@Ben, firstly, thanks for the input, you’re right, it was my target priority/play which has been wrong, but I also felt the lack of reliable fire power, I found that most of my shots where jink saved or just failing to hit/wound… I think that 3 tanks that have a single shot weapons was a bit much, hence the move towards Dragons in Serpents, against Rob, the Dragons did okay… took out a Riptide, but one squad got stunned at the worst possible moment… so couldn’t fire for a turn, then my army fell apart as I was WAAAAAY to aggressive while looking for board control, again such poor play by myself, as Rob played pretty much the perfect game!
@everyone else, thanks for the input, ignore weapons will ruin a mantle Seer/Tarch, I think he’s just to vulnerable at a 5 game tournament where Tau/Eldar will be dominant.
That means I’m looking at a Spiritseer and Wraithguard, for a more durable scoring unit.
So the list I’ve been working on (between actual work!)
Spiritseer – 70
5 Wraithguard in Wave Serpent – Scatter laser, Holofields, Vectored Engines – 310
5 Dire Avengers in Wave Serpent – scatter laser, holofields – 200
5 Dire Avengers in Wave Serpent – scatter laser, holofields – 200
5 Dire Avengers in Wave Serpent – scatter laser, holofields – 200
3 Jetbikes – 51
3 Jetbikes – 51
5 Fire Dragons in Wave Serpent – Scatter Laser, Holofields – 245
Fire Prism – Holofields – 140
1467
I think the last 30pts will go on Shuriken Cannons on the Avenger serpents… gives me more fire power…
Or I could “upgrade” the Spiritseer to a Farseer for the same pts, but this makes the Wraithguard overcosted IMO (overpriced for a non scoring unit), so I would then drop them for Dragons, saving 50pts, which gives me the pts for a another Jetbike squad… another tempting option.
