Devastating Dark Reaper




Worcester

Hello there! The context for this army is that myself and three friends will be having a 2v2 but we do not know who we will be paired up with. So, one player is playing Khorne Daemonkin and the other two are Ork players (one of whom has 2 Stompas - just to keep in mind...)

I like the fast based style of play with Eldar (what isn't fast with them though!) So my lists tend to be gravitated towards Bikes and Knights. But at the same time there is some cool nestalgic twists I like to make in my lists to make it slightly less competative for the good of a fun game. So I will give two lists and I would love it if you guys had suggestions on how you would change the list of tweak things to keep some aspects of fun but still pack a punch to make my team-mate happy!

Just for info: I don't think we will be using the Death from the Skies Rules.

List One:

1st CAD
- Autarch - Warp Jump Generator, Shard of Anaris, Fusion Gun, Mandiblasters - 140 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- Crimson Hunter Exarch with Brightlances - 160 pts
- Hornet with 2 Pulse Lasers - 80 pts
- Hornet with 2 Pulse Lasers - 80 pts
- Wraithknight with Sword and Board - 295 pts

2nd CAD
- Farseer on Skyrunner with Spirit Stones of Anath'lan - 130 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- Skathach Wraithknight with 2 Deathshroud Cannons - 315 points

Aspect Host Formation
- 5 Dark Reapers with Starshot Missiles, the exarch has an Eldar Missile launcher (not sure which is better, that or the Tempest Launcher?)
- 6 Swooping Hawks
- 8 Warp Spiders, the exarch has Spinneret Rifle. (I could swap this out for the Sunrifle for the Hawks for that Blinding potential?)

Total 1999 pts


List Two:

1st CAD
- Autarch - Warp Jump Generator, Fusion Gun - 90 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- Hornet with 2 Pulse Lasers - 80 pts
- Hornet with 2 Pulse Lasers - 80 pts
- Avatar of Khaine - 195 (because I just got the FW model and if I get paired with Demons it would be pretty cool)

2nd CAD
- Farseer on Skyrunner with Spirit Stones of Anath'lan - 130 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- 3 Windriders with Scatter Lasers - 81 pts
- Skathach Wraithknight with 2 Deathshroud Cannons - 315 points

Aspect Host Formation
- 4 Dark Reapers - 115 pts
- 6 Swooping Hawks - 106 pts
- 6 Warp Spiders - 105 pts

Crimson Death Formation
- Crimson Hunter Exarch with Brightlances - 160 pts
- Crimson Hunter with Brightlances - 140 pts
- Crimson Hunter with Brightlances - 140 pts

Total 1999 pts

Well. Basically two wraithknights is better. But I like the Crimson hunter formation a lot too. Wonder if you could do a list with Crimson hunter and both CADs with out the aspect host? In my experience you won't achieve much with that. Spiders work better en masse and Hawks aren't nearly as good with the grenade FAQ.

The reaper exarch is 100% better with the tempest launcher. Just deletes bikes and spiders.

Another thought would be base it around a windrider host , 1 wraithknight (I would keep the shield) mandatory vypers could be configured with bright lances or kept cheap with scatter lasers.and then add the crimson death. Then add a CAD with an autarch 2 bikes and 2 or 3 hornets. +1 to bring in reserves. I think the aspect warriors are cool but dilute from your force


without thr asspects you might be able to do two wraiths and the crimson death. Also look at the hemlock level 2 psycher and 2 D weapons...
