Background: This is basically the first army that I'm fielding. My match will be against a friend that has played for a long time, but it's been a number of years since he's played. He'll be fielding Space Wolves.

Onto the list: It's 2000pts so I'm trying to take advantage of the ability to use 2 primary detachements and 2 allied detachments.

Primary Det 1:

Farseer with 4 abilities (roll for invisibility), runes of warding, spirit stones, jetbike, singing spear
warlocks X7 with destructor X5, embolden, enhance, and singing spear X7
614 points

Farseer with doom, fortune, spirit stones, jetbike, singing spear (joins the seer counsil and keeps doom/fortune up)
163 points

jetbikes X3
66 points

jetbikes X3
66 points

---

Primary Det 2:

Karandras
215 points

Striking Scorpions X4 and Exarch with scorpions claw and biting blade
112 points

Pathfinders X5
120 points

(Karandras, scorpions, and pathfinders all have infiltrate and go together to advantage point on the board)

Jetbikes X3
66 Points
(all three jetbike squads stay in reserve)

===

Allied Det 1:

Duke Slisus
150 points

Kabalite Warriors X10
90 points

---

Allied Det 2:
Lelith Hesperax
175 points

Wyches X5 with haywire grenades
60 points

===

Fortification

Aegis Defense Line with quadgun (Duke and Warriors deploy to defense line with Lelith on the quad gun.)
100 points

======================
1997 points for entire army


I'd love to find the points to get the wyches in a vehicle, but otherwise think I like the list a lot.

All advise and pointers welcome. Thanks for the help!

Ive considered doing what you plan with lelith/quadgun but I would prob run an Icarus to save pts and have an inteceptor/skyfire lascannon instead as she gets a 3+ reroll to hit. Its up to you though man. If he's running AV12 flyers the Icarus will probs perform better but if he's running sub-AV12 flyers a quadgun would prob be best.

If you choose to go with the Icarus I would probably try and find the pts to upgrade the warriors with a splinter cannon or even make em into trueborn with shardcarbines. Those shardcarbines coupled with sliscus' bonus to splinter weapons can be deadly for overwatch.

I'll have to look at trueborn.

One way to come up with points that I see is this:

Start with 3 points on the table.
Drop striking scorpions exarch and his upgrades = Recover 32 points
Downgrade quad gun to icarus = Recover 15 points
Downgrade 2 singing spears on warlocks to witchblades = Recover 6 points.

(I could also drop runes of warding since this battle will be against Space Wolves, but even though they have very few psychers, I think I should keep it in case he brings some against me.)

The above three changes give me 56 points to play with. I could get a venom for the wyches, or do something else with it. Or, are those important places to keep those points? Thanks!
