Scourge



I am finally doing some list tests to figure out what I really plan on bringing to Nova this year. So lets start off with the Scourge and see where this takes me.


The first one here maximizes the Command of the list, and uses dual Oppressors as its primary ground force backed up by an Annihilator. While this list is light on AA vehicles, it uses a squad of Stalkers for area denial and lets the Harbingers do the light dropship hunting. A set of Minders are there to float around the Annihilator, while the Prowlers are meant for a token backfield threat. I have also went with a token standard two troop unit Marauder, and a faster warriors in a light dropship to get in and out for quick objective grabbing.





The second list goes traditional with one of my favorite squads, a 9 strong squad of Hunters, backed up by Reaper AA, harassment Minders, and a Desolator. This list is designed to take advantage of the Scourge Command and hit hard with Hunters while providing search and destroy AA with the Reapers. Of course the Desolator with its new rules allow it to count towards focal points, and is a great benefit and is more efficient use of a command than using an Oppressor (no need to take a dropship)



While I have already ran the last list here, I plan on running the first one tomorrow. Possibly with a list variant of a tormentor squad in there in place of the Annihilator.
