Congrats Mark. Now when are we playing? Lol

Nah, mate. Got a colour scheme in mind. Thinking of going for a main colour of purple with the veins in dark blue, the eyes green and the vents and engine nozzles in bone. Probably do the plasma bits on the guns in a lighter blue. Thinking of trying my hand at a bit of object sourced lighting around the eyes and guns as well.

I'll be home in two or five weeks (depends if they extend me). Once I get the rules and the rest of the bits I'll be down and will take you up on the game offer.

great news Mark.. and we need a regular scourge player as Simon who bought Chris' scourge army doesn't come to club anymore.

After listeining to Chris's advice and looking on the forums I think that a squad of 8 Prowlers might be better. However it presented me a problem as it would have cut down the number of battlegroups I had. SO I looked at the list and thouyght that maybe 6 Hunters and 4 Ravagers was a bit too much AT. I've reworked the list, adding a second Warrior battlegroup with just a single squad in an Intruder A and moved the Ravagers in to the Warrior battlegroups. Question is do you think this second list is better or worse than the first list I put up? I know I am 16 points short but I just cant fill that gap.

4 Ravagers?

What are they? lol I like this list because it has more Infantry also...

I meant Reavers!

Are the flying gun ships? If so they are a strong unit. When Simon played them against me they did well. I need to be more disciplined with my AA because twice he got to activate these after I prematurely shot my lot of AA.

Thems the ones. Ravagers are the new walker AA for the Scourge. I'd read they are a good unit, hence why I'm getting four!

Right, after taking advice on here and the Hawk forum I have come up with a difinitive list (until I change my mind again). This is basically a mix of the two lists minus the Destroyers.

Standard Army

Standard Roster [1500/1500 pts]

  - Desolator: Desolator(Master) [225 pts]
  - Reaper Squad: 3x Reaper, Marauder [158 pts]
- Vanguard [450 pts]
  - Hunter Squad: 6x Hunter, 2x Marauder [292 pts]
  - Reaper Squad: 3x Reaper, Marauder [158 pts]
- Warriors [345 pts]
  - Warrior Horde: 3x Warriors, Marauder, 2x Invader [156 pts]
  - ^ Sharing ^ Warrior Horde: 3x Warriors [81 pts]
  - Reavers: 2x Reaver [108 pts]
- Warriors [202 pts]
  - Warrior Horde: 2x Warriors, Intruder Alpha [94 pts]
  - Reavers: 2x Reaver [108 pts]
- Occupation Patrol [120 pts]
  - Prowlers: 8x Prowler, 2x Intruder Beta [120 pts]

Gives me a lot of AT to deal with Nige's PHR as well as a good AA bubble. The only slight downside is the loss of the Destroyers for CQB but I think I can live with that as I'll just plasma occupied buildings to death!
