Theme: Saim-Hann for Casual Play and perhaps semi-competitive battles. I wanted to build a list that uses every vehicle I own and this was what I came up with. I threw in the Avatar because I wanted to try him with that specific warlord trait and this seemed like the most suitable time to do so. The banshees I just recently built and given how quick they are this also seemed very suitably fluffy to play them in specially with the Avatar around.

Stratagems on Deck:
Cloudstrike 1cp [Optional for the Warp Hunter]
Webway Strike 1cp [Optional for the Howling Banshees]
Phantasm 2cp [Situationally useful, good to keep around]
Feigned Retreat 2cp
Runes of Witnessing 2cp
Fire and Fade 1cp
The Avatar Resurgent 3cp [Yes indeed, expensive I know but could be crucial]
Forewarned 2cp [Very useful against the right targets]
Lightning Fast Reactions 2cp [Very useful in every game]

Game Plan: Mobility and fire power with a pinch of assault. I plan to outmaneuver the opponent at every turn and get in key assaults where most beneficial with the banshees and avatar.

This list is very solid, and something I'm enjoying running. Just an optimisation suggestion: since the spearhead doesn't really benefit from saim-hann, maybe use another trait? Other than that, have fun with it! You've got a good idea of how to use it, enjoy the durability of vypers Best of luck
