So, the first thing I noticed when reading the new Codex was how many times the word "Pinning" was used. I've been curious about the effectiveness of a "Pin Everything List" for a while now. So here it is.

HQ
Spirit Seer
Uldanorethi Long rifle

x6 Warlocks


Troops
- x3 Guardian Defenders (3 Warlocks go here)
EML's
- x3 Rangers

Fast Attack
x2 Hemlock WraithFighter

Heavy Support
x3 Vaul's Wrath Support Battery (3 Warlocks go here)
- x3 Vibro Cannons

Cost: 1500 on the dot.

So, the concept is that the relentless (correct me if I'm wrong here, because I know they weren't last codex) Vaul batteries and Guardian teams will be shields for my warlocks, and push up the field with hopefully a Horrify or two. Spiritseer will join unless he doesn't roll horrify, at which point AP:3 Sniper. The Hemlocks will go float over their heads to make them reroll LD checks, and then I horrify the team I REALLY don't want moving once/twice/three times and then just try to pin everything else.

Don't point out my AA lack. I know. Otherwise, any opinions, thoughts, concerns, or corrections?

Your support batteries are not relentless, the guardian weapon platforms are though, you would be better off dropping a warlock and guardians unit and making spiritseer a mantle seer and buffing out the other ranger units.
