What are the best cephalyx lists like post oblivion? I feel they’ll be buffed by the void archon: giving them dark shroud and a good spray for some tricks.

I think they lost free overlords or something in the transition, which put a huge dent into their viability. Then again Croes with telekinesis sounds saucy, do thete is room for experimentation. A riot quest caster attachment with spel slave is also coming, so watch out for that. |

To be honest to have a chance in the current meta (lots of Circle & Skorne) I have not had much of a chance locking them down with drudges as the cephalyx controllers just get removed to darn easy. This have made me move almost completely away from Drudges toward a more monstrocity heavy list - having 4-5 with both casters. Thexus primary skrew with Hordes thanks to arcnoding and rampager, which cyphon is more of a "win on alpha strike feat" type of list. Wardens are golden for 10 points with up to 6 ps16 attacks, but dominating A&H make them ps18 with 6 attacks that removes a lot. Subduers I feel lack 1 attack if they got dual attack (being able to shoot - drag - hit) and second initiale in melee then they would be at 5 ps16 (20 with Agitator/A&H). But I also using Herne & Jonne to make the Subduer viable. H&J is fun because they also help Bloats. Wreckers are just damage dealers. So right now I feel Cephalyx is a few steps behind the curve but not a lot should be done to get them in the mix. Cephalyx get back sacPawn(Drudge) and above mentioned subduer attack  Oh btw yes void provide something new but its hard to have 2 in the list and they aren't really all that supported but like all archon (-dhunian) its a pretty good model in it self. Dr stygian (sp?) Is somewhere in 2020 and can be good ... but at what cost probably loss of a pistol wraith |

I really wish Wardens had counter slam, but the prob wouldnt cost 10 points anymore if they got it.

Basic plan is assassination or scenario, doesn’t attrition well so you have to push the issue sooner rather than later. Works pretty well for me, obviously has a few bad match ups but so does everything to some extent.
