Hi there,

Entering first tournament (just for a laugh, and the opportunity to play loads of games in one weekend - I am very new to the game). So what would be brilliant would be if people could outline WHY with suggestions, rather than just swap x for y. If you are able to do that it would be very helpful in trying to understand why people do or don't like certain things. THANKS!

6 x wraiths (4 w coils)


2 x annihilation barges

1 x Doomsday Ark
(park this away from backfield objectives, do some initial damage to valuable units, give him something other than the wriaths to go after turn one, I know everyone hates them and I do have a D Scythe too)

Thanks for your feedback

Well, I'd start from the following core list:

D Lord (MSS, Semp Weave)

10 immortals (night scythe)

10 warriors (night scythe)

10 warriors (night scythe)

6 x wraiths

2 x annihilation barges

1 x Doom Scythe

I prefer larger troop units since they have a higher impact. I'd drop the Doom * and add another Annihilation Barge. It would be useful to add more Wraiths. Whip coils are not a must-have since weapons that hurt most are initiative 1 anyway.
