"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Dire Avenger load out and Eldar Aspect Assault Wave for Apoc, how useful? Apoc formation, but it's special abilities aren't amazing so I won't repeat them).

Basically for an upcoming apoc game, I will be taking the front lines while my partner holds the home field. I'll be running a heavy mech army, but my concern is holding the front/middle objectives. (For our apoc game there will be only 3 objectives, not 6).

My aspect assault wave will have a full squad of scorpions, banshees, fire dragons, and two dire avengers.
The current load out is
5x serpents All TL bright lances, vectored engines, star engines,
10x scorps, exarch, stalker, claw
10x banshees, exarch, executioner, war shout, acrobatic
10x fire dragons, exarch, flamer, tank hunters,
(2x) 10x dire avengers, exarch bladestorm with ???
The formation will also be riding with Eldrad, an autarch, and a squad of 12 jetbikes with a farseer and warlock will be near by for support (btw, what power should the warlock have... i'm thinking conceal)

Either way I look at it, I'm definitely giving the avenger exarchs both bladestorm. But I was wondering if giving them defend, with a power weapon and shimmer shield is worth it? It could make them pretty survivable with fortune up, right? Or should I stick to straight guns with dual catapults and let the scorps and banshees handle the brawling? Should I do a shooting load out with defend just in case? Or will all infantry die immediately so it really doesn't matter.


I'm not really sure.. so any advice would be nice.



Thanks!!!!

Exarch, FIrePike instead of flamer and split into 2 units, with an Exarch each.

The Apocs *I* see have played in, are heavy with tanks and armor, and the infantry matter little (unless I'd run 30 terminators), so the more anti-T the better, and as for the rest? Idk.
