1000 pt Doubles Tournament List

Hey guys, I have a doubles tourney on the 16th, and am taking my DE. Partners are random each round (3 of em).

Here's what I'm considering taking:



Archon
Venom Blade
Shadow Field
Combat Drugs

Warriors 5
Blaster
Venom
Splinter Cannon

Warriors 5
Blaster
Venom
Splinter Cannon

Warriors 10
Splinter Cannon
Raider
Night Shield
Flickerfield
Splinter Racks

Ravager 1
Night Shield
Flickerfield

Ravager
Night Shield
Flickerfield

Wyches 9
Hydra Gauntlets
Hekatrix
Venom Blade
Raider
Flickerfield

Any comments?

Swap out the Archon for the Duke, he will bring much more flexibility and and options for a few more points. His weapons are also better than a straight Venom Blade. It may Wound on 3+, but any 5s and 6s ignore Armor Saves which makes it better in the long run vs enemies with decent Armor saves.

Drop the Splinter Cannon warrior on the Raider and put the Duke in that Squad. 3+ to wound with Rerolls is Nasty.

Lower the Wych count to 5 and put them on one of the Venoms.

You want the Ravagers to have Night Shields. Always keep them at Max distance.

You may alternatively want to include a squad of Blasterborn on a Venom or a Squad of 4 Trueborn with 2x Splinter Cannons + 2 Shard Carbines and attach the Duke there.

The list is good. play it.

Bali, the issue with the Duke here, is that I don't like characters in games under 1500 points, and to get him I'd have to drop 45 points somewhere. The Wyches are going to be a tarpit (hopefully); the initial list had a haemy there over the archon, but I had 50 points to play with.

Give it a run then!

I've had more luck with the flails than the Hydra Gauntlets on the Wychs though.

So, ended up with 2 minor wins and a major loss.

Game one was paired with foot orks vs a SM biker list and chaos on foot. No fliers on either side.

5 Objectives, Dawn of War.

Highlights:
Archon dies on turn one in a challenge with a relic bladed captain. First save; a one. Of course.
Minor Victory here.

Game Two was paired with a very new, young player with space marines vs tau and space wolves.

Kill Points, Spearhead.

We barely win, tabling the space wolves, me ending with a ravager on the board, and my parner losing nothing. Literally... Nothing.

Game three with another DE player... who brought a tantalus to a 1000 tourney. Vs drop pod space wolves and 2 vendetta, valkyrie and a vulture IG.

Turn 5 game ends with them claiming 2 obj of 3, with us haivng none; had one more turn occured, we likely would have won.

Oh well.

Fun day all around, so a good day.
