I originally set out to build a mech list, but I dont want to be "that guy," so I decided to build a footslogging/mech list.

The idea is based on a swinging door. Stationary troops on the pivot point, faster units towards the outside. The idea is to weaken the one flank from shooting and to discourage them from reinforcing the other flank that will be assaulted. The center serves the same purpose, while the outside of the "door" assaults from flank to flank. Here's the list. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Farseer
Bike, Spirit Stones, Doom, Mindwar

Howling Banshees x9

I'd be tempted to give the mounted DA exarch 2 shuricats, and gear the other squads to be tarpits. The footslogging squads would provide a pretty good defense from enemy assault troops trying to get at your firebase of reapers and pathfinders, and a bladestorming unit popping out of waveserpent has to be pretty painful. It would probably be worth it to keep defend on them too though, since they are likely to get assaulted.
