[The French Guy]

Hi,
I like your list. ^^
I would try to give a chrono tek to anrakyr and the immortals. The only other thing I would change might be the destroyers for 4-5 kitted wraiths.
Hope it helps.

20 warriors is 260 not 195

[Buddha777]

So after another game I'm ditching anrankyr; the lack of inval save is just too much of a hinerance to his effectiveness. Here's what I will be running next, let me know what you think.

[Lord Khabal]

If I were you I would "blob" obyron, the overlord and nemesor with the lychguard and 2 chronometron cryptecs for safe DS and reroll the invul saves.
20 warriors does not costs 195 pts and i dont really see the point for that unit in this list. No matter how much you equip your overlord with, 20 warriors get punked in H2H by most stuff anyway...

[Buddha777]

Gah I thought I fixed the proper cost of the warrior blob from satyr's post. Well it add up right if you count it as 260 but regardless, I am a little unsure on the warrior blob. On the one hand it has preformed wonderfully in games creating a great anvil. Other times it has been swept in CC fairly easily.

What I might do is split 5 warriors off for another mini-devastator unit with 2 destruction crypteks and adding a chorno cryptek to the lycguard as suggested to help with any DS problems.

This.

I have seen this happen quite some times (in just a few battles). 20 warrior squad with tooled lord, it gets owned in combat every time.
So just an idea, add in a despair cryptek with veil. This gives you the option to run (teleport) out of an already lost situation. (ex. versus 2 combat squads), and with a chronotek it becomes a reliable deepstrike unit.
Also this unit is not for combat keep the lord cheap. Pharaoh, scythe, 2+ save to soak wounds. He can still run out of the unit and nuke a vehicle or a 5 man quad marines. The decrease in points makes it pay for the despairtek in itself.

The lightingtek might be better off in the immortals adding in anti infantry power and giving this unit the ability to stun/disrupt tanks at the same time.

I'd add Nemesor in with the lychguard making them able to soak up wounds and not making you lose Obyron to a smart opponent that engages the immortals in the same combatphase. Also a Cronotek with a re-roll and 3++ would beef synergise the unit to new hights (teleport, rerolling saves/protocols((now on a 4+))).

Do you have specific questions about your list. Its difficult to give constructive advice with only a army list to comment on.

[Buddha777]

Humm all good points. I tried to incorporate many of those suggestions and I edited the list above.

As for specific questions it's more of playstyle tactics since I do run my army in a hammer and anvil manner. I'm hoping with the changes I'm minimizing liability while maximizing deadliness; I just hope I havn't left the anvil portion, the warrior blob, too unprotected to do its job.

Any other advice is appreciated.
