DE: My current 1750

That Hansel.  He's so hot right now.

I've been having great success with this list over the last couple of months.  A lot of games over Vassal, a good deal of games at the stores, and some vs. friends at the Blizzard campus.  The list I'm about to show you guys is something pretty unique to me.  I'm a super lance heavy player as most of you guys know, and I show it off in my lists a good amount of time.  In the last 2 years, I've built one Venom.  Yes, I bought 3 boxes with DE came out, but I ended up building only one because of my playstyle [Kabal only, no weird ass Haemonculi shit].

If you guys remember my first list with 6th Ed., you'll notice that not much have changed.  By taking advantage of the benefits of 6th Ed. rules and hugging cover like a beast, I'm able to disassemble most of my opponents piece by piece.  There's just something incredibly satisfying about that.

Here's the list:

1746

18 KP

HQ:

Succubus (Agonizer/BP, Haywire) = 105

TROOP:

5x Warriors (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130

5x Warriors (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130

10x Warriors (Raider NS/SR, Blaster, SC) = 195

10x Warriors (Raider NS/SR, Blaster, SC) = 195

9x Wyches (Raider NS/AS, Hekatrix/VB/BP, Haywires) = 215

10x Wyches (Raider NS/AS, Hekatrix/VB/BP, Haywires) = 225

ELITE:

3x Trueborn (Venom NS/SC, 3x Blaster) = 156

HEAVY:

Ravager (NS) = 115

Ravager (NS) = 115

Razorwing (NS/FF) = 165

+++++

The most noticeable changes here are:

• Dropped the extra HQ, no need.  Just need one cheap one who can sweep and provide a Strategic Warlord trait.
• Dropped the Voidraven for a Razorwing just because of points effectiveness.  This one was a hard one because I've had good games with the VR, but also games where it was NOT worth the points at all.  That's why I settled with the Razorwing.  It's significantly cheaper and if I don't make all the points back from it, I'm not at a huge loss.
• Added 3x Trueborn in a Venom for more Lances and some long-range Poison fire.
• Oh, and added Aethersails on the Wych Raiders because there's been times I needed to rush/pressure some tanks, and giving myself +2D6" of extra movement is worth the 5 points spent.

I would say that this list excels at killing MEQ - which sadly, is about 70% of the meta.  It does well vs. elite armies, but struggle vs. loads of mediocre things like footguard.  Green tide and mass Tyranids can be a problem at first glance, but careful play with your poison gunboats and proper spacing using terrain as difficult terrain blockers wins you games.

Opening volley allows for 12 Lance shots.  Second round of mid-ranged shooting with Blasters on full allows for 21 Lances if the Razorwing hits the field.  Pretty deadly if I don't say myself!

If any of you haven't read the previous articles I linked above, I highly suggest them.  You'll find a lot of good stuff there that you can take to your games and start enslaving your friends.
