 Harbinger of Despair (With Deathmarks)

Total 1745pts

Any help would be amazing.

The list looks good. The only thing I'd suggest is that you should consider getting weave for the overlord.

In that configuration, consider taking Zandhrek instead of the overlord (normally you just counts as) because Z is awesome, and his special rules help to both penalise the enemy plus buff your units.

Cool thank you for the advice, I'll have a look at Zandhrek.

I was thinking of adding a doomsday ark, I know some people do not rate them. But now everything captures objectives, the ark could capture back field objective plus it'll give my some much need AP1.

Why do you need AP1 specifically? You don't need it for vehicles, so unless you are in a terminator heavy meta the AB are better.

Doomsday arks can be awesome, but I've tended to find that you only get a couple of shots. Really, you need them in pairs, plus if you then give them Stalker support (to twin link), then you are really talking!!

This list looks pretty good already. I was just wonderng if you meant 15 warriors in a night scythe because a Ghost Ark can fit only 10, I believe. Or maybe you meant 20 warriors in 2 Ghost Arks?

The warriors are walking with the Overlord. The GA just floats around being annoying and replacing dead warriors.

Ah yes. I keep forgeting you dont have to be embarked in your transport. My bad.

A though if you have 20 warriors, would you consider all embarked on GA? They would get more mobility and the GA is a pretty hardy transport. By being on foot you are a little more exposed to shooting. Whereas on the GA you will not lose shooting capability.
