I've been testing using Doomsday Arks in the midfield bringing their Gauss Flayers into the game. This seems to be very effective if you bubble wrap them with warriors or scarabs.

Both Doomsday Arks and Ghost Arks also have fly so if you are charged, just fly away and lit those flayers.

Spearhead Detachment +1CP

Destroyer Lord

Fast Attack

This could be a very effective list against hordes, cc armies and vehicle spam.

Ghost Arks are used to grab objectives and as blockers.

Deploy everything midfield for board control. Stay put with the Doomsday Arks. Since there are 6 of them, you can easily reposition a couple without loosing much firepower.

The Destroyer lord can be downgraded to a Lord and more Scarabs can be added. A Stalker might also fit the army.

I'm currently 3 DDA's short for this list and a lot needs to be painted.

This list looks stupidly fun to play. However, because you don't have warriors, I would upgrade the Ghost arks to DDarks. You should be able to make room by dropping down the scarabs.

Yes, it's possible to run two spearheads with Lords as HQs. Then it' possible to have 8 DDAs and some Scarabs. But since three of the Arks will be moving around you are paying 34 points for a low power Doomsday cannon that hits on 4+. That's why I think Ghost Arks are better.

I think that they would actually be quite good without warriors in this list. You get:
- a tough vehicle
- big vehicle for blocking
- 12" move
- fly
- Gauss flayers

A low powered ddark has all of the benefits you mentioned in addition to a heavy d3 strength 8 ap-2 d3 damage gun. At least. Thats well worth the 34 points.

Haha yeah that definitely looks fun to play, and unexpectable for your opponent! Since you're short on arks are you going to run a smaller list (ex.: 1500) in the meantime or are you going to buy the missing ones?

Ok, I dropped the Ghost Arks and gone full blown doomsday (not really, it's possible to add another if the Scarabs are dropped).

Spearhead 1
Lord, Hyperphase sword
6 Scarabs
6 Scarabs
4 Doomsday Arks

Spearhead 2
Lord, Hyperphase sword
5 Scarabs
4 Doomsday Arks

1997 pts


We actually play mostly 1500 point lists so that would look something like this (I can proxy my 3 Ghost Arks for Doomsday Arks... or magnetize if i have the time.).

1491 pts Spearhead
Lord, Hyperphase sword
4 Scarabs
3 Scarabs
5 Deathmarks
6 Doomsday Arks

Haven't tried out Deathmarks yet in 8th, but I guess they would be good for objective grabbing and area denial.
If I drop the Deathmarks the Scarab units could be boosted to 7 and 8 models.
I will probably try out this list if someone wants to play against it. I don't want to be "that guy" bringing it to a tournament.
