Hey guys,
I made a 2k Kronos list for myself because I wanted to see what a more psyker list would play like. Its new and different from my normal play style. Then I offered to make a 2k list for my Eldar buddy and he agreed. I made his list out of most things he doesn't typically use, to give him a wider experience of the army units. Also, he would try to take at least 2 hemlocks and/or wraithknights and Im tired of that.
Both lists are straight forward, no special synergy, and I didnt tailor mine to specifically beat his. But when I compared mine to his, I realized how vastly different they were.
PARAPHRASING NID LIST GO!!!
Battalion: 3 Neuros, 3 units of 4 Zoans, Maleceptor (gonna try it), 3 units of 17ish gaunts (screens), 2 Excocrines.
Supreme command: 2 Flyrants with melee relics, Malanthrope (babysit Exos)
Silly, stupid, something I dont normally do.
PARAPHRASING ELDAR LIST GOOOOOOO!!!
Battalion: Avatar, Eldrad, Farseer, 2 units of 10 Dire Avengers, 15 Guardians, 2 Fire Prisms
Vanguard: Spirit Seer, 5 Wraithguard, 5 Wraithblades, 2 units of 5 Skriking Scorpions, Wraithlord
I did kinda, a little, tailor the Eldar list to combat the Nid list. Normally he would only bring Eldrad as his lone psyker but I thought the more the better vs all mine. Plus the extra Farseer gives him more powers from the Fate discipline and the Spirit Seer buffs the Wraiths a bit. I also thought if he played his Scorpions right, he'd infiltrate them to try to get the Exos. But even with that, the psychic phase for Nids is gonna be mean. Psychic Scream, Psychic Overload, and all those Smites is a lot of MW. I was thinking maybe changing the Eldar list to have more equivalents to mine, like the 2 Fire Prisms to match the 2 Exocrines. But 2 5-man Scorpion Squads doesnt equal 2 melee Flyrants and Eldrad + Farseer doesnt equal 3 Neuros + 3 units of Zoans.
Any suggestions to kinda even things out? Or are things fine because once we get close both sides will die. Sure I have tons of smites, but he has the Avatar, Wraithlord, Wraithguard and blades, all of which can hit hard too.
Aaaand go!
