******************************************************************************
About half of the time this whole list would probably start off in reserve. It seems to have a lot of flexibility, and just enough Obsec to cover critical objectives. I went for the spiritseer to give the D-scythe wraithguard guaranteed re-roll to wound instead of bringing a farseer for guiding the cloudstrike because guide is liable to be denied.

The only thing I'm unsure about in this list is the 2nd squad of fire dragons, but I couldn't think of a better option. This list has fairly strong board presence and maneuverability, and could still beta strike against drop pods if needed.

Let me know which one you would bring and why!
I really appreciate the input.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8879348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8879348.page GMT IMO, i would find a way to make 2-3 of the cloud strikes fire dragons.

also, what plans do you have for AA? will the reapers cut it?

other then that, the list seems solid. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8880193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8880193.page GMT DA squads were overkill for the amount of objective secured I need in the cloudstrike, 1 will do. In the first list I put the second squad of OS dire avengers in a wave serpent for another Obejective secured unit. IN the second list I dropped the 2nd squad of dire avengers since the wraithguard count as troops with the iyanden supplement (used the extra points on star engines for d-scythe guard and an extra dire avenger).

I tried to streamline the lists as best as I could without using bikes. They look a lot more similar now, but that means it should be harder to pick which one is better. The biggest problem with both lists is anti-air, and the biggest difference between them is that list 1 has dark reapers and list 2 has d-scythe wraithguard. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884221.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884601.page GMT
That being said, I like the idea of the Cloudstrike. Have you tried it yet? I'm curious myself]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701381/8884653.page GMT
Also just for clarification, I did change the lists to put 2 fire dragon squads in each cloudstrike.

Even though the falcons have to fire at one target I don't think it's wasted. Especially since everything else is split up into multiple small shooting attacks

I know these aren't 'optimal' lists, but I never really liked all the jetbikes from 6th and 7th ed. I'm trying to bring back tank/serpent spam, but I could use some help comparing what would have the best chance against a top tier list.
