Hey there folks... I've managed to get a couple games in using the Round 2 scenarios and I think I have the list I want to run. However, I'm always open to suggestions.So a few caveats:
1. I don't have the interest to rush my Jetlocks to a level I'd consider WYSIWYG.
2. I can only find 5 of my Wave Serpents. (But 3 Prisms and 4 Falcons... go figure...) I have and can field just about anything else in the codex.
3. I know the list is low on Troops. The bikes go in Reserves and only come out to take down small units and/or grab objectives. (I'll miss the foil of my Wraithguard, but I don't think people in this round are going to be baited into wasting their shots against them as much. Plus, I need the Fortune support for the Seer Councils.)
4. Most everything will be looking to jump down my opponent's throat. 2 years ago I got cheated in a round and ended up with 6th. Last year I qualified but wasn't able to attend Regionals due to SCA commitments. So I'm setting my goal high: placing or doing well just isn't enough, I want 1st Overall. So the point of this list isn't just to win, it's to take some risks to win big. I think that's the only way to have a viable shot at sweeping the tournament.

One debate is swapping a squad of Spiders and a GJB for a DAVU Falcon w Holofields, Stones, and Shuri-Cannon turret and chin. However, I think the firepower of the Spiders will probably be worth more than the durability of the HoloFalcon.
Cheers and thanks for any feedback! (And yes, there will be battle reports, win or lose...)
I posted my comments on the list over on Warseer, but I just noticed something about it. The Banshee squad is low on points. 260 is only enough for 10 banshees and the serpent. The exarch upgrade and her skills/weapon are not counted in.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, thanks for that catch. I'd forgotten I had to drop them down to 8 to get the Exarch and upgrades. My bad.
