I like the idea of swooping hawks, I just haven't used effectively enough to justify them =( Now if I was playing guard blob? OH HELL YEAH! Drop those grenades on some heavy weapons and unload some shots into them, or drop bombs on a squad, land by artillery and charge in next turn! Unfortunately I don't know any IG players >_>

Now that is what I am talking about, no heavy support... totally overrated anyway, fast attack is where the  cool kids play. Vypers, swooping hawks and warp spiders bring a lot to the table the problem is the FoC limitations.

Swooping Hawks, and Warp spiders work so well together though. Has to be said.

I'd totally play an all Warp Spider army! That'd be fun (even if you'd end up killing off some of your guys before the enemy gets to shoot you  :P)

1250 Points
Autarch w/ Warp Jump Generator, Mandiblasters, Power Weapon and Fusion Gun 125

3 Guardian Jet Bikes w/ 1 Shuriken Cannon 76

10 Warp Spiders + Exarch w/ x2 Death Spinners, Power Blades and Withdraw 262

10 Warp Spiders + Exarch w/ Spinneret Rifle 242


If you are playing against Tyranids or DE you might even win too! Autarchs go with the two squads with Power Blades obviously and other squad just does its shootiness while Jetbikes hide/objective grab

I would have regular guardians in that list, with EMLs. and probably only 1 Autarch and Spinneret rifles on the exarchs. Otherwise a few cheap Wave Serpents with EMLs also. And he presto a weird list that will be fun to use you have a list that will happily have fun on the table top.

Autarch, WJG, FGun, PS

2 Units of 10 guardians with EMLs mounted in EML+Shuriken Cannon Wave Serpents
A Unit of 11 guardians with EMLs mounted in EML+Shuriken Cannon Wave Serpent

2 Units of 9 Warp Spiders + Exarch with spinneret, power blades and hit and run.

A unit of 7 Swooping hawks

good fun for a 1500, just how I would do it.
