Hi all! Mithrarias is back.
Time ago, in the ages of 5th and 6th edition, I used to be a regular player. Also in that time I joined this community and used to post quite often. Then, some turns in my life made me almost leave my beloved hobby, due to a lack of time, although 7th edition meta did not help at all. A few time ago things began to change a bit and although I still don't have as much time as I would like to hace, the arrival of 8th edition has made me want to recover my hobby.
So some of us have decided to follow a friendly scalation league which will begin next month. So March will be at 500 points, April at 1000 points and so on until June at 2000 points.
Right now I'm trying to make up my lists which I would like to share with you, although for now I have only been able to write the 1500 points one.

Some things to take into acount. My Craftworld has always been Saim-Hann, I have always liked their play style and I have always loved Bikes and Vypers. I know they are now exactly the most competitive units right now, but it's just a league between some friends so there is no need to have the most competitive list (although we all want to win some matches). When I started making up the list I started with a pure Saim-Han list, then I realized that most of the units would benefit more if they joined a Biel-Tan detachment (after all, a coalition between the Wild Host and Sword in the Wind sounds good to me, and I have always liked Biel-Tan as well).
So, guys, what do you think about it? Which attribute should I take for my warlord? Without loosing the nature of the list, what changes would you make? How would you make the 500 and 1000 points lists? How yould you expand the 2000 pts list?
In order to make some changes and/or expand the list these are the models I have: 2 Farseer Skyrunner, 2 Warlock Skyrunner, 2 Autarch Skyrunner, 1 Autarch on foot, 1 Autarch with Wings, 1 Farseer on foot, 3 Warlock on foot, 1 Bonesinger, 1 Avatar of Khaine, all Fenix Lords, 25 Avengers, 18 Windriders, 10 Scorpions, 6 Banshees, 6 Fire Dragons, 15 Spiders, 5 Shining Spears, 12 Hawks, 5 Wraithguards/Wraithblades, 3 Vypers, 3 Wave Serpents, 2 Falcon/Prism/Night Spinner, 1 War Walker, 2 Wraithlords
Last, but not least, what would you buy nex to improve my lists?
Thanks in advance.
