General plan & thoughts/reasons
In Reserve:
3 Blackstars (carrying the 3 DW Kill Teams) & 1 Warglaive.
Fieldeding them as Aircraft let's me see where I actually need firepower & hit otherwise hard to reach areas/targets (such as things hiding behind ruins).

Rhinos each carry a Daemonhost squad, aim to chew up infantry types, & add AT fire via the HKMs

Bikes - take objectives, do actions, chew up infantry.

Ur-025 - hangs out on home objective, safe via Lone Op. He & a generic Inquisitor (same pts) take turns leading the force.

The Warglaives provide AT punch while he Hellverin chews things up at long range. Occasionally the Anti-Fly 2+ comes into play....

This is really just an excuse to field the 3 Blackstars - I love this model.
It's DW heavy because nobody else can ride in the Blackstars. :(
The Blackstars have LC & stormstrike missiles because the Agents list is extremely limited on AT options. And I don't go to battle without AT options.
The Armigers are here to augment my AT capabilities (the Hellverin got used this time out as I'd finally finished magnetizing it's arms - otherwise it'd be a 3rd Warglaive)

I can't believe that UR-025 is your Warlord.


Is there a reason why you didn't use Artemis or the Watch Master?

Nice List!

I've been using my VIndicare Assasin over UR for Lone Op objective holding, but he's been shooting so pitifully bad this edition that I think I might swap them out and use the points elsewhere.

Yes.
I don't own an Artemis or a Watch Master.
Maybe someday if one turns up in the shops used minis display case....
