Hi i'm new to DZC and I was thinking of buying the Hawkwargames.co.uk Scourge 2500 point Army Deal, the problem is the army list. I know the way they say to set out the army but I tweeked it a bit and I don't know if my way will work better or worse as I know nothing about the game - i'm a complete nube

This is their way:

Clash: 2498/2500 points
Standard Roster [2498/2500 pts]

Oppressors [383 pts]
Desolator: Desolator(Master) [225 pts]
Reaper Squad: 3x Reaper, Marauder [158 pts]

Vanguard [450 pts]
Hunter Squad: 6x Hunter, 2x Marauder [292 pts]
Reaper Squad: 3x Reaper, Marauder [158 pts]

Warriors [402 pts]
Warrior Horde: 3x Warriors, Marauder, 2x Invader [156 pts]
^ Sharing ^ Warrior Horde: 3x Warriors [81 pts]
Annihilator: Annihilator [165 pts]

Warriors [296 pts]
Warrior Horde: 2x Warriors, Intruder Alpha [94 pts]
Warrior Horde: 2x Warriors, Intruder Alpha [94 pts]
Reavers: 2x Reaver [108 pts]

Occupation Patrol [380 pts]
Prowlers: 8x Prowler, 2x Intruder Beta [120 pts]
Destroyers: 2x Destroyers, Intruder Alpha [130 pts]
Destroyers: 2x Destroyers, Intruder Alpha [130 pts]

Invasion Host [451 pts]
Slayer Squad: 3x Slayer, Slayer(+Razorworms), Despoiler(+Twin Plasma Cannons) [343 pts]
^ Sharing ^ Tormentor Squad: 2x Tormentor [108 pts]

Attack Swarm [136 pts]
Corsairs: 2x Corsair [136 pts]

And this is what I was thinking:
Clash: 2492/2500 points

First Army List (Standard Roster) [2492/2500 pts]

Oppressors [485 pts]
Desolator: Desolator(Overlord) [260 pts]

^ Sharing ^ Tormentor Squad: 2x Tormentor [108 pts]

Attack Swarm [136 pts]

Make sure these army deals reflect the huge pricing changes now that they have plastic versions of the starter sets which are drastically cheaper, and thus should make these deals cheaper as well.

Otherwise, the price difference is so much that you might be better off buying the core stuff via those plastic starters, and buying the extras separately.

Even with the decreased price of the models that are plastic the price of buying all the models separately would be £233.00 versus buying the army deal for £185, but thank you for telling me I had no idea their was such a price difference for different models.

Now I just have to figure out my army list.

My suggestion would be to use the 6 Hunter, 3 Reaper in a Despoiler setup for one of your battlegroups and not split up squads in drive on Invaders and have them use a dropship. I'm of two minds of large heavy tank squads, so I can only really suggest two Heavies in a Marauder and not the Despoiler. Eggs in one basket and all that.
