I'm not 100% sure on this DE list. I keep feeling that there is something that is going to let me down, and I'll admit that I'm wary of the anti-mech ability. I won't field Trueborn, before anyone suggests them, but other units I am more than open to suggestions about in both tactics and list changes.

Baron Sathonyx

20 Hellions w/ Agonizer and Helliarch

3x Warriors (x5) with Blaster
mounted in 3x Venom w/ Cannon and Nightshields

2x Wyches (x10) w/ Hekatrix and Agonizer and haywire Grenades
mounted in 2x Raider w/ Nightshields and Flickerfieldsm and Aethersails

3x Razorwing Jetfighters w/ Nightshields, flickerfield, and Splinter Cannon

In my local metagame, I am seeing a decrease in mech and an increase in foot units as players field more and more Grey Knights and Space Marines. Vehicle selections are composed of more and more Dreadnoughts and walkers with the radical improvements introduced by Blood Angels and Grey Knights. Fewer tanks in general. Almost no Imperial Guard though I've seen recent Valkyrie lists making a big splash from some of our new players.

Not worried about our newest Tyranid players.

I would lose the two razorwings and replace with ravagers youll need the darklances to kill the dreads, plus they are cheaper which frees up more points for other stuff
and nothing kills infantry better that 5 trueborn with 2 splinter cannons 3 shardcarbines on a venom with 2 splintercannon. thats thats 29 poison shots on the move and 33 standing still.
it kills monstrous creatures just as well also.

just my 2 pennies
