My local shop is running a 1750 tourney on the 23rd and is allowing the skyshield, so I figured I would drop two riptides and grab 6 missilesides. Please let me know what you think I could do to improve the list,Thanks. The tourney will have 2 serpent spam lists 1 necron air spam 1 demon screamer'star and the rest are a mix.
