1250 Local tournament

Hi going to a 1250 local tournament next month and could use some help.
Havent played mutch de in 8th edition and never really done competitive before,
But here is my list and love to get some feedback on it.

Oh yeah so its 1250 points and only 1 detachment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEAVY

Ravager /w x3 Dark lances
---------------------------------

TOTAL : 1233pts

so do have a few points over for something, and not sure what eles to build have alot to choose from.

So my general idea here is having alot of speed and beeing somewhat tanky when all have vehicles, and have alot of spliter shots against infantry and sutch, and some dark lances and the jetfighter for the heavier stuff that might come up,
Not sure how this list is as i said havent really done competitive list before so and ideas would help .

Well any advice I could give might become obsolete by us getting our codex before the end of this month ... But all in all it looks pretty good.

If you took Darklances on the Razorwing jet fighter, would it net you enough points to put a Blaster into your 3 squads in the venoms? I think you might be lacking a little bit of Anti tank And having a few extra ap-4 D3 damage shots could be enough to crack open pesky Rhinos etc to let your Splinter weaponry poison there cargo. Maybe you could remove 5 kabalites and get an extra two blasters on your archons and put them in a raider to?

Dont forget if your versing a list with a bunch of deep striking to deploy kabalites outside of your vehicles for protection to. Good luck with the list though, its a good base

Try dropping some upgrades to take more units:

Archon w/ Agoniser, Parasite's Kiss - 58
Archon w/ Agonise, Blaster, PGL - 76

5 units of 5 Kabalites w/ Blaster - 50 each - 250 total

2 DL Ravagers - 155 each, 310 total

Razorwing w/ 2 DL, twin splinter rifle - 155

5 x Venom with twin splinter rifle - 80 each, 400 total

Total points 1249.

You have now spread your threats across more units and gotten an extra Ravager in there. You could drop the Razorwing and go 3 Ravagers, or drop a Ravager and go for 2 Razorwings.

This felt really awsome actually, way more dark lances,  and as ILovehashbrowns said i probably would have had problems against tanks and sutch, But this gets me way more fire power to deal with most things,

Good tip! its these things i dont really think of since iam kinda new and just play super casual with friends.

maybe you try and get a haemonc instead of an archon to buff the toughness of your raiders and venoms, and the changes hekatrixxy suggested are great

that also feels like a good idea, how does it work all my vehicles gain Haemonc keyword, but i can still use kabalite warriors as usuall in the same detachment, but they just dont gain anything from it?.

Up to now : yes you can - though I wonder if they change it in the codex.

Just wanted to give an update now when it was done.

won 2 out of 3 games but lost vs an chaos cultist spam list since we played with tactical objectives it was a really bad match for me, since i could only pick up cards depending on how many objectives i was holding for that mission and that was rough vs like 90 ish cultists. but thx for all your advice atleast managed to get 4th place overall so i am super happy about that.
