So. As it stands my 1800 tournament list is almost finalised. Ive just about gotten to the point now where my models are bought/ordered, i just need to assemble them and get it ready. The Problem is i have 30 points left over and im not sure what to do with it.
Heres the list as it stands
Obyron - 160
Destroyer Lord - 160 + Weave, Scarabs
Warriors x5 - Night Scythe -165
Warriors x5 - Night Scythe -165
Warriors x5 - Night Scythe -165
Immortals x10 - Gauss Blasters - 170 (Obyron Here for Teleporter Objective BS)
Wraiths x6 - 230 + Whipcoils x2 (D-Lord Here)
Destroyers x5 - 200
Annihilation Barge - 90 - Gauss Cannon
Annihilation Barge - 90 - Gauss Cannon
Doomsday Ark - 175
Total = 1770 (1800 limit)
As you can see theres not all that much in the way of Upgrading that can go on here and i dont have access to a Royal Court.
So im after some advice on what to take. The actual units are fixed. Don't start preaching the virtues of Doomscythes or Tomb Blades, ive agonised over the list for long enough, only how they perform on the Tabletop is gonna change this now. As i see it, here are my options....
Option A
30 Point item on the Destroyer Lord.
He can get a Tachyon Arrow for a Vehicle Pop or more likely i think a Res Orb. Now, i know hes not gonna get much use out of it being that he hangs out with the Wraiths but it does raise my chances of getting HIM back up and i can always add him to Obyrons unit late game if theyre still alive on an Objective.
Option B
Upgrade 1 of the Warrior units to Immortals for that increased save and better weaponry but they are still just objective Grabbers. Leaves me 10 points spare so maybe another WhipCoil on the Wraiths.
Option C
Upgrade 1 of my Destroyers to a Heavy Destroyer, again leaving 10 spare for another Whip Coil but if im honest the Destroyers dont need it. Theyre anti-infantry and a Heavy dilutes their focus.
Option D
Drop 1 unit of Warriors, give their Scythe to Obyrons unit and give myself 95 points to play with. Again cant do much with it though. 5 Death Marks? 6 Scarab Bases? 2 Destroyers? 3 Particle TombBlades? Increase the remaining Warriors to units of 8? Upgrade them to 6 Immortals? etc.
Personally im leaning towards A or B as theyre the simplest, not too keen on option D, but its still an option.
So. Thats that. Any thoughts?
