The first thing I know what's wrong with this list is light on scoring units. I'm hoping that the BT can throw down the portalglyph behind and Aegis and produce some scoring units here or there. Our local meta is pretty diverse, but nothing I would call OP or hyper competitive. I'm basically aiming for a turn 2 hurt-fest with at least 1 heldrake showing up plus the BT, forgefiend and spawn rolling up a flank or up the midde (opponent dependent). I know that two heldrakes plus spawn is not terribly creative but I've never tried this type of army before, I'm mostly a nurgle man. But a neat paint scheme prompted me to build a non-nurgle army. Constructive criticism welcome.

Batrep to come after the tourney.

I would get a community relay instead of Icarus. I would get a lesser and musician on the bloodletters for the ap2 as well as reserve them and bring in the thirsted with them.

Also should be in army list instead of tactIcs

Good call on where this actually belongs, If a mod can delete or move this I'd appreciate it. I have a somewhat similar post in lists, though that one is more Adepticon oriented.
