Well, the army lacks anti-tank. Foot slogging is a slow way to die.

I'm waiting to reach higher point levels to buy transports. Plus, I also want to see how the coming of 6th ed will affect them. What if they become less useful or less necessary ? I prefer for now to buy infantry models, and when 6th ed will be here, then buy vehicules. That, and the fact they cost alot of money to start with.

And what about this list ?

Farseer : Rune of Warding, Spirit Stones, Doom, Guide
Warlock x3 : Embolden, Enhance, Singing Spears x3
Total : 239

Dire Avengers x10 : Exarch, Two Shuriken Catapults, Bladestorm
Total : 152

Dire Avengers x10 : Exarch, Two Shuriken Catapults, Bladestorm
Total : 152

Dark Reapers x3 : Exarch, Tempest Launcher, Far Shot
Total : 157

Total : 700

I thought at first to take fire dragons, but they don't have enough range, and then I thought that maybe dark reapers would do the job. What do you suggest me to take ?

Executing Exarch





The Twilight Zone

Get an avatar. He is cheap($$$ wise), provides some anti tank, a fearless bubble and is a must for being on foot.

Farseers and warlocks are not that expensive, but a seer council is worthless in small numbers. A farseer is a good idea though, to fortune the avatar.

Aspect warriors are expensive if you are buying them new. A box of avengers is ten models, while other aspects will run about the same price and only come in groups of six. Guardians are a cheap option that will provide anti tank and long ranged fire.

Wraithlords are a bit more expensive than aspect warriors, but provide anti tank and are hard to kill.

Dark reapers are anti infantary, not anti tank. Only an exarch with an EML+Fast shot will take out tanks. They are there to kill marines and units in cover.

I would get a farseer, a box of dire avengers, a box of guardians, the avatar and maybe a wraithlord. Add a warlock or two. Should be less than 200 bucks to get all that.
