So putting a Scorpion in a 2000pts list seems very ridiculous and difficult for the opponent to handle. this is an attempt at a list for this



625 - Greater Brass Scorpion

152 - Maulerfiend - Khorne- Lasher tendrils

185 - Heldrake - Khorne - Baleflamer
185 - Heldrake - Khorne - Baleflamer

189 - Deamon Prince - Wings - 2x Malefic Talons - Khorne - Warpbolter

224 - Defiler - Khorne - Twin Lascannon - Battlecannon - Defiler Scourge - Combi Flamer
147 - Helbrute - Khorne - Twin Lascannon - Missile launcher
147 - Helbrute - Khorne - Twin Lascannon - Missile launcher
147 - Helbrute - Khorne - Twin Lascannon - Missile launcher

total 2000pts - 9 deployments - 4 Command points

low deployment so good chance to get first turn,

Prince can either be a bodyguard for the shooty Helbrutes or move forward with the scorpion and Daemonforge beasties if the opponent doesn't have any close combat that's likely to harass my shooty backline.

very nasty I think

Its mean as hell and hits like a convoy of mack trucks in both the shooting phase and the assault phase, but it is a little on the squishy side for a super heavy that is an absolute must for your opponent to take down. I like your all armor list to go with it, few lists are going to have the anti tank to handle it. although outside of the Scorpion the others arnt too threatening, and might find it difficult to hold objectives/remove enough of your opponents models to hold objectives. Still looks like a fun list, and brutal against an opponent that didn't bring enough anti tank.

In a narrative play event I ran one with my Necrons(they are a ll insect themed, so when choosing a super heavy the scorpion was in by default in the selection process, even in 7th where wraith knights just ate it before it even got to swing) and it really buffs my crons who are mostly shooty (triarch stalkers, insect fly like destroyers, coptek spiders and scarabs, plus some antlike warriors) and I really had fun taking it in 8th where it got so much meaner.

Yeah the scorpion got a lot better in 8th, I really like that its Ws and Bs don't degrade as it takes damage.

The low deployment should be able to allow me to have first turn most games so the heldrakes will be able to tie up the big shooter units which will hopefully allow the scorpion to survive until it reaches the opponents line.

I doubt that a TAC list will be able to deal with this army as you need some serious anti-tank to take this out,
The missile launchers, baleflamer, scorpion flamers, lashertendrils and deamonprices are decent counters to horde lists.

I think this list could be very competitive in any ForgeWorld friendly tournament.

I calculated that you need about 27 bright lances or dark lances shot or 20 Lascannon shots to kill the Scorpion which is difficult to get in a 2000pts list. especially if the bigger shooty units you have get tied up by Heldrakes.

I know the scorpion isn't the toughest in the heavies out there. but its certainly isn't a pushover.
