This is the list I'm thinking of taking to Warhammer World for Throne of Skulls later this year:

Battalion:

Farseer

Yvraine

Autarch Skyrunner, Laser Lance, Melta Gun, Banshee Mask


2x 5 Dire Avengers
Wave Serpent, 3x Cannons, VE, SS

10 x Dire Avengers
Wave Serpent, 3x Cannons, VE, SS


10x Fire Dragons
Wave Serpent, 3x Cannons, VE, SS

5x Wraithguard, D-Scythes
Wave Serpent, 3x Cannons, VE, SS


Hemlock Wraithfighter



So, it's 4 Serpents Rushing forward to drop off units in 7" for SfD to hopefully shoot twice. The Biketarch, Fire Dragons, Wraithguard and big avenger unit all make good use of SfD and the psychic buffs.

Throne of Skulls isn't a competitive tournament so I want something that's powerful but fun to use. With access to 3 different Psychic disciplines, auras off the Hemlock and Autarch, and Strength from Death shenanigans this should be a fun list to play.

It's not actually 2000pts but 100pl, which I really don't like as it makes it hard to tweak lists. The one great thing about power levels is that I get to use my Dire Avengers without totally shooting myself in the foot!


Please tell me what you think of the list and if possible address the following:

How is my anti-tank vs anti-infantry in this list?

The Fire Dragons are the only dedicated anti tank, will that be enough with some help from D-Scythes?

I don't have the Hemlock yet and have been considering taking 10 Warp Spiders instead. Hemlocks are better but the Spiders would be another short range shooty unit getting stuck in for some SfD.

I could also drop the Hemlock and Yvraine and take the Yncarne instead. He would add more anti-tank (and has the benefit of already being painted).

I could take 5 Wraithcannon Wraithguard instead of 10 Dire Avengers and make it a Vanguard detachment instead of a battalion (it would require some PL rejigging). At that point I think I might not have enough anti-horde shooting. Hordes are a lot harder for Ynnari to deal with as it makes it difficult to trigger SfD.

If it is PL then add extra's to your Wave serpents, Hemlock has been my MVP or close to it several times playing it. It truly is a fire magnet and with careful planning you can give conceal to several units once they jump out of serpents.

Add Bright Lances or Star cannons to the serpents... Shuriken cannons are decent but never count on them to do a lot of damage.

Yeah from what I've been hearing the Hemlock will be worth the investment.

The Serpents need to advance to trigger the -1 to hit from Vectored Engines so they won't be able to shoot heavy weapons. I also don't want to optimize my models for power levels as it's not what I normally play.
