Hey everybody, got back to the game after a super long break and been studying the new edition and common lists the past few days. I'll start with 1000 pts games and here's a list based on what I see that works & what I have/like.

Not sure what craftworld I should pick with this list. Did not have enough points for Exarchs or a 20 guardian unit with platform, unfortunately.

Thanks to all in advance!

You can replace a single model from your aspects and add in an exarch for the same cost so you can access their exarch traits. You could drop one shuriken cannon on one serpent and buy the two exarchs in your Dark Reaper squads tempest launchers for anti-horde capability.

Because you have MSUs, give the custom craftworld traits a try (expert crafters + something else).

This list is excellent for small points games and you're very likely to win with it.

Great! I've seen others include units of 4 of Dire Avengers, but battlescribe and codex says min. limit is 5?

Will do that for Reapers tho!

The minimum-size squad of DAs has 5 members.

The list is quite good at small pt games due to the Lanchester square law which makes is hard for the enemy to destroy your tanks.

Protection of the Reapers is key.

You can reduce the number of standard aspect warriors with the addition of an Exarch and that will make it legal in battlescribe.

Very good, thanks to the both of you!
