What do you guys think.... It's for a friendly tournament that allows no fortifications but everyone gets a free quad gun. Also no data sheets or formations or lords of war. I tried to keep with the Jetbike theme as much as possible.

If everybody gets a free quad gun, maybe some rangers to shoot it? Unless it can auto fire...which is ok stock I suppose.

Instead of 4 man jetbike squads, make a squad of 6 and 2 squads of 3. Gets a second cannon in the squad of 6, and you can still take warlocks on each if your into that, although you probably only need one on the big squad.

Like the cheap and dirty vypers, but I don't find them durable enough to warrant holo fields. Just use em for cheap and dakka. Maybe a scatter on top, or a starcannon, but dual shuri is great too.

Your autarch is a bit bloated. The shard and gem are nice for combat, but he can still be easily shot down or killed. Maybe drop the shard and just take a lance. It is actually stronger on the charge with reliable AP. Better for taking out rank and file-The autarch has no business challenging any big nasty baddie.

Your list is hard to read. Remove all of the standard equipment. At least half of what you posted is just clutter and only gets in the way of understanding your list.

Here's what I mean. You listed:

The only thing that you should include in your list is this:

78pts = Windrider x4, Shuriken Cannon



That's it. List what models and what upgrades.

Sry used battle scribe and it's text format is annoying will edit when I can...

Vs shooting the autarch has a 2+ jink save that is re-rollable due to the mantle

Love your list!

I run my autarch in a similar fashion, which come with my recommendations. I've load him out and skinned him bare the best way I feel to run him is- bike, banshee mask, lance, shard, and mantle.

One thing I would consider is adding more troops or at least possible objective controlling units. Bikes are great, but they die just as easily as regular guardians.

Personally at your point level I would run 4-5 troops, but that's just my opinion though. Also with the free quad the crimson hunter might feel a little obsolete just a consideration.

The list you've developed looks great and I can see you doing well played right. Just remember with low scoring units to target prioritize and reserve cautiously.

Thx for the comments everyone!! Played a test with this list last night lots I fun left a lot in reserve and hid out of sight first turn tabled my opponent who played grey knights!!!

so this list has worked wonders for me so far!!! it has beaten CSM and two very tough Tau lists. I must say that I love the mobility of this style of list.

umm not really. i think you mean: "Bikes are geat, but they die as easy as regular gardians that have 3+ armor, toughness 4, a 5+ cover save, and the ability to jump back into cover in the assault phase." In that case then yes they would die as easily as gardians. the better comparison it to space marines.

Space marines with rending guns and a 3+ cover a majority of the time!!!

exactly
