After a few games with another re-vamped Mechdar list that enabled me to get my Wraithknight in, I think I am ready to make a few decisions regarding my Jetbike units. I have noticed that my six strong Jetbike units always go down in one turn of shooting or assault if they get targeted, regardless of how well I am using them! So what is the ideal unit size?
The conclusion at the moment is for me to have four units of three rather than two units of six, I only had four troop slots previously, so I have the space for them. It would also mean that I could drop the two Warlocks I had with the larger bike squades. The Warlocks weren't that great anyway, and sort of went against the idea of reserving them, as I couldn't get the Psychic Powers up from reserve, and then when I did get the chance, failed the Leadership eight roll anyway! With the Warlocks dropped and a few tweaks here and there, I am able to get a second unit of Warp Spiders into the list and fill out my Troops slots at the same time...

I like the list quite a lot actually, but the only thing that im curious about is the warp spider exarch? How come you have him? Is it just points left over?
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, and that's a good point. There are two reasons really, one, yes because I had the points left over, but two, because I have a really cool exarch jumping off a dead Orks head that I really like using, so I play him if I can :)
ReplyDeleteWell i can't fault that then. If it was just points i would have suggested a fire dragon exarch instead but who can argue with a cool model?
ReplyDelete+1to that. Looking interesting. Eagerly awaiting the battle report.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope to get a game in soon :)
ReplyDeleteNice list. Some heavy punch: check. Mobility: check. Nice models: check. Everything is covered.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy :D
