Fireprisms, Seers and a update.

Hey all, Still alive. Updates have been sporadic partially because of real life, partially because of my not playing any wargames and partially because of the crushing defeat I was handed the last time I played. It happens to us all sometimes, you play a game where just everything possible goes wrong, the dice hate you, your units go on strike you just have no fun. So you leave for a while untill the bug bites you again.

So I resolved to wait untill I could build my new armylist, finally last night my fireprisms arrived and I'm all fired up to start building and painting them. With the fireprism's arrival I realized I need to get some more waveserpernts too as I really lack tanks, so I'm building a adhoc armylist to try and tide me over untill I have the cash to get some more plastic crack. Behold the semi-mech abortion I plan on playing as soon as possible:

6x Firedragons - 96

1x Falcon with Holofield, Spirit Stones and Eldar missile launcher - 180

1650 Points.

Well on to the reasoning for the strange list, I've been keen to try out Double seer configuration for some time. Normally I would use Eldrad for all the psychic might I could ever need, but with the scaling amount of anti-psyker gear I've recently been seeing getting off that crucial "Fortune" seems pretty awesome. The second reason is that I can spread out my wave serpents a bit as I don't have to keep them so close together just so they are in the 6" range for castings of fortune from a single seer.

On a sunny day we can fortune 3 Tanks up, on a not so sunny day we can Fortune up the serpents and then open a can of whoop-ass with Doom + Guide. I know it's a ton of points in characters but It's something I wanna try out. If anybody has tried it let me know.

Moving on I'm gonna try out the little Vypers. I'm torn between making them a single squadron and splitting them. At the moment I'm leaning on two different slots but if anyone has any advice I'd be willing to listen. Hopefull the Vypers will be able to pop some rear armor with their S6 shots.

Last but not least I'm keen on trying some prisms, I don't know if Holofields will really be worth it for them but I'll test em and see. In all a really strange list, and I think I need 2 more Serpents to really make it effective but I'll see where this goes. As always if you have any feedback I'd love to hear it.
