Im tryin to make a semi competitive all comers list, we don't play with a lot of fliers, so im ok with having little anti air.


Im trying to go on the classic hammer and anvil strategy, with a slight twist.

Looks good, although you're going to need some amazing AA.

The Harlequins and Rangers seem to not fit the speed of the list. I'd suggest dropping them and getting a Crimson Hunter or two. Else, you're entire army deathstar is Heldrake food.

Seer council doesn't really work as a unit anymore now that powers are random.

Why DAs in the Serpents when guardians are superior?

Not convinced you need 2 units of Rangers or in deed any. Jetbikes seem a better choice.

Just 1 unit of dragons makes them an obvious target for anyone that fears them

The quinsI don't get. Warp Spiders are the best thing in the codex and can keep up with the rest of the army. 10 of them would be a much better spend of those points.

partly im trying to use models i own.

I dont see how seer council doesnt work anymore, powers are random but i have 6 chances to get one spell that is needed, if I dont get it ill just use the unit more carefully.

Even in a fast army something has to stay at home and that was the idea behind my rangers, sit on an objective or a building and snipe gak.

I was concerned with the harlequins being too slow, i havnt had a lot of time to go through the codex yet and determine what is better, but i don't have anymore jet bikes, ill have to take another look at warp spiders they seem interesting.

My one unit of fire dragons better damn well be feared, and if they put fire power into that instead of my seer council or harelequins they are gonna regret it, the tank has a 4+ cover save and is there pretty much just to deliver the fire dragons to their death, as well as the death of whatever happens to be infront of them. They arent the suicide unit of old, but they are still good at what they do.

Just some of my rebuttles, im not against the ideas or choices you guys suggested, ill look into them shortly.
