Horde: The court has the medusae with the eye burst and ssylyth to try to weaken units before they charge. If its horde then there aren't alot of tanks so DL start dropping troops. Good amount of splinter weaponry to deal.
Mech: DL and blasters. Court runs down things that pop out.
Deathstar: DL and blasters focus fire on unit. If the Deathstar unit gets too close, use the court as a screen/ buffer for the opponent to charge and continue fire after.

Basically traded a wych unit for the court. They are the CC unit mob and the rest is a very shooty list to take out whatever excess is needed.

Did this work or no?

Crowe goes with the 7-men squad in the Redeemer, while the rest get inside the Ravens.

I diddnt think Crowe could Join squads?! He is Independant but does not have the "INDEPENDANT CHARACTER" specila rule! I could be wrong though!

Another DE list using Mandrakes at 2000. Not sure on the actual effectiveness, but I think it could be intimidating.

30 infiltrating models, 40 troops models + HQ bullet-catcher that gives them FNP (and LD 9 from the squad upgrade). Scourges are the cheapest anti-tank in the Fast Attack section, as well as the only ranged one. Cronoses (Cronoi?) give pain tokens to the Mandrakes ideally.

Anti-Horde: Um, the 30 guys with 2 shots (+2 attacks), the large blasts, and the marching splinter weaponry. I think that's covered.
Anti-Deathstar: Lots of bodies to go through as everything else gets hit, and the S8 AP 2 around the army can chip away at them.
Anti-Mech: Probably the toughest, with only 7 ranged units to shoot. Still can do some damage potentially, and with a fairly quick (hopefully) FC-token for the Mandrakes, plus the Cronoi, you can do some vehicle damage in melee.
