very stable/solid list. looks like something id run. i feel autrach wont be doing much, that reaper luancher wont be puting out enough damage. condier getting a CC weapon, or meybe changing to a laughing seer.

If you have a laughing autarch I'd equip him with a laser lance (think that's what it is) and a fusion gun and go tank hunting. Other than that it looks a good list. Personally I don't like the crimson hunter, if you can't get rid of your opponents anti air it will get rid of your crimson hunter.

well, its a glass cannon. noone expests it to last the turn after it comes in. BUT, it SHOULD take out at least one thing with it. which is why people tkae it.

I like it a lot, but as Bobmcgee says a laser lance is probably a better fit for your Autarch, and personally I'd rather have a couple of war-walkers with the bright lance/scatter laser combo over the Crimson Hunter, but I can see why you'd want it. With those changes you could probably afford an extra biker for each of the two smaller squads too.

The fusion gun + laser lance combo sounds awesome. If they aren't a mech army though or I'm going against a dreadnought he really still can't make much of a dent

Charging a dread he would have 4 attacks and be S6. Most dreads are AV12. Boo :( Well at least the Fusion Gun might do something against them.

Seems like he'd be more light tank hunting with a LL and Fusion Gun. With the fusion gun being the only reliable thing to really hit heavier than transport tanks with. He'd be able to pop transports like Rhinos and RBs pretty well though since those 4 attacks would be hitting at S6 on the rear... But I don't think Mechdar with WS's and Fire Prisms have a problem really opening those.

wait are you seriously saything that you would rather have walkers with BL and scatter lasers over crimson hunter?
2 problems.

1) scatter laser + Bright lance combo is not worth it at all. im assuming you want it there for the TL for the BLs. not smart. Better to have 2BLs on each. vs a flier with scatter and BLs, you get 1 BL hit. when guided, you get 1 BL hit, with a few pitter patter shots that wont do scrach. with all BLs, your getting 1 hit, guided, you get 2.

2) even with the all BLs, your only getting 2 hits vs a flier, when guided. the crimson hunter would get you 3, not guided. for 50 points cheaper.

now im not sayng that war walekrs are bad, just that they arent as god anti air as crimson hunters, which you were implying.

Updated the main list with the new iteration. What do you guys think? Is 2.0 better? Going to have the funds to get more models to upgrade my army from 1k to 1500 soon...
