Trotted out the War Walkers and used them instead of Dark Reapers. I just wanted to try it. First game I loaded them with Bright Lances (though there was no Monolith, so that sucked) and the second game I loaded them up with Starcannons (and there was a Monolith, but it didn't suck because... hey, Starcannons).
I'm going to just go ahead and admit it: I cheesed out on the Starcannons. I didn't notice that I was doing it because it was a list I'd been tweaking for days and the little buggers just "crept" into the roster. Christian is a good sport and didn't give me any hassles, but maybe next time I won't take 11 Starcannons in a 1500 point list (I am a bad, bad man).
The real heroes of the day, however, were the Seer Council. I have really hit my stride with that particular unit and have gotten used to using them as the tip of my military spear. I really like them because not only will they pack a powerful punch in their own right, but having them on the tabel adds to other units' effectiveness and longevity. It's interesting to use a unit whose effectiveness, because of the psychic powers such as Guide and Fortune, isn't measured in how many points they kill in a game.
Watching the Seer Council slice open the Monolith was a thing of beauty, by the way.
Anyhow, here are some pics:
By the way, when I finally get my Seer Council completely painted then pics like this are going to be just so much more striking. Don't you think?
