1850 Tournament list for 1-17

Alrighty all; stuck this list together with some other minds and feel fairly confident.

I know I'll be in a drawing to see if I get to fight multiple Imperial Knights (plus some farsight enclave dickery); a thunderwolf star, and some other randoms.

The tourney, although featuring two KP primary objecives, should be fun, even with my 20 KP... All secondary obj are maelstroms, with tertiary being kill something. Linebreaker and Warlord kills are also points.

Here's the DE/Eldar list I came up with:

Autarch
Fusion Gun
- He is to help with the reserve manipulation.

Eldar Jetbikes (3)
TL Shuriken Catapault
- Come in from reserves unless they can be well hidden, and take Maelstrom Objectives.

Dire Avengers
Wave Serpent
Scatter Laser
Shuriken Cannon
Spirit Stones
Holo Field
- Serpents anyone?

Dire Avengers

Holo Field

Fire Dragons
Exarch
Wave Serpent
Scatter Laser
Shuriken Cannon
Spirit Stones
Holo Field
- These gents will likely be placed with the Archon below, in the spare raider, to DS with the WWP and wreack havoc on armor and such. The WS will be off on its own.

Archon
Haywire Grenades
Clone Field
Webway Portal
Venom
Splinter Cannon
- WWP Fire dragons in the Raider below; venom going to do venom-y things. Like kill infantry.

Warriors (5)
Blaster
Venom
Splinter Cannon
- Mobile flyer/vehicle harasser unit in the infantry killing machine.

Warriors (5)
Blaster
Venom
Splinter Cannon

Warriors (10)
Splinter Cannon
Raider
Dark Lance
Night Shield
Splinter Racks
- Anti infantry unit.

Ravager
Disintegrator (3)
Night Shields
- Anti heavy infantry unit, perhaps come from reserves.

Razorwing Jetfighter
Dark Lances (2)
- Gotta deal with the flyers that are bound to be around somehow.

Raider
Dark Lance
Night Shield
- Parade the archon and FDs to killing things.

I think you went overboard on upgrades for serpents. I also don't think the jetbikes will be useful, you have a very fast army without them. I'd drop all that for a unit of haywire scourges.

Exarch why are you spending 10pts to have almost nothing more than a normal FD? at least give him fast shot

I think you spent too many points in upgrades and, apart from FD, you are a bit low on AT for a tourney. What are your plans if your opponent has 3 knights?

Well, the list did alright; not great: first game vs Storm Raven Blood Angels formation; including deep striking termies and vets; which were allowed to charge with the landing inside the range of two teleport homers. medium points, and fairly bloody; but couldn't deal with the flyers.

Second game was vs guard with a baneblade: stole the initiative, killed everything but a single HP on the baneblade and took max points from the round.

Third was vs Sisters of Battle; with much too much scouting, and so he was in my face turn one, just annihilating things all game.

Ended up 9th of 20; but all games were good fun, so definitely a great day.
