This is just with looking at the Codex for a day and playing around with ideas but I think this is a fairly efficient 1500 point list and being that this is the points cost the game is designed for according to the rules and being that in the UK it seems that this is the most practised I thought I'd try it out.
HQ
Overlord w/ Warscythe - 100
Royal Court
Cryptek Harbringer of Destruction - 35 x 3
This seems like a fairly reasonable choice to me.
Troops
Immortals x 10 - 170
Immortals x 10 - 170
Warriors x 10 -130
Warriors x 10 w/Ghost Ark - 245
This can be up for debate really but I don't think it is necessary to have more than one transport for my troops and a Ghost Ark seemed a good option considering Quantum Shielding. I may well even remove it for something else though to be far to get in another Cryptek for that squad and use the rest of the points elsewhere.
Fast Attack
Canoptek Wraiths x 5 - 175
Canoptek Scarabs x 5 - 75
Wraiths are a no brainer in my opinion, they are a beastly unit and give the army a great CC punch. The Scarabs are also extremely useful and the reason for only five shall become clear.
Heavy Support
Canoptek Spyder x 3 - 150
Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90
The Annihilation Barge has a fantastic weapon and is dirt cheap so I had to take those. The Canoptek Spyders give me more Scarabs until a 1 is rolled but then also even if a 1 is rolled they still spawn one more. Having three of these gives me a near enough guaranteed 3 more which I like also gives me more CC.
Overall I think I have a nice selection of shooting and CC elements in this list. I will try and review when I have spent a little more time on it and I possibly will completely rip it apart but that remains to be seen. But until then please give your thoughts in the comments section. What you think I lack or have done wrong etc or whether you think it is in fact a good list.
This was thrown together rather quick so please don't be to harsh with your judgement haha.
Thanks,
Warflake Out.

its an ok list, but you don't really have any decent anti armor anti armor scarabs are devastating and can be rebuild by tomb spiders, but tha'ts really not enough. Also the new wraiths are only t4 and don't have RP so don't expect them to be able to last long even with their phase shifter. Also i strongly recommend the doomsday ark or 3 heavy destroyers instead of the annihilation barges. You get enough anti infantry with your troops. good choice with the crypteks though.
ReplyDeleteAs expected I thought someone might pull me up on that. I think I prefer the idea of three heavy destroyers rather than the doomsday ark personally. Theres a few other things I could play with for anti tank though. You have given me a bit to think about.
ReplyDeleteFigured I'd have a quick go at an alternative relative to Reloads advice.

There is a problem with your cyptek selection though. The way I read the rules in the army list section is that though you are not limited on how many of a specific type of harbringer you can have overall, each royal court can only have one of a specific type. So in order to have 3 harbringers of destruction, they would each need to be in their own royal court.
