NOTES:

Free relic: Shadowstone for the FS SS

Other relics that I’d potentially be buying pre-game:
• Cegorach’s Lament for the DJ with HoT
• Starmist raiment for the Solitaire or the non-warlord FS TM
• Curtainfall for the DJ with HC

Potential pre-game additional pivotal roles:
• Veil of illusion for one of the SS
• Prince of light for the warlord

Warlord traits:
• Player of twilight (preferred)
• Player of light (occasionally)

Opinions? Shall I make the vanguard Frozen Stars instead of mixed? Would it be better to put caresses on both big units of FS players rather than just one (I've put kisses on the second mainly because of the models I have and also variety. Are the fusion boats worth it? Would the list be any good in competitive?

I’m just not sure Starweavers are worth it now Shadowseers can extend their aura to 9” and Shield from Harm and Veil of Illusion is so good on foot units. T5 just ain’t cutting it, even with a 4++. I’d prob go double battalion of Frozen Stars, do 2 units of 5 with min upgrades and then 3-4 big 12 man units with 8-9 upgrades, prob mixed 5/3 caress/kiss. See if you can squeeze points to get 3x5 bikes too.

Yes, I also suspect that what you suggest would be more competitive... I'd rather keep the starweavers because I don't want to buy and paint more players and also because my list is more fun to play... ignoring one datasheet of a codex that already has very little to choose from is a bit dismaying.

And yes, I should have probably listed down the 9" auras relic for SS in my initial message (will amend now)
