DScythes are all or nothing. Either you replace the entire units Wraithcannons, or you don't. Can't pick and choose....as nice as that would be. "The entire unit may replace their wraithcannons with Dscythes....... XXpts/model"

yup just overlooked that part thx

The Cadre fire blade is very good but be wary of bad leadership, you might want to get yourself an ethereal or another fire blade, more shots are never a bad thing. Your fire warriors look good, except for the 1 gun drone, you should get rid of it. Riptides are good, but why the counterfire defense system? Early warning override is better. Rail rifles are good but ion rifles are better. Piranhas are really good but you should give them fusion blasters if you want to make them to be useful. Wraithguard are good but they take up a lot of points, 5 wraithguard are a bit weak, but might be effective. Aegis defense lines are good but the quad gun isn't going to be good enough AA. All in all a solid list, let me know how it goes.

ok so I was able to finish 2 Tounaments with this,list and came in second place played around 12 games over 2 weekends and only lost 1 game.

A major advantage was that the Wraithknight and Riptide drew so much attention he left most everything else alone, and in one game I literally did not lose a whole unit now it was down to 3 guys but not completely wiped out!

the Wraithguard are amazing at holding objectives being T6 w/ Spiritseers Protect (2+ save) and proved thier worth by pinning a LR 6 times and getting 3 Termies in the explosion (VERY lucky)

Pathfinders......need I say more? Amazing as always

Broadsides.....Thank God for the 2+ save or they would have been squished by a VERY determined Heldrake and a couple of Thousand Sons

Piranhas.....all around good harassment unit id advise not to take them in squadrons I took a squadron of 5 once got charged with termies(dont ask how it happened i didnt see them hiding behind a ruble building) and he blew up 3 of them turn 3 so......yeah

Riptide......Its a must if you take Farsight Enclave you can give a single Riptide a Earth Caste Pilot Array that allows him to re-roll 1s and failed Nova Charges but reduces him to WS1

all in all its a good Tournie list i think but i wont be bringing it to friendly games I dont want people to hate me just because I want to win
