Hello everyone.

1 variant (Trophies on Venoms, 1 more Trueborn)

Spoiler:

2 variant (No Trophies on Venoms, -1 Trueborn, but Wyches with Haywire Granades)

Spoiler:

Models in Army: 31

Minimum Killpoints: 11

So, what do you think about it?

**Dr. Serling**

Looks pretty good. I see no reason for grisly trophies on the venoms with the warriors. They should never leave the venom short of it getting shot out from under them or needing to run for an objective. You could spend the points for haywires on the witches.

Also, the single trueborn with a splinter rifle? Just drop him to keep it all blasters and spend the points somewhere else. Maybe give the archon drugs and a blast pistol, or some other upgrades handed out.

4 Man blaster born, only going to be shooting at amour splinter rifle is useless. Drop him. Grisly trophies not im a fan of. I would drop.

d6 more str 3 attacks on wyches is pointless you could give them shardnet and impaler for same pts and now the wyches are tarpit beyond great. charge that scary termies squad and now couple less attacks and you have better invul then them going to be a long combat while you shoot everything to death.

then the Archon is out of place. is he going to to join the wyches? thats a tarpit squad not a killy squad i would give him a blast and join that 4 man squad of trueborn a ws 7 str 8 lance shot is a wonderful thing. drop the agoniser to free up some points

Well, shardnet and impaler will cancel only 1-2 attacks. And then you're fighting against orcs or IG more attacks is better. Archon - 7 initiative, so he will kill enemies HQ first.

Also i wanted to ask, could you explain me special rule "Power from Pain"?

**Kwi**

You would need the codex to explain the power from pain rule.

Nets are fine on the wyches and you want to get that net on the enemy IC or dread - very much worth it and it does wonders on dreadnaughts too. I do like the 2nd list best.

As for hordes, that is what splinter cannons are for and if you are charging wyches into an incredible amount of orks then you are doing something wrong. Don't fight fair, charge their shooters, shoot their chargers.

i find the second list better, though im not a fan a fan of archons, except if they are named hq. My personal favorite is Sliscus, though i like to drop in on my enemy and blast the hell out of them.
Personally ive been experimenting with scourges against vehicles with heat lances as well. Cant say an accurate effectiveness at the time, still inder development. On the wytches, i prefere Blood Brides, but thats just a personal thing. All in all, the second list is better i think.
Just dont charge an ork shoota sqad if they have their named non HQ champion in it. That wrecked my squad 4 times over, had to charge it w my incu as well. Wasnt pretty.
