I don't think this list is legal. You have no DE troops.

Why take baron if you've no where to put him? Also, you have no troop choice and 2 units of elites from your allies. I suggest looking at the ally force org chart again, as you must have 1 troop and no more than 1 elite from the allied detachment.

Technicalities aside, it seems pretty solid. A wraithknight in 1250 is going to be difficult to deal with, and 2 wave serpents and 2 venoms with that are going to be trouble.

Maybe drop the venom with blasterborn and for the troops run a wyche squad with haywires in a venom. Use the saved points from getting a different hq for DE and the wyche squad and upgrade something else

Oops - it was two Kabalite warriors in venoms until the last moment, when I swapped them for Trueborn - and invalidated my list.

The Baron was meant for pure sacrificial harassment and the allies tax. Tie up something soft and shooty, like firewarriors, and live to be annoying with the Shadowfield. I'll tweak the list for legality now.

Thanks!

Ok, put back a unit of Kabalites, stripped out the tricksie HQ.

The Autarch is there to help with reserves, and hunt tanks if need be (dangerous, but sometimes worth it).

The Haemonculus is there to pay the tax, sit in cover, and hope to whack something useful once or twice.

The spiders are just great...so more dakka, more disruption.

Does the modified (corrected) list have much chance of downing a helldrake?
