pts

Heavy Support:
Monolith = 200pts

Troops:
14 warriors = 182pts
14 warriors = 182pts
7 immortals = 85pts
6 immortals = 85pts
6 immortals = 85pts

Elites:
10 deathmarks = 190pts

HQ:
Anrakyr the traveller = 165pts
2 lords with resurrection orbs = 130pts

The Night scythe spam works, but you could free up lots of points by dropping your squads within to something smaller, with them in transports, they'll be safer.

Get a despairtek to go with your deathmarks, a flamer that wounds on 2+, and is AP1 is disgustingly powerful

Monolith seems a bit out of place in this list, and I would drop the orb lords, and pick up perhaps Annihilation barges (MORE TESLA DESTRUCTORS!)

The lords were for the warriors to help them stay up and do youmeanhave smaller warior squads and take more teks???

The monolith is for when the units go into reserve so they dont have to walk across the board... again!

Thanks for advice by the way!

Hm, thats a good idea, keep the monolith then
I would still reduce the size of the troop squads some, drop the lord, pick up a despairtek for the deathmark synergy, and then maybe use the leftover points to get Arankyr a CCB and get 2 annihilation barges.

Revised the list

Hey

Not sure how i feel about this one. Flyers are strong, dont get me wrong, but what with the chaos dragon coming out soon, i dont think THAT many are a good idea. Another thing you run into is crowded airspace. If you are facing a horde army, that covers his side of the board (guard, orks, nids), and you have 7-9 flyers, you might get 1 turn of shooting out of them before they have to turbo off the board. if you roll crappy on your reserve and he can spread out enough, he might be able to make it so your flyers cant come back because there is no room for their base!

Also, ive never used the deathmarks. I just think that gauss or tesla immortals are a better buy. Plus, in the current metagame, troop choices are a must.

Check out my other list if you want, you will probably prefer it!

From what it looks like you will lose every game you play, not because the list is bad but it appears 90% of your army starts in reserve. Idk what your doing with the monolith but if it is also in reserve you are sure done for because the FAQ states if you have no units on the board at the start of your turn you automatically lose. Flyer spam is very effective but a single monolith probably will not survive a storm of shots until turn two.

which faq is this???

6 th edition FAQ Pg 7 talks about flyers and the lack of units on the board.
