Btw sorry for all the unnecessary stats. It just.....pasted that way.

[jimmyp]

looks good to me loads of devourers which is always awesome!! do you have the malanthrope models?? they look really tall online, do you think they are auto include??
the problem i have with my lists when i play is my opponent always has strong anti air stuff.

[ariel]

Thanks Dude...I used to not have flyants once...my AA used to be dakkafexen. So Yeah that's how versatile they are. Deal with flyers with flyers... Dakkafexen can deal with one or two but probably not flyers spam.

And malanthropes are auto if you plan on using a Zoe's and venom...just makes sense....unless you don't have a malanthrope or just have some tactic with zoes and venom.

[jimmyp]

yeah i think vector strike the other flyers is best thing. I was going to buy a malanthrope but plan on using this monkeychuka.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/malanthrope-conversion.html instead as a project. reckon your list will do really well mate

[ariel]

Yeah that's the conversion I made. Works and looks well. Thanks again!

[jimmyp]

really ah cool!!! nice!!

[coredump]

Opening list is solid; assuming they are cool with self-ally. (Its against the BRB, but many tourneys are okay with it.)

When running flyrants and Crones, enemy anti-air should be a primary target when possible

[ariel]

what core said. . .every army has their own priority targets you must go after, but anti air is always higher than that if you run flyrants and crones. if i want something dead i shoot it till there is nothing left even if i over kill it. . .for example. . .i killed a squad of pathfinders. . . leaving one alive becuase hey, what can one pathfinder do? you know what he can do? roll a 6 every time and marking up a flyrant every turn. . . lucky SOB. . . helped kill 2 of my flyers that way lol. . .so yeah focus fire all the way.
