Hello! This list is for an upcoming highlander tournament. Criticism appreciated!

In this format you can not duplicate any unit in your army except for troops and that's only if you take 1 of each available troop first. So to get 2 units of scat bikes you need rangers, guardians, storm guardians, and dire avengers first...

1 forge world unit per army, with no fw LOW. D is NOT modified in this event. ugg. Also there is no formations allowed and a max of 8 warp charges per turn.



Autarch, skyrunner, 85

I'm pretty sure 8 hornets is more than 240 points. also why doesn't an assault squad serve you better than scouts? are they bikes? maybe i'm missing something, i don't play space marines.

Ok it is 3 hornets with 6 pulse lasers. I will edit.

I am confused your assault squad comment. I need a troop hence the scouts

That's an incredibly restrictive format there wow.

In any case I think you've done well to optimize what you can in that list.
If possible i'd play around with the idea of using a Squadron of Warp Hunters over the Hornets. I only mention it because it might be easier to keep that fire base safe behind cover rather than risk the hornets being forced to jink + having a couple of D3+X destroyer blasts is always tasty.

Love the Cents with Hunters Eye, might cause an issue if you go against something like Reaver jetbikes (or anything with a great cover save and crappy armour) I'd be tempted to give them the missiles as well to provide a long range / ignores cover threat after they've come in from the pod.

As always, Landspeeder Storms do work and Rangers do well as objective campers.

What I'm a little uneasy about:

- Lack of skyfire, kind of a thing with Eldar and with the restrictions on your scat packs, that may be an issue (even with your 36 rerollable shots!)

- I was never a fan of single units of Vaul's Wrath D cannons, just too short ranged for me...YMMV

- I'm assuming your using the Hawks without the draft F&Q? I've dropped mine in preparation for it, but I always loved throwing the Autartch in with them armed with a fusion gun, add that to your no scatter via deepstrike... just a suggestion

- All those bikes... Without fearless there is a chance of them running off the board with a well placed terrify/ leadership bomb... That sound's unlikely I know but I only mention it because it's happened to me before, add that to a large foot print makes them risky to me. I'm assuming you'll either try and hide them behind LOS blocking terrain if you can or reserve them? Going after invis will stop you getting Prescience + guide (which is almost required with that unit!) Might I suggest you use a Warlock in that unit to get Conceal/Reveal to help their survivability?

I could easily replace the d battery with a warlock. Good call

I am concerned over the foot print too.

There is a 3 flyer restriction I forgot to mention.

Unfortunately 1 Crimson hunter seems bad to me
