9+1 ex Striking Scorpions: with plasma/heywire nades, exarch with scorpion claw (217 pts)

2x 12 man guardian defender squads: starcannon, warlock with CCW & S pistol, conceal (179 pts each)

x2 11 man guardian defender squads: bright lance, warlock with CCW & S pistol, conceal (171 pts each)



Wraithlord: with 2 flamers, starcannon (120 pts)

Falcon: brightlance (155 pts)

4+1 ex Dark reapers: exarch with reaper launcher, fast shot (223 pts)

The falcon comes with a pulse laser which is as good as the bright lance so put a scatter laser on it since thats what the model has and its cheeper, I would go for a halo field too if you can find the pt.

I'm just wondering how you can say that a pulse laser is as good as a bright lance, when facing a vehicle with armor of 13 or 14, a bright lance needs to roll 4's for penetrating hits, whereas a pulse laser needs 5s and 6s respectively.  Since many players go SMurfs as the army's creator mentioned, it may be smart to have a weapon that can crack open land raider should he need to.

Dwixerzon, what you is true.  In theory the BL does have a better chance of penetrating high armour vehicles.

However if you look at other factors the pulse laser is a good alternative.  Firstly your Falcon only has BS 3 so hits on a 4+.  Most of time it will be moving 6"+ so you will only get to fire one weapon and as the pulse laser has the potential to fire 3 shots a turn if it stays in one peice long enough potentially it is more effective that a BL.  Plus it gives you a few exta points for say Spirit Stones which should add to the vehicles longevity.

BL are more effective when twin-linked on mounted on a wraithlord with BS 4 imo.
