1.5k Tourney Need Help
« on: July 1, 2011, 11:58:51 AM »
Hi Guys,

Newbie in the forum

Have a 1500pt tournament coming...
The condition is no proxy model allowed

Need comments on my roster (I'm not too comfy with my Army List due to limited models I have)

My list would be

Farseer                    (145)
Runes of Warding
Spirit Stones
Doom
Fortune

DA                             (177)
9 DA
1 DA Exarch
PW + Simmershield
Defend
Bladestorm

Wave Serpent          (110)
TL Shu Cannon
Spirit Stone
(DA inside)

Jetbike                     (210)
6 Jetbike
2 Shu Cannon
1 Warlock Jetbike
Singing Spear
Destructor

Fire Dragon             (145)
7 Fire dragon
1 Exarch w/: Big Flamer
Crackshot

Wave Serpent          (110)
TL Shu Cannon
Spirit Stone
(FD inside)

Howling  Banshee     (187)
9 HB
1 Exarch
Executioner
Acrobatic

Wave Serpent          (110)
TL Shu Cannon
Spirit Stone
(HB inside)

Wraithlord                (155)
EML
BL

Wraithlord                (140)
Star Cannon
Scatter Laser

Total :  1499 pt

I'm not really confident with the Jetbike Squadron, and 8 men Fire Dragon (prefer 2x5 FD on Wave though). But as I said earlier, I'm limited with the models.
Anyway, remaining models I have:
6 Rangers
6 Scorpion
10 Guardian w:/ Weapon Platform
2 Vypers
5 Dark Reapers
2 Bikes
3 Walkers
1 Eldrad
1 Yriel
1 Autarch

Any idea how can I optimize the roster? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks


P.S: Sorry about my English (not my first language)

the first problem that jumps off the page at me is that it will be difficult to keep your wraithlords from testing for wraithsight, the jetbike warlock is probably your only way of doing this (i assume your farseer is riding with the banshees and anyway i don't know if you can measure to a skimmers hull in respect to this) and in doing so you are probably restricting the jetbikes because their maximum range is only 24 and they need to be within 12 to do their horde killing thing

the jetbike squad itself is not bad, but personally i would take embolden over destructor on the warlock as two casualties can make them fall back extremely quickly and you need them as they are one of your two scoring units for objective missions

if i was to rearrange your list, using only the models you have i would probably build something like this;

Quote
Farseer, Runes of Warding, Doom /// 95

10 Howling Banshees, Exarch, Executioner, Acrobatic /// 187
~ Wave Serpent, Spirit Stones, TL Shuriken Cannons /// 110
8 Fire Dragons, Exarch, Dragons Breath Flamer, Crackshot /// 145
~ Wave Serpent, Spirit Stones, TL Shuriken Cannons /// 110
6 Striking Scorpions, Exarch, Scorpions Claw /// 113

10 Dire Avengers, Exarch, Shimmershield and Power Weapon, Defend, Bladestorm /// 177
~ Wave Serpent, Spirit Stones, TL Shuriken Cannons /// 110
10 Guardian Defenders, Scatterlaser, Warlock, Embolden, Spiritseer /// 137

Wraithlord, 2 Flamers BrightLance, Eldar Missile Launcher /// 155
Wraithlord, 2 Flamers BrightLance, Eldar Missile Launcher /// 155
2 Warwalkers, 4 ScatterLasers /// 120
/// 1496

it takes the core of your list (3 serpents, 2 Wraithlords) and turns it into more of a hammer and anvil army (hammer and anvil basically means that you split your force in two, one to hold position and resist attacks and the other a rapid moving strikeforce that can strategically attack where they will be most effective)

your hammer takes the form of the three waveserpent mounted units, and your anvil is the wraithlords, guardians, warwalkers and the scorpions, i don't really like scorpions in a squad less than 8 strong but you said that you are unable to proxy anything and don't have sufficent models, maybe you could try getting away with proxying your autarch and yriel as 2 extra scorps, you'd need to exchange or downgrade the warwalkers for something else to get the points though.

lastly, your english is very good, i had no trouble understanding you at all, i know people with english as a first language that can't write a coherent post!
hope some of that helps a little bit

Thanks for the help, I was thinking to use the Hammer Anvil Tactic as well. The tourney is in the next few weeks, so maybe I'll invest something to upgrade my Army. And I forgot to mention that I have a Falcon. And actually I consider to buy the Striking Scorpion. But I can't decide which one is better between the Scorpion or the Banshees for the tournament. any suggestion?

Thanks   ;D
