http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net NOVA OPEN narrative campaign. Right now it's built around classic Ulthwe with a Seer Council, plenty of Guardians with Warlocks and Dark Reapers. The 3 units of Dark Reapers are being led by Maugen Ra himself.

I've never played in the narrative campaign at NOVA OPEN so I'm wondering if this list would be fun to play against or if people would hate it. Based on the supplement rules all the units in this list would gain Haywire grenades and Hit & Run.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to fit the Avatar into this list. I have the forgeworld model and it looks really cool.

War host
3x 10 gaurdians w/ ML platforms 270
3x warlocks (with Guardians) 105
2x warwalkers w/ BLances 140
2x Shadow Weavers Platforms 60
2x Vypers w/
starcannons and shur. cannons 120
1x Farseer 100

Hero
Maugen Ra 195

Seer Council
Eldrad 195
Farseer 100
7x Warlocks 245

Aspects
3x Dark Reapers w/ starshot
1x Exarch w/ ML 159
3x Dark Reapers w/ starshot
1x Exarch w/ ML 159
3x Dark Reapers w/ starshot
1x Exarch w/ ML 159

Total: 2007

I added up the points from memory. I have the codex at home. I'm positive I got the points correct with all the units except the Dark Reapers. I'm not quite sure I got the Exarchs' points correct. If there's left over points then I can sprinkle Spears into the warlocks and farseers but since the NOVA OPEN supplement is going to give all my units Haywire grenades, I figured they weren't required. Any thoughts? If you were to have a fun game against me, would you look at this list and think 'yeah this is going to be a fun game' or 'nope... don't want to play this'.

Also, advice on which psychic tables to roll on would be good. I'm thinking Eldrad will roll in the Eldar table since he has decent odds to get something useful and I'd want to cast most of my powers from this table (Fortune, Guide, Eldritch Storm, Doom) The more powers cast by Eldrad, the more likely I'll get some warp charges back.

The other Farseer from the council will roll in Sanctic. Gate of Infinity or Sanctuary would be great for the unit.

The non-Seer Council Farseer will roll in Telepathy or Divination. Not sure what to do with him. I could make him try to get something to buff the Council, or dedicate him to buffing the Warwalkers, Vypers or Dark Reapers. Not sure.

Also, I could dedicate the entire council to buffing duty. There's a ton of ways to run psychic powers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800674.page GMT EML (5 total models) you're looking at 192 points. 4x total models is 159. Reaper Exarch is 5 points more expensive than your average Exarch upgrade.

You'll need to adjust your list either way to make up for the points. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800735.page GMT
That means I need to trim 7 points somewhere. Were you adding 8 points for starshot on the exarch, despite him not having the reaper weapon?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800744.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800764.page GMT EML is a bit more expensive than I thought. I guess I can swap one of the Exarch's weapons to something cheaper so I'm below 2000.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800773.page GMT EML on the Exarch since he still has fast shot - With the EML getting flakk missiles by default now, having those two two shots can be handy in a last ditch situation. Since you will have 9 total AA shots between the Exarchs and the Guardians this can be good for your list since you don't have a dedicated AA unit.

While I like the idea of Maugan, He's a lot of points for a gimmick. I would drop him to get the 7 points back, and then take some other unit or add models to your Reapers/Vypers/Weavers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/646933/7800837.page GMT
