well I went to erie thinking my list was strong, man was I wrong. The elder are tough in this format! so much d-swinging! So like any other hive mind I must adapt. The neurothrope was rendered useless in most of my games, and to tell you the truth one of my best weapons(the psychic phase) is rendered null and void by higher level psykers and high ld's. so I cannot really plan on it vs the toughest lists in the format, IMO eldar and space marines. So I determined that I am weak vs toughness 8. and elder can run 3 models with it. Im going to try to counter it with ap 2+3 poison instant death attacks. Not sure if any of it will work.

I agree, shrikes will be pretty good in highlander. I would consider 6 models tho. Anyone who deems them a true threat will stop 3 pretty quickly.

Someone at Erie asked about Flier Ace and was told that it wouldn't be allowed for Da Boyz, I would ask about that.
Also, poison only wounds Garg's on a 6+.

That's only one t8 creature. It still works on wraithlord and wraithseer. I like malanthropes though. They are fun.

Don't forget the wraith- seer garner. And yeah I know about the 6+ poison, but its all I got. The flyer ace upgrade is in leviathan for all normal games of 40k in all factions, for a price. Death from the skies version is free for all factions. Not sure if they realize it.

I said wraithseer. What I meant by that statement was that the poison only doesn't work on the wraithknight, one of the 3 t8 creatures...

Hopefully your flyrant gets psychic scream and knocks some wounds off that wraitknight. I'm surprised you aren't going all in on WC, since most armies wouldn't be able to keep up with you.

There are a few issues with scream, one being against a wraithknight 90% of the time eldar can have more dice than you(warloc in every squad) also fortune can give you a reroll deny and lastly knighgs still have FnP which all together make for a very meh feel. Me and craig play tested yesterday and i think his bone sword are the way to go for killing a knight. 15 attcks on the charge 6s to wound cause insta death, sacrfice a 120pts units for a 300 pts one

At least its something. LD 8 test + only FnP as a defense. I'd take that over what I have as an option ( IE: melta guns  ) |

You could have a knight, i would look into a way of stopping one though. I can garentee that 50% of people will take one. Any takers of my bet? Id say winner(s) gets a shot on me loser(s) buys me one.
Craig although our game last night didnt go well for you i think if you put the tentacle guy in the dp it would make it that much deadlier

I thought they were ld 10. After my last test game with Niel I'm confident I can take on the superheavies, maybe not the stomps but we shall see. I'm considering dropping the termagants down to 10, adding rippers and hormagaunts.

They are LD10, but he subtracted the +2 from scream so show it is a LD8 test.
