As the title says, I am taking my Eldar to a 1500 point 40k GT in San Diego. It's run by Dave Faye and has some of the best players in CA going so it should be a great challenge. For me, the biggest challenge might be on what army list to bring...
So given the points limit and missions (which can be found here), there are three ways I can go:
1.) footdar/wraithzilla; 2.) Mech with a seer council; 3.) full on Mech with autarch for reserves denial.
In light of the missions (all three mission objective types will be in effect each worth 4 points if achieved and 2 points if tied on-only deployment zones will differ) I settled on the following three list and reach out to you guys for some feedback and thoughts:
1.) Wraithzilla style: 1498HQ: 365Eldrad: 210Avatar: 155Troops: 668Wraithguard: 10, spirit seer, enhance=396Guardians: 11, scatter laser=103Guardians: 11, scatter laser=103Guardian jetbikes: 3=66Heavy Support: 465Wraithlord: eml/bl=155Wraithlord: eml/bl=155Wraithlord: eml/bl=155

Wraithzilla would be my choice.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Wraithzilla!!!
ReplyDeleteSwapping enchance for conceal on the WG isnt better?
Conceal used to be great when cover was 5+ at best and scarce. Now, you can get a 4+ cover save easily from terrain and other units so having +1 WS/I in combat helps their survivability a lot more from that inevitable charge. =)
DeleteHave to say Wraithzilla, but love all the lists proposed.
ReplyDeleteQuick Question. Would you ever consider the Night Spinner over the Falcon? I'm guessing the Falcon gives you better survivability for late turn objective grabbing, but curious your thoughts on the matter.
