This is a tricky list.
I deploy the aegis as far up as possible, running it length wise and with no spaces.
Then i run my scarabs up to the the aegis and get them to man the quad gun.(not sure how its possible)
they are almost totally block from LOS and anything that sees them, they gain a 4+ cover save behind aegis.They are then pumped up and protected from psykers with prism bubbles.
They can even use their entropic strike with the quad gun.

These couple of blobs protect mid field and make a giant speed bump to protect my many warriors.
If anything gets through i have spyders and a blob of 15 with overlord as back up, with a spare lord for challenge denial.
Then there is a very cheap unit, a 3 man court of a veiltek and 2 stormteks that can teleport behind pesky NLOS vehicles and heavies without much risk of scatter with only 3 guys.
This unit is a pain in the ass,as it wrecks vehicles and the ever-living rule makes it so that its very hard to keep dead.

I don't like your troops selection nor if your court helping as much as it could.

The problem you have with scarabs is that it means you're not taking annihilation barges which are broken in 6th and nothing really dovetails well with scarabs in the rest of the FoC. Only really the sub par Preatorians fit. Possibly arkwarriors?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406511.page GMT My attempt at a usable scarab farm for 6th.

I guess the argument is, the model has the Entropic Strike rule, not their CCW (which is not listed). So, they get Entropic Strike when shooting or in melee.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406530.page GMT My attempt at a usable scarab farm for 6th.

In melee, this is obvious, but trying to claim that extends to shooting as well just reeks of blatant RAW abuse.

Oddly enough it looks like it's legal. The Entropic Strike rule makes no distinction between melee or not, it just specifies a weapon or model with this rule...

I imagine this was certainly not intended when Scarabs were put together and they really shouldn't have BS2 but unless there's some reason a swarm can't man a gun or if the scarabs cannot draw LOS from behind an ADL I think this is ok. (Haven't used the ADL/Quadgun so I don't know if LOS is drawn from the gun or the model manning it)

I now have this image of scarabs catapulting themselves at flyers and chomping through armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406730.page GMT Re:My attempt at a usable scarab farm for 6th. LoS to anything on the other side of the ADL. So while they can shoot the quadgun with Entropic Strike they probabl'y won't be able to actually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406739.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514953/5406739.page GMT My attempt at a usable scarab farm for 6th.

Doesn't every army list in the games have trouble with 3 helldrakes? How many points are they? 200? If they have 3 that's 600 points, 1/3 of their army that has to wait till at least turn 2 to come on the board. Unreliably I may add.in my experience unless you have nothing else to shoot at ignoring flyers and just focusing the troops on the board is the best strategy.very ironic considering necrons previously suffered from phase out.

Monty Zahndrekh's Flying Circus is the bane of Helldrakes, no matter the number.

'course, they're the bane of just about everything else, too, at the moment.
