I quite like some of the new Space Wolves models (Murderfang) so I thought I'd try and incorporate all my favorite models into a twin death star list. Fluff be damned!
Eldar
Farseer
- Shard of Ananis
Farseer
Farseer
Spiritseer
10x Harlequins
-10x Kisses, Shadowseer
Grey Knights
10x Paladins
-4x Psycannons, Banner
Space Wolves
Rune Priest
Rune Priest
Murderfang
-Drop pod
Murderfang
-Drop pod
Longfangs
-5x Lascannons, Drop pod
Total: 2000 on the dot
Plan is:
One rune priest with the paladins for Prescience. Other rune priest with long fangs for Prescience. Long fangs' drop pod is just to get both Murderfangs in at the same time.
Farseers and Spiritseer go with Harlequins.
Turn 1, drop pods into ranks to deal some damage. Buy time for paladin and harlequin squad to cover board and get into combat. Long fangs take out any heavy or important targets.
Known weaknesses: small body count, harlequins need psychic support (vulnerable turn 1 if I don't go first), long fangs likely high priority for enemy and will die quick.
Estimated Strengths: Highly resilient once in motion (harlestar has veil, paladins multiple wounds), and if the long fangs/murderfangs have a good first turn, little heavy firepower will be left to hit stars; 4 high priority targets split enemy fire ensuring something survives long enough to hit.
Thoughts?

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

No comments? What about just individual units then? Are paladins still good? Murderfangs? Long fangs?
EDIT: Also dawns on me that I listed Murderfang twice despite him being unique. Ignoring that blunder...

I don't really know how to advise. Myself, and I suspect others, do not play with Unbound and have no experience with this kind of stuff.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

Its just... a strange list. Harlie star is weak, but if you want to run it your running it right.
