A friend and I are planning a large non-escalation game in the next couple of months and I'm loving my farsight bomb so wanted to expand the concept further. I don't like to build specifically with opponents in mind but I know my friend is likely to bring a guard/DA/IK type mix. At least a single knight and bane blade are likely with a mix of flyers, plenty of armour and infantry.

Aegis (comms relay)

Aegis to keep my troops off until late game and guarantee 2+ cover for the death star. A bit low on markers for the Riptides but Isee those more as a distraction and mobile SMS platform. If they take fire power away from the bomb, great otherwise they will contest late game.
