Lots of ideas running around my head..
namely deathstars...
I like a lot of the formations, would be like the freedom of not taking that massive formation (1000pts with min units and no upgrades).
Because then you can make some really nasty combos... Veil of Tears in a Seer Council is just one example.
But failing that.... I think I will build around the Crusader Formation, its simple, 1 Shadowseer, 1 Death Jester and a unit of Harlequins.. no Solitaire which is a bit pants, but gets around the Skyweaver and Voidweaver taxes...
However, if you can take a Shadowseer, I'd like to bolt one into the Formation that you have to take, 1 unit of Harlequions, 1 unit of Skyweaver and a Voidweaver but allows run then charge.. if you can go down that route, I'm doing it.. because thats massive!
I still think there are a lot of weaknesses... going first.. but then wanting to objective grab.. means you have to weather a turn of fire power, tough call.. if you go first or plan on going first, you have to be a tabling army IMO. Going second, then you risk having to deploy back and then never making combat..
Nothing in codex can tank or take a hit, so Veil is massive, so its shrouded and stealth.. which kinda means going first.
These leads nicely onto the Warlord Traits, if you're building a list this way, then you're going for light or the dark warlord table with a troupe master... light and you're looking for +4 to seize and re-deploy (can get this with Eldrad tho..)
or..
Dark.. for the bonus turn shenanigans.. LMAO!
Again a tough call.. I think I prefer the light table.. Dark has that one off awesome power (5), 3 good (1,2 and 3) and 2 average (4 and 6), but light has 3 good (1,2 and 3), 3 very good (4,5 and 6). I think I will down the route of light for reliability.
