Archons ride with blasterborn in venoms, warriors run rings around opponents, wyches stab things into submission.


Comments?

Why do your Hekatrices have phantasm grenades? You could give their Raiders Flickerfields with those points!

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

Grenades for the assault troops...for assaulting units in cover?

If I was looking to trim things down I would probably drop the shock prows and chain snares.

[Julian Sharps]

Except that Wyches already come with assault grenades; all Phantasm Grenades do for them is give them defensive grenades.

The advantage of prows and snares is that it gives the Raider another role once it's unloaded its cargo of death upon the enemy. An example of how useful it can be is this: T1: Raider zooms forward into assault range for its 4+ cover save for moving flat-out (aethersails can help here). T2: Wyches disembark, Raider continues on its merry 12" way and hopefully takes out a model or two with its snares to soften the target up before the Wyches hit them. Raider takes a potshot at enemy armor/MCs, and depending on numbers the Wyches might open up on their targets with their pistols; if not, no shooting for them. Wyches assault target and start killing things.

Besides, the advantage of Prows is that when your Raider loses its lance, you can always ram at 24+". Such a ram attack reaches S 10 pretty easily...

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

So they do. That's pretty handy.

Still not entirely sold on the vehicle upgrades, sure they sound nice...and after some thought I just might give the shock prow a try at some point, but I'd still take flickerfields over either of those things, and I don't really believe in dropping too many points into my transports.

[Julian Sharps]

The great thing? You can do both in the same turn.

*facepalm*


How did I not see that?!


Goddamn, list editing will come after school.

[Walrus]

Okay, list edited. Swapped the Phantasm launchers for flickerfields. My pay was short, so no new stuff for another fortnight.
