My second game of 9th Edition, this is against Jake from Cadian Shock.  I was stomped in my first game, how would this go?

List Theory

Looking back on my last game I decided that I had built a trick list around the Blight Grenades.  I had little room for manoeuvre if that strategy failed, and failed it did.  So with this game I was looking to build a list that would still let me try some of the new things from War of the Spider while also being a bit more “solid”.
