Using the new book I started toying with some lists. Here's a concept using the realspace raid detachment.

HQ
Haemy - 70pts

ELITES
5 Grotesques - 245pts
- Raider with night shields

4 Grotesques - 210pts
- Raider with Night shields

TROOPS
3x 5 Warriors - 135(405pts)
- Blaster, venom with splinter cannon, night shield.

FAST
4x 5 scourges - 120pts (480pts)
- 4 haywire blasters each

2x Razorwing fighter - 155pts (310pts)
- Dark Lances, night shields

HEAVY
Talos - 130pts
- Haywire blaster

TOTAL: 1850pts

Grots dropped from Very Bulky to Bulky. Nice catch.


I'm not sure about a unit of Grots without an IC attached. That low leadership can kill you. Maybe swap them for more Haywire Taloi?

Other then that though I think it's a nice start.

Just checked the Ld, 3? Really? At least they got rid of that rule where they spaz out and are removed. The one with the Haemy is okay, so drop the other and add 2 other talos

Look through the vehicle equipment again. Venoms cant take night shields.

Well that frees up some points and makes the dex worse.

My main points have been covered (Grots with no IC = fail) and no night shields on Venoms. I really like the Talos in the new dex but it looks out of place in this list. It is very slow where everything is fast.

Also I would consider dropping a Grotesque from the unit, having 4 models total is the magic number as it helps you get rampage against the very common 5 min unit size. Meaning you get 15-21 attacks on the charge (average 18) instead of 16.

If you want some independent CC support for the Grots units how about the vastly improved Incubi? A unit of 3 with klaivex and demiklaives in a Venom is just 150 points and pumps out upto 13 Ap2 attacks on the charge! With the points saved on Night shields and the 5 Grot unit you could get 2 of these throw away distraction incubi units that will kill something if not dealt with.

Though I'm about to post my list and check out my FA slots... Great minds and all.
