My list:

Opponent have deamon prince, pink horror x2, rubric marince, psycher on disc, Screamers and flamers.

Its my first 8th battle. I mathammer scarabs as most wound and dmg per point and like wraiths form 7 so i charge with them first. They kill one pink unit and all die next turn. Wraiths by smite and scarabs by all other dmg.
In this time my troops and characters kill second pink.
In second turn i do nothing. Opponent smite warriors, shoot with marines and charge by deamon. Screamers go to my objective leave by canoptek.
My warriors survive this atack. In 3 turn i shoot deamon prince by all my power. Most dmg dose nightbringer. Deamon survive with one wound and explodes while try smite. Do a lot mortal wound. They kill one warriors and wound nightbringer. Also szeras get hurt.
In 4 i have only 20 warriors and szeras with 2 wound left and i won by points. I kill psyker by szeras and warriors. They kill my szeras. I get one of his objective.
In 5 and 6 my warriors shoot with rubric and won because RP. I won with first blood with one point hi.
I must spend my CP to auto past moral with warriors 2 times. I won but was really disapointed by canoptek.

Thanks for the report.

When you say you are dissapointed by the Canoptec, do you mean the Wraiths or also the Scarabs?
Wraiths really don't like tsons and their smite spam.

How did you find you unit of 13 warriors performed?

Thanks again and keep the report coming.

Scarabs dont do anything also but i want kill much more with wraiths. I use scarabs for shield wraiths. This formation dissapoint me.
I know scarabs have role in 8th. But not like canoptek harvest in 7th. Rather to screen ark and get objective. In assalt they die too fast.
