We have tried a few things but are looking for some ideas. We have tried a few things ( more immortals, warriors, blades). Just want some fresh opinions.

Some ideas:

- Split the Harvests into 4 MSU harvests (3 Wraiths in each). Fill rest of points with Tomb Blades
- Add Deathbringer Flight
- Add a blob of 20 Warriors and add 3 more Tomb Blades.

Could drop the wraiths down and go for a lych star with orikan. Or drop the harvests entirely, take justicar(with more than one stalker) and maybe a 20 man warriors squad. That would give you a ton of bs5 warriors plus some cc threats if necessary.

I found from a ton of game testing that the "Lych star" or "Immortal star" with basically a royal court was just way too slow. With no Ob sec, I need to wrap them up and either force them to play on their side of the board, or just clear them out with Wraiths. There is not much a unit of 6 wraiths cant either kill, or tie up for 3-4 turns if needed.

I have ponded with splitting them and running 4 MSU Harvests. I may try that this weekend.

I hate the deathbringer flight tbh. There is so many other options that are better from play testing.

I may try MSU Flayed ones and run 3 Harvests with 4 wraiths per.

I agree with the slowness of the lychstar. That 6" movement really hurts, even with access to a veil of darkness. And God help you if you misshap.

That being said I think the justicar could have a place I competive decurions with either massed warriors or massed destroyers. The bs5 plus their preffered enemy give them psudo twin link and their guns are just deadly. Or maybe I'm dreaming.

Harvests are obviously the superior auxiliary choice so it's hard trying to justify anything else other than a hugely beefy decurion for MSU, which eh, I always want to play to table, win or loose. Blood for blood God and all that. Or star gods in this case.
