Imotekh and the warscythe lord go together in the 20 man warrior blob. 14 man warriors have a lord each with them and go in a nightscythe each. The cryptek will go with the 20 man blob


The general plan for this list is to overwhelm the enemy down one section/flank of the table in the same way a DE/eldar army typically plays


Units/models with a + before their name start on the board. Units/models with a - Deep Strike

C&C welcomed

Looks like a fun and fluffy list.

Just a few thoughts:

• I see you have a Lord and a Cryptek in the same unit. The general consensus is that you can only have 1 member of a Royal Court split into another unit. If you have a second Royal Court, then you're fine.

• I find Lords far too expensive for what they do. They only have 1 wound and are sub-par in combat. Yes, Mind Shackle Scarabs and the Res Orb are great, but why not just have an Overlord equipped with those instead?

• I foresee your list having a hard time against melee oriented armies. If you plop your warriors in front of one, you are heavily relying on those mass str 4 shots to take out the entire threat radius. Once a dedicated assault unit makes into combat with them... it's a downhill battle from there. If you lose combat by 4 and take a moral test.... well... chances are you will be falling back and all the points you spent on Res Orbs and Lords will be a waste.

• Your Deathmarks would benefit greatly with a Despair Cryptek. An ap 1 flame template that wounds on 2's is awesome. (against units that are marked for death)

EDIT: Also, with the new FAQ that just came out, you can no longer Deep Strike your Night Scythes (if that was your intent). No big deal, just fly them on.

What he said- with one note-

No scythe on your overlord? why not? at 10 points for one of the nastiest CC weapons in the game?

I don't actually have an overlord there. However, thinking it over, I should/need to upgrade my scythe lord to an overlord to make it all work putting me over points by 54 points

any thoughts on how to make these up?

Drop 3 Deathmarks and move the remaining 2 to the other unit?

I say drop the Lord that would go with Imo completely and turn him into a chronotek. Trust me, I've run a lot of Imo in the last year and a half and you get so much more mileage out of both his nightfighting as well as his resiliency upgrades with a Chrono. I know it means sacking the Res Orb, but I think it's worth it.

With the savings you could get WSs for the other two Lords. Personally with the way you are running those units in Night Scythes I would recommend Tesla Immortals over Warriors, but you may already have the models for the Warriors.

yeah the main reason i've gone for warriors is because I've got 56 of them
