Howdy schemer-leaders, I come to you with two lists I want to play. And as you all know, there's only so much time in the day.

Edit: Meant to give preview, not submit... Give me a bit.


===First list, 2k on the dot===
Warlock Bombardier - Deranged Inventory
Warlock Bombardier - Arcane Tome
Warlock Engineer
d6+3 Warpsparks instead of of d3+3

3x 20-model Clan Rat units. Cheap, dependable wounds.
6 Stormfiends. Shock Gauntlets, Ratling Cannons, Windlaunchers. They still put out obscene damage, now with easier buff application.
10 Skryre Acolytes. At worst, a roadbump. At best, their damage output is solid.

2 Warp Lightning Cannons. A single Engineer can buff both of them at once, which is neat. Sadly, only the specific Warlock Engineer can buff them, not any of the other Skryre Heroes.

Hellpit Abomination.

Pros: A variety of ranged threats. Relatively reliable, multiple Skryre wizards with MMMWP reduce the damage of one of them dying. The Deranged Inventor and Arcane Tome are on different models, so I can Warp-spark the Arcane-tome bearer to cast multiple spells, with less danger being put on my Deranged Inventor.

Cons: Not much melee threat, not terribly mobile.

===Second list===

Archwarlock, Deranged Inventor.
Greyseer, Skitterleap.

3x20 Clan Rats
6 Stormfiends. Shock Gauntlets, Ratling Cannons, Windlaunchers. They still put out obscene damage, now with easier buff application.
2 Hellpit Abominations - One with 16wound/4+ Save Mutation.
1 Doomwheel

I have a few flex options in this list. I can potentially add Esoteric Warpspark generator on the Archwarlock. Or, a Master Moulder with Rabid Crown to buff the HPA's. Or, take Warp Lightning Vortex and use the Grey Seer Skitterleaping to shove it down the enemies throat. Or, Soulscream Bridge and Skitterleap the Archwarlock to reposition it up with the Stormfiends.

Pros: HPA's are big and nasty distractions. Alongside the Doomwheel, they might take some heat off my Stormfiends if I use them aggressively.
Cons: More points of failure in the list.

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?

I haven't really played since AoS started, but HPA and Doomwheel are both a lot of fun. The second list looks more like something I would play, altho my collection is much heavier into Pestilens than anything else.
