What a task, building a list with the garbage Nephilim Jetfighter..2 of them.

HQ- Warlord, Librarian terminator LVL 2 force axe

Elite- death wing knights

Troops- 5 shotgun scouts w/ melta bomb
5 scouts, 4 sniper rifles 1 ML
10 Tacmarines p cannon
10 Tacmarines heavy bolter
10 Tacmarines w/ flamer & heavy bolter m. Bombs (combat squad)

Fast- 2 Nephilim Jetfighter w/ mega bolter
5 black knights w/ m. Bombs

Heavy- 2 whirlwinds w/ HK missiles
Devastator squad w/ 2 lascannons, 2 ML 1 has flakk

I don't have a ton of DA. My core is 2 nephilims and 2 whirlwinds

Better hope your opponent isn't fearless with skyfire..... (just don't play daemons and you'll be fine)

Scouts are looking mean. It seems your core tactic is to keep your opponent busy by skirmishing his troops with your jets, while snipers, shotguns and bolters cut through their ranks, maybe deepstrike those deathwing in, to catch him off guard?

Could work really well ( I would love to see that match)

I recommend adding a drop pod to your tac marines. Free upgrade (if memory serves) and it comes in first turn.
Great to really put pressure on his troops.
A venerable dreadnought wouldn't be bad in there either, but since you are using a flyer oriented list, don't worry about it.
Good luck!

Nephilim are not garbage, they are overcosted, big differences.

I like to run 2 myself, both with mega bolters, firing 7 str6 shots and 3 str5 can deal with most lights transports and infantry.

Make sure to fire it at transports though as they hit side armour and swap weapon destroyed for immobilized, this can make a bit of a difference against guard and the like.

Turn 1 for your ground troops.should be to silence any quad gun or Aa they may have, as the sheer amount of shot a.neph can pump out can fool people into actually shooting them

I look at the mega bolter with excitement, then think about most light armor (in my meta) is AV12 being wave serpents. However, hardly any other person is even fielding vehicles. I may drop LRC since I get to death wing assault first turn anyhow, I still have a turn 2 assault.

Thanks for the input, overpriced indeed. Such a cool model

Was able to add more scoring and lots more fire power from multiple units. I look forward to trying
