http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net MEQ's in mind. my other main opponent is eldar, and i think QS will be interesting against those lances!

Overlord (225)
- CCB (gauss Cannon)
- Scythe
-Phaseshifter

2 x Triarch Stalkers (300)

10x Warriors, w/ Ghost Ark (245)
10x Warriors w/GhostArk (245)

2x 6 scarab swarms (180)

2 xTomb spyders (100)
2 x annihilation Barges, gauss cannons (180)

Total 1475

the lord is a bit pricey, but i expect the CCB to get melta'd to bits. Triarch stalkers seem a fragile for what they are - a Dread CC weapon would make them maybe worth it, but i don't know how the twin linked rule will work and if they may be useful in terms of distraction value. the other option are lychguard in nighscythe, but that loses a bit of the mech feel....

Put a gloom prism on one of your spiders for wound allocation shenanigans, and consider taking a third one with a fab array. They're rather undercosted since you're basically making 30 points back on each one for the first two turns.

The CCB probably isn't getting melta'd to bits, since he still makes the sweep attacks when moving flat out. the 4+ save will mean that it'll take more than a single melta shot to reliably bring it down (2/3rds of the shots will whiff altogether!)

@ostrakon, thanks, not something i considered fully. I can't wait till the new models come out so I can playtest...

I think with the extra points i'll add a lone spyder...a few T6 MC wounds, helping a scarab squad can't hurt too much, even though running in pairs would be preferable. or just boost the existing squad to 3?

Gives them a long range AT punch and allows you more flexibility for targetting systems.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3571639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3571639.page GMT
But some math-hammer shows that the heat ray is as good or better at glancing and/or penetrating, so really you're dishing out extra points for the range and the subsequent targetting relay effectiveness, whilst losing out on the melta and template combo.

i guess it just comes down to preference, but i'll probly save the points...for now at least!

at the end of the day, i'm keeping the stalkers for a bit of AT punch, and keeping in the mech theme. It provides a couple of juicy targets, so mahybe use them (expensive) distractions, or deploy near another unit as a melta deterrent...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3575682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3575682.page GMT
Triarch Stalkers are cool, but I feel for the points they won't be affective because they will become victim of target priority. See how theya re I guess.

Agreed on the stalkers' cost... It'll be interesting to see how useful they are with targeting relay but i think they have to be seen as a tactical option rather than a reliable AT. If they're just lasting one turn but soaking up extra fire and helping me annihilate another killr unit, then great. It they're a flop, oh well, depends on the other person's tactics too... Only way to find out is to play test so really hoping the models come out soon! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3579934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/410546/3579934.page GMT
