Trying to design a list that can be annoying, kill the killiest bitsof my enemy's army, but most importantly: be around to score at the end.

Farseer (Jetbike, Mantle, Runes of Witnessing, Shard Of Anaris)
Farseer (Jetbike, Spirit Stone, Singing Spear, Runes of Witnessing)
Baron Sathonyx

(These guys go together like a mini seer council)

5 Dire Avengers (Wave Serpent - holofields, scatter laser)

6 Swooping Hawks

Wraithknight

Obviously it struggles in Purge, but otherwise my plan is to win secondary missions (tac obs) and be around with more obsec units at the end of turn 5/6 to win objective based games.

Thoughts?

I feel a good player would ignore the waveserpents and just focus on dropping all the 4 jetbike squads. your right tho it is alot of troops but iam just not sure if they would be able to hold objectives for long. drop pods could really make it hard for you, depending on terrain ect.

I guess your hoping the wraithknight will take alot of the fire away from them tho.

Well I'd expect to lose the four Jetbike squads. That still leaves me with 8 objective secure units (4 units and 4 obsec fast skimmers) and the swooping hawks with no scatter deep strike and jump MC wraithknight can all potentially score at the end too. The wave serpents can do a fair bit of killing, though it's definitely not the most killy list I've ever done.

Put of interest, how do you imagine a game vs drop pods going? I've got a lot of jink, so if been more worried about armies that deny cover in a major way...

I have only played a few drop pod armies and thos where salamanders and ultramarines. iv ran jet bikes before but against sternguard or tau i find 3 man squads just not standing up. and once some one puts a squad of strnguard and a dread in your back lines turn one..

Still thats just based off my local metta.

Interesting. I'd almost be happy to feed my opponents things other than the wave serpents. Their job is to be on objectives turn 5/6 and last till then.
