Few opponents around during the summer means a lot of painting and a lot of theorizing on lists for me. Here are the two lists I've come up with for 2000pts so far.

This first list has more anti-vehicle power, thanks to the Deathrain team and the Seekers, but isn't quite as durable because of fewer Shield Drones and the bodyguards on the 'El. I'm afraid that this list might get shredded should I end up playing on Planet Bowling Ball, or face a Drop Pod list. By contrast, the second list has more durability and takes full advantage of IC status on the commanders, and can use the 'O to tie up opposing units. I wonder, though, if I've got enough AV to take on Speed Freaks or Vyper-rushing Eldar. I'm unsure of which (if either) of them would be more effective overall, so I was hoping for some input on which one you like better and/or what tweaks need to be made to address any glaring weaknesses.

EDIT: Fixed the horrendous formatting caused by copying and pasting... Hopefully, before anyone reads it...

...or the editor can be a jerk and not let me fix it... Oh well, it's readable. Deal with it
