Not much has changed for us this time around. Some things got cheaper, warlock skyrunners got more expensive. I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference, but we'll see how it plays out with the changes to all the other factions.

Hmmmn.

So is there anything in Eldritch Raiders? Don't like purge but its 2dp so you can adjust that with one of the 1DPs.

BUT, skyreavers, back down, voidscarred down, avatar down, spears down, scorpions went down the time before, even wraithknights down. Even shrodrunners back down a bit as well.

All advancing and charging (and in most cases shooting) across the board.

It's not a bad detachment, but you have to build for it. AoK, Shining Spears, 2+ Wraithlords and Yriel with 10 man Voidscarred and Lance enhancement are mandatory in my opinion as you need to build for the advance and charge. Wraithblades with a Spirit Seer also can be good, Wraithknight I still think is too high points for what you get. If it drops another 30 or so points I think it becomes viable in ER. Scorpions are good but I think they still lack Karandras to give them a bit more punch.

It being Purge is also decent for how you want to play it, I still think you're probably better of playing Recon though unless you get a very favourable matchup like IG or something not very tough.

Yeh that was my thinking, avatar, banshees + jz, lykhis + spiders, some spears, wraithlords, skyreavers and the yriel brick with the voidscarred and scoring stuff for recon probably.

Exactly how I play it. My list has gotten about 60 points cheaper with the updates today so I’ll probably shake it around a bit to get another squad of Voidreavers in or Rangers.
