Hi all.

Down here a pretty simple Venom spam tournament list with the addition of a tooled Farseer and a basic unit of Pathfinders.

I would like to receive C/C regarding the list:
- pure competitiveness;
- aesthetical/appeal caracteristics.

I will build/paint and consequentely sell this list and I'm obviously looking to realise not only beautiful models but something interesting for pro/competitive players unable to prepare their own models.

In my mind both HQ will join the Hellions unit. Obviously to supply ablative wounds for the Farseer (that will even gain Stealth+Grenades from Sathonyx). Besides, If really in big big troubles they all toghether would be able to Hit and Run enemy IC and take care of them far from support enemy units.

Obviously, the Farseer will exchange all his powers with Divination / Biomancy / Telepathy spells.


What do you think guys?

Drop the flickerfields on the ravagers, as jink does the same thing most of the time. Correct deployment and possible night fight means you need no worry about no saves first turn. The baron helps you go first anyways...
Get more hellions with the points.

what did you put on the trueborn

How do you plan on killing tanks? 3 Ravagers? I'm guessing the Trueborn have Blasters as well?

How do you deal with flyers? Cross your fingers and pray?

Not sure if I like the Farseer with Hellions. I like him much better on foot with Pathfinders (dropping Eldritch Storm and Mind War)...or else on a jetbike with guardian jetbikes as troops. Two 3-man jetbike squads are only 132, and their range of movement is really nice for capturing/challenging objectives.

I don't know the points, but I'd consider dropping a Ravager and a Trueborne Squad/Venom and replacing them with an Aegis line with Quad Gun and a Razorwing. The Razorwings are beautiful models,and give you some nice benefits against flyers, armor or infantry. If you use Pathfinders, put them behind the wall with the Farseer.

I've never found a Stunclaw is all that useful. I'd go with a Venom Blade, an Agonizer, or even a blast pisol.

heres sum changes i would make, i kept with your kabalite theme, but i would consider taking a couple of 5 man squads of wyches in venoms just with haywire grenades on the wyches for sum AA, but heres what i have changed;
