Hello all,

Been messing around with a few lists, here is one I think I've settled on. I don't enjoy playing mech, so I;m after a break. What are your thoughts?

Battalion Detachment

HQ - 467
Avatar of Khaine
Eldrad
Warlock (conceal)

Troops - 307
12 Guardians - Shuriken Cannon Platform
10 Guardians - Shuriken Cannon Platform
10 Guardians - Shuriken Cannon Platform

Heavy Support - 606
3 X War Walkers - Brightlances
3 X War Walkers - Brightlances

Spearhead Detachment

HQ - 76
Autarch - Power Sword

Fast Attack - 544
2X Vypers - Shurican Cannons
8 Warp Spiders - inc Exarch 2X Death Spinners
8 Warp Spiders - Inc Exarch 2X Death Spinners

I'm not sure how I feel about the list, it is meant to be a take all commers. but I feel it might be lacking something. 12 Bright lances is decent anti tank, and the Warp Spiders + Vypers should be able to deal damage where required, but the core seems to be lacking substance, its some gurdians, 3 cannons and over a quarter of the points is spent on 4 HQ.

Thoughts?

3rd Vyper will give 20" move.
Warp Spiders are a bit meh in 8th but that's really up to playstyle imho.
Having heavy weapons on the walkers adds +1 to shooting which can be a bit painful.
Avatar has not been impressive in games I've played so far.
Spread HS into 3 units with one of the HQs for a third detachment +1CP.
