The VoD'ing Lord only really works (best) when used with Immortals. Id say drop down to 2 units of 10 warriors and get some of these guys in instead.
If youre taking a DLord, hes best with Wraiths. The LField / Scarab trick is a bit suicidal to be honest. Also, generaly id say go with the SoL over a Warscythe anytime.
Like the Detroyers and the Lith. Its a pain not having 4 FA slots available, then the Wraiths would fit nicely. Possibly loose a Destroyer unit for them, though its up to you ofcourse.
If you do decide to keep 30-40 Warriors, keep it to squads of no more than 12 (10 is usually more than enough). This will give you more scoring units and more flexibility while not taking away any of the firepower or numbers.
If ya drop down to two squads of 15 (or preferably 3 of 10) warriors you can fit in a 6 man immortals squad pretty neat, they work much better with VoD, 12" is usually just to close to be dropping a unit in for rapid fire and immortals can withstand more counter-attacking. 6 Immortals may not seem like much but it works GREAT for tank hunting. (admittedly I use a 10 man immortals squad but I only have 24 warriors and to keep you at 30 to have a reserves squad you could only take 6 immortals)
Also you can't put warrior squads in reserve unless you have at least 3 squads, you MUST field the first two squads of your troops choices.
Heh, I agree Pheonix "Crons should have the option of cutting out an HS selection for an extra FA (or something...)
would be wicked it that was possible i would field 12 wraiths then put them with 2 D lords and go hunitng but to get back to this list i would really drop the lighting field since this means the scarabs will have to tka elot's of wounds for this technique to work. I mean it's graet against Nids because the strenght 3 hits can actually do something against them but next to that it's kinda use less to be honoust just drop th scarabs for 3 wratihs and put ghaze of flame on the D lord instead of kigthing field and it will be great hunting unit. and phoenix is right about the Immortals for VoD they work lot better haven't had to much luck with scater and when you drop in 14" away you can't shoot anything and the any ordance weapon is going to have a party (had it happen several times) so Immortals are a better way to go and more change on taking out armour with penetrating hits aswell
TAke out those nasty snipers before they take out your destroyers they grind down your detstoyers before you know it.
