I've done a lot of research and put a lot of questions to my friends and to the forums. After seeing the comments on my first thread here, my aim is to build a truly balanced list. I fear that the weakness this list has is a lack of ability to take on TEQ, as I only have the Doom Scythe and Doomsday Ark (and possibly the Wraiths) that can fulfill that role.
I've considered replacing either the Doomsday Ark or Doom Scythe with Deathmarks and two Crypteks (Harbingers of Despair) to take care of any Terminators -- but I'm not entirely sold on that option (yet?).
Without further ado, here's the most balanced list that I could come up with. Comments and criticism is welcome, as always
