So my FLGS has a 200 point Xenos Kill Team Campaign that I've been playing in pretty competitively with 5 Warp Spiders and 3 Windrider Jetbikes. We got an email today about the final day of the campaign and we've been gifted 100 more points to play with!!

I have a handful more Jetbikes, a squad of Dire Avengers, which could take a Wave Serpent, and some Wraithguard to add in. Please give your thoughts on the following lists.

A) More Mobility
5 Warp Spiders, Exarch with Powerblades and Fast Shot
8 Windrider Jetbikes, 2 Shuriken Cannon Upgrades

B) More Wraiths
5 Warp Spiders, Exarch with Powerblades and Fast Shot
5 Wraithguard

C) More Mech
5 Warp Spiders, Exarch with Fast Shot
5 Dire Avengers, Wave Serpent with Twin Linked Scatter Laser

D) More Money (As in I'd have to go out and BUY more Spiders)
10 Warp Spiders, Exarch with Powerblades and Fast Shot
4 Windrider Jetbikes

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the merits and weaknesses of each list. The meta is 2 Eldar, running Guardians or Dire Avengers, 1 Dark Eldar, 2 Tau, 1 'Crons, 1 "nids, 1 or 2 Chaos (I dont remember if it's CSM or Daemons...) if that tells you anything. I think we're pretty diverse, so I'm thinking balance is better than focusing on one opponent. We usually get 3 games in a night.

Help me Dakka-One. You're our only hope.

i would go with something like:

9 warp spiders- 171
7 Jet bikes- 1 cannon- 129

Lots of speed, lots of fire power, all with a 3+ armour save and decent cover saves.

Very difficult to counter so much shooting.

No Exarch and no second Shuriken Cannon? How come?

Kill teams makes every model an individual unit so the exarch would simply get sniped so a waste to sepnd extra points on him.

1 SC simply because it rounded out the points better, you could drop 1 jetbike for another SC with 7 points left over.
