Been toying with this list for a while now and i THINK im just about settled but it feels... undecided. Its mostly around my HQ.
Originally i was planning on...
List A
-------
CAD (1529)
Autarch - Skyrunner, Laser Lance, Banshee Mask
Windriders x4 - Scatter Lasers x4
Windriders x4 - Scatter Lasers x4
Windriders x4 - Scatter Lasers x4
Shining Spears x6 - Exarch
WraithGuard x5 - D-Scythes, Wave Serpent + Starcannon
WraithGuard x5 - D-Scythes, Wave Serpent + Starcannon
WraithKnight
Formation: Aspect Host (466)
Swooping Hawks x6 - Exarch
Dark Reapers x5 - Exarch, Starshot Missiles
Dark Reapers x5 - Exarch, Starshot Missiles
Total = 1995
...but the more i think about it, i feel im missing out on the Psychic Phase, and without the Autarch i feel the Spears are probably sub-par too so.....
or List B
---------
CAD (1495)
Farseer - Windrider, Singing Spear
Windriders x4 - Shuriken Cannons
Windriders x4 - Scatter Lasers
Windriders x4 - Scatter Lasers
Swooping Hawks x6 - Exarch
Wraithguard x5 - D Scythes, Wave Serpent + Starcannon
Wraithguard x5 - D Scythes, Wave Serpent + Starcannon
WraithKnight
Formation: Aspect Host (503)
Warp Spiders x7 - Exarch
Dark Reapers x5 - Exarch, Starshot Missiles
Dark Reapers x5 - Exarch, Starshot Missiles
Total = 1998
In the second i added a Farseer and since most of his effective Range is 24" the extra Scatter Laser range would actually be a hinderance so ive give his units Shuriken Cannons instead. Then i moved the Hawks from the Formation to the CAD as their BS isnt as Vital with the Blast markers (plus theyre still BS4 after all) and replaced the Spears with Warp Spiders. Not quite as many as id like (usually 8) but couldnt scrape the points together.
Its literally a choice of Which HQ and which Aspect Squad fills the final 150/160 points. Spiders i know are awesome and i really do want to use them but i worry if ive already got enough Firepower (my Inner Ork hates me for that statement) and lack a little counter punch but saying that the Spiders are a little better at putting wounds on Monstrous Creatures, which, although i shouldnt have a problem with looking at the list, is nice to have options.
