Ok, so I still need to finish building it all, but how does this look for a Secret Santa list? I figure it has a ton of weaknesses, but even as it loses, it'll hopefully look cool (then again, I likely won't have time to paint it, so looking cool is relative in this case).


Anyway, here is my basic idea for how it works.

Jain Zar is attached to the Banshees and will stab things. Maugan Ra is attached to the Reapers and will generally do anti tank things. Eldrad is there to look handsome? Windriders are fast, so they harass things with hit and run tactics. And the Wraithlord just looks awesome.

The main weakness that I - a person that hasn't played since 8th and barely knows the rules - can see is that I can't control objectives too well. So, I'm thinking of dropping either the Windriders or the Wraithlord (both 160 points), to replace with Guardians and Rangers (110 and 55 points respectively). That would bring me to exactly 2000. I don't actually own any rangers, which is why I haven't already done so. That being said, I don't know if it should be the Windriders or Wraithlord that should be dropped (the Wraithlord looks so cool!).

Still, I figure it won't win games, but it'll do.... Something, I guess.

Also, I had previously said it would be just Eldrad and Jain Zar as named characters in the list, so if adding Maugan Ra is too much, please let me know. The app seems to indicate that it's a legal list. I'll drop Eldrad if I have to, hahaha.

So, since I was talking about having to remove something, it'll likely be the Wraithlord. It has Toughness 11, which might be too high for a friendly tournament. So, Windriders stay, Wraithlord goes. Bring on the Guardians and Rangers, hahaha.

list is legal and good for this tournament. You won't have to drop the wraithlord, they're fine if there's only one of them.

(vehicles and monsters you'll be seeing will all be Toughness 10-12 )

Alright, the Wraithlord stays then. That's good, as I think it looks cool.

Ok, so I decided to drop the Windriders in favour of Guardian Defenders and Rangers, as I previously said I might. I was told that Eldrad wouldn't survive long without a bodyguard unit, so this way he has one (He is allowed to lead them). That leaves exactly 55 points, which is what a squad of rangers cost.

I also replaced the Wraithlords shoulder mounted guns with Bright Lances (I was able to source a second bit from someone, as the sprue only comes with 1).

Anyway, I'm over halfway done building everything. Should hopefully be done in a few days. Then I can get on to applying primer and such.
