Blackshields Nemean Outlanders - 2500pts

[Cypher 64]

Been experimenting with a Blackshields Outlander army as an alternative to my Dark Angels. I’m very drawn to the Nemean Reaver due to his esoteric Dark Angels origins. I’ve tried to give this list a ‘void corsair’ feel; lots of speeders, deep strike and xeno wargear.  All of the vehicle choices are AV 12 or less, there’s no Heavy Support choices and I’ve generally avoided high-strength ranged fire power.

At this stage, I’ll be deep striking the terminators and seekers – relying on the nuncio vox’s and Damocles to guide them down. The Nemean Reaver will ride in the Damocles with the support squad, they will be flanked by the Close combat-kitted Marauder Rhinos. Hoping this will be a fun list to both verse and play while remaining fairly competitive with seven scoring units.

Keen to hear any suggestions, still very much a work in progress!
