Hey all! I'm trying to find an effective way of using the fliers in our Codex for some tournaments that are coming up in the summer. I want to use as many of them as possible and work the rest of the list around that to make them as effective as possible.. Here's what I have for 2000 points.

HQ:
-x3 Haemonculi w/Liquifier and Venom Blade (65 per - 195)

EL:
-x2 Trueborn (4) with x4 Blasters in Venoms (173 per - 346)
-x1 Grotesques (4) with Ab with Flesh Gauntlet and Liquifier in Raider (250)

TR:
-x3 Warriors (5) with Blaster in Venoms (125 per - 375)

FA:
-x1 Reavers (3) with Cluster Caltrops (86)
-x2 Scourges (5) with x2 Haywire Blasters (130 per - 260)

HV:
-x1 Ravager (115)
-x2 Voidraven Bombers with x3 Shatterfield Missiles (185 per - 370)

At lower points levels, I'd drop a Voidraven in favor of another Ravager and drop the Reavers to get to around 1850. At higher points, I'd replace the Ravager with a Razorwing, add a 10-man Warrior squad in Raider, and add more Reavers and an Archon to get to around 2500.

Tell me what you think!

I worry that you only have 3 scoring units, and that those scoring units consist of only 5 squishy elves, which will likely by reduced to 3 or 4 if their ride explodes. Do you need three Haemonculi? I'd try and free up points for at least one more scoring unit.

Hmm... how about this then:

HQ:
-x1 Haemonculi w/Liquifier and Venom Blade (65)

EL:
-x2 Trueborn (4) with x4 Blasters in Venoms (173 per - 346)
-x1 Grotesques (4) with Ab with Flesh Gauntlet and Liquifier in Raider (250)

TR:
-x4 Warriors (5) with Blaster in Venoms (125 per - 500)

FA:
-x1 Reavers (3) with Cluster Caltrops (86)
-x2 Scourges (5) with x2 Haywire Blasters (130 per - 260)

HV:
-x1 Ravager (115)
-x2 Voidraven Bombers with x2 Shatterfield Missiles (175 per - 350)

1972

That gives me a few extra points.. and I'm not really sure where to put them..

Also, I forgot to mention, assume all vehicles have Flickerfield and all Venoms have the extra Splinter Cannon.
