One thing I have to potentially face that has given me great concern (and made me come up with these fairly off-the-wall lists compared to my normal noisemarine, spawn, maulerfiend lists) is a 3-wraithknight list.

And I just got my belakor model. So which list do you think will perform better in an all-comers tournament, with the possibility of facing a 3-wraithknight list?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Do people generally allow the commander to join a riptide, since it could be a 3-model unit or not, since it can only be a single riptide unit?

Well, in the first list the Biker HQ seems to be on his own. Not a good prospect.
In the second list, the Daemonettes are fluffy but not very durable.

Second list, it's glaringly apparent to me that you don't have fatey. I strongly recommend losing one prince for fateweaver.

Second list is decent enough. First list lacks synergy.

XXXX

Second list. But maybe more troops would be even better?

Oh I don't ever use fateweaver. He doesn't have the mark of slaanesh.

First list biker goes with cultists. Bike is just for toughness and to charge off if needed to go contest or fight.

I've debated in the second list finding ten points to take a portal glyph, do you think that's a good idea?
