1500 all-comers Brigade
« on: June 26, 2017, 06:32:27 PM »
A MSU list with strength from death.
The general idea is to use soulburst a lot and using CP's to automatically succeed in morale tests, so all eldar deaths will have meaning ;) a.k.a soulbursts.
Everything is on foot and thereby is eligible for soulbursts.

I would have liked to get some transports but at 1500 points I just couldn't fit them:


++ Brigade Detachment +9CP (Aeldari - Ynnari) [82 PL, 1499pts] ++

+ HQ +

Archon [4 PL, 68pts]: Agoniser, Blast Pistol

Farseer [6 PL, 113pts]: 1. Guide, 2. Doom, Witchblade

Troupe Master [4 PL, 68pts]: Harlequin's Caress, Shuriken Pistol

+ Troops +

Guardian Defenders [4 PL, 97pts]: 10x Guardian Defender
. Guardian Heavy Weapons Platform: Shuriken Cannon

Kabalite Warriors [3 PL, 35pts]
. 4x Kabalite Warrior
. Sybarite: Splinter Rifle

Kabalite Warriors [3 PL, 35pts]
. 4x Kabalite Warrior
. Sybarite: Splinter Rifle

Storm Guardians [3 PL, 56pts]: 8x Storm Guardian - Aeldari Blade

Troupe [7 PL, 89pts]
. Player: Fusion Pistol, Harlequin's Blade
. Player: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol
. Player: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol
. Player: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol
. Player: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol

Wyches [3 PL, 49pts]
. Hekatrix: Agoniser, Splinter pistol
. 4x Wych

+ Elites +

Fire Dragons [6 PL, 120pts]
. 4x Fire Dragon: 4x Fusion Gun
. Fire Dragon Exarch: Dragon's Breath Flamer

Howling Banshees [4 PL, 92pts]
. 4x Howling Banshee: 4x Power Sword
. Howling Banshee Exarch: Shuriken Pistol & Executioner

Striking Scorpions [5 PL, 105pts]
. 4x Striking Scorpion: 4x Scorpion Chainsword
. Striking Scorpion Exarch: Shuriken Pistol & Biting Blade

+ Fast Attack +

Swooping Hawks [5 PL, 93pts]
. 4x Swooping Hawk: 4x Lasblaster
. Swooping Hawk Exarch: Power sword, Sunrifle

Warp Spiders [5 PL, 122pts]
. 4x Warp Spider: 4x Death Spinner
. Warp Spider Exarch: Powerblades, Two Death Spinners

Windriders [5 PL, 90pts]
. 3x Windrider - Twin Shuriken Catapults: 3x Twin Shuriken Catapult

+ Heavy Support +

Dark Reapers [5 PL, 89pts]
. 2x Dark Reaper: 2x Reaper Launcher
. Dark Reaper Exarch: Shuriken Cannon

Dark Reapers [5 PL, 89pts]
. 2x Dark Reaper: 2x Reaper Launcher
. Dark Reaper Exarch: Shuriken Cannon

Dark Reapers [5 PL, 89pts]
. 2x Dark Reaper: 2x Reaper Launcher
. Dark Reaper Exarch: Shuriken Cannon

++ Total: [82 PL, 1499pts] ++

Those reapers will be able to assign the first wound onto their Exarches, unless it's multidamage shots, which should keep them alive a little longer, and with splitfire available to everyone those shuriken cannons might actually prove useful.

Thoughts?

I am extremely impressed that you managed to get a brigade in 1500 points.

Personally I have no love for putting dragons on foot. I feel like they struggle to fulfill their purpose without a transport (unless your opponent brings the vehicles to you). I would be tempted to say drop them for something cheaper and buy back a reaper launcher or two.

hmm, lots of small units so your enemy wastes shot with over kill and you get to Soul Burst when the DE units die.

Going Old school on the DR exarch is a nice nod :)

I've not played Ynnari yet, so I may be wrong about this but...

I get that MSU means more soulbursts trigger, but doesn't it also mean each soulbusrt is less useful, as you haven't got any big units to benefit from them?

Also second the point about foot dragons --they've never worked out for me and especially with no battle focus.

I'd be tempted to drop the dragons, and use the points to beef up the harlies and a reaper squad.

I'm AFB right now, so not sure if you can do that and still keep it as a brigade?
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.

I was tinkering a bit with replacing the dragons with wraithguard, problem is all multidamage shots will be poured into that unit, this due to not having any vehicles or other multiwound units, except for the characters which follows another targeting system.

I was also tinkering with downgrading the farseer to a warlock, and that would get me halfway to a transport vehicle, problem is that transport vehicle would be the only vehicle and suffer the same fate as the wraithguards.

And the brigade requires 3 elite choices, but I will look into what I can replace the dragons with. :)

Solitare and death jesters work very well in ynarri lists, can soul burst easily and not get targeted easily due to being characters
So, what your saying is it's not your fault you look stupid by using words you don't get?
Flawless logic.

Yes, I was just considering the solitaire for a clean swap, it can do plenty of multiwound damage, but only in CC, and I think my list has a lot of CC already.

I also considered doing a full 180 and go mechanized:

It's a bit spammy for my taste but should prove powerful on the tournament scene.

The second list gets both thumbs up from me :) A really good one for 1.5k.
I fight against Chaos and for Order, because it means fighting for Life against Death. There is no other battle truly worth fighting.
