1500 Footdar list (Partninja) - Competition 1
« on: May 28, 2015, 02:46:44 PM »
So It took me quite a while to come with a list that was balanced, not spammy, and was generic enough to not better fit another theme (like a more craftworld oriented list, or over shooty/assaulty). I wanted a good mixture of foot units, that can work in a take all comers list. Not exactly "competitive", but should win against other like-minded lists. Most of all, it had to also be fun!

Avatar (195)
Farseer (100)
11x Guardian Defenders - Bright Lance (119)
10x Guardian Defenders - Bright Lance (110)
3x War Walkers - Scatter Lasers (180)
Wraithlord - 2x Bright Lances, 2x Flamer (160)
Wraithlord - Ghostglaive, 2x Scatter Laser, 2x Flamer (155)

Aspect Host (+1WS)
6x Swooping Hawks - Exarch, Sunrifle (121)
10x Howling Banshees - Exarch, Executioner (150)
10x Striking Scorpions - Exarch, Scorpion's Claw (210)

This list will run mostly as a Phalanx. Hammer and Anvil could work also. The Farseer will join the 11-man Guardian unit and support with powers based on the opponent. Likely looking for fortune, guide, prescience.

The Avatar and Wraithlords present the enemy with a big scary target to worry about taking pressure of the little guys. Most units can make good use of the Avatars boost bubble.

I have 4x anti-AV13/14 shots for those single LRs/Monoliths/Wagons etc. The MC melee attacks, and Hawk haywire can also help here. Plenty of anti-horde/infantry fire power with the scatter laser shots, that also double as light anti-armor and anti-flyer (with guide). Hawks also help against flyers as well. Two dedicated assault units will help as the enemy/I draw near towards the midfield.

Looks quite similar to the list I discarded due to less competitive. Have you considered taking Jain Zar and Karandras instead of the wraithlords?

I would also have to drop the Farseer to make the list legal. Taking two CC HQs would make me lose some needed ranged firepower.
