Played two games yesterday, won 1, lost 1. List preformed Ideal(Loss was against triple riptideTau) the never dieing warriors+scarabs ran forwards absorbed shots. Heavy Ds slaughtered. I'll probably switch out the Phase Shifther on the Overlord for a Veil for the mobility mid to late game. BTW Crypteks join large warriors Stalker follows with Ds Ghost ark takes a flank overlord and Warlord Cryptek take other charge everythingnelse down middle except stalkers and Ds

Have fun wih that mess of text. Flyers were my biggest problem, other than riptides....
Just wanted Dakkas opinion.

Do you have a second ghost ark to toy with? You could shift those 15 and 14 man squads into one squad of 20. Then you could accompany the 20 man group with 2d3 healing from the escorting gunboats for a solid phalanx.

Solid! Then I could drop a cryptek and would have some points to play with too. Also getting rid of the Particle Shredder for a Heat Ray.

You should run 9 scarabs instead of 6.

To further the 20man blob idea... I'm thinking you should put the 20warrior blob in the CAD along with a Ghost Ark with 10 Warriors. While the Phalanx takes another Ghost Ark with 10 warriors. The overlord should attach to the 20man blob along with a Cyptek.

This way, the 20man blob can tank wounds for your Overlord while he continuously spawns sacrificial Scarabs. If a melee unit gets too close (you're not immune to being swept afterall) then the Phalanx Warrior squad can jump out of their Ghost Ark and charge the unit (Hurray open-topped transports). If those Warriors are wiped out then you can simply respawn them. Just remember that the warriors can not shoot before charging due to rapid fire rules.

Alright new list.

To my mind your overlord needs to be much harder to kill. That way he can keep resing those suicide warriors and scarabs. The formation's ruleset is probably the most broken rule in the game right now. Don't let him die. Give him 2+ armour and 4++ invincible. Stick him with a cryptek for 4+++ ressing. And ensure he's not with his 'own' warriors so he won't die with them.

The 2+ armor is to expensive(and not worth it IMO), and I messed with it and couldnt fit a phaseshifter in without stripping a couple warriors or a scarab. And the overlord will be buried in a unit of 20 warriors with a cryptek and two ghost arks soooo hopefully he wont die. Unless I face the dude whos running corsairs with a lynx AND a Wraithknight at 1500.
