LatD is also Infantry heavy, while the BL can muster a lot of Vehicles and the dreaded Chosen - CC Experts Both will presumably be Infantry heavy. Does he know that you will be playing Tau? If yes - then the Orks will try to close fast. I wouldn?t take Stealth as upgrades, I prefer them rampaging alone. As well I would max-out the AMHC with MBT?s ,not Stingrays. Maybe , something comes to mind later.... Cheers! Steele _________________ Quid pro Quo

You might want to consider moving the skyray upgrade on the stingrays to the FWs, as it is sometimes better not to have AA upgrades on "artillery" formations (makes it twice as juicy a target).  I found the skyray useful in FW cadres as it adds an extra 2 GM shots.

Heckler, Orks or chaos are going to have massive model count on you. There's also going to be a horde of infantry to deal with. AMHC +Network Drones +Skyray +Stingray 500 AMHC +Network Drones +Skyray +Stingray 500 AMHC - can't have Stingray upgrade. Also, 375 = AMHC 25 = Ntwk Drones 75 = Skyray ============= 475 Subtotal AMHC - did you mean Swordfish? Battlesuit Cadre + Crisis Upgrade +Stealth Upgrade + (Shas'character)

This is a big game. You don't have a lot of models relatively speaking. I'm not sure about these two formations. I don't think they will stand up.

600 points / 9 models = 67 points a model. Do you feel like you are getting a leman russ of use out of these models in a 5K game?

I'd recomend at least one of them becoming a large FW formation with DF for 300 and 250 points in upgrades to bolster.

I think you are going to wish you had some piranha + tetra formations for speed and activation help.

Pathfinders w/ Devilfish
175


I'll be very suprised if this formation delivers any meaningful results in this game. With on DF down, these are going to be demon bate or ork distance aid - via charge. Maybe you hope to snipe a character ?


Manta 850 ?


I realize the novelty and draw of the piece, but frankly, I think its overpriced for output when we have a list that has lot of formations that are on the higher end of points cost for value.

It will be interesting to see if you will have regretted this decision and preferred 2x morays plus 250 point HH contingent to use instead.

You wouldn't be over in aircraft points that way either.

Just my thoughts,

Cheers,
