so after a few games ive decided that phase shifter is a must with all the melta and even plasma running around the table
royal court jumps in the ark and the other 2 harbingers each join a warrior squad that sit back in a building or on an objective
tesla immortals advance if they need to whilst being supported by the annihilation barges
the barge lords do what they do and go after any high AV targets and anything with big guns (long fangs, obliterators etc)

comments and criticism please and thankyou

[gooben]

anything at all to say about this list?

[blackjack]

Barge spam is a good competitive list. I think you waste too many points on baubles for your over lords (scyth, barge mabye semp weav nothing more). Immortals > warriors in small numbers (more suvivable, can move and shoot 24). And needs some scarabs or wraiths (at 1.5k i have seen them worked in) but more or less have the accepted net list build here.

[gooben]

ill cut back on the baubles and see what wraiths and scarabs i can work in

i ended up with this:

i had 15 points let over so i gave on of the lords semp. weave
i cant say no to mindshackle scarabs as they've killed so much on there own and saved the lord just as much

if you are just running the immortals for objectives might be better to get the warrior units in greater numbers, just have them sit on an objective in cover as out of LOS as possible. and it might just be me, but it feels a little light on the anti-tank

I would also drop one of the whip coils for some wound allocation

[blackjack]

3 wraiths is a waste they will be shot up before they do anything, you need a much larger unit.

Here try this.

2 Lords, Barges, Scyths = 360
8 destructo crytpects, 8 lances, 2 pulses = 320

5 warriors = 65
3x 5 immortals = 255

6 Wraiths 2 coils = 230

3 Anni Barges = 270pts

total 1500pts on the dot


A bit light on scoring units but T5 3+ and renaimation as well as cryptecs for extra bodies should be enough at 1.5k. Probably want another coil as well but points are hard to come by if you want to keep your wraith numbers up. At higher pionts get more troops a second wraith wing and or a few scarab hordes. 3 more warriors and an Ark might be good too (10 with cryptecs to fit inside).

If you don't want to spend the points for a usefull unit of wraiths scarabs will serve you better, go to a unit of 7 scarabs insetead of wraiths and you can afford an ark for more av13.

immortals arent toughness 5 dude
and the bargelords are fairly decent anti tank since they can take out landraiders with little effort
but im considering taking out the wraiths and weave on the lord for 10 scarabs

changed it again after realizing that 3 wraiths die far too easily to missile/melta spam

Hi,
I would drop the ghost ark to buy more warriors and then double court something like 3 warrior squads.
Would give you more bodies and might be more effective then a concentrated antitank court.
Hope it helps.
