Basically a MSU list with good ground mobility and average strng 6-8 ap- shooting.
Assassins supplement that /w ap 3 power weapons
Farseer supports the spiders /w guide and prescience for the cannons
Warpspider's are mobile anti infantry helping vs riptides.
Dreadknight provides some defense vs rush armies and if unchecked will wreck havoc on their backfield objectives
Coteaz rides in the raven, looking to set up an assault whatever way we can supporting /w prescience.

I like everything except the dreadknight. I don't quite understand how he helps you against rush lists. Do you mean rush lists like White Scars (Who will destroy him via grav/plasma) or are you specifically targeting daemons.



I'll be looking to assault both of those types of squads. Will take a couple turns depending on the # of models but will consistently win vs them.

Simple LOS blocking terrain will help when I'm forced to go 1st which I really want to avoid with this list since I have great scoring units and a anti-air flier coming in.

TBH I am unsure about the dreadknight, I wanted an ap2 ranged threat that is durable but the knight isn't THAT durable these days. Especially when theres just one.

I want to test it out. Wraithknight /w a suncannon was also a consideration. I just wish I could take a riptide. WOW do I want a riptide in this army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344413.page GMT 1500 GK Henchmen /w Eldar Ally http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344425.page GMT 1500 GK Henchmen /w Eldar Ally

Don't forget Cortez's best ability, free intercepting shots! Exploit it!


That's arguably Coteaz' worst ability, but I do love maximizing my models special rules. It's tough to get something to end up within 12" of you after reserve with a t3 model. THEN Coteaz' squad has to have something worth shooting with.

A lot of hoops to jump throgh]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344482.page GMT 1500 GK Henchmen /w Eldar Ally http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6344508.page GMT 1500 GK Henchmen /w Eldar Ally

Plasma cannon servitors are the most popular choice. And kick butt too. Don't see that as too much of a hoop. Dropping 3 ap2 blasts on deepstrikers/drop podders. He acts as a deterrent more which is worth every penny as you have a no go 12' bubble around him.


They used to be very popular, I own 6 converted myself and I love 'em for fluff reasons.

Infantry without dedicated cover saves or a transport REALLY get blown out of the water in 6th, they have very very poor mobility especially with plas cannons and most things will break their armor. I've ran the plas cannons before and it's tough to get them to work, they always get targeted first.

I'm considering running him /w an aegis defence line manning the quad gun just to give me more longe range threats /w the plas servitor's and 9 naked acolytes just to soak up wounds.

It's tough though, 12'' isn't that much and I feel a lot of the time his 2nd warpcharge get's wasted a lot where in an assault vehicle forewarning/precog/can we very good.

It'd be interesting to run something like this over the Dreadknight:

Aegis /w Quad
3x Servitor /w plas cannon
9x acolytes
Ordo Maelleus lvl 1 Inquisitor

Actively switch where you deploy each inquisitor, Coteaz get's forewarning? Stormraven and nominate the inquis for warlord hoping to get orbital bombardment or whatever.
Coteaz is forced to get scrier's gaze? Smack him on the quad gun and bank on having good reserve rolls.

Supports the Rhino's and Dreadnought nicely aswell.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6345022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568356/6345022.page GMT
