Autarch with the reaper launcher will hang back with the dark reapers to shoot at things.

Everything else loads up in serpents, moves up to 18" away, and shoots the crap out of whatever they can. Very much point and shoot

I really like the focus on Dire Avengers and Aspect Warriors, which really synergize well with Asurmen!

What about a third Shuriken Cannon on the Wave Serpents instead of the twin linked Shuriken Catapult?

[faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run)]

Adding the Cannons (thought I had) - dropped a Reaper, and gave the Reaper Autarch a sword. Also added two more Avengers

I was kind of expecting Karandras with that title, however this list is nice too.

If you are facing alpha strikes or simply going second you should consider loading up the reapers in the serpents especially if you go second.
However with Asurmen on the ground, the reapers might be safe enough, especially when there is no room for Asurmen in the serpents, right?

I still thing the list may have trouble with IG/AM and hordes, because shuriken are a bit overkill against those, and reaper launchers are definitely overkill.

[faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run)]

One of the Autuarch will stay with the reapers (the one with the launcher). If going second the serpents would probably position to block shots at the reapoers, as switching about would lose a full turn of movement otherwise.

Should be 11 Avengers in each serpent. Autuach in one, PL in the other. Fly up, use the serpents to limit visibily for return fire a la Fish of Fury style, and then shoot at target with all squad deployed between the serpents.

Should be getting buff from both Autarch and PL
