I was wondering what the biggest weaknesses of this list are, and what I might be able to change to help that? I'm keeping the Techpriest for fluff reasons as Im building my collection towards a Skitaari legion.

The idea is the artillery, Techpriest and CCS stay on the Sky Shield with an objective in view. While the blobs either split up to grab different objectives or stay huddled around the Landing Pad depending on my opponent and game type. Eventually the flyers will come on the board and either pick up some guys or just go and search and destroy. I like that I can have up to 5 decently powered objective grabbers. I'm going to keep my artillery moving a couple of inches a turn to protect against deepstrikers. all of my artillery have HFs
Opinions please

why the move? I thought deep strikers can't assault on the turn they arrive. you may want to put a vet squad already in a flyer to save a turn from picking them up and grab far objectives wit them.

Moving 6 inches from an assault won't stop much, your biggest issue is the limited pie plate droppings. Just don't get overly lucky have those manticores drop all of their missles in one turn.

I'm still such a noob at this game I had forgotten that you cannot assault after deepstriking.

I'll see what I can do with the points to get vet squads in the flyers. Maybe I'll drop the second PCS.

@BunkerBob what is with the refference to the Manticores dropping all of their missles in one turn?

Not sure what book hes looking at. Maybe mixed up with the deathstrike missile.

Well if hes using the IG codex then no, a manticore cannot drop all of its missiles in 1 turn. If its forgeworld then I have no idea of where to find that out.
