Broodlord Skyshield of Doom - 1500pts.

[l0rdf1end]

Double Flyrant with double brainleech.

4x5 Genestealer/Broodlord+ST
2x6 Genestealer/Broodlord

Harpy

Skyshield Landing pad.


New army im going to test.
Place skyshield as far up as possible in my board half.
Infiltrate all stealer units on top of it for a 4+ invuln or go to ground for a 3+ cover save.

Place what objectives I get to place around the pad so I can just jump off to capture turn 5.

BL's use 24inch range powers like Objuration Mechanicum against mech/flyers
Otherwise go for Terrify and Dominate to keep them rolling Morale checks.

Theres also a command trait for warlord, rolling a 2 makes units within 12 inches of warlord use the units lowest leadership - this last part is a long shot but nice to have as will synergise with Telepaphy Dicipline.

Flyrants and Harpy initial targets would be anything that threatens your air dominance, second priority would be anything that threatens your BL's on the skyshield like manticores.

I just get funny mental imagery of genestealers playing around up there saying "What's the secret password? You can't come in our tree-house fort !" How hard is it for enemy models to get up there too?

OTOH, it gives him plenty of time to focus fire on the 3 FMCs while the stealers do nothing and pose no threat. You also have all but given up on any objectives on his side of the board, allowing him to contest all of yours.

I agree with Core. The list is workable, but I think that strategy is unsound unless your facing a CC based army. Your giving up too much threat downrange. The enemy only has to contest those objectives close to your Platform and hold 1 of theirs.

Sounds very gimmicky and, as gimmicks go, prone to failure. Gimmicks are fun but nothing worth building a list around unless it's just a goofy fun list.

You guys are right as normal, the more i think about it the more i think its stupid

Go with 3 broods of 3 biovores on the shyshield. That might be funny
