Hello,

Please provide suggestions on the below list. I'm hoping this would do well with the book missions as well as being an all-comers list.

I'm not certain of the meta of everyone attending, but I have seen the following played there.

Tau (seen lists with 2 and 3 riptides in 1250..)
Orks
Tyranid
DA (Ravenwing and Deathwing)
CSM
GK
Space Wolves
Eldar

I don't attend very often so there may be other armies being played I'm not aware of.

1250 Pts

1 Autarch
. . 1 Autarch - Banshee Mask; Fusion Gun; Warp Jump Generators

5 Dire Avengers
. . 5 Dire Avengers
. . 1 Wave Serpent - TL Scatter Lasers; Shuriken Cannon

Good list but those DA's are way to squishy in squads of 5. You need 8 at the very least. I suggest you forget the DA's and their wave serpent and get that squad of Warp spiders up to 10 and give the autarch a jetbike instead of the jump generator. No need for Ghostwalk matrix on skimmers(Serpents)

So this is what i think it should look like:

HQ
Autarch w/EJB, Banshee Mask, Fusion gun, Laser lance

Troops
6 EJB's w/2 Shuriken Cannons

6 EJB's w/2 Shuriken Cannons

Elites
5 Fire Dragons
>Wave Serpent w/TL Scatter Laser, Shuriken Cannon, Holo Fields

Fast Attack
5 Swooping Hawks, 1 Exarch w/Sunrifle

9 Warp Spiders, 1 Exarch w/Spinneret Rifle, Fast Shot

Heavy Support
Fire Prism w/Holo Fields

Fire Prism w/Holo Fields

Total: 1235

Good luck with whatever you choose!!!

You do whatever with the 15pts spare

The Twilight Zone

The dire avengers are just there to unlock the wave serpent, and will never leave it except to score or if it is shot out from under them. Even 5 avengers can do considerable damage with rending guns and battle focus.

Agree about putting the autarch on a bike. The warp jump generator is just too risky, the bike is just too awesome.

Sad you can't get holo fields on all your skimmers, they would be nice, but you would have to drop something to get them.

Turn the ghostwalk matrix into a shuricannon for the dragonwagon. Also, the dragons seem a bit much, as 2 prisms should handle the heavy AT you will see at this points level. You also have hawks and a fusion gun on your autarch. S6 spam covers most armor, and the spiders are S7 so your fine on AT.

The most important rule of 40K-Page XVII of the 6th edition rulebook, the figure at the top right of the page. "Shake hands with your opponent and thank them for a good battle and fun experience." Then go out for a beer.

Agreed with the dragons. You hav enough anti tank, the dragons are a little but over kill. I would just use 5 dire avengers, and a serpent to gunboat. I would also consider making autrach into a far seer, I think it would synergise better with the jet bikes.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!!

@Da Epic Pegasus: The DA are there just to unlock the Wave Serpent. The Wave serpent is too good to not have at least 1 on the field in my opinion. It has been the bullet magnet whenever I don't take a Wraithknight. I like your idea about maxing out the spiders, but don't understand why the spinnet rifle. Could you please enlighten me? Also, what would the autarch on the bike provide?

@Dr Serling: As suggested by Da Epic Pegasus and youself, I have removed the Fire Dragons.

@ninjfiredragon: Are you suggesting to turn the Fire Dragons into another DAVU? I like the idea of the synergy.

Question that I should probably know the answer to, but I don't. Would Conceal work on the wave serpent if the warlock is attached to a unit inside the wave serpent?

Here is the list at the moment. I exchanged the Fire Dragons and their wave serpent.

Solid new list. Little bit lacking in AA, but in such small points you should be good
