There is now a do-pivots-count thread in YMDC. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

I had thought WWP was an artefact.

Cost to do the normal config?
5x WG w/Scythes - 210
Stock Serpent - 110
Archon + WWP - 95

Total is 415. That's Super heavy territory.

So, for 3, you need 1245 points just for them alone. Without bothering with formations/CAD. At a minimum of 3 sources (at least 2 DE detachments, at least 1 CW).

So possible, yes. Scary, yes. But a ton of points.

I don't think I'd deep strike 3.
A single webway should be enough; and you don't really need battle focus when you can disembark to get the perfect spread.

That said, you can 2 source it, and you can even CAD + 1 other.
DE could get the 3 webways from coven (2x50 point wracks, 3x haemonculus with webways) 415 points.

With 3x Scythe Guard and serpents, it's 960 more, for 1375 points. Still need an HQ and 2 troops to call it a cad, but that's cheap, (137 minimum). That leaves enough points where you could bring in a Wraith knight to camp until the scythes arrive.

I still believe your better off without the triple strike, as I doubt you'll need more than one. Points saved gives you the firepower you need to remove the screening chaff before they arrive.
