Still playing with my list, I have changed this very slightly to face 2000 points of death company

The theory is keep everything in transport and pop the tanks, dreadnoughts and terminators. When the death company start deep striking the wraiths will come out and decimate all.

I'm hoping 2 farseers will buff the army, also i know there will be at least 2 flyers, so guiding my Hornets should guarantee a few 6's when shooting their pulse rifles at them, x8 Str8 AP2 re-rolling with guide is as good as any quad gun

Just to let others know, this list has tabled the last 3 challengers with ease

Hornets are pretty OP, so no surprise there.

So are 2 land raiders full of death company and a storm raven with a furioso

Id forget the banshees and the falcon IMO. Especially against blood angles. 6 banshee would get torn apart. Also the falcon in one of the weaker heavies. Id use the points from the banshees to fill out the numbers in your warp spider squad. Id then probley get another fire prism instead of the falcon. You can never have to many fire prisms

Haha I already had the battle, the banshees and falcon were one of the last units standing and were the unit who tabled him

Fair enough just 6 banshees will in most games do very little and the falcons damage outcome isn't great.

I agree 100%, my opponent just wasn't very tactically minded... He was a marine player

You're just lucky that he wasn't a Marine from across the pond! You'd have been tabled if he was.

Across the pond, no doubt they will all turn up in reserve turn 4 and claim all the glory
