I'm off to Rapid Fire in Stirling this weekend, 5 games at 1750 points over 2 days. I've been advocating the use of Baron/Hellions lists for long enough and took mine to ToS a couple of weeks ago. However I really feel I needed more long range AT in the list and I have decided to change things about a bit for this one. Hellions are out and I have came up with this.
Baron Sathonyx: HQ (105)
Baron Sathonyx
Haemonculus: HQ (65)

Kabalite Trueborn: Elite (146)
3 Trueborn, 3 Blasters

3 Trueborn, 3 Blasters
Venom, Splinter Cannon
Kabalite Trueborn: Elite (146)
3 Trueborn, 3 Blasters

Inc Hekatrix, Agoniser
Raider, Dark Lance
Wyches: Troops (144)
7 Wyches, Haywire Grenades
Raider, Dark Lance
Warriors: Troops (125)
5 Warriors, 1 Blaster
Venom, Splinter Cannon
Warriors: Troops (120)
5 Warriors, 1 Blaster
Raider, Dark Lance
Beastmasters: Fast Attack (156)
3 Beastmasters, 4 Razorwing Flocks, 5 Khymera
Ravager: Heavy Support (115)
Ravager, 3 Dark Lances, Flickerfield
Ravager: Heavy Support (115)
Ravager, 3 Dark Lances, Flickerfield
Razorwing Jetfighter: Heavy Support (155)
Razorwing Jetfighter, 2 Dark Lances, Twin-linked Splinter Rifles, 4 Monoscythe Missiles, Flickerfield
Basically it's an alpha strike and mop up list. The Baron is there to help out with getting first turn.
11 DL and 11 blaster shots on 11 platforms all of which should be able to hit on 1st turn, if required. The aim is to get tanks suppressed or destroyed as soon as possible. Then get any infantry out of transports and into line of fire for the venoms and then assaulted by wyches and beasts. Sounds simple enough when you say it quickly.
It's low on troop count, only 29 models, so it's a case of securing 1 objective and contesting the rest in objective games. KP's will be a bit of a challenge with 21 in the list so the aim here will be to wipe out the enemy.
So there it is, still not quite decided whether to go with this or revert to my Baron/hellions list. Any ideas
