For some reason I always have at least 10 lists lying around that I want to try out. And I like to think up new strategies (even though they usually work out very differently on the tabletop). So I chose to put several of those here. These are not so much lists I need comments and improvements on (although they are always welcome), but are more like fun (and possibly power full) lists that might inspire you guys for different or more unusual lists and games.
First off are the "assaultcron list(s)" Where I try to put the least amount of ranged weapons I can, and where I try to win games using their biggest weakness. (these lists probably won't be that competitive, but would be fun vs similar specialized or strange lists from other armies). btw. picking personal warlord traits is almost a must here obviously .
1750 p. 'lets see if flayed ones can do something...' list
OL wars, orb, mss, labyrinth
lord wars + 5 lychguard disp. shields in scythe
DL 2+, orb, mss
depending on the army your facing, you can attached him to:
20 flayed ones
6 wraiths 4 coils
5 warriors
5 immortals tesla
5 immortals tesla
(guass is better of course, but in an assault army theme you 'have' to pick the assault gun )
8 scarabs
3 spyders
1749 p. 'royal-court-deathstar list'
OL wars, mss, labyrinth, ccb
DL 2+, mss
6 wraiths 4 coils 4 casters
5 lords wars, 2+, mss, 1orb
+ 3 HoEt 1 chrono (these will be the sacrificial guys for the LoS rolls) in Ghost Ark
(they have to embark in the first turn since its not a dedicated transport). The chrono can be useful in challenges. you can even attach the DL to this unit ones it disembarks and gets ready to assault. with good positioning of the DL you can reduce the assault distance a few inches this way .
18 warriors (used in 2 or 3 squads)
7 scarabs (1 or 2 units)
3 spyders
1750 p. 'staffoflight-deathsquad list'
Nemesor Zahndrek ccb
Varguard Obyron
5 lords 1 orb, 4 crypteks, 1 HoD gaze, pulse (MEq's will HATE you)
DL 2+
6 wraiths 3 coils 2 casters
5 warriors
5 warriors (the mandatory troops, which is why this list isn't competitive when not using kill points)
1 Triarch Stalker
3 Heavy Destroyers
7 Scarabs (to mainly more AT+tying up annoying units)
Those were my most unique lists I have laying around so far . I am REALLY curious how the staff of light squad will do. With the stalker and HD's you will popp a tank where most MEq's will be hiding in, and you teleport with pinpoint accuracy 12" away from them with Nemesor and Obyron to give them a really bad day.
You can then use night fighting to at least get some nice cover saves for the return fire.
Let me know what you think of these themed lists
