I don't know much about the meta at that store, so I went mostly anti MEQ with some CC. The only thing I'm fearing (since gargantuan and super heavies are banned) is flyers, but Im hoping that mass gauss spam can take them down. I'm also wondering how people use the Destroyer Lord with Voidreaper. Do you put him with some destroyers and deepstrike? I would assume he mostly hunts MCs and 2+ armor stuff?

Is dope

Tournament is this saturday, during play testing I tried to deepstrike the 3 destroyers + lord but felt like they could have been doing more in the turns of sitting in reserve. Potentially against some armies I will hold them in deepstrike reserve, but against most I will probably just straight up field them.

Also the tomb blades did nothing for me, they are very tanky but the firepower is very limited... I have heard them being praised as a really good unit, but its just 3/6 twin linked gauss shots... Are they only good in numbers exceeding 5? What should I target with them as a smaller squad of 3?

Very nice

What the blades are good as is Objective grabbing. They can turbo boost so are very fast and can have 3+ save, 4+ reanimation, and 3+ cover if you build them right. So you hold them back and late game, grab the objectives, or run around grabbing them in Maelstrom.

All right, thanks for the tip. If an enemy unit with objective secure is holding the objective I need in Maelstrom, do you think its worth focussing most of my fire power at that unit and then grabbing the objective with my tomb blades? Or should I always target the scariest target my enemy has?

Only if you can wipe it out. If there are any models left in that unit, they will, if smart, charge your bikes and tie them up.
