Now GW has rewritten the rules on me and I don't know what to take for my 1000pt army. Anyrate here's the rough draft so far. If anyone could give some advice that would be awesome. The list has killing marines in mind since they will be my main opponent.
Autarch- powerweapon - 80pts (leads either banshees are Dire Avengers) like the minimum kit on this guy, cheap yet effective 
Dire Avengers x8 one is an exarch w/ powerweapon and shimmer shield
-wave serpent w/ brightlances -258pts get blade storm for these guys! and think about swapping the pw+ss for dual shuricats on the exarch. in this config you'd get 26 shots in one turn of shooting 
Guardians x13 with 1 warlock with conceal and a starcannon -169pts nifty, no problems here
Banshees x8 one is an exarch with an executionor
-wave serpent w/ brightlances -285pts mirror swords are better i think, even against marines. moe dice rolled = more dead marines 
Rangers x5 - 95pts (or perhaps 5 scorpions?) if you can find the points to up these guys to pathfinders then do it. you won't regret it at all. stick 'em in hard cover and they'll be almost inpossible to shift, trust me, i've tries
Fire Prism- 115pts yeah, why not
Any and all advice is welcome!
Thanks guys! |
