Hello everyone,

Our next league at our FLGS is running a series of games where based on previous games or, depending on the scenario that week, one player will be an attacker (typically coming in from the board edges) and a defender (typically deploying in the middle of the board). I've put together two lists and would like some constructive criticism on them. Any advice is helpful. Have at it!

Pretty simple strategy, outflank the warwalkers to hopefully come in behind your enemies army. Autarch shoots the Icarus while getting a 2+ rerollable. Wraithknights do what ever they want and vaul's pop vehicles/kills characters. Use your serpents defensivly and when the enemy gets close disembark the wraithguard and flame everything to death

Attackers List:
If your oponent is going to be bunched up in the middle of the table instead of running warp spiders i would run swooping hawks to drop more pie plates on his army. Also are your warlock on bikes? it doesnt say thats why i ask

^^^ above but with some necessary changes.
1: scatters erpents need shrunken cannons to turn them into dakka serpents. That isnt really necessary, but strongly advisable.

2: war walkers all need either x2 lances eeach or x2 scatter lasers each. If you mix it its mixed roles and not as effective.

@ninjafiredragon: Your killing me dude lol, the warwalkers ar setup this way w/ the intention to out flank them. All you need warwalkers to do is blow up a tank the turn they come in and they have done their jump.

I agree with ninjafiredragon, WWs need to be combined so either double BL or double SL (please don't try to mathhammer me it just sounds stupid).

Other changes are have the farseer shoot the lascannon (he can shoot the lascannon and still be with the support batteries)
and have the autarch take a fusion gun and blow stuff up.

I know, i know. I saw your other post and were good now

(I still like the x2 lances though....)

No suggestions on the attacker list?




Automatically Appended Next Post:
I want the dark reaper exarch to man the las cannon for 2 BS 5 STR 9 AP 2 96" range shots that have skyfire, interceptor, and ignore jink and night fighting.

The warlocks are on bikes

I only have 6 war walker models. I could do 2 sets of 3 or 3 sets of 2, but that's it.

Autaurch and scorps are there in case there's any deep striking or outflanking melee units that come in to distrupt the gunline.

You dont really need to worry about night fight for the incarus.


If you only have 6 warwalkers use 2 3m squads and take the reapers instead of the other warwalker sauad.

w/ my list you have dsyths you dont need to worry about deep striking or outflanking melee units. You can easily deal with them.

I only have 5 wraithguard sadly

theres only 5 in the list....

Oh misread one of the warwalkers as a wraithguard

my bad

Well with the points from the war walkers you dont have go ahread and get another min dire avenger squad in dakka
serpent. (tl sl, holofields, shuiken cannon)

What would you replace the 2nd 3 man vaul team with? I only have 3 vaul weapon platforms.
