So the idea is to blanket the back field of my deployment fairly heavily spreading way out. The Emperor's Tarot should give me a +1 to going first which will allow me to open on units that represent threats to the Death Strikes.

Mystics give me defense against Drop Pod and Deep Strikers
Psychic Hood for defense
Callidus and Marbo are for getting hidden units undug

I'd like to find the points for Straken but... can't seem to.

Biggest weaknesses, scouting/outflanking assault armies.
To counter that I am hoping to throw my 3 PCS out front to take 1st Charge, die and then allow other units to open up.

Statistically, 1 Deathstrike should launch turn 2.

8"-12" Template S10 AP1 Ordnance that ignores cover and is 10 all over not just under the center hole. If I haven't killed what I shot at... I should pray!

This would assuredly be a fun list to play.

I still think if an opponent figures a way to poopchutepooch your deathstrikes earlier on, you're in a bit of a bind.

It would be hilarious, though, to have someone deepstrike and deathstrike him in the face via the inquisitor.

Course, could be equally "funny" to have it scatter off and nuke a giant section of your own lines.

Anywho, it's a "trick" play ... not necessarily a reliable army play. But waddoIknow?


It'd be fun as heck to play ...
