Previously, I looked at a dual Doomsday Ark list with my two recently painted interchangeable Arks. In this post, I want to look at using those two models as Ghost Arks instead, which I am sure is what they will end up being most of the time anyway. I have recently got myself another OOP Tomb Spyder, giving me six in total, so maybe it's time for me to start working on my first Scarab Farm list with my sixty three Scarab bases...
So, with thirty Scarabs filling out the Fast Attack slot and the accompanying six Tomb Spyders, what else to take? HQ wise, it has to be the Stormlord to keep those Scarabs as safe as can be with his night fight ability, and the mandatory Crono Cryptek, to keep the night fight going for long as possible. As this list is basically based around the Scarabs, then why not focus on that, and take it one step further and make them Super Scarabs? Enter Namesor for his furious charge buff! A lot of points yes, but I think it could work, as long as I have enough points to get some troops in! Two Ghost Arks with five Warriors in each will leave me enough points for a unit of nine Immortals, for the Stormlord and Crono Cryptek to join, which hopefully will just about be enough...

Take the 2 Squads fo 3 spyders and move them to 3 Squads of 2 and take the left over points to get you a third Gloom Prism. This way you have full wound allocation for all 6 of your spiders giving you and a broader bubble of Gloom prism for your army (Left > Middle > Right). This will also increase there survivablity as your opponent can focus fire two targets to shut down your birthing. Now he has 3 targets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input, I did consider that, but thought it would just be another kill point. Not sure about the 'left over points', I would need an extra 15pts that way and I only have 7 spare.
