Man, Pairing Be'lakor and a Memory Buddy really kills your comp score!

Tom M, Mike, do you remember their policy on Dataslates // Formations?

Also, Belakor would be super helpful in pwning a Tranny C'Tan

I reviewed their allowances before writing the list. Data Slates are allowed, and you are allowed a single formation.

Belakor is really good. The certainty to have access to the whole telepathy tree is amazing. In addition to being a tough FMC that can beatstick people as well.

Fearless cultists are also ballin. Not having to worry about babysitting them against moral/pinning tests is huge.

I think this list could actually do really well at the Battle point portion of Astro. Sure you give up an extra 4-6 comp points compared to most lists, but you make up for it by winning.

Meh, just make the points back with a bitchin' display board.

Few changes could probably make it really hard. And save you points. Swap one unit of havoc for a pred or oblits. Last memory prince could be swapped for a sorc on a bike that hangs with your other bikes.

Would save you points for duplicates and flyers and still be fairly scarey

I think I'd favour the memory prince for the utility of FMCs against other FMCs and fliers. It also keeps the memory as an independent vector from the bikers and can't be tar pitted while in the sky.

gott find a way to give it a spell familiar then. memory is not kind to perils

Note: vulnerable to Wave Serpents.

said about every unit in 40k.

Wave Serpent uses Serpent Shield. It's Super Effective!   

All kidding aside I think you should have put both units of cultists on the board to start and used them to prevent me from kicking your backfield around.

Also I would have kept both princes in the same area so I couldn't kill them one at a time.
