So for reference, Panoptica makes bikes & Atramentar actually worth using. The bikes have 2 wounds, battle hardened (1). Atramentar get +1WS, LD, & Stubborn. So the idea is the outrides each get a Herald. Then they run around the board shoot people with plasma guns while trying to not to die.

The command squad Deathstar, & Atramentar roll up the board chopping people up. Sabres & Landspeeds for long range firesupport.

What does the council think?

wise kernel
#

I'm no night lord but this sounds solid

#

outriders are, well, ALMOST usable by base book, their damage output is good with plasma (comparable to a TSS) and have more movement, but they struggle to stay alive, so BH1 and +1 wound REALLY helps. and then WS5 Atramentar is just good?

#

idk why no good weapons on the hearlds tho, charnibals dont feel right here

blissful panther
#

Save points & they are mostly there to give them line

blissful panther
#

The other thought is skip the outriders & just make a jetbike deathball with 5 HQs with hammers

#

Use the rest of the points for more killers

wise kernel
#

jetbikes are probably MORE optimal here, but also its an outrider army. how unique is that

blissful panther
#

white scars say hello

#

Also there is a generic Panoptica RoW that does something like this (except their outriders get line)

wise kernel
#

I know they CAN run outriders, but who does

wise vortex
#

i like it

#

i do wonder if you aren't a bit light on the big dakka support

blissful panther
wise vortex
#

but the other major suggestion i have to perhaps split the landspeeders

blissful panther
#

flyers aren't great though

#

other than the xephon

wise vortex
#

treu

#

but still

#

the idea appeals to me XD

blissful panther
#

understandable

#

but they are a biker gang

#

why would a biker gang have a bunch of planes?
