Working on a list to a tourny in January and cant decide if the list is good or not (cannot test the list extensivly, as the deadline for list admission is coming up soon...)
Anyway my thought is to have a list that can do fairly well, without being to one-sided or cheesy, that is fun to play both with and against.


Main purpose of the list is having 2 combat blocks + libby dread, either deploy DC in deepstrike or using strategem to push them up field, depending on what i face. The troops to secure objectives in/close to my deploy. Inceptors to dakka on screens ans infantry while devasators targets the vehicles. My main concern is that i feel wierd playing without any vehicles (apart from libby dread) and that i might have too little shooting..

Any feedback is more than welcome!

I like the angelus boltgun a lot at the new pricepoint.

Give the ancient a the FNP banner for those SG.

12 DC need Astorath to ensure they don't take losses from battleshock. Maybe MSU them.

5 sniper rifles isn't getting anything done.

Not sure how I feel about lascannon devs. They are the squishiest way to take lascannons.

Angelus- yeah altough i have already cut mine off and replaced with plasma... so im stuck :p

The Ancient have the banner, missed to write that!

Cannot take Astorath as there is no named chars allowed:( might split them up though...

Snipers.. well true, if i get my hands on models without ill swap em!

Yeah might just go for pred, altough have a feeling a single tank screams shoot me too much....

If they are shooting your tank, maybe they aren't shooting your libby dread. Or your SG. It's a matter of taste for sure.

Noob question here:

Wouldn't it be more effective to bring just DC or just SG and using the stratagems appropriately?


Like the setup tho. Fast moving and difficult to stop.

Well SG is deepstriking and lobby dread should be fine behind DC until it arrives turn 1/2. But still in not sure, ill have go try it out
