So it's my first tourney in 6th, and I'm in need of a little help. Why the TO chose 750 as the point value is beyond me, but I'm game. Before I post the lists, here are the relevant facts:
1) I usually play at much higher point values.
2) Everyone in the tourney is expecting me to bring venom spam (what I usually dominate with), so I want to do something a little different.
3) I know there will be fliers in more than one other list.
4) I expect at least orks, eldar, necrons, and probably GK at the event.
Given all that, I came up with 2 basic lists.
List A:
\\HQ
Archon w/ Blaster -- 75pts
\\Troops
2 Squads:
5X Warriors w/ Blaster in Raider w/ nightshields, racks -- 140pts ea. (280 total)
\\Heavy
2X Ravager w/ nightshields -- 115pts ea. (230 total)
Razorwing Fighter w/ flicker and nightshields -- 165pts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List B:
\\HQ
Naked Haemie -- 50
\\Troops
5X Warriors in Raider w/ NS, racks -- 125 (Haemie goes here)
2 Squads:
3X Wracks in Venom w/ 2SC -- 95 ea. (190 total)
\\Heavy
2X Ravager w/ nightshields -- 115 ea. (230 total)
Razorwing Fighter w/ NS-- 155
The first list nearly maximizes the number of DL I can take at 750, but is really weak on AI. Also the 3 blasters won't have much to fire on most of the time since the whole goal is to stay out of range of enemy guns if possible. I'm not really worried about assault or counter assault. At this level, I figure it's best just to focus on one purpose and long range shooting is it.
The second list drops a lance and adds some much needed AI from the venoms, but for some reason, I'm sweatting the loss of an upgrade on the Warriors and FF on the Razorwing.
I could replace the razorwing with a dissie ravager and have room for more warriors in the boat and a few upgrades, but I really want to keep it in the list. Irrational I know, but there it is.
So that's about it. Critique away, please.
