I made these changes after I found the Inquisistar was too vulnerable to the land raider being disabled, and that I was in need of some troops choices so people stopped auto-scoring Strike the Rank and File against me.


Game 1:

White Scars Battle Company+Culexus Assassin:

This is a rough matchup for me, more than normal battle company. The Hunter's Eye and shutting off my invis is terrible for me. Luckily I was able to keep his units off of objectives and limit his primary points, and snagged the relic the last turn for a close win.

13-11 Win

Game 2:

Pentyrants+Mawlocs:

This is a super easy matchup for me. I just rolled on Librarius, used psychic scourge to strip wounds off of his tyrants and shot them down with plasma then charged. The Mawlocs can't do much as long as I stay spaced out.

25-7 Win

Game 3:

Iron Priests+Dark Angels Super Friends:

He got veil of time, I got invisibility and null zone. The game became who could get their powers off and block each other's, and I definitely outdid him in the psychic phase.

25-5 Win

I really like how this army performed and I think it gives me a lot of even or good matchups, with a few bad matchups I just won't get around with a bike army (especially demons, definitely white scars battle company as well).
