Hey all, so i have a GT tournament coming up in mid august, and I wanted some constructive criticism on the list i am building for it. I want some FW models, especially the TA and the LoW Gauss Pylon. But i will not be able to buy it, get it, and build/paint it in time for the tournament. Therefore this is a list made with only non FW stuff. Let me know what you think of it, and possibly what changes you would make to it.
If possible, I would buy a second hand Pylon and TA or both. There is a page on this website where you might find some FW models, could even try Facebook, Ebay, second hand site/apps/shops.
Why a unit of Tesla Immortals and Gauss Immortals?
What are you going to be using the CCB for and who will his command wave buff?
1 stalker with Twin Heavy Gauss is the same as 2 Heavy Destroyers in terms of damage. It could be better to maybe take them away and get another stalker for another re-rolling hit rolls of 1 or maybe get another DDA or more scarabs?
Will the ghost ark transport units or just be used to re-RP?
The Nightbringer works well with Time Arrow as he already has a shooting attack so with Time Arrow you could possibly 1-shot low wound models.
There is only tesla immortals in the list, no gauss.
The CCB was to buff the tesla immortals. That way they hit on 2's and tesla procs on 5's and 6's.
I am thinking of dropping the 3 destroyers for another DDA, because the DDA takes more advantage of the stalker buff
The unit of 10 warriors will be transported in the ghost ark. Used to either get to objectives quicker or to respond to certain forms of deepstrike. Can also be used to re-RP.
Ive used times arrow a couple times and decided against it only because against some armies, its not very good or helpful. Whereas i feel that D3 mortal wounds is at least always helpful
CCB works with immortals to be my main anti troop unit. Them and the 20 squad of warriors are used to defend against the bulk of the opposing armies troops, or to hold objectives or choke points.
Orikan the diviner stays with them to provide the 5++ and the +1 to RP. Potentially becomes a decently powerful CC unit if any of my troops get engaged.
Triarch stalker + DDA and heavy destroyer( potentially removed for another DDA) are my primary anti vehicle or LoW units.
The C'Tan is for killing harder to kill elite units. As well as giving me the ability to mortal wound.
Thanks scarabs can be used as either a meat shield for my DDA's or stalker so they are less vulnerable to deapstrikers, or they can be a solid objective holder. Just depends on the situation and what army I'm facing.
The Ghost ark with the 10 troops is used to fill in the gaps. Can be used to quickly get to and hold objectives, the ark itself can help with RP on the big blob if there is heavy resistance. And overall just gives me some mobility that most of the army is lacking
