| Hey looking for advice doing a 1200pts tournament against marines and CSM. New to the game and looking to find out what a competitive army list would be against these teams.
At the moment models i have are -
55 warriors 2 Ravagers Talos 5 Wyches 4 Incubi 9 Splinter cannons 2 dark lances 1 archon 1 raider 5 reavers.
Any advice much appreciated THANKS | |

| Do you know what your enemy is likely to use?
What is your Archon equipped with?
What have you got equipped on your Ravagers and your Talos, or are the weapons magnetised?
What weapons do you have on your Reavers?
What upgraded models do you have?
Is it a friendly tournament that will accept models having different things to what they are modelled with, or is it proffessional and strict?
Would they accept carboard cuttouts of transports? | |

| Friendly tournament, subs acceptable no named characters allowed. Archon standard but can equip any way No cardboard cutouts but could sub from other armys. enemy most likely to use imperial fists with lightening claw terminators, 2 drop pods unsure of rest. Also fighting choas with predator, havocs, obliterator and HQ with lash of submission. Talos, reavers and ravagers weapons are substituentable
hope that answers everything. | |

| Hmmm... not a lot to work with. i would run something like: - Quote :
- Total Roster Cost: 1197
1 Archon,+ Agoniser + Haywire Grenades + Combat Drugs + Shadow Field 30
4 Wyches, + Haywire Grenades + Hydra Gauntlets x1 1 Hekatrix,+ Haywire Grenades + Phantasm Grenade Launcher , Blast Pistol + Venom Blade 1 Raider, + Enhanced Aethersails
10 Kabalite Warriors, + Blaster x1 + Dark Lance x1
10 Kabalite Warriors, + Blaster x1 + Dark Lance x1
9 Kabalite Warriors, + Blaster x1 + Splinter Cannon x1 , 1 Sybarite,
9 Kabalite Warriors, + Blaster x1 + Splinter Cannon x1 , 1 Sybarite , 1 Ravager, 3 disintegrators, + Flickerfield 1 Ravager, 3 disintegrators, + Flickerfield 4 Reavers, + Heat Lance x1 + Cluster Caltrops x1 1 Arena Champion, + Venom Blade
Arcon goes with the wyches in the raider (hope for a "6" on the drug roll!), use ethersails to go behind the enemys line at a weak spot, and prepare to jump out and lay waste to TANKS first, then people. If the raider gets destroyed, remember to ALWAYS take the first wound on your archon, using his 5+ save, not the shadowfield! better to risk a wound, save a wych and the field than not. 2 units of warriors (with champs) should be moving forwards to take objectives in the enemys zone, shooting the whole way. 2 other warrior units stay back 24" or so from enemy, and dark lance vehicles, then splinter fire infantry. The jetbikes are dual purpose as well, if you do not have first turn, reserve em. if you do, line them up where they can hit something juicy! Bladevane turn 1 (4 d3 str 4, 1d6 str 6!) then you can choose to keep bladevaning, take out small marine units, or heat lance a tank. The key to the army are your 18 str 5 ap 2 shots with a 48" threat range. Keep the ravagers alive! they have flickerfields in case you get siezed on. Thats what i would take and do anyway if it was me... Good Luck! | |
