Hey all,
so I finished a couple of prisms for my apocalypse army and I just ran them in their first non apoc game and they were outstanding. I am going into a tourney next april so i am thinking maybe this list would be ok to play. All comments welcome...

Farseer singing spear, doom, runes of warding 98

9 Banshees power sword 182
Exarch executioner
Wave Serpent T-l Shuriken cannon, shuriken cannon, spirit, vectored 140

6 Fire Dragons fusion gun, melta bombs 96

9 Dire Avengers avenger catapult 152
Exarch twin avenger catapult, bladestorm
Wave Serpent T-l Shuriken cannon, shuriken cannon, spirit 120

9 Dire Avengers avenger catapult 152
Exarch twin avenger catapult, bladestorm
Wave Serpent T-l Shuriken cannon, shuriken cannon, spirit 120

6 Warp Spiders deathspinner 196
Exarch 2 x deathspinners, power blades, withdraw

Falcon pulse laser,2xshuriken cannon,holofield,spiritstones 175

Fire Prism prism cannon, holo field, stones 160

Fire Prism prism cannon, holo field, stones 160

all up it's 1751pts and i am tempted to swap out the spiders for something more combat orientated...

Not much to say...

I agree that the Warp Spiders are the only doubtful choice here. I would consider instead :

- 3 Vypers as 3 units, with double Shuriken Cannon (60pts each)
or
- a squad of Pathfinders, and a Jetbike for your Farseer

The first choice would substantially increase your number of units (min-maxing), and your vehicle count (to overload your enemy's ATk units with targets).

The second choice is less obvious (see the thread on Rangers...). Pathfinders could add some psychological effect to your list.

I'm sure others will come up with other ideas. But on the whole I expect a lot of agreement on your list...


Good luck !

I like warp spiders, they work well with mech lists, although would like them to deep strike, not keen on dragons in falcons generally, although in two minds here, generally pretty solid list

I'd also suggest biking the farseer so that he can have doomed the banshee's target on the first turn they assault.

that would leave 165 pts to do something with if you drop the spiders.

If you want to add a CC unit you could add an autarch on a bike. All the other CC units wouldn't merge well with your lists with that few points.

Otherwise you could add six jetbikes w two cannons or 2(almost 3) vypers.

The vypers would try to survive by being low target priority. If a lascannon shoots down one of those vypers instead of hitting a loaded serpent the vyper may have earned his keep right there.
