Hello all.
My LGS started a league on Thursday, and I'm happy to say that I scored max points on the mission in game 1, getting all 9 possible in the resupply drop mission, as well as 5 bonus points available in-house. Only 1 other person scored the same, so I will be matching with him next week. We are allowed to change up to half our points each battle, and I am weighing my options. My opponent runs an Iyanden wraith army, and will likely have a couple large squads of wraithguard supported by wraithlords, spiritseers, and most likely a wraithknight.
My current list is as follows:
Batallion 1 (Alaitoc)
Farseer
Spiritseer
Rangers x5
Rangers x5
Dire Avengers x4 + Exarch with 2 guns
5 wraithguard with wraithcannons
9 dark reapers + exarch with tempest launcher
Batallion 2 (Alaitoc)
Spiritseer
Spiritseer
Dire Avengers x7 +exarch with 2 guns
Dire Avengers x7 +exarch with 2 guns
Dire Avengers x7 +exarch with 2 guns
Fire Prism with spirit stones
Fire Prism with spirit stones
The upcoming mission is ascension, and I am debating my options. I can drop a large chunk of my troops (costing a batallion and 3CP), as well as the reaper exarch, 2 spiritseers, and both fire prisms, and trade out for a cobra, which I believe should more than easily handle the wraithknight and then pop any wraithlords left over, while I concentrate on killing the wraithguard with dark reapers.
Would this be wise (the goal being to table him rather than play to the mission) or should I stick with a larger footprint and just do my best to take down the wraithknight with the fire prisms and reapers before it does too much damage while concentrating on scoring points?
Thanks.
