List Selection for 1500p Tournament - Alaitoc vs. Ynnari
« on: April 4, 2018, 05:52:25 AM »
Hi guys!
I will be playing at a tournament on April 14th. Codex/Errate freeze will be on 7th, so if the FAQ doesn't drop till then, I will be able to play with what I am used to!
If it drops I guess I will have to redo all the lists most likely, but I have to submit my list on 8th, so I wanted to make some lists in case it doesn't come.

I prepared an Alaitoc list and a LVO style ynnari list. Which one would you rather play and do you have input for changes?

Ynnari LVO Style:

Dark Reapers x8            221      
   Exarch Tempest Launcer               
   <Alaitoc>

What I like about the ynnari list, is that it doesnt really offer a good target for anti tank, making it quite useless while still gaving a lot of resilliance vs small arms fire with -hit and good saves in cover. So the obvious target for lasconnons &co would be the spears who have a 4++ (or 3++ with protect). For the Alaitoc list all the anti tank will most likly go into the flyer with -2 to hit, so it creates a lot of distraction for the spears.

I am not sure if I like all the troops I take in the ynnari list, it will give me some nice bubblewrap and deepstrike deny.

So the big difference beween the lists is Yvraine+Farseer+Kabalites vs. Crimson Hunter+1 extra spear+5 more Avengers+1 more tempest launcher+Windriders(I am thinking if swooping hawks would be even better).

Missions will be different for each game, 2 of them will be scored at the end of the game with held objectives, the third has scoring at the end if each turn, aswell with objectives.

From what I see there are about a third space marine players, some other Eldar, Necrons and Tau.

I am looking forward to your opinnions, thank you a lot!

I think you should run the ynnari, but with the new Drukhari codex out I think you should really use kabalites of the black heart to unlock the "agents of vect" stratagem, then have a large unit of wyches of strife.
Those wyches would have extreme potential. improved amount of base attacks, +1 from adrenalight, +1 from spectacle of murder, +1 from "double drugs" stratagem, x2 SfD fight once more, x2 "no method of death..." stratagem.

That's 20 attacks/Wych.

Ah, I see.
I got the old box, which included both 10 Kabalites and 10 (or was it 5?) Wyches.

You could still make the Kabalites <kabal of the black heart> to unlock the "Agents of Vect" stratagem?

Not sure (ruleswise) if you can keep "thirst for power" though, while you loose "power from pain" you might still be able to claim "inured to suffering"?

Haven't got the book yet, but I guess it works like any other craftworld/legion/hivefleet/etc trait: The whole detachment has to come from that to unlock the benefit!
