Hello all! I'm attempting to make a Corsairs list the most competitive I can whilst keeping the bulk of the army in-Codex. I'm happy to throw in CWE and/or DE components, but at a minimum 50% needs to be pirate space elves. Feel free to suggest anything from gear changes to massive alterations after that;

Corterie:

Command Crew:

HQ - Corsair Prince, Cloud Dancer, Void Sabre, Forceshield, Travelor of the Forgotten Path (Multi-key)

1: PE Tank/Walker

HQ - Void Dreamer - ML3, Jetpack, Shadowfield
Troop - Cloud Dancer x5 - Scatter x5
Troop - Reaver x5 - Jetpack x5, Shuriken x3, Fusion x2
Troop - Reaver x5 - Jetpack x5, Shuriken x3, Fusion x2
Heavy - Balestrike x5 - Jetpack x5, Dark Lance x5

2: Reroll Reserves/-1D6 Scatter

HQ - Baron - Cloud Dancer, Shadowfield
Troop - Cloud Dancer x5 - Splinter Cannon x5
Fast Attack - Hornet x2 - Pulse Laser x4, Kinetic Shrouds
Fast Attack - Nightwing Interceptor - Kinetic Shroud, Void Burner
Heavy - Warp Hunter, Kinetic Shroud, Void Burner

This generalist list is made to suit my meta in a medium scale tournament. Please feel free to provide constructive ideas! Thanks.

No transports for your Reavers?

Ah, no. They have Jetpacks, edited for clarification. Thanks!

Dig it Cieged! Does the prince go with the baron and splinter bikes? Or with the scatter bikes for more protection? I like CWE allies for 2+ shadowfield reroll with fortune TROLLage I have 25 guardian bodies on hand and jetpacks/upgrade kits in the mail! I am going Void Dragons as well. Their scheme is very sinister for pirates. Love it.

List looks solid. I'm going to go with the combat drugs on my prince and hope for the 6 T4 S4 corsairs will just be sooooo gravy. You have most things covered I think. Those are probably the best two coterie bonus's, other than maybe hate bringers for a free VP for marking a rhino or venom-esque unit to kill.

I am rolling 2 units of reavers (one with fusion and one with blasters) and the same 5 dark lance squad (are you going to use ACTUAL dark lances, or convert them up? I'm needing to find some on the cheap). Also some jetpacking ghostwalkers with a blaster because why not space-elf-pirate-jetpack-ninjas?

Please let me know how the dreamer does, I'm skeptical at best with that HORRENDOUS perils chart...

I would aim to run Prince with Splinter - more protection and opportunity to lay down the Multiphase and let some items deep strike more aggressively. I've toyed around with the idea of Psyker abuse (Jetseer Council is my main list) but for better or worse my meta runs ITC rules (2+ rerollable 2nd roll is a 4+ max). Also, completely agreed on paint scheme!

Drugs didn't get my attention because it's seems melee focused on the average. The bonus VP definitely seemed like an option, but I wasn't convinced one point would or wouldn't make the cut. I'll do some homework on the new ITC missions.

Actual Dark Lances don't seem *horrendous* to get ahold of. I'll try that route, I believe I have 2 already!

Again with the better or worse ITC comment, at LVO they ruled the Void is allowed to select their powers a la Sevrin Loth. This made a big swing to me on the utility argument. The Perils hurts - but if you can nail Aethermancy #6 on a Wulfen squad you'd best bring a beer and a shoulder to cry on for your opponent.

I'm entirely open to an Eldar CAD addition. A Wraithknight and supporting Farseer would be tremendously helpful. I couldn't come up with a list I liked attempting to make that happen though.
