Still trying to wrap my head around the new "Ynarri", the last couple of lists I made where pretty bad or riddled with errors. Hopefully, this will remedy this. I play in a casually competitive meta, meaning that while most people in play somewhat fluffy lists, all of them like winning, so I will see an alarming amount of cheddar. Hence I don't feel bad taking a wraithknight, but playing full out netlisted cheese is frowned upon. So with this list, I went the tried and true MSU style, with a light peppering of harder hitting units. All C&C is appreciated.

Reborn Warhost 1 (804 pts)
HQ
Succubus w/AoM, Glaive, & Hwg (joins Harlies)

Elite
Shadowseer w/ML 2 & MoS (joins Harlies)
Shadowseer w/ML 2 & Hwg (joins Beastmaster)

Troops
8 Harlies w/Troupe Master
TM w/caress, 3 w/caress, 4 plain

3 Scatbikes

Fast Attack
1 Beastmaster w/3 Clawed Fiends
2x3 Reavers w/HL & CC

Reborn Warhost 2 (1046 pts)
HQ
Farseer w/Bike, Stones, & Spear (joins Scatbikes w/Warlock)

Elites
Solitaire w/ Hwg

Troops
3 Scatbikes & Warlock w/Bike & Spear
3 Scatbikes

Fast Attack
3x3 Reavers w/HL & CC

LoW
Wraithknight w/Sword, Shield, & 2 Scatterlasers

Total 1850

I have a pretty decent psychic phase, some Ld shenanigans with the Harlie unit, the Solitaire can do some nice work, a decent amount of scatterlasers to pop transports and focus down units to promote soulbursting, 5 small packs of Reavers to Wolfpack targets of opportunity,, screen other units, or grabbing objectives. The Clawed Fiends and Shadowseer seems like it could be a fun little unit. 11 T5 wds, HnR, Veil of Tears, and another source of Psychic Shriek. Could really mess some armies up. Especially if near the Harlies. Plus a fully-kitted, melee WK.

We always play ITC at this pt. level.

What does Dakka think?

No thoughts, eh......?

So 192 views, not one vicious review or like....

Hey, xambrien

I'm running the new Ynarri faction, and personally, i love it.

However, my army runs a DE core. So while it's a little different compared to yours, i think I can still give you some suggestions.

I question why you would have a succubus when you could just take the archon with shadow field? That saves you 15 points in your HQ alone. Your Succubus isn't going to get into combat too much considering all your foot slog, and with the 2+ invul, you will survive a little bit more as opposed to the succubus squishiness.

I have nothing to add in regards to your elite choices as it buffs your psychic potential except to possibly look at taking them solely base model, MOS being the only exception as it grants you fearless. But in replacement of that, i would suggest taking the triumvirate of the Ynarri, it's absolutely fantastic when your opponent pops a squishy transport, and you drop the avatar of death onto the board hehe.
Also, you'll get +5 to your mastery level and when the avatar hits the field if the rest of the triumvirate is on the field everybody in your army will be fearless. So you won't need items to make you fearless.
Just make something die lol.


As for your troops choice, I'm not entirely sure what a "scatbike" is. However, your unit of Troupe's seems to be fairly well kitted.

Beastmasters are very "MEH" you'd be better to save your points and put them elsewhere.

The Farseer is amazing with what you've got it kitted out as. Im thinking of adding one to my list.

the solitaire is cool,

again I'm not sure what the scat bike is.

but the wraith knight is an auto take haha, I'm taking one in my new list which I'll be posting soon if you'd like to see.

Thanks for your comments!
I'm going to answer your points in order..
1) I went with the Succubus for a couple of different reasons, the first being the combat effectiveness of her beats that of the Archon. I wanted the AoM for it's negative to Ld, I figure that will help, with getting of some nice freakshow shenanigans off. With a -4 to leadership that psychic Shriek should go off nicely. Since they​ both will be rolling with the Harlie troupe, Veil of Tears should also help mitigate the units innate squishiness.

2) I have the models for the triumvirate, it's just hard for me to justify 625 pts for 3 models. Add in a wraithknight, and that's over half my available pts. Though I have thought about adding in the Yncarne instead of wraithknight.

3) Scatbikes are Windriders w/scatterlasers

4) the Beasts are my only real concern. Coming in at 185 pts with the 2nd Shadowseer. I see them as screening unit for my Harlies.11 T5 wounds with Rampage, Hit n Run, Veil of Tears, and another source of Psychic Shriek, could be a nice little tarpit. That could easily earn back it points or be a complete did.

5) Yep, the Farseer, Solitaire, and Wraithknight are really good.

Going to play some games this weekend and see what needs to be tweaked.

Again thanks for your comments, I will give your list a look and comment on it later today.

1. that would be beneficial for your psychic shriek, but IMO I don't believe that the ability to hit somebody with 1 S6 is worth all the points.

2. I made a snap decision about using them as well, and I'm not regretting it haha, I've used them for three games straight, and I haven't been let down yet. They've more than made up for their points consistently haha. And with your list, you'll definitely enjoy the additional mastery levels.

3. oh, i see, I'll withhold judgment on them as I have yet to play against or with them. sorry.

4. I believe it'll whiff more often then it will earn back it's points . something that will go off more consistently would be reavers or even scourges which are AMAZING anti-vehicle with their HW guns.

5. I've not used any of them YET, but I'm purchasing a wraithknight in a few days and I'm hoping to use him.

no problem and good luck, you should get back to me on how things went
