So out of pure curiosity for this new codex, I put together a list which includes units I really like whilst attempting to be cheesy. I need some advice, but I refuse to give up the wraithguard in a serpent, they're too cool! Thanks guys.

Windrider Host - 554

Farseer, spirit stone, skyrunner - 130

warlock, windrider - 50

Vyper, shuriken cannon - 50

x6 Jetbikes, scatter lasers (this squad will be joined by the farseer, sitting further in the back of the board avoiding slay the warlord)

x3 Jetbikes, shuriken cannons

x3 Jetbikes, shuriken cannons

Construct

Wraithknight, x2 scatterlasers

CAD

Warlock, skyrunner - 50

x3 Jetbikes, shuriken cannons

x6 Jetbikes, scatter lasers

Wraithguard, d-scythes w/ waveserpent, scatter lasers - 325

1497

Looks solid, I would go Laser on the CAD bikes. In fact by swapping the cannon unit with the laser unit in the Host you gain rerolls for a turn on a cannon unit and lose literally nothing.

D-Scythes are cool just not convinced they are as good as a Knight. Otherwise looks good but I worry about AT a worry that the D-Scythes are 1 use which means the Knight has to pick up all the slack on heavy AT (obvious light to medium mech just gets buried under a sea of S6).

I figured there wouldn't be THAT much heavy armour in 1500, though, i didn't know D-scythes were 1 use? It doesn't say in the codex O_o Also what do you mean swap the cannon unit with the laser unit? Can I start with the farseer in the CAD biker squad? Thanks!

He means that once the guard get out of their transports to shoot your opponent will focus on them and kill them before they get to shoot again.

Yes the Farseer can join any of your squads regardless of their detachment. so switching out the CAD shuriken cannons with the windrider host scatter lasers will be better.

Yeah that's how I had it originally, but i thought cus of formations it wouldn't allow me to deploy them in a different squad. Sorry im not used to 7th, quit near end of 6th. But in any case, they're a nice fire magnet 8) and they're pretty models. Thanks!

I'd probably swap out the wraithguard/waveserpent for a wraithknight come times when i just want to waac

What happens to the two warlocks? As I remember they're not independent characters.... So they'll just roll around on their own?
