http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Sadly, school, practice, and my girlfriend have not left me much time nor money to buy more stuff, or to build and paint. Thus, this list represents what I can produce, though I could probably make an agreement for proxies with my opponent.

HQ
Overlord w/ Scythe, MSS, Orb, Shifter - 190
Lord w/ Scythe, MSS, Weave, Orb - 105
Veiltek - 60

Elites
5x Deathmarks - 95
Gauss Stalker - 165

Troops
10x Tesla Immortals - 170
10x Tesla Immortals - 170

Fast Attack
6x Wraiths w/ 2x Whipcoils - 230
9x Scarabs - 135

Heavy Support
2x Anni Barges - 180

Total: 1500 pts.

The Plan: This is an opponent I have faced before. Knowing him, he'll have two Orbital Bombardments at his disposal (Calgar and a Biker Chapter Master). From what I remember, he played a vigorous defense, only coming out to take objectives. This time, he has noted about being more aggressive with his forces. I intend to respond in kind.
Everyone will be somewhat spread out, with the Barges on one side, the Stalker on the other. The Immortal Squads will shift from cover to cover towards objective(s)/enemies. Scarabs will provide a firing screen for troops. Wraiths will provide counter-attack. In the meantime, the Death-Despair squad will deepstrike and target units of opportunity (Terminators, Calgar), with assistance from the Stalker.
I realize there's not much High Strength stuff in here. Other than that, any suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6952833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6952833.page GMT
With both Calgar and a Chapter Master on a bike, that leaves him just 1000 points or less for troops and heavy support... seeing as he plans to play aggressive, he'll probably bring 3 pods of tacticals and a bike squad for his Chapter Master... so I'd say your wraiths can eat up the tac squads, and scarabs can tie up the bikes... so I really don't think you'll have too much of a problem if he jumps right into your lines.

The real problem is if you have to run at him... he then gets the chance to wipe your scarabs with TFC fire or flamers, and then out-range your barges with lascannons until the explode. You will be alright at the mid-range game I think.

But that was when creating tons of them was a "thing" not so much now. Honestly rending death makrs aren't bad either, but your tesla will be brutal just in terms of pure volume.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6961712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6961712.page GMT
with the lord, for that many points you might as well convert him to an overlord. If you adjust the wraith and scarab units, you can then give the overlord MSS, SW and scythe, plus get another veiltek. Then, veil the immortal squad with Zandy around the table! Not many people expect that, and the squad can take out devastators etc T1. Try not to get assaulted though, range is your friend.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6962046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6962046.page GMT @Garretash: yeah, that's what I figure for Tesla vs Marines.
@Clincher: So, instead of having scarabs up front, you're advocating keeping them in the back. Alright, something to consider, then.
Thanks for all the replies! I'll have the battle report up as soon as I can.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6965071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601461/6965071.page GMT
