Hi all,
I've a game coming up vs IG and have a couple of lists in mind. I'm not a very experienced 40k player but am learning fast.
I expect my opponent to use an aegis line with lots of tanks. I don't believe that he has any flyers.
Option 1 Mech
HQ
Farseer with spear on a bike
Elites
5 Fire Dragons. Wave Serpent with Scatter Lasers, Shuri Cannon, Spirit Stones, Holo Fields and Star Engines
Fast Attack
6 x warpspiders, exarch with fast shot and spinneret rifle
Troops
6 Dire Avengers, Exarch with power weapon and shimmershield. Wave serpent with Scatter Lasers, Shuricannon, holo-fields
10 x guardians, brightlance platform
5 x rangers
3 guardian jetbikes
Heavy Support
2 x Fire Prism Holofields, Shuri Cannon, Spirit Stones
1 x Nightspinner Holofield, Stones and star engines.
Basic Premise is that my fire prisms lance his tanks early then the dragons engage whilst the spiders pop in and out taking targets of opportunity. Guardians and rangers sit fairly deep whilst the da jump out end game (ish) and the jetbikes hide until needed.
Option 2 Foot / wraith
HQ
Avatar with Crushing Blow and Fast Shot
Spiritseer
Elites
10 Wraithguard - wraithcannon
Fast Attack
6 Warpspiders Exarch with fastshot, marksman's eye, powerblades, spinneret rifle
Troop
10 Dire Avengers Exarch with power weapon and shimmer shield
3 x guardian jetbikes.
Heavy Support
3 x wraithlords, brightlance, scatter lasers, ghostglaive and double flamers
Basic premise is that the avatar, wraith guard and wraith lords march together up a flank towards his aegis line. spiders annoy and dire avengers sit towards the back initially.
I don't own any more jetbikes so can't spam anymore of them sadly.
I'm leaning towards the mech build as I think I can survive his shooting with range and cover saves whilst my lances will hopefully turn his tanks into scrap. But the marching wall of death seems like fun. He can't stop them all reaching his lines
Any comments would be gratefully received.
