Now I know you're going to say swap Scorpions for Dragons, but I love my Scorpions to much to do so...

Also, Scatter Lasers on every single Serpent was boring the heck out of me...so I put points elsewhere.

If you're not sure what to comment on...try to think of what army I would have the most trouble with...and let me know!

So...let me have it dakka!

Well, you seem to like Striking Scorpions. I'd replace them by Fire Dragons. The Autarch is not a must-have in this list. I'd max out HS.

I don't understand how you got bored of SL on every serpent as shuriken cannon is slightly worse but very similar and you can get an underslung one anyway?
Sporpions I donot think cut it atm and I think should be swapped for more scoring units, either two 3 man jetbike squads or late game objective capturing and a warlock for the other guardian squad or another squad of guardians and two weapons platforms, alternatively, they could be swapped for 7 warp spiders coz dakka

Even with 2 Hunters?

Also, unless taking the jetbike option I mentioned I would drop the autarch and take either two scatter/starcannon walkers or another prism, dropping the warlock may help accomplish this, also, I know this leaves the crimson hunters vulnerable so another option is to drop them for some 17 warp spiders and replace the autarch with a jetbike farseer to guide and prescience the spiders...

lots of options!

Maybe. But what is her role?

Though I appreciate the well thought out and tactical response I am really trying to keep my mechdar as mechdar.

The Autarch is here for reserves manipulation.

Id drop the scorpions and the WS for spiders and a 2nd warlock.

Drop Warlock and wargear from Autarch, get some MOAR scorpions. This will make them serious hitting power.

I think you have a definite argument with taking out Wargear for Scorpions but I am not sure its worth losing the warlock, one extra warlock means getting one extra chance of jinx or any other psychic power.

In my last game I played I was able to Jynx some Paladins...some being 3-4 and wipe them out with Clawxarch and then burying them in attacks.

I could get 3 Scorpions for the Warlock, Power Weapon, and Banshee Mask. I am not saying it's not worth it, just saying it's a thought that could be tested.

@iyandenguard: Maybe I need to change the way I write my list, each wraithguard and scorpion serpent has two cannons.

1. Warlock is too random and expensive
2. Banshee Mask? You alredy have crasy initiative on Autarch. Besides, if he just for reserve roll, I dont think it is good idea to throw him in CC early and against serious threat.
3. Power weapon is too specialized, better take scorpion sword. And it will be more fluffy

I can get on board with the scorpion chainsword...it definitely has the cool factor.
