Upcoming "Progression" league game (can't call it "escalation" anymore).

Force Org Chart is normal, only restriction is no Flyers.

Which of these lists would be more viable?


"Cyrus" (Wrecking Ball):

+ HQ +
* Destroyer Lord (Mindshackle Scarabs, Sempiternal Weave, Tachyon Arrow, Warscythe)

+ Elites +
* 5x Deathmarks

+ Troops +
* 7x Immortals
* 5x Warriors
* 5x Warriors

+ Fast Attack +
* 6x Canoptek Scarabs
* 5x Canoptek Wraiths (2x Whip Coils)

+ Heavy Support +
* Annihilation Barge
* Annihilation Barge

(D.Lord has an Arrow for hopeful lucky First Blood against a vehicle. Scarabs run the rest of the anti-AV department, or tarpit. Wraiths + D.Lord smash things. Only major downside is lack of transport for troops)


"Rambo" (First Blood):

+ HQ +
* Overlord (Sempiternal Weave, Staff of Light)
* Harbinger of Destruction (Solar Pulse)
* Harbinger of Despair (Nightmare Shroud, Veil of Darkness)
* Harbinger of the Storm
* Harbinger of the Storm

+ Elites +
* 5x Deathmarks
* 5x Deathmarks

+ Troops +
* 6x Immortals
* 5x Warriors (Ghost Ark)
* 5x Necron Warriors

+ Heavy Support +
* Annihilation Barge
* Annihilation Barge

(Storm-teks Veil over behind enemy vehicle turn one, hopefully netting me First Blood (possibly also making something run off the table). Overlord tanks for the Immortals, and the Destruct-tek joins the Warriors in the Ark. Could potentially replace the all of Deathmarks with 5x Destroyers to murder MEQs, but that would leave me vulnerable against MCs)

the 2nd one the :Rambo (first blood) defintly sounds better

It's definitely the safer one... should I keep the Deathmarks, or switch them out for Destroyers?
