None of this has been played.  It could totally fall apart upon encounter reality.  Figure with 2+ cover save and rerolls you should get those Harlequins into H2H.  Of course neither of these lists have been set up to deal with armour.  So it will take some massaging.  Also blast/template weapons will have TONS of fun with this list.  I believe if you set up deployment and movement correctly that shouldn't be a problem for this army.

Tear these lists apart.  Make them better.  Provide your own suggestions.  Or just laugh at the screen and take another sip of your beer.  I'm doing the latter right now.

  1. Yeah, probably the AV 13-14 will be hard on that list along with what you said flamer/template weapons.

    Another thing which is probably going to be more popular in 6th is the ignores cover special rule. Just think of large blasts that ignore cover, not going to be good for units relying on cover, like all those people and their aegis defense lines.

    1. Yeah, exactly as mentioned above regarding blast templates stripping cover saves.

      That is why you don't rely just on Shadowseer's Veil of Tears. You use a Phoenix Lord and get to reroll that 2+ armour save.
