I like the list.

Id consider upgrading the warlock to skyrunner and taking conceal again. That way he can buff the spectres and make them annoying.

its also a consideration as to unit sizes. Smaller units mean when they die they soulburst but larger units make better use of soulburst.
I'd be tempted to run the shining spears as a unit of 6 and spending the rest of the points to up the reaper squad, and 2 units of 2 spectres. That's just me tho. Depends how much soulburst you think you will get off enemy units.

Also would love a farseer for doom but that would mean cutting the autarch which is beneficial. Plus it would be slow.

Farseer skyrunner? Faster, T4, 4++, Can move with spears if needed too. Or park a Farseer with the dark reapers for buffs?

If you take Autarch with wings he lands 9" away and range of pistol is 6" - consider upgrade to fusion gun at 12"?

Don't need matrix on WS - no heavy weapons

Good ideas, I'll change the warlock (I'd misread guide anyway so he's not filling the purpose I'd intended anyway). I can combine the spears into a single unit of 6, and then make the specters into 3 units rather than 4, dunno if I want to make units of 10 because of morale I'd have to test it.

Sorry, should have mentioned my plans with the units. Originally the warlock was going to stay with the reapers but I misread the psychic powers, so he will be with the Autarch and the specters/spears pushing forward, though I'll probably take a fusion gun anyway didn't think about it. I'd like to pick up a farseer for the reapers, but it's a matter of points. I'll try to squeeze him in though.
Also the Autarch will not be dropping rather will be flying with the specters to buff them.
Thought the cannons were heavy, will remove it lol.

Autarch and Warlock with the specters, Yvraine with the reapers.

Any ideas to make the list better? Should I take the farseer for the Dark Reapers? If so what do I drop?

9x Dark Reaper: 7x Reaper Launcher
Dark Reaper Exarch: Tempest Launcher

I'm hoping this is just a typo, but if it's not; you need to either remove two Dark Reapers from the squad or come up with the 62pts for the missing Reaper Launchers. I'd also lose the Tempest Launcher in exchange for a Missile Launcher, but that's me.

I've also notice that you've still got the Fusion Pistol on the Autarch, and you may have done this just because of how it's modeled. However I've got to agree with one of the previous posters, if you are planning on dropping him in, upgrade to a Fusion Gun. Otherwise he won't be shooting the turn he comes in, if he's Deep Striking.

I'll say this from experience too. Running a big unit of Reapers can be extremely potent.

Once your opponent understands their potential though, they'll focus all they can into them, and what you don't lose to failed saves will probably be lost to morale. I've found two units of five to be a better spread of the same models.

No, "Word of the Phoenix" isn't quite as powerful, but you've now got two units to pick from to cast it on, and if one is shot to pieces you're not out of options with Yvraine standing in the backfield playing "Runway Model" all by herself. Remember too, that if the units are within 7" of each other, that if one unit dies it will trigger a Soulburst action in your opponents turn, which could be another round of shooting for one of the units.

Anyway, Good Luck!

Yep Typo

The plan is to run him with the specters so no issues there, also would have to make points for it and they are hard to come by in this particular list. Maybe if the tempest launcher doesn't turn out to be working then I can up it to the fusion gun.

And good point on the dark reapers, I will play test both and see.
