Escalation League #3

Well, I just finished my next unit for the Escalation League!  My new Nightscythe was finished last night (except basing) and is resting proudly on top of my computer desk/work area.


Now it's push time for both the final unit of this month's Escalation League, which I will hopefully be picking up before the weekend....(It's not a secret, I'm buying a unit of Tomb Blades)...and the final touches on my Khuster's Cav.  Currently, here's where the army sits:

HQ - Khuster (Sammael) on jetbike
HQ - Ravenwing Command Squad w/+2 bikes, GL, Apothecary, and Standard of Devastation
HQ - Librarian w/Mastery Level 2, SM Bike

TR - Ravenwing Attack Squad w/+3 bikes, Meltagun, Flamer, Attack Bike w/Multimelta
TR - Ravenwing Attack Squad w/+3 bikes, Meltagun, Flamer, Attack Bike w/Multimelta
TR - Ravenwing Attack Squad w/+3 bikes, Meltagun, Flamer, Attack Bike w/Multimelta
TR - Ravenwing Attack Squad w/+3 bikes, Meltagun, Flamer, Attack Bike w/Multimelta
TR - Ravenwing Attack Squad w/+3 bikes, Meltagun, Flamer, Attack Bike w/Multimelta

FT - Ravenwing Darkshroud
FT - Ravenwing Support Squad w/4 LS Typhoons and Multimeltas

HV - Predator w/Heavy Bolter side sponsons
HV - Predator

That's a little over 2300 points of models.

Now, as per the last post, I am waiting for the SM codex to come out before I decide if I should swap out Dark Angels for White Scars.  Clearly, I'm going to lose access to the Command Squad and Darkshroud if I do, but factoring in the (rumored) point decrease of SM bikes, if I switch to a Khan-based army, it would save me about 230 points.  Plus the 295 for the Command Squad, and I'll use the Libby on bike model for Khan, so that's another 125 points gained, and lastly 80 points from the Darkshroud.

That's going to free up 730 points, meaning I can run every model I have for a WS army, and still be under the 1850.  Looks like I'm going to need a few more models.  So bikes?  Flyers?  Dreadnoughts?  I don't know. 

Have to wait for the codex...six words I hate to have to say.
