I am a huge fan of fliers in general. The voidraven and the razorwing jet are both fantastic models, and right now - super good on the field. 8th has finally let me have my air superiority vision on the field for all my armies Smile

Razorwings have been backordered forever, but I heard they're being repackaged into some new kit. You can usually score voidravens for ~65$ shipped on greedbay (watch for those 15$ off 75$ flash sales, very handy)

Can confirm Flyers. I'd add Ravagers or Scourges. Pickup Gangs of Commoragh and get 10 hellions and 6 bikes for the price of 1 and a half box of just Reavers.

To add up to 200, I'd go for Gangs, RWJ, Ravager and 2 boxes of Scourges or another flyer.

A Ravager is a good call. Based on your existing, I'd also suggest Scourge or get some Incubi with a Venom in there for combat ability.

I'd first focus on shooting since what he has is a Kabal force. I'd add true melee capability in next 200 bucks. For now the Reavers and Hellions from the Gangs should be good enough counterassault/melee threat. They are hard enough to learn to play, but cheap to get. Incubi are worse IMO as any sane opponent does anything to prevent them from charging. But its just my opinion.

My go to base units to look for would be:

Warriors and accompanying raiders to party hard in.
Razorwing/Voidraven - pick 1 or both!
Ravager(s) - The more you bring, the better the murder party!
Scourges. Surprise party brigade.

A ravager or flier for sure, they are great AT.

If you can get it - the Gangs box is amazing value

As for playing potential - fliers are incredible. So much so that I feel bad taking 2 of them in casual games now...

Probs a Razorwing and Voidraven. Hellions and Wyches look nice in this edition.

I'm running Reavers as Cloud Dancers (corsair) tomorrow, just to see if they're a little more usable than stock reavers.

I have the old 3rd ed Reavers, i bought some Eldar Windriders and combinded them for my Cloud Dancers, i love them i have 9 of them, 2 Barons and a Prince like that.

I used to run them as Flechers with Voidsabers (extremely effective shock melee unit) with Princes buffs. The Twin Shuriken gave me some shooting up shooting 1st and kept them cheaper.

Sense i have them set up that way i might finagle a melee unit of them too and do the same thing.

I have 18 Windriders so i dont need them as shooting units. BUT, I want to try Dis cannon units for fun too lol.

Back to topic:

I'd add two venom and a box of Kabalite to built true born.
Then one Ravager and a flyer (pick one).
And at last another Archon with raise and some Incubbi.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

They have Gangs of Commoragh at my local shop, and im leaning towards a voidraven, so at my shop it would run me about 120, what should i do with the remaining 80$? Smile

Subject: Re: What would you add with 200$ US? Sat Jul 01 2017, 19:36

Voidraven looks so cool, also Venom, and those can be painted in groups too.
Gangs of Commoragh are a real Bargain!

Im lucky because my shop owner has a Gangs box for me in hand. Im going to call and have him pick up the Voidraven before they sell out lol

Im also thinking venom and an incubi unit to finish it off.

Any opinions on Lelith? She's my favorite in the lore.

So you would run her as a succubus instead of her stats?

Incubi Posts : 1846 Join date : 2016-08-29

No if run her as her. Her fluff took one for the team but rules wise she's not bad.

@Roland: What are your priorities?
Good stats for playing? Model attractivity?
Easy to build or paint?
