Hint: An Autarch won't be krumping anyone in assault. Better to invest in a Fusion Gun.

Not sure you need the RoWi, but everything else is great.

If you can afford her, you can fit another Banshee into the Wave Serpent and still have carry space for the Autarch. The Bright Lances are a gamble, but some people swear by them.

Spelt Scorpian, by the way - screw the Biting Blade, you're just robbing yourself of attacks. But keep the squad otherwise as-is.

Quote:
Squad of 8 Wraithguard, Spiritseer with Conceal
= 326 points
Very durable unit.

Quote:
Squad of 8 Dire Avengers, Exarch with Two Avenger SC & Bladestorm
= 128 points
Lots of dakka, I prefer a tooled-out Exarch, but it's a very effective squad.

Quote:
Squad of 4 Guardian Jetbikes, 1 shurikan cannon
Warlock with Singing Spear & Conceal
= 139 points
Some nice minor tank hunting, fairly resilient too.

Quote:
Wraithlord with Scatter Laser & EML
= 135 points
Some good shootyness there, very effective against both vehicles and infantry.

Looks pretty good. A couple questions for you, though.

1) Your Autarch has a Warp Generator. He cannot join the Banshee Squad in the Wave Serpent. With the generator he counts as Jump Infantry.

2) Farseer. What is your plan for him? He costs a lot of points for no real apparent purpose. What about dropping the Spirit Stones & Powers and toss him with the Banshees with Eldritch Storm? You could also drop your Spirit Seer, give the Farseer Fortune and stick him with the Wraithlords / Wraithguard. Finally, you could give him Doom and put him with the Wraithguard. Why? Well, Doom will let you re-roll any non Instant Death to-wound rolls with the Wraighguard guns.

3) Banshees. Acrobatic probably isn't a good power here. War Shout would be better. But with the Wave Serpent, the unit should be charging most of the time.

4) Jetbikes. Looks good. You could probably drop the 4th bike and focus on using the unit as a cheap & mobile shuriken cannon platform. If you're going to use them up close & personal, drop the cannon and pick up another bike.

Good luck,
Em

The reasoning for the 4th bike is a mater of it staying a scoring unit. With a squad of three the opponent has to drop two bikes and the squad is no longer scoring, but with a squad of four he has to drop three bikes.

I'll take off acrobatic then.

I like that plan. ;D I'll go for it.

:-[ I guess oops does not cover it.

Why don't I try this,

Autarch with Power weapon & Reaper launcher, Warp jump generater
= 133 points
(I'll use his Independent Character status & Warp generator to harass enemy units with the Reaper launcher.)

Farseer with Singing spear, Runes of warding, Spirit stones
Doom
Fortune
= 148 points

Squad of 10 Howling banshees, Exarch with Mirrorswords
= 182 points
Wave Serpent with shurikan cannon & TL Bright Lances, Spirit Stones & Vectored Engines
= 175 points

Squad of 8 Striking Scorpions, Exarch with Scorpion Claw & Shadow Strike
= 175 points

Squad of 8 Wraithguard
= 280 points

Squad of 8 Dire Avengers, Exarch with Two Avenger SC & Bladestorm
= 128 points

Squad of 4 Guardian Jetbikes, 1 shurikan cannon
Warlock with Singing Spear & Conceal
= 139 points

Wraithlord with Scatter Laser & EML
= 135 points

=1495 points

Warshout is not a very good power at all. It relies on the target to fail a leadership based test. As we all know in 40k there are not a lot of low leadership armies out there. Perhaps it would be good against Orks maybe Guard. If you are facing Marines and they have "Shall know no fear" forget about this power working. I would save the points for somthing else.

This kit is extremly dangerous. Remember if you make a jump and roll doubles goodbye Autarch. He needs to be in a unit of Spiders to really make the Warp Jump Generator safe. I would go back to the Fusion Gun. If you want to give him mobility give him Hawk Wings. Atleast he can not kill himself in the Warp. If you go with the Fusion Gun Hawk Wings you can Character hunt and Tank hunt.

Much better! That should preform well. I would also suggest that you might want to think about placing the Dire Avengers in the Wave Serpent. It creats a nice effect when you ride up 12 inches disembark bladestorm a unit to hell and if it doesnt break them or kill them shoot them with the serpent.

Aun,

Sorry it took me so long to get here. Now that you've refined it a bit, let me see if I can help tweak it.

-Personally, I'd go with the above poster: Drop the excess equipment, stick with a power Weapon, Banshee mask, and Fusion Gun. Run the Autarch with the Banshees. Doom from the Seer can then trun the Autarch and the girls into a ravening force fo destruction. The Extra Point freed up will allow us to upgrade your Wraithguard.

-Perfect, change nothing. I assume that he will march up the field with the Wraiths?

-I favor Brightlances here over starcannons, but thats personal preference talking. I find that an Executioner is far more useful than mirrorswords. Up to you though.

-I would drop Shadowstrike, and run these as counter-assault for the Wraithguard. If the Wraiths taje serious casualties, the Seer can fall back and fortune this unit instead. THis will also split the enemy's attention. Do they fire at the wraiths, or the impending scorpions?

-Good Support.

By adding the Fusiongun to the Autarch you gain some much-needed anti-tank, and have a fluffy leader to run with the Banshees; and the Wraithbone-wall is reinforced.

Thoughts?
