I've re-tooled this list on the advice from some in the tactics thread to give it a little more punch and take advantage of Ulthwe's psychic punch/guardian bomb in addition to the sustained fire from the vibro cannons and board control afforded by spears and walkers.

Anything you would change? This represents the extent of my current collection (once I can get ahold of some support weapons) hence the inclusion of the rangers. Do you think war walkers with cannons is their best use? I could re tool some with a few points from here and there. I figured the Reapers would take care of anti tank. Would I be better dropping the walkers for something with more cc threat? A wraithlord perhaps? The two opponents Im likely to be playing after lockdown both play marines, so I thought more dakka might be better than scorps or wraiths.

One niggle I had about having three small units of spears is that I can't get a quicken of like I could on a blob. For the same reason I suspect guide might be a bit misplaced on Eldrad, although it does give me the doom/guide/20 blob option which is very tempting.

I'd probably swap out guide for fortune, fortune, protect and the celestial shield stratagem makes guardians rediculously hard to take down. You don't really need guide as long as you use the discipline of the black guardians stratagem to hit on twos.
Three small units of spears should work fine, just move them up out of line of sight turn one for turn two charges or even just objective grabbing if the mission demand it.
But overall I think it's looking good.

^ Cheers Kingheff. I've frozen the plastic model fund for now so will experiment a bit with this first.

Happy weekend
