Hi guys, fairly new yak here. Just wanted to run by you my list. I must say that its intended to turn up the flavor, unlike my old Venators which win all the time. However, yes of course i want it to be optimised, and be the best escher list that i can be.
"The Dragonflies"
Queen 125: Mesh 15, Blood Rush 15, Needle Rifle 35, Tox (Paralysing) 5, Tox (Maddening) 5, Tox (Concentrated) 15, Lasgun 5, Servo Claw 35, [250pts] (Overseer)
Deathmaiden 115: Mesh 15, Blood Rush x1 15, Plasma pistol 50, Venom Claw 30, Tox (Paralysing) 5, Frag Boobytrap 20, [250pts] (Spring up)
Bounty Hunter M5 (the fast one) 80: Displacer field 70, Flechette Pistol x2 60, Chem Synth 15, Stubgun 5, [80pts] (Evade)
Sister Specialist 50: Mesh 15, Needle Rifle 35, Tox (Paralysing) 5, Tox (Maddening) 5, Tox (Concentrated) 15, Lasgun 5 [130pts] Remember to aim!
Sister 50: Mesh 15, Shotgun 30, Blood Rush 15, [110pts]
Sister 50: Mesh 15, Shotgun 30, Blood Rush 15 [110pts]
Juvie 20: Flash Grenade 15, Stiletto Knife 20, Tox (Paralysing) 5, Stubgun 5, [65pts]
Strategies:
- Juvie: Basically intended as a flash grenade transportation device and a cheap objective monkey, she also has a stiletto to make use of that 4+WS and if she scores a wound the paralyzing will allow her to make a coup de gras easily. She doesn't really deserve flak but heavy cover isnt so hard to find.
- Sisters: as many on here well attest the solid shot shotgun is a solid option, blood rush is there for the lols.
- Specialist: Exists with one purpose in mind, beaning some characters and either getting them paralysed for someone to coup de gras or turning them reckless so they shoot their own dudes with that expensive weapon you spent over a hundred points on. Becoming billy no-mates because youre reckless along with a weapon with a range of 40" like a heavy stubber is cheezy as hell and i love it. The lack of rapid fire in my team is somewhat offset by most of their weapons being D2 or paralyze.
- Bounty hunter: I bought some Phyrr cats because i like the model, but 120pts is way over priced for something with only 1 wound and t3. So instead my Bounty hunter is counts-as. I specifically like the pairing of Displacer Field with Evade, so the cat can basically dodge most fire and be immune (like my cat). The twin flechettes are there just because my mates expecting me to bring tox and i cant disappoint, obviously twin guns blazing at effectively str4 is nice, just imagine that when catto gets into close combat that all those shots are bites and claws. I also have 2 flachettes on a sprue so it made sense to use them. I plan to make a saddle for the cat and glue one to each side.
- Death Maiden: Unless your going all-in on making a plasma matriarch your probably gonna want the Iron Maiden, plasma pistol is there to ensure she can shoot one guy and charge a different guy in the turn. Fragbooby is there to slow down my opponent. Spring up paired with blood rush is a nice combo; reduce a wound to nothing and then stand back up as a free action has got to be scary on something T4.
- Queen: Ah yes i call mine "Winehouse", im not really sure what i was going for tbh. Shes doing the same job as the specialist but also has a servo claw to deal out 3 hits of damage 2. She can use overseer to boost someone elses shots, maybe the Bounty hunter. If anyone has any ideas for alternate queen builts please drop them in.
I call my custom Toxin: "Munches Anxiety", because it can paralyze and drive you mad at the same time.
So yeah, thats the list. Now tear me apart like soft bread!
